Chapter 219 (2): Darkness Knight x Death Knight
Both Auston and Wayne were willing to give the other one more chances. Wayne called out to the butler standing outside the barrier, “Megan, fetch us pen and paper from the study.”
Under Auston’s withering gaze, Megan quickly walked away. Why are you leaving? Is this the time for you to leave?
“Hahaha—”
Once Megan was out of earshot, Wayne smirked in satisfaction. “I knew it. The soundproofing barrier can’t stop Megan from hearing. It never does. You’re wary of Master. Megan knows your greatest secret, but not Master.”
Auston froze, clutching his silver coin.
Wayne chuckled. “Don’t worry. I’m here to join the family rather than tear it apart. I’m not going to say anything to Master. In exchange, you should stop badmouthing me before Veronica.”
Auston smothered a sigh of relief and said through clenched teeth, “You’ve badmouthed me plenty today!”
“Didn’t you do the same?”
“...”
“Besides, I’ve only ever spoken the truth. You are too close to Megan. Unless you’ve slept with her, you would never trust her so unconditionally. Poor Master, kept in the dark even now!” Wayne looked furious—no, envious.
Auston only smiled like he had won at life.
Wayne couldn’t figure out anything from the Old Two-Face’s expression, but he had to wipe that smug smile off that smug face. He huffed and said, “I’ll keep looking into your affairs. Don’t let me find any evidence, or I’ll surely tell Master.”
