Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game

Chapter 784 - 404 Oh, I see_2

Joshua Hughes pushed her hand away and said indifferently, "You just need to give birth to your child in peace, don’t think about anything else."

If Evelyn Yates were smart enough, she would hear what Joshua Hughes was saying: your child, not our child.

But a woman blinded by love sees and hears nothing.

"Do you have any feelings for me at all, Joshua?" Evelyn Yates asked, nearly in despair.

"No." Joshua Hughes’s answer was cruel and direct. Initially, he wanted to play along, had some interest.

But since Avery Jane left, everything around him seemed to lose its color, his eyes seemed blinded, seeing everything as gray.

Right now, nothing matters; if this repulsive woman wants to give birth, let her, if not, she should just leave; he has no interest in playing with her now.

But where exactly has Avery Jane gone into hiding?

These past few days, he secretly sent people to search every place she might be hiding, but they found nothing.

His heart felt like it was being burned repeatedly on a scorching iron, every second was torment.

Evelyn Yates’s breathing was rapid, her chest heaving: "Why? Why do you treat me like this, why don’t you leave me any chance, why are you so cruel to me?"

Tears finally fell, one after another, uncontrollably.

"Your memory really is poor, I told you, shedding tears in front of someone who doesn’t care about you makes them worthless, and I don’t want to remind you again how you got this child, now get out immediately."

His cold eyes looked at Evelyn Yates’s tear-streaked face, without a trace of pity.

Instead, it was Avery Jane; when she cried, he wanted to bully her so her tears would flow more fiercely, but also wanted to lovingly kiss away her tears, so she wouldn’t shed another drop.

He was already going crazy; he didn’t even know why he felt this way.

Alexander King returned to the King Family, and it was no different, there had been no peace.

The household servants stood neatly in the hall as Young Master King said something major had happened in the family, so he called everyone to gather, each privately exchanging glances, not knowing what it was about.

"I lost a pair of cufflinks, admit who took them, and there’ll be no trouble; otherwise, I’ll call the police."

Alexander King sat on the sofa, looking at the row of standing servants, his gaze gradually fell on the elderly woman named Nanny Johnson, actually, everything was pretty much obvious, but he still wanted to confirm it personally.

Everyone looked at each other, how could it be?

They had worked here for many years as servants.

In the King Family, even the selection of servants was very particular, and the owners paid them well enough, so it was unlikely anyone would steal, besides, the item was small and not worth much, right? If stealing, wouldn’t they take the many jewels on the mistress’s dressing table? Every head shook, no one confessed.

"Very well, then I’ll provide evidence and let the police take them away."

Alexander King sipped his tea with a smile; she certainly wouldn’t admit since she indeed didn’t steal it.

"Nanny Johnson, explain why there were suddenly ten thousand dollars in your account recently for no reason?"

One moment he was casually asking, the next his eyes suddenly turned sinister.

In the King Family over the years, it was rare to see the Young Master lose his temper; it could be said he’d never done so.

It seemed Nanny Johnson must have stolen something the Young Master liked, serves her right.

Nanny Johnson was so scared her legs almost gave way; how could her luck be so bad?

She was just doing a task for Miss Willow, earning a bit of hardship money, but now she became a scapegoat?

This was so unjust; even with ten times the courage, she wouldn’t dare steal from the Young Master.

Which cursed person stole it, leaving her to take the blame?

"Young Master, it wasn’t me, really it wasn’t. I never go into the Young Master’s room; I only clean for the Old Madam."

Nanny Johnson trembled as she spoke, thinking the ten thousand had indeed brought trouble.

"Then explain how you got those ten thousand dollars."

Alexander King waved his hand, signaling the other servants, who had nothing to do with it, to leave.

Leaving only Nanny Johnson standing there, trembling.

"A relative of mine gave it for my son’s tuition." Nanny Johnson steeled herself, after all, she hadn’t taken any cufflinks, so she wasn’t afraid.

"Then I have no choice, I’ll have to let the police question you, your relative, and your son will have to testify, and even your son’s school will be investigated. If there’s any blemish, or if he helped you in any way, it will be harder to deal with."

Alexander King spoke lightly, fiddling with his phone, as if about to make a call, instantly frightening Nanny Johnson nearly to death, how could her greed implicate her son?

At this thought, Nanny Johnson collapsed to the floor, shivering: "Young Master, it really wasn’t me, I just..."

"As long as you explain the origin of those ten thousand dollars clearly, then it’s none of your concern." Alexander King’s expression remained the same; he couldn’t believe his flawless reputation was tarnished by these two women.

"Still not saying?" An ominous chill in the air, Alexander King threw the teacup to the ground, the shattering sound nearly causing Nanny Johnson to faint.

Alexander King finally put on a stern face, picking up the phone.

"Young Master, don’t call, I’ll talk, I’ll talk."

Nanny Johnson cried out in fear: "It was Miss Willow who found me, she asked me to take a hair strand and put it on the young master’s clothes, that ten thousand was from Miss Willow, she said the Young Master didn’t like the Young Madam anyway, and they didn’t live together, she said later I could be the King Family’s manager and she would give me a raise. Young Master, I was just confused, Young Master, I’ll return the ten thousand, I don’t want it, I don’t want it..."

Frightened by Alexander King’s intimidation, Nanny Johnson sat on the floor and confessed everything.

So that’s how it was?
