Chapter 295

Marvin

“Wasn’t the beating enough for you?”

I could hardly believe we were doing this again, but I pressed my arm against Victor’s neck, trapping him between the wall. It was a shame we had to do this in my dad’s office.

Scolding Victor couldn’t wait, so I wasted no time and was ready to get my answers. I had been doing everything to keep Elena away from all this madness, only for him to open the door right in front of me.

Sending her flowers and a ring to cover up my alibi for the text confirmation about Danny Hernandez was already bad enough, but he had made it a whole lot worse,

“I invited your little thing to the mansion, so what?” Victor played the victim as always. It didn’t matter. Mario wouldn’t agree to this-he would never. The mansion was the heart of the organization, and he wouldn’t be that stupid to allow this.

“Hey, what’s all the fucking commotion about?” My dad burst through the door. “It’s almost midnight!”

Panther pulled me away from Victor. “It’s nothing, sir.”

Mario released a low growl and pushed us aside so he could sit behind his desk. Believe it or not, I felt terrible for dragging him out of bed in his pajamas, but I didn’t have that much choice.Elena could not visit under any circumstances.

“Come on, tell me.” My dad spoke, exhausted. “What is it now?”

Victor and I looked at each other. “Do you remember the woman who was a witness at the shooting?” Victor smirked. “Yes, I do-is something wrong?” My dad asked. “Is she causing trouble?”

I shook my head. “No, she isn’t-”

“Since Marvin doesn’t want to send Tiago to a mental facility, I came up with a good idea to invite the girl. She was one of the last people to see Anya, so maybe she can get through Tiago.”

My dad laughed at Victor’s weird conclusion while I joined him.As expected, he wouldn’t let it pass. Mario scrunched his nose.

“Is the girl a nurse?”

“No.”

“A psychologist?”

“No.”

“A therapist?

“No”

“God?”

“No, she isn’t.”
