Chapter 1593 True Nature
“Daddy, I think this is fine. Let’s follow this arrangement for now. Everyone will die if we continue this stalemate. No one will get the upper hand,” Sally coerced.
Steven considered her words for a while. “All right. Don’t you dare to torture Skyler. Else, I’ll bring all of you down with me.”
“Rest assured. We won’t, I promise you. We’ll treat him like family.” Davin glanced at Skyler. I can promise Steven anything he asks as long as Skyler stays.
Skyler cast a worried glance at Sally, but he didn’t object any further since Steven had made a decision. He simply hung his head resignedly, hoping that the Seets would do as they had promised.
Before Steven leave, he cast a glance at Riley.
“I’ll send someone to run a background check on Riley. If the incident truly was done by him and not related to you at all, then I’ll apologize to you.”
“Apologize? I won’t accept it. You have to pay the price. Consider this a lesson to you,” Evan said determinedly.
Steven was baffled by his determination. “Then, let’s talk again once the truth is out.”
“Sure.”
Evan was unwilling to let Steven go without a lesson despite his agreement. He would ensure Steven was responsible for his actions so the latter could remember it well. Else, the Seets will lose dignity.
Hearing both had agreed to a ceasefire, Sally immediately advised, “Daddy, go back. I’ll be here at Imperial Garden with Skyler. Leave Riley here too. I’m worried something bad will happen again if he follows you back since many of your bodyguards are his men.”
“Okay, watch him closely then. Don’t let him get away.”
“Mr. Maupay, don’t you worry about this. Skyler has been in our hands for so many days and still is. It implies our bodyguards are excellent at their jobs. So there’s no need to worry.”
“Skyler is nowhere close to Riley.”
“Mr. Maupay, I have worked for you for so many years, and this is not the result I expect. You’re truly heartless.”
“Just a while ago, you were so eager to activate the chip. You didn’t consider yourself heartless when you wanted me and Skyler to bring them down with us then?
“Riley, the background check is to give you justice.”
Justice?
F**k that!
“Steven, you have never trusted me completely. You don’t want to die with the lot of them. You’re afraid of death too as you care for your life…
“Is everything an act all these years? Your willingness to sacrifice everything for revenge. You’re scared of death. You’re nothing but a coward!”
“Well, take a look at this fellow here. He wants all of us dead, but we are not, so he’s mad about it. His true nature has finally revealed itself.”
“Steven, listen carefully. He had hoped for your death all this while.”
Steven glanced at Riley with a hostile expression.
“Shut up, Davin! I knew nothing good would come out of that dirty mouth of yours. I should’ve cut your tongue off when I had the chance!” Riley yelled at Davin furiously.
Davin taunted, “You got angry at a few honest words from me? You truly have no capacity for tolerance and forgiveness. What is the purpose of your life since you can’t get everything you wanted? I would’ve killed myself if I were you.”
“How dare you talk about cutting my tongue? You might have gotten your wish if it wasn’t for Mrs. Maupay rescuing me on time.”
“Please be rest assured, though. I will wait till the day when I can cut your tongue, so you can’t bring harm to others with your words.”
“So it was Mrs. Maupay who released you? How did she…” Riley’s face was red with anger.
“The world doesn’t revolve around you, Riley. You’re nothing. And to make sure you’re clear with the outcome of messing with me. I’ll give you a few punches for free, so just you wait for me.”
