Starting with A Divorce

Chapter 623 Koen Gage

Sensing her emotions, Matteo spoke gently, “Those things won’t happen again, and the culprit is in the hands of the police now. Aisy, don’t dwell on the past.”

“Matteo, I’m not afraid. What’s done by night appears by day. Once you commit a mistake, you’ll be thrown into jail,” Ainsley said.

As they drove out of Myrtle Street, Ainsley felt much better.

“Aisy, did you hire a detective?” Matteo thought for a long time before deciding to ask.

“How did you know?” Ainsley was somewhat puzzled. She had not told Matteo about it yet.

Matteo sold Manuel out without hesitation. “Manuel told me. He approached me and asked why you hired a detective, but I didn’t tell him anything.”

Ainsley furrowed her brows, and her face turned dark. “Matteo, if he approaches you again, tell him it’s none of his business!”

As New Year was around the corner, many people were getting ready to return home after a year of working in a foreign land.

For the wealthy, it was a different scene altogether. Families with some money would use this holiday as an excuse to go on a shopping spree to welcome the new year, which was also deemed auspicious.

As usual, Manuel delegated the shopping tasks to his assistant.

However, a crucial person was missing from the plan.

Usually, after the assistant had finalized the list, he would show it to Koen for approval before proceeding.

Now, the assistant sighed as he looked at the printed list. He silently prayed for Koen, hoping that a miracle would happen this year.

After finishing his work, Manuel went to pick up Serina, and together they headed to the hospital.

His thinking was simple. He couldn’t let his grandfather spend the festive season alone in the hospital.
