Chapter 222 Interested in Kyle?

Eric turned his frosty glare on Miles, his words sharp. “Betrayal, severing ties?”

Though soft and controlled, his voice was laden with a threat that sent shivers down Miles‘ spine at just the sight of Eric, a coldness spreading from his feet:

Miles scratched his head, trying to defuse the tension with a nervous laugh. “Ah, it’s nothing, just babbling.”

Eric, placing his laptop aside efficiently, narrowed his eyes at Miles. “With Kyle going public with who he is, you’re still worried he’ll come after you?”

Miles averted his gaze guiltily, muttering softly, “I’m not scared of Kyle. I’m worried he might cause trouble if he comes to Haldoria.”

With a cold smirk, Eric noted. “Seems like you’ve stirred up some chaos yourself, haven’t you?”

Miles remained silent..

Deflated, Miles closed the door behind him softly, stuttering, “But, but…

Kate’s probing eyes were on Miles, pressing, “But what?”

She felt there was a secret Miles was holding back, a puzzle she was eager to solve.

Miles, hesitant, finally covered his face. “It’s nothing, I swear!”

Kate looked at him with suspicion.

Nothing?

She noted Miles’s unmistakable signs of embarrassment. His face flushed, his ears were red.

What was he concealing?

Her curiosity was piqued further, yet Miles kept his lips sealed.

Cough.

Eric broke the silence.

Miles, startled, looked his way, anticipating his following words.

“Do you have somewhere else to be?” Eric’s tone was detached, with a chill in his look.

Confused, Miles asked, “What?”

Eric’s stare became glacial. “If you have no further business, you’re free to go.”

Chapter 222 interested in Kyle?

Finished

Eric is so heartless! After briefly pausing, he muttered, “Nothing. I’m heading out.”

Miles drove away, leaving the estate in a haze, enveloped in a veil of intrigue.

Kate’s gossip–filled eyes turned to Eric, her curiosity unanswered. “Ric. What’s going on with Miles and Kyle?

“Why does he seem so opposed to Kyle’s arrival in Haldoria?”

Eric looked at Kate with a hint of helplessness, lightly tapping her nose, his voice full of doting. “You

His eyes grew serious. “Kyle’s arrival in Haldoria would draw unnecessary attention.

“Why?” Kate’s curiosity knew no bounds. She had been racking her brain to recall where she had heard. the name ‘Kyle‘ in her previous life, but it seemed he was someone she had never encountered..

“He’s the heir to the most powerful underground organisation in Maridonia,” Eric disclosed.

Kate’s eyes widened in shock. “What?”

She had seen photos of Miles and Kane. Kane looked like a sunny, handsome young man, but he turned out to be the heir to an underground organisation? It was quite a contradiction.

In her mind, the heir to an underground organisation was a big, burly man, probably covered in tattoos, and highly arrogant. But Kyle.

It was hard for her to connect the image of a handsome, sunny young man with the heir to an underground organisation.

Eric looked at Kate, stunned, his voice tinged with helplessness. “What, are you interested in Kane?”

His voice was deep and filled with a strong allure, causing Kate to instinctively melt and respond, “A little …”
