Chapter 516

It turned out Neil knew about Louis and Russel’s collaboration all along.

“So, are you busy dealing with both of them now?” I asked.

“Yeah, and there are other company matters to handle, too. I can’t leave Hiram with Karina, which is why I turned to you.” Neil seemed to have made up his mind to let Karina go, but. he wanted to keep the kid.

If I were in his shoes, I would never accept someone else taking my child. But Karina’s actions were indeed horrifying. She was so fixated on Neil that she treated her own child like a mere tool.

“The problem is, I can’t help you, Neil.” I declined him once again. Hiram was very resistant towards me. Even if I pitied him for having an irresponsible mother, I just couldn’t take care of him.

If I had the time, I’d rather take care of Serena and Brandon myself.

“You have to help me.” Neil’s tone was firm. “I’ll make you a deal. If Russel and Louis stop troubling for me, I’ll let bygones be bygones and won’t seek revenge. Are you satisfied with this?”

The calmness on the surface was all a facade. Russel seemed to have tricked me, yet not tricked me at the same time.

“Let’s talk when I get back.” I was currently busy with sending off my two kids. I had no time to deal with Neil and someone else’s child.

“Where are you going?” Neil caught onto the key point of my words. “When will you be back?”
