Chapter 949: Fools Only Make Excuses

Alina shot Tina a glance before stepping out to check on Ruud. Tina understood why Ruud had done this-it was for her. He had personally severed this family bond, leaving the rest to her.

Tina stepped forward, crouched on the ground, and twirled a few silver needles in her hand. "Uncle Boris," she said coldly, "I'm not my father. I have neither affection for you nor patience. I suggest you stop wasting my time." "Where is Claudia?"

Boris's eyelids twitched, but his expression remained stoic. "What Claudia? I have no idea what you're talking about."

Tina flicked her wrist. In an instant, two silver needles pierced his acupoints, sending a wave of unbearable pain through Boris. His face turned pale.

Her voice grew colder. "You've done so much for her. You even risked it all to find the Jade Armour for her, and now you're telling me you don't know who she is? Uncle Boris, do you take me for a three-year-old?" Boris's face drained of color, and his eyes flickered briefly at the mention of the Jade Armour, but he clamped his mouth shut.

Tina played a recording for him. It was a conversation between him and Claudia, where she instructed him to search for the Jade Armour. Though the voice on the other end had been altered, rendering it untraceable, Boris couldn't possibly fail to recognize his own voice.

"You were listening in on me?" Boris finally realized where he had slipped up.

Tina calmly retrieved her phone. "Uncle Boris, self-awareness is a virtue. You reached into Grandpa's affairs. If I didn't step in, it'd be unforgivable."

Boris knew he was no match for Tina. He turned his head away, refusing to speak. "Since the Jade Armour is in your hands, I have nothing more to say."

Tina narrowed her eyes but offered no explanation nor denial.
