Chapter 288 The Wife Behaves Strangely Around Us

• “Let go of Lyana.” Shawn looked at Nicole and said coldly, “I lost this round. You let her go; I promise not to harm you, and you can just leave.” Nicole looked at the eagerness in his eyes, in contrast to the pretense of composure on his face, and sneered. “Oh, really?” She looked at the man who was coming from the other side with his back to the light. He was quick, almost completely losing the usual calm composure, but also seemed to be completely welcome in her eyes. “But you’re too late.”
• Meanwhile, Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Mr. Rogers Sr. They were flattered at first when they were invited to the Rogers Mansion, but when he excused himself for the third time and was refused, everyone realized that something was wrong. “Are we invited to be guests here? This is obviously a trap!’ Mr. Riddle Sr.’s face changed subtly, and he said again, “I think we have been bothering you for long enough and need to make a move, Christo.” He got up and wanted to leave, but Mr. Rogers Sr. did not look at him but took a sip of tea. “Sit back down, Benjamin,” Mr. Rogers Sr. said flatly. Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at him with a somewhat grave face. “What do you mean by that?”
• Daniel and Gloria looked to Mr. Rogers Sr.; they might not know what was going on, but it was clear that something was not quite normal. Damien and Miley were sitting alongside each other. Miley was unaware of what was happening. Instead, she was delighted to be invited to the Rogers Mansion again and echoed Mr. Rogers Sr.’s words. “Yeah, Dad. Why don’t you stay a little longer?” Damien shot a glare at his wife. He felt unease at seeing Mr. Rogers Sr.’s half-smile. At first, he was still thinking of getting along with Mr. Rogers Sr., but now that thought has vanished. He was now sitting there, fidgeting with fear in his eyes. ‘What’s happening exactly? Did we offend Mr. Rogers Sr. or something? Why does he want us to be subject to this torment in silence?’ Dexter looked on and took a deep breath, then looked at Emma, who sat quietly beside him. Emma returned a reassuring look.
