Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 835

She was just a pawn in their hands all along.

A pawn used against Felix and the original Rosefinch Club, or even the entire underground.

The thought chilled her heart.

Halley, however, didn't seem to sense her feelings and smiled and said, “You don't seem to like me very much. Is there some kind of misunderstanding about me?”

Queeny sneered.

“You know very well if there is misunderstanding!”

Halley raised his eyebrows.

The truth was, if it were not for his evil spirit, which he had had recently, he could have swept a lot of women off his feet with his handsome face.

Queeny, of course, was not one of them.

He said with a faint smile, “You seem to blame me for your previous accidents. You did me wrong, Queeny. I knew you were out of prison, and I just expected to see you, and it hurts me to be stigmatized like this.”

Queeny felt her anger rise and fall as she looked at him.

She lowered her eyes slightly and glanced back out of the corner of her eyes and asked, “So, what are you doing here?”

Halley chuckled. “So you can't believe I’m here to catch up with you?”

“I don't think we have anything to catch up on.” She deadpanned.

Halley paused.

He was silent for a moment and chuckled, “I know how you feel right now. Maybe you think we lied to you. But Queeny, did it ever occur to you that we didn't hurt you in any way other than by not telling you who we really were?”

He paused, his eyes darkening, “Even in the last battle, though we used you, we didn't actually kill you. You must know that a real pawn doesn't have to exist after everything is done.”

The man's tone was flat and light, but Queeny could hear a hint of cold from the flat tone.

Her eyes grew cold. “What do you want?” she asked.

Halley smiled at her.

“Come with me.”

Before she could speak, he added, “I know Felix Bissel had someone following you. There might be a lot of people out there right now, just waiting to catch me. But Queeny, you must be aware that I came here alone well aware of the danger, so there must have been something that I could rely on. So just come with me, and I promise I won't hurt you, okay?”

Queeny looked at him coldly. She looked quite calm, but her heart was churning.

She knew Halley Well. He had been the mainstay of the Rosefinch Club before.

Not only was he a strong fighter, he was also very good at strategy. He was a man of profound scheming.

If she were to make an enemy of him, she knew she was no match for him, physically or mentally.

And on top of that, there was one more thing.

The man Felix had sent to protect her had evidently been in the vicinity, and she had felt it when she went to sleep the night before.

But now she felt nothing.

It was like those people just disappeared into thin air.

She began to feel very nervous and unsure of what was going on outside. She could only afford to procrastinate with him.

“The body that was fished out of the river yesterday. Did you do it?”

She wondered if Halley had realized what she was up to, but he took his time and slowly answered, “No.”

Queeny was frowning.
