The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169 Making Things Clear

Startled, Raylee frantically explained, “Mr. Victor, don’t listen to his nonsense. I have nothing to do with him, and besides, he’s already engaged.”

Victor nodded, his face devoid of emotion.

“I know that this young man is engaged, and 1 am also aware that he was once your fiancé too. It’s only natural for old feelings to be rekindled considering you grew up together and were previously engaged. I know everything I need to know. You’re Jerry’s fiancee; do you really think I wouldn’t look into your background?”

Raylee eagerly explained. “Mr. Victor, please don’t misunderstand. There’s no chance of any old flame being rekindled. between him and me. During the time I was with Jeremiah, I consistently kept my distance from Casimir. You have to believe

me.”

“That had better be the case. You two better watch yourselves, I don’t want my son to be dead and still end up being made a fool. Take care, I won’t see you out.”

After issuing a warning. Victor turned around and retreated to his room.

Raylee clenched her fists, unsure if Victor blamed her for what happened.

She cast a disgruntled glance at Casimir. Unable to be bothered with him, she left without another word.

“I’ll take you back to Goodridge–Manor.” Casimir followed her all the way.

“Can you just stay away from me? You threatened Mr. Victor just now. Do you have a death wish? It’s one thing if you get yourself killed, but don’t drag me into it!” Raylee said, clearly annoyed.

“We’ve done nothing wrong, so why should we be afraid? Casimir asked, furrowing his brow.

“We’ve done nothing wrong? Do you really think Mr. Victor would believe that? You’re engaged to someone else, so stay away from me! Don’t bring me any unnecessary trouble!”

“I was protecting you, and yet you think I’m causing you unnecessary trouble?”

Having his goodwill go unappreciated weighed down Casimir’s heart.

“I don’t need such protection. If you truly want to protect me, keep your distance! I risked my life to rescue you in Musmeynia, and this is how you treat me?”

Sullenly, Casimir stood there, his enthusiasm washed away, leaving him with nothing but a sense of helplessness.

With a resolute demeanor, Raylee glared at him.

You came to my rescue in Musmeynia, for which I am grateful. But it has nothing to do with love. My fiancé just passed away, so I have no desire to get involved with any other man! Casimir, there’s no chance for us anymore. If you still consider yourself a man, don’t do things that embarrass yourself. Go back to your life and do what you need to do. Settle down and start a family with your fiancée, and stop bothering

Somewhere along the line, Casimir had clung to her so relentlessly that she just couldn’t shake him off.

If she hadn’t made her stance clear, it would only lead to endless problems.

“I love you, and I want to be with you. I only want to marry you and have children with you. This has never been something

Casimir’s words nearly gave Raylee a heart attack.

She was so upset that she turned around and stormed off.

This is Lorimer Estate. Isn’t he worried that someone might hear him?

She had barely saved her own life and didn’t want to lose it again just because of Casimir.

Reaching her limit, Raylee warned. “If you keep pestering me, I’m going to spill the beans about Bradley

Bradley had shot Jeremiah, which was the direct cause of his death.

Finished

Even if Bradley was motivated by revenge and his reason was somewhat understandable, it was an undeniable fact that he was a bodyguard sent by Casimir.

If word of this matter reached the Lorimer family. Casimir would inevitably be in a while lot of trouble.

“Bradley? What did he do?” Casimir asked, looking utterly clueless.

“He was your bodyguard, wasn’t he? So, do you know the real reason behind Jeremiah’s death:” Raylee asked in a cold voice.

With a look of confusion, Casimir explained. “I have a vague idea of who he is, reputed to be an exceptional veteran However, he was Layla’s bodyguard, not someone I had sent.”
