Chapter 218: She Had Finally Put An End To Brooke’s Schemes
As Brooke tried to exit the office, the door to swung open, revealing Kim, whose usual timid demeanor seemed amplified in the tense atmosphere looming behind him was Joel, his huge body effectively blocking the doorway. Brooke, despite the blood draining from her face, attempted a nonchalant stance, crossing her arms and fixing Lyse with a challenging glare. Kim, however, couldn’t meet Brooke’s gaze. He fidgeted nervously, his eyes darting around the room, avoiding any direct contact.
"What is the meaning of this?" Brooke demanded shrilly as she glared at Lyse then she flipped her hair and turned to leave.
However, Joel refused to leave the doorway, forcing Brooke to remain in the office.
"Why do you want to leave so quickly?" Lyse asked, her voice amused. "The main event is yet to begin."
"Yes, Kim. I want you to repeat what you told me earlier. In front of Ms. Brooke." She added.
Kim’s face paled. He shifted uncomfortably, his eyes flicking towards Brooke, who was now staring at him with a look that could curdle milk. The glare was a clear warning, a silent threat that hung heavy in the air. Kim swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing nervously.
"I... I don’t know what you’re talking about, Ms. Lyse," he stammered, his voice trembling slightly.
Lyse’s lips curled into a thin, humorless smile. "Don’t play coy, Kim," she said, her voice turning cold. "I know you know what I’m talking about. Joel here brought you to me, and you told me something... rather interesting."
Kim remained silent, his gaze fixed on the floor. He was caught between a rock and a hard place, torn between his fear of Brooke and his fear of Lyse.
