Chapter 622: Do You Still Love That Man
Amora looked down and saw her two sons standing there staring at her with mischievous grins on their faces.
Her face blushed moments later when she realized how she was dressed, and she quickly scrambled back inside the bedroom, slamming the door shut behind her with a loud bang.
When did those two get here? Wait...They said Kane wanted me to take them home, so...
Does that mean he brought them here? Amora calmed down slightly at the thought of that.
Little did she know, the smiles on the kids’ faces vanished the moment she shut the bedroom door.
"What do you think Daddy's playing at this time? Why would he choose to sleep here instead of coming home to us? Also, I can't believe he just got up and left even after Mommy came looking for him! How dare he call himself a man?" Matteo asked.
Despite them being very smart, they were still too young to understand adult matters.
Having been raised by Kane, lan kept quiet as he already had a feeling this would happen.
Even so, he was disappointed to the core when he saw Kane driving off without looking back earlier.
"I'll take care of this.You just make sure Mommy doesn't find out."
Matteo pouted reluctantly but agreed to do as told anyway. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Just like that, the three of them headed back home later that afternoon.
Suspecting nothing after hearing what the two of them said, Amora began making dinner together with the housemaids upon arriving home.
"Little lan, could you ask Daddy when he'll be home? Mommy's about to make dinner!"
"Okay!"
lan, who was playing with Vivian at the time, ran into the living room to give Kane a call.
Meanwhile, in the penthouse suite of Ronin Corporation, Kane glanced at his phone that was vibrating on the desk before putting it on silent.
Are you kidding me? He's not even answering calls from his family now? Kylo was surprised when he saw that, but kept his thoughts to himself and carried on talking about the case from yesterday.
"The case is closed.Solomon has pleaded guilty, and Saikyo Enterprise has returned the stocks it took from Ronin Corporation.However, he managed to get away scot-free by pinning all of the blame on another vice president in the company"
Kylo said while placing the files on Kane's desk.
As Solomon was a lawyer himself, they had anticipated for him to easily find a loophole in the case and get away with his crimes.
As such, Kane was not surprised in the slightest upon hearing the news and simply shot Kylo a cold glare in silence.
Um...
Is that my cue to leave now or what? Mr.Ronin seems to be in a really bad mood today, so I think it would be dangerous to stick around.
I'd better leave...
Right as Kylo was about to turn around, Kane called out to him and said, "Didn't they have us on the ropes at some point? Why would they suddenly plead guilty?"
"Huh? How did you know that?"
Kylo asked out of surprise, only to quickly cover his mouth when he realized he had misspoken.
Kane glared daggers at him, and the atmosphere was so tense that it felt like he would skin Kylo alive if he didn't come clean.
Kylo shuddered a little as he said, "M-Mr.Ronin...I didn't mean to keep it a secret or anything! I just thought there was no need to worry you since we won anyway..."
"Worry?" Kane chuckled coldly.
"What do you mean by that? Come on, tell me."
Kylo had broken out in a cold sweat at that point.He didn't want to talk about it because it would lead to more conflicts between the two, but Kane had found out about it on his own.
"We had a bit of an issue with our evidence.It's the CD that we presented the court with.Solomon was somehow able to present an exact same copy, except theirs was a lot more complete."
"More complete?"
"Yes.Basically, it included the part that we edited out where he knelt in front of Chris..."
Kylo's voice grew softer and softer toward the end of his sentence.
As expected, the tension in the office increased to a terrifying degree after that, and the sounds of their breathing were all they could hear in the deafening silence.
"So, my master tape was taken away?"
"Who took it? Was it her?"
He spat those words forcefully out of his mouth.
Oh, no! Kylo quickly looked up and defended Amora by explaining, "S-Sir, I'm sure Mrs.Ronin had her reasons for doing that! I mean, Saikyo Enterprise only pleaded guilty after she went there!"
