Chapter 262 The three of them returned to Cecileâs house afterward. Kayson had
only taken a seat for a short while before he received Rowena's call.
He arrived at Rowenaâs house soon after.
He found Rowenaâs door vandalized by someone, and the stainless steel frame was jagged from the
hitting
Kayson furrowed his eyebrows. âIt's me, Ms. Todd. Please open the door.â
âYou're here at last, Kayson!â
Rowena's shaky, fearful voice was heard coming from the door gap.
The door opened, and Kayson walked into the house to find Rowena holding a cooking knife for
self-defense.
"Where's your brother?â
Rowena said fearfully, âMy brother was summoned back to work, so he left early in the morning.â
Kayson nodded. âWhat's going on with the vandalism on your door?â
Rowena's eyes reddened with tears at the mention of the door.âl... I told a friend that I'm planning
to quit my current job yesterday night. As a result, my manager called me this morning saying that I
will need to bear the consequences if I choose toquit my job."Kayson furrowed his eyebrows. âWhat
has your resignation got to do with your manager? What sort of company is so tyrannical that the
employees are not allowed to quit?â Rowena said awkwardly, âH-He tried to ask me out previously,
but I turned him down.â Kayson understood the situation and said, âHence, he tried to make you
stay so he could take the time to steal your heart slowly, right?â"Rowena said with a bitter
expression, âI think so... However, I don't have feelings for him at all!âMost importantly... I didn't
expect that the person I thought was my best friend would actually betray me. I told her after 12:00
last night, and my manager had already sent someone to threaten me this morning.â Kayson
considered for a moment before asking, âDo you visit the pub frequently?â"Rowena shook her head.
âI don't! My brother will never let me go to pubs or bars! He said it's not safe there!â âHow did you
end up being targeted by Matthew then?â âUh, I have no idea either..."Kayson pulled out his phone
and asked for Matthew's number from Shyla before he dialed it.
"Who is it?â The call was picked up, and Matthew sounded impatient on his end, âIt's me, Kayson.â
Something dropped at Matthew's end, and a noise was heard."M Mr. Yarde! I'm sorry, I didn't realize
that you're the caller!"Matthew was so scared that his knees buckled, and his voice sounded
shaky."Tell me, how did you get to know about Rowena?"Matthew was startled and begged for
mercy. âI shall head over to apologize to Ms. Todd now, Mr. Yarde. I'll pay! I promise you that I'll
ensure her satisfaction!"Kayson was rendered speechless. âThat's not what I'm asking. Answer my
question!â
Matthew said anxiously, âA friend of mine told me. I shall ask him how he knows about Ms.Todd at
once!""Alright."Kayson waited for about three minutes before Matthew's voice was heard again over
the call."Mr. Yarde, my friend told me that a woman named Felicia Quinlan gave him her information
and photograph!âKayson turned his head and asked Rowena, âAre you acquainted with Felicia
Quinlan?âRowenaâs expression changed drastically. âS-Sheâs my best friend, the one I talked to
yesterday night..."Her eyes were burning with fury. âSo, I was targeted by Matthew because my soâ
called best friend betrayed me again?âKayson nodded and said to Matthew over the call, âThat's all.
Remember to come and apologize to Rowena.â After hanging up the call, he said, âI shall go to your
company with you and see this Felicia.â
