Chapter 1130 Horace Steps In
Wanda finally snapped back to her senses and began to mount her defense. “Master Kieran, this is all a big misunderstanding. I have nothing to do with all these—”
Kieran did not wait for her to finish before he interrupted, “It’s all a misunderstanding? You have nothing to do with it? Think over your next words carefully because I can back up everything I’ve said.”
His words were like pairs of cold stilettos that stabbed into his heart while Wanda’s eyes widened in disbelief. She thought, Where did he get the proof? I had painstakingly covered my tracks, though!
For a moment, she considered whether or not he was trying to trick her.
However, Kieran drawled, “Miss Muller, are you perhaps thinking I’m trying to trick you?” His voice dripped with condescension.
“That’s not what I’m thinking.” Wanda shook her head.
Nobody else in the room believed her.
Remus’ face was as dark as a starless night.
Although he had never liked Tessa much, he had never wanted to see her hurt.
Stefania and her husband stared at Wanda with disdain.
The calmest person in the room was Nicholas and that was because he had learned the truth beforehand.
Brushing aside Wanda’s half-hearted denial, Kieran continued, “Only you know what you’re thinking. I called you today because I wanted to say something to you.”
“And what would that be, Master Kieran?”
Wanda clenched both fists tightly as she struggled to stay calm.
He remained courteous as he confessed, “I’ll be frank; there’s nothing wrong with wanting to be with the person you desire. What is wrong is how you’ve bent the rules. In doing so, you’ve disgraced yourself. Besides, my brother adores my sister-in-law. Do you think you can replace her if she disappears? Well, you’re wrong. You’re very wrong.”
Confronted by Kieran’s innermost thoughts, Wanda felt ashamed. It was like she had been stripped naked in front of the whole room.
However, her ordeal wasn’t over yet.
