The Scorned Heiress's Hidden Empire (by Jade Quinn) novel Chapter 482

Chapter 482

At the familiar name, the man’s expression went briefly distant.

He frowned, struggling to keep his emotions under control.

Audrey had never liked seeing him this way.

Sasha watched him, and it felt as if steel needles were stabbing into her heart, one after another. The pain made her chest tighten.

Unable to hold herself back, she said bitterly, “Audrey is dead. Why won’t you just forget her?”

“She’s not dead.”

The middle-aged man pressed his pale lips together, the corners of his eyes reddening.

It was as if he were clinging to something. He repeated, “She’s not dead.”

He turned away and didn’t notice Sasha’s gaze slowly filling with resentment.

Her hand was still braced against the wall, fingers curling so tightly that her nails dug into her palm.

Of course she knew Audrey wasn’t dead.

She even knew exactly where Audrey was.

In the car, Dominic felt his scalp prickle and a chill run down his spine when he heard Chris say that Winter’s parents might still be alive.

“You’re saying they’re still alive? How is that possible? Warren Scott and Audrey Lambert-weren’t they driven to their deaths because of you…”

He stopped mid-sentence, then lowered his voice.

“Are you serious? Don’t scare me like that.”

Even in broad daylight, the topic still sent a chill down his spine.

“Could you be wrong? This is too absurd. How could that even be possible? You must have made a mistake, right?”

The more Dominic spoke, the quieter he became.

Chris wasn’t the kind of man who said things without reason, and he would never joke about something like this.

Chris’s face showed no emotion. Only his dark eyes looked like a bottomless abyss.

He turned his head and looked out the car window at the busy street beyond the glass.

“I’m not wrong.”

In that instant, Dominic understood why Chris was acting this way.

If Chris was saying that, then he must have found some kind of lead.
