Chapter 380

Chapter 380 That Scar Irene let out a long breath and said nervously, “Grandpa, Manuel was angry because of what happened last time, and he didn’t want to see me, but I will take care of it.”

Brady gave her a meaningful look and said, “OK, I believe in you.”

After sending Brady to the car, Irene went back to the office and made a mysterious phone call.

After she hung up the phone, a proud smile appeared on her face, as if she had been immersed in the joy of victory.

In the Easton Group.

Ainsley hit Matteo hard on the head.

Matteo grimaced in pain. “Did you take advantage of this opportunity to take revenge? I haven’t provoked you recently, right?”

Ainsley shrugged with an innocent expression. “Didn’t you say that you felt out of luck recently?

Just take my hit as your disaster.”

Matteo rolled his eyes at her and said, “Don’t talk nonsense. I will suffer from a concussion if you hit me harder.”

Ainsley was amused and cleared her throat. “Don’t be so talkative. The island is doing well, and it won a good reputation after the opening.”

Matteo restored his seriousness and said, “Don’t worry. This is one of the biggest projects in our company currently. I will definitely keep an eye on it all the time. Everything will be fine.”

“That’s good.” Ainsley nodded.

“Speaking of which, did you go to other places on the island for fun?” Matteo suddenly asked.

Ainsley said, “No, I stayed in the counseling center and didn’t have time for fun.”

Matteo waved his hand and said, “You can’t keep staying there. You have to balance your work and life. Besides, you have hired so many psychological counselors. Do you still need to take charge?

Don’t use work as an excuse.”

Ainsley touched her nose and felt guilty, but she still said, “You know my personality. I’m not very interested in any vacation island...”

Matteo interrupted her, “Ainsley, don’t forget that the Easton Group is your company. I’m just helping you manage it. You can’t just leave it alone.”

Ainsley felt speechless. “Don’t threaten me with this. You can’t force me to take care of the business.”

Matteo blinked his eyes and suddenly took out a membership invitation from the drawer. “So don’t refuse. Go and have fun for a few days. You can enjoy every facility and tell me what I need to improve.”

“You came prepared.” Ainsley rolled her eyes at him.

Matteo raised his eyebrows, “You’re welcome.”

Ainsley was speechless at his shamelessness.

At night, she returned home and looked at Glenn’s notes and the recordings, which were given to her by her lawyer.

According to the lawyer, the evidence was not enough to send Irene to prison. If necessary, she could ask Kaliyah to come out of court to testify.

But Ainsley knew that Kaliyah would not help her.

In a room at Pearl Hotel, Manuel and a man sat opposite each other. Roman brought in two dishes.

“Mr. Gage, may I know why you are looking for me?” Matteo picked up the coffee cup in front of him and took a sip.

When he saw the email from Manuel, he was very puzzled and wondered why Manuel wanted to see him.

However, no matter how unwilling he was to meet Manuel, when Matteo saw the name “Irene’ in the email, he was curious about what Manuel wanted.

“Mr. Easton, I think I have made it very clear in the email. Now we don’t know what will happen. next. Cooperating with me will be your most rational choice,” Manuel said seriously.

Matteo burst into laughter. “If it was a few years ago, I might have believed what you said, but it is different now. Manuel, do you remember what you said to me before? Did you keep your promise?

You didn’t, whether it was three years ago or now.”

When he heard Matteo mention what happened three years ago, Manuel looked grave and guilty.

No one knew better than them what had happened, and Manuel did not even want to recall the tragic scene.

“We can’t dwell in the past,” Manuel said.

Even he himself couldn’t believe what he was saying.

Matteo said mockingly, “Listen to yourself, how *****you are. Ainsley is still trapped in the past. Do you dare to face it? Do you dare to uncover the truth?”

After a person was injured, the bleeding wound would slowly be scabs. When the scab was hardened, one would feel pain if he or she chose to remove it. If it left a deep scar on the skin, then there would be no chance to remove it.

People would choose to cover the scar with clothes or persuade themselves to forget this scar, but the scar would still be left on the skin and couldn’t be removed.

“Sorry.” Manuel, who had always been cold, lowered his dignity and apologized. He couldn’t be strong in the face of the past.

The scar that he did not dare to face would become his weakness in this life.

“Yes, it is my fault, but before I go to atone for my sins, we can cooperate.”

Cooperate?

Matteo thought of the cooperation that Manuel mentioned in the email, which was to take down the Wade Group. “Why did you want to do this?”

“I didn’t decide it on a whim. After that incident, there was an unbreakable gap between me and the Wade family. After that, something else happened. In short, we have to take down the Wade Group.”

Hundreds of people were buried at the foot of Ocala. Their flesh and blood had already merged with Ocala, turning into rocks and nutrients for the land.

They were all waiting for an explanation so that they could let go of the past.

“The Wade Group was one of the oldest families in Seattle. Its power was deeply rooted, and it would not be easy to overthrow them.”

The people of Seattle always said that the Gage family was the most powerful. But that was because the Wade family kept a low profile and never fought for this reputation.

Starting with A Divorce novel (Ainsley and Cason)

Chapter 379 Love’s Change of Heart Chapter 872 Matteo asked in confusion, “What should we do?”

“The Wade family has a deep foundation, but it can’t be stronger than two families working together. Irene is very scheming, but the person who is the most difficult to deal with is not her, but...

“Brady.”

They said in unison. They looked at each other, and Matteo said, “You can’t deal with an old fox like Brady casually.”

Manuel smiled and asked, “So, you are willing to cooperate with me?”

“Don’t be happy too early. I didn’t do it for you. You should know who I did it for. Irene has hurt. someone she shouldn’t have. I won’t let her go,”

Matteo said coldly.

Manuel took out a leather file from his bag and pushed it to him. “You can take a look at this when you get back.”

“You are well prepared.”

“I have to.” Manuel stood up.

A new batch of guests came to Pine Mist Island, and Ainsley was one of them.
