Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 396 You Also Know the Person

Koen had an air of quiet authority. “Remove the announcement.”

What announcement?

Of course, it was the announcement about the cancellation of the engagement party with Irene released

by the Gage Group.

“No,” Manuel looked at Koen firmly and said indifferently.

When Koen was serious, no one dared to refute or stare at him.

Manuel was an exception. He met Koen’s eyes and could even see Koen’s sophisticated self. He

repeated, “I object.”

His tone was unquestionable, his eyes cold, and his aura was not inferior to Koen’s.

Koen looked at Manuel in confusion. He had educated Manuel for so many years and taught Manuel so

many things, yet he was not to give Manuel the confidence to say “I object”.

He said meaningfully, “What’s the use of your objection?”

Manuel did not take a step back. He sighed, “Grandfather, I originally did not want to tell you. I was afraid

that you would be angry. But now, I have to say it.

“What is it?” Koen frowned slightly..

The fragrance of the tea filled the air. The sunlight shone on every corner of the tea room. There were

several tea trees by the window.

Time seemed to have returned to the distant past. Manuel’s voice was gentle and magnetic.

“Grandfather, I don’t believe that you don’t have any doubts about my mother’s death.”

Koen pondered for a moment. “I did, but the explosion happened so suddenly. Only a car rushed out.

Your father investigated the driver and his family many times, yet he didn’t find any suspicious points.

Almost everyone thought it was an accident.”

„2″ Manuel asked.

“Me?” Koen laughed self-deprecatingly. “Is my idea important? It’s been so long. Why did you bring it up

again?”

The heavy topic was mentioned in such a relaxing tea room, and the atmosphere was thick with tension.

Manuel ***himself and looked directly at Koen. “Because I found the truth.”

Koen seemed not surprised. “You suddenly disappeared before because you went to Ocala?”

“Yes.” Manuel looked out of the window as if staring at the former Ocala.

“What did you find out?”

“What my mother wanted to investigate was true. Her death was not an accident. Someone killed her

deliberately, and you also know the person.” Manuel’s tone became colder and colder.

Koen’s expression suddenly changed. His face had rarely been so cold in recent years.

He called out a name in a low voice.

Manuel was stunned for a moment because he had forgotten Brady’s real name. “It’s him.”

Koen’s eyes were gloomy. After a moment, he reached out and threw the bottle of wine into the trash

can.

“Manuel, the Wade Group owes us so much. Take it back.”

Manuel nodded and turned to leave:

Koen looked at Manuel’s back meaningfully. “This is the first time that you have gone against me. I hope

it is also the last time.”

Manuel did not care. He did not even turn around and waved at Koen. “What will happen in the future

remains uncertain.”

Koen did not say more. He picked up the cup again, and a few drops of tea spilled out because of his

trembling fingers.

He looked at the tea drops left in his hand with some pity as if he was talking to an old friend. “You knew

it, right?”

There was no response. The entire tea room was warmed by the sunlight. Koen’s back was bent, looking

a bit lonely.

Ainsley just finished several students’ counseling. She had temporarily closed her business, so she did

not have to go to PineMist Island Resort Hotel for the next few days.

It was almost time to get off work. She packed up her things and was ready to go home. Serina was still

waiting for her at home.

Just as she walked out of the office, she saw Manuel wave at her ostentatiously.

Classes were over. The girls blushed when they saw Manuel. They wanted to ask for his phone number

but saw him wave at Ainsley.

Most of the girls understood what Manuel meant. Some of them were envious of

Ainsley, and some were jealous.

Ainsley wanted to pretend not to know Manuel and walk past him, but she was stopped by him. “Aisy?”

Ainsley walked faster and faster, and Manuel chased after her. Finally, he ran in front of Ainsley. “Why

are you running?”

“Mr. Gage, what can I do for you?” Ainsley took a deep breath.

Manuel said gently, “I want to ask you about Serina’s condition.”

“After I saw Serina that day, I began to treat her. Now, I am still pacifying her. It will take some time.

There is one important thing.” Ainsley’s eyes were sharp.

“What?” Manuel felt something unusual.

Ainsley stared at him. “The trauma that Serina had suffered before has not been completely eliminated.

After that, she fell ill several times. Whether it was because of an accident or other inducements, she

could not be stimulated again. She is now highly -sensitive and tense, just like a string.”

Looking at her serious expression, Manuel realized the seriousness of the matter. “I know. It won’t

happen again.”

Ainsley nodded. “Then I will go back.”

Manuel hesitated for a moment. Only when Ainsley turned to leave did he suddenly call out her name.

“Huh?” Ainsley turned around in confusion.

Manuel caught up to her. “I have canceled the engagement banquet.”

Ainsley stood still and said without surprise, “The people in the entire Seattle should know about it.”

Manuel did not know what to say. When he saw Ainsley’s cold face, he lost confidence.

There was no joy but only indifference in her eyes.

Manuel began to think about whether he had made a mistake from the beginning.

Even if he canceled the engagement banquet that should not have existed, those misunderstandings

could not be erased.

“Mr. Gage, do you have anything else to say? I have to go home.” Ainsley lowered her head.

Manuel frowned slightly and pulled her forward.

“Are you crazy? Manuel! Let go of me! You madman!”

Manuel pulled Ainsley to the parking lot and pressed her against the car door. Ainsley was struggling

violently as if she had guessed what he was going to do. “Let go of me!

You’re crazy, Manuel!”

Manuel’s eyes were bloodshot. He seemed to have lost his mind. He held Ainsley’s arm with one hand

and her head with the other.

He kissed her fiercely.

Ainsley struggled with all her might, but her arm was firmly grabbed by him.

Manuel kept kissing her, gasping. Ainsley hardened her heart and bit his lips fiercely.

The taste of blood filled Manuel’s ***. It stained her scent.

Manuel groaned in pain and took a step back subconsciously. He let go of her.
