Valentin felt the cold aura of the man all over his body, and unconsciously shrank his neck. But when he thought that he was protecting the little girl, a sudden surge of courage rose in his heart.
He was helping the child seek justice, and scumbags like Elliot should be condemned by everyone.
Everything he was doing now was heroic!
Thinking of this, Valentin bravely looked at Elliot with a determined expression on his face.
"Yes, I asked her to do it!"
Elliot's eyes turned cold again as he spoke slowly and deliberately. "Reasons."
"Reasons?" Valentin sneered disdainfully. "Ha! Everything I'm doing is for justice. It's for those women who have been harmed by you! You deserve everything that's coming to you!"
Elliot had thought that this young man was one of his business rivals. So when he heard this answer, he couldn't help but freeze for a moment.
Women who have been harmed by him?
In Elliot's mind appeared an image of a delicate figure.
He lowered his head and murmured in a low voice, "... Rose?"
Valentin's mind raced quickly.
The two little kids had told him before that their mommy's name was Rose.
So Valentin nodded confidently. "Yes, it's her! What kind of despicable things have you done? Don't you know it yourself? And yet here you are coming to ask me!"
The air around Elliot became even more sinister than before.
What relationship did this young man have with Rose? How did he know about their past? What did Rose say...?
"Why do you take revenge on her behalf?"
Valentin hesitated for a moment before blurting out, "Because... because I like her!"
When Elliot heard these words, the aura around him became even more intimidating than before. He stared at the young man in front of him with darkened eyes; indeed, Valentin looked like someone whom Rose would find attractive...
Realizing this fact made Elliot feel extremely unhappy!
He glared at Valentin menacingly and asked in an icy tone, "What is your relationship with her?"
