Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1251

He looked at me, clearly unsettled.

"Do you know why I said that?" I asked Millard.

He seemed taken aback by my sudden question but quickly asked, "Why?"

"Because before I came here, Anson told me that if I encountered any trouble, I should find someone specific," I said, pausing intentionally and looking at him.

He immediately became eager, putting his leg down from the stool and asking, "Who?"

"Someone called Millard Huffman," I said firmly.

I didn't know how I dared say that, but I did. My logic seemed clear, and I came up with it on the spot.

I was taking a risk, but there was no turning back now. Hence, I continued, “He asked me to find where this person is. Oh, right. He wanted me to check if this guy is still working for Navi too.”

“You're lying!” Millard roared.

He was right. From my understanding of Anson, he wouldn’t give Millard a second chance, even if he knew Millard was working with Navi. Millard betrayed him, after all.

Plus, he had so many men working for him. I was sure he knew exactly where Millard was.

I had to find a reason to convince Millard that I was telling him the truth. That was the most important thing to do now.

"Hah! You don't understand how soft an old man can be toward his child," I said calmly, then asked him, "How long have you been away from the Huffman family?"

"12 years," Millard replied stiffly. "At the time, his daughter was only in her teens."

"Do you know why he asked me to handle this matter?" I asked him again.

"No," he said, completely puzzled.
