No Renewal My Contract Husband (Nella and Alfred) novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162 No Way Out

When Alfred said this, his posture looked lazy and relaxed.

His right hand rested loosely on the armrest.

Nella was seated right beside him.

The reception room was crowded, with every chair packed tightly together.

As Alfred leaned on the armrest, his palm brushed against Nella’s left hand, which had also been resting there.

It looked accidental, yet somehow deliberate.

Nella’s brows knit slightly. Without drawing attention, she withdrew her left hand from the armrest.

Alfred seemed to notice. He turned his head and glanced at Nella’s calm profile.

That look carried an unclear meaning.

When Zoey heard that Alfred had uncovered everything, the color drained from her face again.

Especially when she saw the two bodyguards he brought, still holding onto Chandler and his son.

“Alfred…”

She spoke softly, her voice clearly trembling.

The look Alfred gave Zoey no longer held any of the warmth or indulgence from before.

Zoey no longer felt that sense of security she once had around him.

Instead, a deep regret crept into her heart.

Not regret over framing Nella, but regret that her plan hadn’t been airtight enough.

She had not only given Nella a chance to turn things around, but also made Alfred see her as scheming and

rotten.

“Zoey Mack, do you want to answer your mother’s question yourself, or should I answer it for you?”

Hearing her full name made all three Macks feel their hearts jolt.

They knew Alfred was truly furious this time.

“Alfred, w-why are you asking me that? I don’t know why that caregiver would suddenly want to harm

Patrick either.”

Zoey still tried to struggle to the very end.

No. I absolutely can’t admit it in front of Alfred!

Chapter 162 No Way Out

Chandler hasn’t received the rest of the money yet. He won’t betray me so easily.

“Hmph! Still won’t admit it, huh?”

Caleb, who had been suppressing his anger, let out a cold snort.

Alfred shifted his posture. His right arm, which had been resting on the armrest, naturally draped over the back of Nella’s chair.

There was no physical contact, but from another angle, it looked as if Alfred had one arm around Nella’s shoulders.

It appeared intimate.

Nella sensed it and frowned more deeply.

But everyone was already seated close together.

Standing up to change seats now would look too sudden and obvious.

She could only grit her teeth and endure it.

Alfred then spoke slowly, “These pieces of evidence were all uncovered by people under me. Following your logic, Mrs. Mack, are you saying I instructed Martin to swap Patrick’s medication and kill him?”

“N-no, of course not. How could I think that?”

Eileen and Zoey had originally wanted to pin Martin’s actions on Nella.

But they never imagined that Alfred was the one who uncovered the evidence.

With that option gone, Zoey panicked even more.

Because she realized that lately, Alfred had kept making things difficult for her over Nella, humiliating her again and again.

He was no longer the Alfred who let her demand anything she wanted and indulged her without limits.

Norris reacted the fastest. Seeing how badly things were turning against his family, he quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
