Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 306

My hand was tightly clutching the cup, I was lost in silence for a long while.

The air seemed to solidify, the silence so thick it was suffocating.

“What’s up? Got some guessing now?” Russel broke the silence.

“You’re saying Neil and Ethan teamed up against my dad?” I finally voiced my unthinkable suspicion, “You think I’d believe that?”

“Why would Neil still be in contact with Bonnie, why would he be with Ethan?* Russel shot back, a little nervously, “Why would you come here instead of just believing him?”

I sprang to my feet, my chest heaving with agitation, “Just spit it out, don’t pressure me!”

“I’m not pressuring you, I just want you to see the truth, instead of being fooled by him.” Russel returned my gaze, his voice heavy.

“If you’re suggesting Neil and Ethan teamed up against my dad, what proof have you got? Why would he do that?” I forced myself to calm down, settling back down.

Since I was here, I had to clear things up.

Russel looked at me, silent for a moment, then answered, “You know, Bonnie and I worked together once, so we’re still in touch, I know quite a bit.

“As for why Neil would do that, isn’t it obvious?” Russel tapped lightly on the table, “He wants you back, and now, hasn’t he achieved that?”

My last line of defense crumbled, even though Russel didn’t provide any evidence, what he said aligned with my suspicions.
