Fated To Three, And I Broke Them All novel Chapter 351

Chapter 351: 351-Fox King Was A Serial Killer

Verity:

"Did you meet Bruno? He’ll be assisting you with a lot of the work from now on," Ragnar said as we sat in his study discussing office matters.

He looked exhausted. I could tell.

He spent the entire day searching for Gigi, then came home and sat down with his brothers to go over office work.

At night, he would make the rounds, checking the cameras and everything else.

Gigi had really gotten under their skin.

She was such a player. She knew exactly how to twist people’s views and change their minds.

"Yeah, I met him today. I didn’t know he was your cousin," I said, sitting on the edge of the couch and feeling anxious.

The last time Ragnar and I had really spoken was when he caught me stealing from him by using his pc.

I wasn’t sure why he had never brought it up again. Maybe that was simply how he was.

But one thing was certain. We both knew there was still some unresolved tension between us.

"Yeah, he used to come around a lot, but a few years ago, he just stopped. Not because of any drama or anything. He had to leave to complete his studies," Ragnar replied casually.

He wasn’t nearly as enthusiastic about Bruno as Jaguar had been, but I didn’t think too much of it. That was just Ragnar.

He reacted to almost everything the same way.

I wasn’t sure anything had ever intrigued him enough to make him change his routine for someone.

Until Gigi.

"Right," I murmured.

"Look, I’m sorry about that day. I only..."

Before I could finish, he raised a finger to stop me.

He looked restless.

"No need to talk about that. It’s over. It’s in the past," he replied.

But I could tell that wasn’t how he truly felt.

I had broken his trust. Even if Gigi had hired me, the truth was that Ragnar had expected me not to be so gullible.

After all, I worked for the Alpha King.

If I could be influenced that easily, then I wasn’t exactly proving myself trustworthy.

I was about to speak again when Ragnar finally leaned his head back and fixed his attention on me.

"Why were you looking up the Fox King on my computer?"

My heart skipped a beat.

"And it wasn’t the first time you’d done it. You were supposedly so worried about the evidence against your brother, yet the moment you got the chance to use my computer, the first thing you searched for was the Fox King. That baffles me."

Ragnar spoke calmly, but there was a storm beneath that calm.

It felt as though one wrong answer would land me in trouble again.

"I’ve just been curious," I replied, keeping my expression steady as though I wasn’t lying at all. "When I was a child, I used to hear a lot about the Fox King."

That was a lie. I had never heard of him.

"In fact, Justin used to make up stories about the Fox King coming to save people in distress. So I guess I became intrigued by it."

I paused and swallowed hard as Ragnar tilted his head.

"After everything that happened with Oliver, it kind of took me back to that dark period. I guess my stupid mind just clung to those stories, wondering what I could do to make the Fox King come and save me from all the stress. It’s stupid. I was just going through a lot. I was emotional," I mumbled.
