Chapter 449 You Don't Think You're More Important Than My Wife, Do You?


Even though they were soaked and had just been fighting, Alaric grinned and said, "Stuart's totally buying it."

"Huh?" Cormac blinked, caught off guard by Alaric's sudden topic switch. "Why do you think that?"

"Just look at how he's acting. Pretty soon, Stuart and Ambrose are gonna go from uneasy to a serious falling out," Alaric explained, then turned to Cormac. "I figured something else out too." "What's that?"

"Besides me, there's someone else who had a reason to bribe Matthew and set up the car crash that killed Orion."

His jewelry company wanted to mess with you, which is why he could so easily kidnap Aurora to blackmail me."
