Chapter 1989 Feelings Of Regret

Upon learning that Magnus had returned, the manager too burst out of his office, raising his hand to land a punch on Magnus.

"You actually dared to return. Where's the money?" the manager demanded, seething with anger.

Magnus grimaced in pain, staggering back several steps. Yet, he didn't fight back or attempt to dodge.

He didn't respond to the manager. Instead, he looked around and asked, "Where is Denise?"

"I can't believe you still have the audacity to ask about Denise. Do you know that her parents are ruined because of you?" the manager said, bristling with anger.

"Ruined because of me?"

Magnus' eyes widened in shock and disbelief.

"What's with that expression? You embezzled the hundred thousand meant for saving her parents. Were you aware of the consequences?" the manager questioned.

Magnus swooned slightly. "How could that be? I... I just wanted to earn a bit more money to give it to her, so she wouldn't have to work so hard... I... I didn't mean to..."

He staggered back a few steps.

The manager felt that Magnus was full of lies. He said, "You don't need to say anymore. I'm telling you, you should turn yourself in right now."

Shaking his head, Magnus said, "No, I need to find Denise. Where is she now?"
