Chapter 82: The fierce arguments
Ava steadied herself, inhaling deeply to gather her thoughts and calm her racing heart. She couldn’t let him suspect that she had been investigating the accident of Dylan’s parents. If he got a hint, she was afraid he would tamper with the evidence.
She met his piercing gaze with a resolute stare, shrugging his hands off her shoulders.
"No one said anything to me," she countered coldly. "No one needs to tell me anything. I can see myself. From the day we married, have you ever gone to see my father?"
She sneered coldly. "He invited you to dinner so many times, but every time, you made up excuses to decline. And you never let me go alone, either. Out of fear of angering you, I stopped even trying to visit him myself. What else am I supposed to think about your actions?"
She cocked her head, pinning him with her razor-sharp eyes. "Isn’t it obvious you hate us? And the recent attack on the company – well, papa suspects that you are targeting us because you still blame him for that accident."
Dylan was momentarily speechless as he took in her fierce, unshakable demeanor. Her words were like shards of glass, piercing his heart. For the first time, he had truly questioned his assumptions about Thomas’s involvement in the past accident. He suspected that his vendetta against Thomas might have been misguided.
That accident wasn’t a simple case of someone killing his business partner to take over the business. It was more complex than Dylan had ever imagined. Something more sinister might hidden behind the whole incident, and Dylan was determined to find out everything.
"I was wrong to target Williams Holdings," he said, his tone softening. "It wasn’t because of hatred toward your father—I was angry when I learned you hired the goons to attack Gianna. I felt betrayed, and I acted recklessly."
He held himself back, reminding himself that he couldn’t reveal the truth yet. The less she knew, the better it was for her. He would tell her everything once he resolved the mystery.
