Chapter 248

“Are you sure?” Eason furrowed his brow. “If you really can’t handle it, making someone disappear suddenly is, in fact, quite easy for me.”

Eason was speaking the truth.

The world may seem bright, but there’s never a shortage of darkness beneath the surface.

And with his status as the primary heir of the Tonico, making someone as insignificant as Monica vanish would be a piece of cake.

Susan was startled.

What kind of ruthless Eason’s words were this?

Eason, a businessman, talking so casually about making people disappear. It wasn’t that a bit too harsh?

Moreover, although Susan didn’t like Monica, she didn’t think the situation had reached such a dire level.

Susan was about to say something.

Ben spoke up in a detached tone, “Making a person disappear is the most useless form of punishment. Monica will pay the price she deserves.”

He gently patted Susan’s head. “Don’t worry, I have it under control.”

Susan let out a sigh of relief.

“But…” Eason started to say something more.

Suddenly, Ben gave him a,meaningful look. “You don’t need to worry about Monica. Eason, it’s getting late. Do you plan to continue playing cards, or is it time to leave?”

Eason’s voice halted, and panic visibly took over his expression.

Susan glanced at Eason and then at Ben, a flicker of surprise in her eyes.

She always felt there was something being kept from her between Ben and Eason.

Previously, when Ben invited Eason over to play cards, Susan found it strange.

Now, that feeling of strangeness climbed to its peak.

She had a premonition.

Her questions, she thought, would probably be answered tonight.

Under Susan’s clear gaze, sweat began to bead on Eason’s forehead, drop by drop.

He had planned to come clean to Susan tonight.

But even after days of mental preparation, when he finally faced Susan, panic set in.

He couldn’t bring himself to speak and just kept dragging it on.
