After the divorce, he begged

Chapter 329

Jeffrey shot a quick glance at Barry, who looked nervous and guilty, then shifted his eyes to Ryan, whose cold, serious vibe filled the room. “Is there something you need, Mr. Guzman?”

“What do you think? Ryan said, his voice extra sharp.

“I’m listening, go ahead, Jeffrey replied politely.

Ryan caught sight of Rebecca stepping out from behind him, and the words he was about to say died in his

throat.

Ryan stepped right in, blocking Jeffrey’s way as he moved closer to Rebecca. “He didn’t do anything to you, did he?”

Rebecca shook her head. “No.”

“You don’t have to worry about who he is–with your dad here, you can say whatever you want,” Ryan said, making it clear he was backing her up. “If there’s anything, I’ll handle it for you.”

“We just talked about Samuel,” Rebecca replied, still not used to sharing personal stuff in front of others. “Nothing else happened.”

Ryan wasn’t convinced at all.

If it was really just about Samuel, why come all the way here? And why did they have to lock the door?‘ Ryan thought, his suspicion deepening.

‘Something’s definitely not right here!‘ he told himself.

“I’m heading downstairs,” Rebecca said, not staying any longer.

“Alright, I’ll join you guys after I finish up with Mr. Guzman,” Jeffrey said.

Rebecca gave a quick nod and walked out.

Ryan’s frown deepened.

“What the hell did they talk about in there to make Rebecca’s attitude toward Jeffrey shift so much? Earlier today she couldn’t even stand the guy, now she’s suddenly willing to spend time with him? That’s seriously suspicious, Ryan thought, unease creeping in.

This isn’t right, he muttered to himself.

“If you have something to say, Mr. Guzman, now’s the time,” Jeffrey said, his tone casual and unbothered. “Rebecca’s not here,”

“Don’t think I don’t know you set this up,” Ryan shot back, his eyes cold and sharp with warning. “You pretended you were just looking for her, then had your people lock the door from the outside so you could get Rebecca alone. I’m pretty familiar with that move myself.”

Barry opened his mouth, ready to explain.

But Jeffrey cut him off, a faint smirk curling his lips. “Oh? Sounds like you’ve done this before. Mr. Guzman?

Ryan kept his expression ice–cold. “Quit dodging and stick to the point.”
