Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back (Leanne Castillo) novel Chapter 432

The chauffeur promptly exited the vehicle, retreating to a spot some twenty yards away for privacy.

Nestled in a secluded area surrounded by verdant hills and lush trees, where no car dared to traverse its private roads, the Richardson Manor with its century-old history stood proudly. Inside the car, Maddox and Curtis, their conversation encapsulated within the vehicle’s confined space.

Maddox was the picture of calm, his voice betraying no emotion, “You’ve got quite the reach these days, stretching all the way into my affairs.”

Curtis, with a cool gaze, shot back, “You’re the master of deception, leaving no trace behind.”

"What a son I've raised," Maddox commented, "doubting me now."

“If you wish to avoid suspicion, that’s possible.” Curtis went straight to the point, “What really happened to Leanne’s family that led to their kidnapping?”

Ever since Leanne inquired about her father at VectorVista, Maddox had anticipated a day when this conversation would arise.

The sudden return of Hanley to the country had indeed stirred the calm seas.

“Why dig into it?”

“If things were fine, I wouldn’t be here, wasting my days plotting against you,” Curtis retorted, “I need the truth.”

Maddox didn’t attempt to deceive him with lies. After all, Curtis was too sharp for that. Yet, he wasn’t about to unveil the whole truth either.

“Drop it,” Maddox said, “Curtis, some things are better off not knowing for your own good.”

“Just focus on getting along with Anne. Your mother mentioned you two are planning a honeymoon by the end of the month. You’ve been neglecting her these past years. Take this opportunity to treat her to a relaxing getaway.”

Curtis felt his heart sink, as though it were being caged.
