Chapter 1616

Neville couldn’t believe the nerve of this guy.

He stood up, glaring at him.

“What are you doing here? You aren’t welcome.

Beat it!”

But Wyatt brushed it off.

He strolled in, still grinning.

“Hey, Mr.

Pierce, chill.

Heard your grandma’s in a fix, so I thought I’d drop by.

We were almost in-laws, weren’t we?”

Miley’s fists clenched at the memory of their kidnapping.

She spat, “You’re a criminal.

It’s your fault Bertha is like this.

We’ll nail you! You’ll rot in jail!”

Wyatt just sneered.

He smirked, eyeing Miley.

“We’re in a society of laws, sweetheart.

You need proof to talk.

Even if you’re Neville’s girlfriend now, sling mud at me and I’ll set my lawyer on you.

”

Miley seethed at his audacity.

She clenched her teeth, eyeing him.

“You snatched me and Bertha to the deserted island.

I saw it all.

If she doesn’t wake up, you’re to blame!”

Wyatt just shrugged.

When he spoke, his words dripped with disdain.

“What’s got this young lady all riled up? I don’t recall doing anything like that.

”

“You!” Miley shot him an angry glare.

“You shameless creep.

”

He smirked, unfazed.

“Say what you want.

But if you’re tagging me as the bad guy, go ahead, sue me.

I’ll get you the best lawyer.

But, uh, you must have proof.

Otherwise, it’s all just hot air.

”

He chuckled, as if it was all a big joke.

Miley boiled with rage, lunging at him.

She aimed to slap him hard but he caught her hand in mid-air.

“Well, I was just being nice, visiting the patient.

Is it too much to ask for some manners?”

He played the innocent victim.

Miley winced as his grip tightened, her expression pained.

Furious, she spat, “You shameless jerk! Let me go!”

Neville rushed over, pulling Wyatt’s hand off Miley and shoving him back.

He shielded Miley, shooting daggers at Wyatt.

“Beat it! If you don’t scram, I’ll have security toss you out!”

Wyatt stumbled back, glaring up at Neville as he regained his footing.

His expression turned icy as he met Neville’s fierce gaze.

He chuckled, shooting Miley a look like he was doing her a favor.
