Chapter 697: Chapter 697: Still Not Telling the Truth? (1)
Just at that moment, the young monk returned.
He handed a peach blossom to Raina North: "The master asked me to give this to you."
Raina was stunned: "What does the master mean by this?"
"The master didn’t say." The young monk pushed the peach blossom forward again, and after Raina accepted it, he bowed and hurriedly left.
Raina played with the peach blossom branch in her hand and asked Corvus Hades beside her, "Do you know what the master means by this?"
"I don’t know; if I knew, I would be the master. However, I still plan to marry you, so I won’t become a master. Just give up, unless you shave your head and join me in becoming a couple of celestial lovers in the temple."
Raina took a deep breath and told herself that if she spoke to Corvus again, she would be a pig.
At this moment.
Quinn Thorne walked briskly out from The Hades Clan, approaching the Bentley: "Boss, I’m back. I’ve investigated the situation. Today is the death anniversary of Corvus’s parents. My sister-in-law should have come as a friend of Corvus to pay her respects. It’s no big deal."
Upon hearing this, Elias Hawthorne shifted his gaze to Quinn Thorne; his eyes were as deep and unfathomable as an ancient well.
Quinn suddenly felt weak; he was already pretending to be strong, but under Elias Hawthorne’s gaze, he couldn’t help but shiver.
He used all his might to barely hold on: "D-d-do you have any other instructions, Boss?"
Elias’s eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze as sharp as if penetrating the depths of one’s heart, his tone cold and chilling: "I thought you had something else to say."
"N-no, I’ve already said everything." Quinn firmly told himself to hold on, to definitely hold on, he must not let any flaw be detected, or else The Dark Tower might go to war with The Hades Clan.
"I’ll ask one last time, what exactly happened?" Elias’s aura suddenly turned icy, becoming even more imposing.
Quinn struggled to maintain a sincere expression: "I’m telling the truth, Boss, you have to believe me, really. Who my sister-in-law is, today’s situation is nothing but a piece of cake for her, you can relax."
Haha, even though he was scared, there was absolutely no way Quinn would tell the truth about sister-in-law and Corvus bowing to his parents’ memorial, and moreover, that guy suggested a couple’s ceremonial bow and entering the bridal chamber.
Although sister-in-law had mercilessly rejected this, even with that alone, Boss would explode, and that rage could destroy a city.
Not an exaggeration at all!
And as a witness, he would be at the forefront, utterly loyal unto death.
"You’ve grown bold, daring to lie in front of me?" Elias’s tone was calm, but at the moment his voice fell, the surrounding air pressure dropped to the extreme, making the car feel like an icy wasteland.
Originally, he was just casually asking.
Raina has never been a sheltered flower; she had weathered countless storms over the years, becoming invincible, capable of handling everything herself.
But he hadn’t expected Quinn’s overreaction to his casual question. The better he disguised, the more composed he appeared, the more Elias knew the matter was serious; otherwise, Quinn wouldn’t react this way.
Quinn was nearly scared to wet himself; his heart had shrunk to a ball.
Mommy, Boss is terrifyingly scary now, even more so than a few years ago when dealing with Susan Kensington back in Southgate.
The question is, who is Susan Kensington?
She was the culprit that made Mrs. Hawthorne die with open eyes, and nearly killed Boss, that old witch—utterly terrible with fumes coming out of her head, pus flowing from her feet.
