Chapter 490

Louis was ticked off by my blunt words, but it was evident there was a newfound

wariness in his eyes. “Irene, are you really that dense? Have you forgotten how Neil used to treat you?”

He was trying to stoke my hatred for Neil, to reel me into his scheme against him.

But what I couldn’t comprehend was why he believed I’d agree. All I wanted was to steer clear of Neil. Why on earth would I want to get into the mess?

“What happened in the past is in the past. I don’t want to waste time dwelling on it. You’ve got the wrong person, Louis.” I replied, maintaining my firm stance.

“Yes, the past is the past. But the pain Neil caused you isn’t. Scars always remain,” Louis persisted. “You and Neil don’t share any children, just a bitter past. We should be the perfect team!”

I was confident my threat held enough weight to make Louis think twice before messing
