Love You Enough to Leave You

Love You Enough to Leave You Chapter 196

“Stephanie, am I a good brother to you?” Oscar asked out of nowhere.

As Stephanie met Oscar’s knowing gaze, her heart began racing. Something told her that if she couldn’t offer a good explanation, her brother might cut ties with her.

She swallowed nervously and racked her brains for a suitable explanation. Ugh, stupid Cassie. If she hadn’t planted that thought in my mind, I wouldn’t have hired someone to hit Amelia. I’ve underestimated how important Amelia is to Oscar.

I wouldn’t have made that reckless decision if I knew Oscar would spend so much effort to find the culprit. Instead, I would make sure to perfect my plan before carrying it out.

“Er, you’re a great brother,” Stephanie gulped and mumbled.

Oscar shot her a disappointing glare and gritted out, “Stephanie, if I’m a good brother, why did you hire a hitman to harm my wife and son?”

Stephanie panicked instantly. She hurriedly waved her hand. “Oscar, he’s lying! I’ve never seen him before, let alone hire him to hit Amelia. It’s true that I don’t like her, but I’m not crazy enough to harm her and my unborn nephew!”

Upon hearing Stephanie’s denial, the man struggled to sit up and declared, “Ms. Stephanie, you liar. I still have the money you gave me in my account. After giving half to someone else, I withdrew a few hundred thousand to pay for my wife’s medical bills. The rest are still in my account. The money can be traced back to you.”

In response, Stephanie glowered and kicked the man repeatedly to vent her anger. “Nonsense! How dare you accuse me? Die!”

Oscar knitted his brows. “Stop her.”

The two bodyguards went up and dragged Stephanie away at his order.

Stephanie couldn’t contain her rage. “Let me go! I’m going to beat that b*stard to death! He’ll find out that I’m no pushover. He can’t frame me as he likes!”

Nevertheless, the bodyguards didn’t release her.

She shot daggers at them and demanded, “Are you deaf? Release me! Otherwise, you’ll be in deep trouble!”

Oscar rose to his feet and commented, “Oh? Deep trouble, you say?”

Stephanie took one look at him and promptly returned to her obedient self.

He glared at her before turning to Kurt. “Kurt, get me her account statement. I want to see where she spent her money for the past month.”

Kurt nodded and spun on his heels to leave.

At once, Stephanie grabbed Kurt’s arm in a state of panic and pleaded, “Oscar, don’t tell me you really believe this man’s nonsense?”

“If it wasn’t you, why would you be afraid?” Oscar returned coolly.
