Chapter 191 (2): Dear Father-in-law
“The investigation team will be accompanied by clerks from the Ministry of Magic. I’ll make the arrangement for you. Prepare to depart in two days. You have to hurry, or you won’t catch anyone,” Auston warned, then he kicked Wayne out.
He was such an eyesore! Auston didn’t understand why his wife and daughter would be drawn to a bastard like him. What did they even see in him? And those bastards outside the family. Why did they insist that Wayne was Auston’s illegitimate son when the evidence said otherwise?
“Megan, bring Monica to me.” Auston grew angrier the more he thought about it, so he made the order to Megan through the soundproofing barrier, deciding to vent his anger by petting the black cat.
Wayne shrugged, rising and walking out of the study. The moment he opened the door, he saw Megan.
What’s the point of the soundproofing barrier? He thought with a silent huff. But then he turned around and saw Veronica, which explained why Megan had set up the barrier.
Veronica’s eyes were glinting with murderous intent. She stiffly curled her finger at Wayne, demanding he follow her to have a private conversation.
Wayne put his medal back on. Instead of giving a response, he looked over her shoulder in surprise. “Master, why are you so angry? Are you here for Auston?”
Veronica loosened her fists and turned around with feigned meekness, excitedly waiting for her father to become a human cannonball from a VIP seat. Although she didn’t know what had happened, she was in a foul mood and would like to enjoy some domestic violence.
When she looked over her shoulder, though, she was surprised to see the empty corridor, and Wayne was gone when she turned back.
“Bastard, stop right there!”
She growled furiously, charging toward the far end of the corridor and pursuing Wayne by the smell of scum in the air.
