Chapter 502

“You’re a businessman, Neil, you should be thinking about what’s good for business. What you’re doing is nothing but folly. You’ll regret it, I tried to appeal to Neil’s pragmatic side. Neil just gave a cold, indifferent chuckle, as if I’d just told the funniest joke in the world.

“Have you seen Russel?” Neil’s gaze was sharp, suspicious, as if he was afraid I’d lie.

I grunted in confirmation, not keen on going into details.

Neil acted surprised. “That’s why he suddenly backed off. What did you tell him to change his mind?”

He leaned in closer, a smirk playing on his lips. “Did you offer yourself to him?”

I instinctively backed away. Every time Neil got too close, I felt like a sheep cornered by a

wolf.

Seeing my reaction, Neil’s smirk grew wider. “Did you really?”

“You’re crazy!” I snapped back, my patience wearing thin.
