Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 254

Bernard was utterly terrified and at a complete loss.

Lorenzo was usually good to those around him, there was no doubt about the camaraderie and brotherhood he valued. But when he got tough, he was truly ruthless,

Startled, Bernard blurted everything out without thinking. Afterward, he kept begging for mercy. “Mr. Moretti, I didn’t mean it. I was just curious”

Cecil was taken aback. Is this even a plea for mercy? It sounds more like he was inviting more trouble”

Fortunately, he hadn’t implicated Cecil in his confession; otherwise, Cecil would be in trouble too. If Bernard had dragged him into it. Cecil would definitely have given him a piece of his mind.

But now, with this “curiosity,” Cecil could do nothing to help. He finally understood the saying “disaster comes from one’s own mouth.”

Lorenzo let out a low chuckle. “Curious?” The word sounded even more dangerous coming from him.

Bernard instinctively nodded, but immediately realized something was wrong and quickly shook his head. “No, I’m not curious. I’m not. I didn’t mean it.”

Oh no, what did I say wrong this time? It seems like Mr. Moretti’s tone had become even more menacing. Never mind, he decided. ‘I won’t speak anymore. My mouth is clearly trouble–prone.”

“Mr. Moretti, I’m not curious. I was just curious whether I could do it myself,” said Bernard.

Cecil was stunned. He wanted to leave, to get out of there. He couldn’t bear to listen to this any longer.

“Mr. Moretti, I just remembered there’s still something I haven’t extracted from that guy. I’ll go and interrogate him,” Cecil said, not waiting for Lorenzo’s response before quickly leaving.

He swore that from now on, he would stay far away whenever Bernard and Lorenzo were together. One slight oversight could easily lead to collateral damage.

Lorenzo glanced at Bernard.

“Mr. Moretti, can I go with him to interrogate?” Bernard asked, hoping to escape as well. The oppressive atmosphere was. intense, and his heart couldn’t take it.

Lorenzo took a cigarette from the pack, lit it, and asked, “What’s your relationship with Macro?”

“What? We don’t have any relationship, Bernard replied, confused by the sudden question. He had no connection with Macro. And he had no idea why Lorenzo asked such a question..

Lorenzo said, “I think it would be good for you two to become brothers.”
