“rko, I’m shopping for groceries. What would you like for dinner?<b>” </b>
N looked up. Upon seeing who it was, her expression darkened<b>. </b>It was Jordyn.
Seeing Jordyn’s smiling face and shy demeanor, N felt a wave of disgust. It seemed like the “rko” Jordyn <b>was </b>talking to was rk.
Thinking about what those two had done until they ended up in the hospital made N feel sick. She quickly grabbed the fish and turned to leave with her cart.
Jordyn didn’t notice N and continued talking on the phone with rk, who sounded indifferent. “I won’t be
rk hung up before Jordyn could respond.
Putting down his phone, rk checked his messages <b>and </b>saw that hisst message to N from a few days ago was still unread. Irritation shed in his eyes.
His restless thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door, followed by Michael entering the room. “Mr. Sumner, we just got a <b>call </b>from Rontana. They said nothing unusual happened, except for two nights. ago. Mrs. Sumner was almost assaulted by someone from Skyray Medical. Your uncle rescued her,” Michael informed rk.
“What?!” rk’s face darkened with anger. “Why am I just hearing about this now?”
“They saw your uncle carrying Mrs. Sumner out… They didn’t dare report it until they confirmed the details, “Michael replied.
rk’s expression grew even darker, his gaze filled with menace.
Noticing his boss‘ chilling aura, Michael trembled slightly and kept his head down:
“Understood. You can go.” As Michael reached the door, rk’s icy voice stopped him. “Make sure those responsible are dealt with.”
“Mr. Sumner, your uncle already handled them, and they’re all in custody now,” Michael said.
“Then make sure they stay there. Permanently,” rk instructed.
Seeing the killing intent in rk’s eyes, Michael felt a shiver of fear and quickly nodded. “Yes, sir.”
After Michael left, rk called N, but the line was busy. He put down his phone, thought for a moment, then got up and left.
When N got home with her groceries, she found rk waiting by her door. Her expression immediately turned cold.
“N, were you out buying groceries?” he asked.
N ignored rk, treating him as if he were invisible, and moved to unlock her door, but he blocked her.
“N, are you still mad about me not letting you go on that business trip?” he asked.
N looked down, her gaze filled with disgust and impatience. “No.”
rk sighed in exasperation. “You’re clearly upset. You always ignore me when you’re angry.”
He reached for her grocery bags, but she pulled away, stepping back with a mocking expression.
“rk, you think I wouldn’t find out about your disgusting affair with Jordyn just because I was away on a business trip?” she questioned.
rk’s face paled, a guilty look shing across his features. “N, did someone say something to you?”
Clutching the grocery bags tightly, N realized her words almost revealed that she had someone. watching him.
She quickly recovered and sneered. “Say something to me? I overheard Jordyn calling you at the supermarket earlier, asking about dinner. If you <b>had </b>really cut ties with her, how could she still contact you? Don’t take me for a fool!”
