Chapter 667 In the study, a standâoff was taking place between Berlin and Laura.
Berlin lit a cigarette, âLaura, why did you send everyone away? What is it that you want to talk about?â
âI want to tell you, Berlin, that youâre really foolish. If I truly wanted to harm you, I had plenty of opportunities over the last four years. Why would I choose a method that you would doubt?â
1 Berlin responded, âThatâs because you never thought I would find out about your affair with Hammer.â
âBerlin, do you really care that much about my affair with Hammer? Did you marry me because you loved me? No, it was because I could help manage your business. If you hadnât had that car accident, do you really think you would have wanted a divorce?â
Berlin furrowed his brow. The reason he valued Laura was indeed her abilities.
She was sociable, had extensive connections, and was not lacking in business acumen.
Over the years, she had helped him invest and make quite a fortune.
Their relationship was more of a mutual benefit.
She needed a status to move about in the high society of the Capital.
And he needed someone to help him, he didnât want to be seen as someone who relied on his brother for success.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates...
As for love, he couldnât quite say there was ever love between them.
After all, no matter how well a woman nearing fifty maintains herself, she canât compare to the fresh youth of a twentyâ
something.
But those young girls didnât have her sharp mind.
Laura continued, âEven if we go our separate ways, as long as we donât split up, there shouldnât be any conflict. Besides, Hammer is your brotherâs man. Pulling him to my side was also to probe your brotherâs intentions. On the surface, he loves you as a brother, but he only wants to hand over the family property to Ryder. If Ryder really takes over the company, will there still be a place for you in the Thomas family?â
Berlin scoffed, âSo youâre saying, you cheating on me is for my own good?â
Laura calmly retorted, âIâm just trying to prove that I have no reason to risk using such a crude method to harm you. Iâm being framed.â
âThen who do you think is framing you?â
Laura believed that Agnes was involved with the incident.
At the time of Berlinâs accident, he was at Eden Nights.
Hammer had found out that Agnes was staying at Eden Nights during that period.
How could it be such a coincidence?
And, Agnesâ appearance today was no coincidence either.
Laura spoke, âI suspect Agnes has found out about Prestonâs death.â
Berlin frowned, âAgnes?â
âShe must be the one stirring things up. Berlin, you canât fall for her tricks.â
Berlin finished his cigarette, but he was still skeptical about Laura.
Laura stated, âI will find out the truth about this and present the evidence to you. If I, Laura, have harmed you, I will die miserably, I swear on my life.â
Berlin replied, âI have indeed been careless about this. I always found that girl suspicious. If she really wants to avenge her father, itâs not surprising that she would set up such a scheme to make us destroy each other.â
Laura responded, âAs long as you understand.â
But Berlin was more worried. If indeed that girl was back for revenge, things would get even more complicated.
Her identity was special, she was now Ryderâs fiancée.
If Ryder was also involved and stood against him, then...
