Chapter 666 Valeria had had enough. She abruptly stood up. âSay that one more time, Kevin.â
âIâll say it again, Iâm not afraid of you. Do you think I donât know about your man over there, calling off the engagement on the day it was supposed to happen, and having a child with another woman. He treats you like this and youâre still clinging on to him.
Whatâs your career success worth? In terms of relationships and family, youâre nothing but a complete loser!â
âKevin, youâve got guts, but no matter how much of a failure I am, Iâm still your boss. Donât let me catch you slipping up at work.â
With that, Valeria stormed out of the room.
Jared followed her.
Raleign sighed. âIs it too much to ask for a peaceful meal? All this arguing gives me a headache, and Iâve lost my appetite.â
With that, Raleign also left.
Kevin, still fuming, threw down his fork and stormed out of the restaurant.
Beatrice hadnât even come for dinner in the first place.
So, the once bustling dining room was now eerily quiet, with only Agnes and Ryder left.
Agnes seemed unfazed.
She ladled herself a spoonful of soup. âThis is topâgrade truffle soup. It would be suchâaâwaste to let it go cold. Ryder, have some too.â Ryder remained silent.
When Agnes looked up, she found Ryderâs gaze fixed on her face.
Agnes blinked. âWhy are you looking at me?â
Ryder spoke up. âDid you have anything to do with what happened?â
âWhat do you mean?âBooks Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates...
âYou know what I mean. Iâm talking about Lauraâs affair with my Uncle Berlin.â
Agnes finished her bowl of soup before calmly responding. âWhy do you suspect me?â
If it wasnât you, you wouldnât have made me come back here to witness this drama. Agnes, tell me, did you find out something about the past? Did Laura harm you and your mother?â
Agnesâ expression finally shifted. âYes, I havenât fully investigated yet, but Laura is definitely involved. And my father was set up by her to have an accident.â
Speaking of this, Agnesâ fingers unconsciously clenched.
Ryder was shocked. âYouâre saying your fatherâs accident wasnât accidental, but deliberate?â
Agnes nodded.
Ryder said, âThis is murder. Did Laura do it?â.
Agnes turned to look at Ryder. âIt was Laura and Berlin. So, I wonât let either of them get away with it.â
Ryder was even more taken aback. He hadnât expected Berlin to be an accomplice.
Ryder said, âSo, youâre even planning to go after my Uncle Berlin? Is it you whoâs trying to harm him?â
Agnes looked down. âRyder, I can only tell you this much. You shouldnât worry about the rest.â
âI canât just ignore this.â
Agnes scoffed. âWhat, are you afraid Iâll harm your Uncle Berlin?â
âNo, Iâm afraid youâll do anything for revenge and end up getting hurt. Berlin is no pushover, donât underestimate him.â
Agnes hadnât expected Ryder to be worried about her safety.
Agnes said, âI know my limits. I wonât act recklessly. Theyâve done unforgivable things, and Iâll use the law to make them pay.â
Ryder still looked serious.
Agnes seemed confident, but Ryder knew there were dangers lurking.
Berlin and Laura were not to be trifled with.
And if Berlin did get involved, Valeria wouldnât stand by either.
