Chapter 669: Collusion with Grizzi’s people
He didn’t use much force in the slap, but Severo’s hand turned red instantly.
Allyce’s eyes widened in surprise… Is the skin on Severo’s hands so delicate?
“I know why you’re so angry.” Severus stretched out his fingers, then squeezed them again and continued to hold Allyce’s hand, taking her long, slender fingers one by one in his hands and playing with them. Playing with her.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Allyce watched him, waiting for him to say the next words.
“But it’s true what I said, I wouldn’t lie to you, would I? Severo suddenly looked up and gave him a smile.
His handsome features softened, and the smile on his face was like the warmth that flows after the ice and snow have melted.
Allyce slowly withdrew her hand, stood up and stepped back, leaning against the table, wrapping her arms around him and looking at him condescendingly, “Severo, do you really think I’m that easy to fool?”
A flash of surprise crossed Severo’s face.
He lowered his eyes, with a ghostly light hovering beneath them.
Frankly, I’m sure that’s not possible.
Is he not telling the truth? His little wife doesn’t seem to take it badly either.
The room fell silent and it was a moment before Allyce heard Severo say in a deep voice: “I suspect collusion between the grandfather and Grizzi’s men”.
Allyce frowned and her first reaction was to retort: “How can that be?
He raised his hand to rub his forehead and sat back down: “Grandfather is the head of the Solares family, how can he possibly be in cahoots with Grizzi when he values the family’s reputation so highly? It can’t be.
“No, nothing is impossible in this world.” Severo’s face was sober, his dark eyes narrowed slightly, blocking the emotions beneath them: “Even the officials work with Grizzi’s people, not to mention the grandfather. The family’s reputation is important, but who’s to say what methods are used to maintain it? Even if he was doing nasty things in secret, how would he let anyone know?
Analysed in this way, Allyce again found it very plausible.
Qin Mu saw her look of serious thought, her eyes flickered slightly, she stood up and poured him a glass of water, and made no other sound to disturb his thoughts.
Allyce thought about it and asked: “How do you know he’s in cahoots with Grizzi’s people?
“Izar.
Three simple words that woke Allyce up.
Severo went on to explain: “I already had my suspicions when Izar escaped from the castle of Solares, but at that time I thought the same as you, that the grandfather could not be related to Grizzi, so I didn’t think in that direction”.
These last words, without waiting for Severo to say them, had already been said by Allyce for him: “The last time we went to J, before you got involved in a criminal case, I was using Izar to divert everyone’s attention, and …”.
Izar called her and took her away, just as Gabrio was taken away by Qin Mu, and Adan and the others who were there must also have been warned by Izar.
If Izar and Tajo are also connected in some way, then her and Severo’s situation in J will be even more dangerous.
From Severo’s tone of voice, and his recent behaviour, I would have been sure that Tajo was in cahoots with Grizzi’s men.
“Allyce wondered why the Solares family, which had become J’s highest aristocracy and extremely prestigious, would want to collude with Grizzi’s people.
“You will never understand how attractive power is to a man”.
He could not go into detail with Allyce about Tajo’s psychological changes and ambitions, but could only explain them in general terms.
Allyce’s face changed abruptly: “And you?
But to my surprise, Severo pursed his lips and smiled with absolute arrogance and confidence in his tone: “If I were as ambitious as him, I wouldn’t have met you and I wouldn’t be just an entrepreneur …”.
Here he pauses before continuing: “For me, ambition is really a positive word, it’s human. ”
Allyce nods and shakes her head.
Severo reached out and rubbed the top of her hair, saying soothingly, “Don’t think so hard, I’m here for you”.
“Take care.” Although he wanted to go back to J with Severo, to be with him through everything, the situation seemed like the best option for him to stay in Cloud Cit.
…
In the evening, Allyce leaves Severo on the premises.
She drove it herself, but still with a bodyguard.
As Allyce said goodbye, she felt she had much more to say, but the most she could say was: “Alonzo and I will wait for you when you return.
Severo, dressed in his usual black suit, his short hair closely cropped, his expressionless face with an unmistakable air of tenderness, nodded his head solemnly: “Yes.
Allyce pursed her lips and stopped talking.
He feared that if he spoke, he would burst into tears.
Severo stared at her, as if he wanted to engrave her in his heart.
Time was running out and he could not stay any longer. Severo raised his hand and, in one slow movement, shook off Allyce’s hand and turned to enter security.
Allyce couldn’t resist taking two steps forward, when she saw the fast-moving figure stop.
To her slight dismay, Severo had returned with long strides and wrapped his arms around her in a tight kiss.
The two kissed goodbye in the crowded airport, despite the strange looks from the others.
At the end of this deep, long kiss, both men’s breathing was a little ragged, but both were unusually awake.
“When I come back, no looking at other men, take Alonzo with you when you go out, and don’t wear a dress when it’s cold …” Severo rambled on and then suddenly stopped.
Because he saw Allyce crying.
“What’s all this talk about …, I … was going to give you a nice farewell today,” Allyce spoke haltingly, her voice still a little breathy.
Severo wiped away her tears rather roughly, his voice a little fierce: “Why are you crying!”
The most seductive look when you cry.
He was not with her, and those shameless men did not know what they had in mind.
It’s not very reassuring, whichever way you look at it.
“Get out of here.” Allyce pushed his hand away and turned to run out of the airport.
Severo watched his back as he walked away, his throat slipping with difficulty, before he stepped into safety without looking back.
Allyce ran a short distance and turned to find that Severo was no longer in sight.
He bent down and put his hand to his throat, where it felt like cotton wool had been stuffed down his throat, and it was uncomfortable.
He got back into the car and did not leave immediately until after the hour Severo’s plane had taken off and Allyce was driving again.
While waiting for the red light, she stopped to fix her make-up by herself.
Don’t cry, you have to be strong and not hold Severo back.
After touching up her make-up and feeling that she looked a little better, she put her things away.
It was at that moment that his phone rang.
He went over to have a look and found a somewhat familiar string of numbers, but for a moment he couldn’t remember whose it was.
He picked up the phone: – “Hello …”.
But the person on the other end of the line wasn’t listening and sounded unusually anxious: “Allyce, is Severo on the plane yet?
