I squinted my eyes and laughed. "Aren't you the ones crossing the line? What makes you think I won't hold you accountable for killing my child? Do you really think you rule the world?"
"Because I can easily ruin your life.” Petra gritted her teeth.
"Wow." I was full of disdain. "We shall see who will be the last one smiling."
Grayson stared at me with a darkened expression. " Miss Lane, I never thought of you as a smart person, because you wouldn't risk your entire life for one child if you were."
"Look who's talking," I chuckled mockingly. "As if you wouldn't do the same for Cindy Reed."
His gaze stiffened as soon as he understood my words.
"I do hope Mr. Louis won’t give up on her when the time comes." I took the wine glass on the table and toasted him before turning away to leave.
Ignoring whether I would or would not be able to achieve the words I was babbling out of my mouth, I could not lose control of my temperament, at the very least. Otherwise, these two would continue to squash me like a soft toy. I definitely did not want to die
before getting to avenge my child.
Grayson and Petra were in a really bad mood and had no intention to stay at the banquet any longer. They went to greet Nancy with a few words and bid farewell.
I watched them walking out of the villa with cold eyes.
Yvonne walked over to me and asked with a smile," You don't like the two of them as well?"
"Not really," I answered honestly.
Yvonne chuckled. "I like your honesty, speaking as you wish without hiding anything."
I pursed my lips and gave her a faint smile, not saying anything.
