Chapter 592: Richard and Arnold's Scheme

Betty glanced at the clock: 11:59 p.m. Richard literally made it back at the last minute.

She let out a sigh of relief and shot a look at Brade. "You still here? Need me to show you the door?"

Brade frowned, then stood up, his eyes darting to Richard, who was lurking by the door.

Richard's face was a storm cloud, but he avoided Brade's gaze.

With a cold snort, Brade had someone bring in a gift for Betty and then stormed out.

The gift? A massive bouquet and a teddy bear as tall as Betty.

Betty kept her face icy, staring at Brade's offerings, her fingers clenching tight.

"Madam, should we chuck 'em?" The bodyguard asked as soon as Brade's crew left.

Betty glanced at Richard and said, "Nah, leave 'em."

The bodyguards all looked at Richard, who stayed mum.

Betty, feeling a stomachache coming on, plopped onto the sofa and yanked out a fruit knife stuck in the cushion.

The bodyguards exchanged looks and quickly bailed. Something was definitely off.

The housekeeper shut the door and skedaddled too.

Now it was just Betty and Richard in the living room.

"Why'd you come back? Didn't you remember your first love?" Betty asked.

Richard didn't say a word, just walked over and took the knife from her hand.

Betty frowned. "What are you doing? Gonna kill me?"

Richard frowned too but stayed silent, then stabbed the knife into the teddy bear's eye.

Soon enough, he pulled out a pinhole camera.

Betty's face darkened. She knew Brade was twisted, but this was next-level creepy.
