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!”

Perfect team, my foot. This guy was clearly off his rocker.

I remained silent, and Louis’s tone grew increasingly desperate.

“Do you really think I’m the only one out to get Neil? Even if you hold onto your old feelings and refuse to act against him, there will always be others who want to bring him down. You’ll find out soon enough, just you wait.”

Were there other people trying to get at Neil?

I was puzzled. What did Louis mean by “bring him down”? Would Neil’s life be in danger?

Before I got a chance to clarify, Louis hung up.
