Facade of Love

Chapter 338 It’s Snowing

Idris finished organizing the first aid kit, glanced at me, and a faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips. “You’re clever.”

I rolled my eyes, not in the mood for jokes at a time like this. I looked at him, a bit exasperated, and asked, “What are you planning to do?”

He shook his head. “I don’t know. I’m the target, and they’ve orchestrated so many things in succession just to make me feel agitated. I’m playing along for now, and I also want to see what they will do next.

I pursed my lips, unable to contain my curiosity. “Who is this person, and how can they manipulate things even from inside prison, committing murder without a trace of evidence? Do they hold a grudge against both of us?”

Idris took a seat in the armchair, his dark eyes narrowing slightly as he seemed lost in thought. After a moment, he replied, “Perhaps he only has a grudge against me, and there may not necessarily be any enmity with you.”

“Have you offended someone?” Over the years, the Youngs had done well in their business, and it was impossible for them not to have enemies. However, having enemies who could go to the extent of framing murders and implicating them was on another level.

He shook his head. “The Youngs have a history spanning a hundred years, and they’ve hindered many people’s paths. There are countless who would like to eliminate us. I can’t be sure of the mastermind behind this.”

That seemed to be the case.

Ring, ring… Suddenly, the phone in the room rang. Both Idris and I were taken aback for a moment before realizing that it was my phone.

Answering the call, it was Charlie on the line. I had not spoken yet when he asked, “Yvette, are you okay?”

“I don’t know who you’ll ultimately choose, but can you give me a little more time? I’ll do my best. And if in the end, it’s still not enough, only then can you consider giving up on me, alright?”
