Chapter 323
The smoke curled around Manuel’s face. He put the light blue cigarette in his *** and spat out a ***ful
of smoke. Then, he said in a low voice, “It’s true.”
After the smoke dissipated, Serina widened her eyes and asked in confusion, “Manuel! It can’t be true!
You
have said that you like Ainsley the most, but why are you getting engaged to Irene? Ainsley is still
missing. Didn’t you say that you would protect her and make her my sister-in-law?”
As Serina spoke, tears fell from her eyes. She choked and continued, “So everything you said before
was a lie
to me! You are a **, a ***, and a womanizer!”
Serina chattered away while Manuel listened to her carefully without saying a word.
He had a self-deprecating smile on his face and thought to himself, Serina is right. I am a **. I am too
**ly to take a gamble. I am afraid that I will expose Ainsley to the slightest possibility of danger.
“You’re right.”
Serina was so angry that she laughed. “Argh! In order not to save Ainsley, you even admit that you are
a
**. Are you still my brother?”
“I’m sorry,” Manuel sighed.
“Don’t say sorry to me. The person you should apologize to should be Ainsley!” Serina sobbed and
continued, “Tell me, do you really… like Irene?”
Manuel gazed into the distance and said, “It doesn’t matter anymore. The important thing is that Irene
will become my fiancée in a month.”
“Alright! I wish you love for all seasons!” Serina angrily took the cup away, ran upstairs, and fiercely
closed
the door.
Manuel laughed bitterly, thinking, I must agree.
Only in that way will Ainsley be safe.
In the mountains, Ainsley leaned weakly against the tree trunk. The rain had not stopped, but it eased
up a
bit.
Ainsley no longer had any strength. Her lips were pale and chapped, and her forehead was hot.
The man in the rain shed hung up the phone and then looked at Ainsley seriously.
In the Easton’s house, Matteo threw the teacup on the ground in a rage. With a loud smash, the cup
shattered
on the floor and was scattered in pieces.
He was furious that so many people had searched for Ainsley for hours without finding even the
slightest
trace of her.
Emily sat on the side in frustration, not daring to breathe aloud.
She didn’t dare to say anything nonsense at this time and just asked, “it’s been a few hours. You still
haven’t
found anything?”
The rest of them lowered their heads and did not dare to breathe aloud.
Matteo hurried to pick up the phone on the ground and accidentally cut his finger. Dark red blood slid
down from his index finger.
Emily cried out in alarm and quickly found the medical kit under the table. When she wanted to
bandage. Matteo, she was ruthlessly shaken away.
“No need,” Matteo said wearily.
He thought, if Emily hadn’t done all of this, Ainsley would not have been in trouble. Anyway, this is all
Emily’s
fault.
Thinking of this, he said coldly, “If something does happen to Ainsley, I won’t let you go.”
“Matteo, I…” Emily looked at Matteo in fear, tears falling from the corners of her eyes.
Suddenly, Perla rushed over from the gate and said with a pale face, “Mr. Easton! Look at this!”
She handed a letter to Matteo. “I was at the gate just now. A car stopped, and the person in it threw
down
this letter.”
The envelope in this letter said, “Matteo opens it himself,” Matteo thought, how could anyone use such
an
outdated way of sending a letter?
