Starting with A Divorce novel (Ainsley and Cason) novel Chapter 396

Chapter 396 You Also Know the Person

Koen had an air of quiet authority. “Remove the announcement.”

What announcement?

Of course, it was the announcement about the cancellation of the engagement party with Irene released by the Gage Group.

“No,” Manuel looked at Koen firmly and said indifferently.

When Koen was serious, no one dared to refute or stare at him.

Manuel was an exception. He met Koen’s eyes and could even see Koen’s sophisticated self. He repeated, “I object.”

His tone was unquestionable, his eyes cold, and his aura was not inferior to Koen’s.

Koen looked at Manuel in confusion. He had educated Manuel for so many years and taught Manuel so many things, yet he was not to give Manuel the confidence to say “I object”.

He said meaningfully, “What’s the use of your objection?”

Manuel did not take a step back. He sighed, “Grandfather, I originally did not want to tell you. I was afraid that you would be angry. But now, I have to say it.

“What is it?” Koen frowned slightly..

The fragrance of the tea filled the air. The sunlight shone on every corner of the tea room. There were several tea trees by the window.

Time seemed to have returned to the distant past. Manuel’s voice was gentle and magnetic. “Grandfather, I don’t believe that you don’t have any doubts about my mother’s death.”

Koen pondered for a moment. “I did, but the explosion happened so suddenly. Only a car rushed out. Your father investigated the driver and his family many times, yet he didn’t find any suspicious points. Almost everyone thought it was an accident.”

„2″ Manuel asked.

“Me?” Koen laughed self-deprecatingly. “Is my idea important? It’s been so long. Why did you bring it up again?”

The heavy topic was mentioned in such a relaxing tea room, and the atmosphere was thick with tension.

Manuel ***himself and looked directly at Koen. “Because I found the truth.”

Koen seemed not surprised. “You suddenly disappeared before because you went to Ocala?”

“Yes.” Manuel looked out of the window as if staring at the former Ocala.

“What did you find out?”

“What my mother wanted to investigate was true. Her death was not an accident. Someone killed her deliberately, and you also know the person.” Manuel’s tone became colder and colder.

Koen’s expression suddenly changed. His face had rarely been so cold in recent years.

He called out a name in a low voice.

Manuel was stunned for a moment because he had forgotten Brady’s real name. “It’s him.”

Koen’s eyes were gloomy. After a moment, he reached out and threw the bottle of wine into the trash can.

“Manuel, the Wade Group owes us so much. Take it back.”

Manuel nodded and turned to leave:

Koen looked at Manuel’s back meaningfully. “This is the first time that you have gone against me. I hope it is also the last time.”

Manuel did not care. He did not even turn around and waved at Koen. “What will happen in the future remains uncertain.”

Koen did not say more. He picked up the cup again, and a few drops of tea spilled out because of his trembling fingers.

He looked at the tea drops left in his hand with some pity as if he was talking to an old friend. “You knew it, right?”
