Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 735

He looked at me, his eyes slightly moist. "Her mother got a loan through usury and those men probably learned that Serena’s future as a star was over, so they went to extort money from them. She couldn't fork out so much money, and those guys weren't good guys, hence the consequence was imaginable."

I frowned. "They didn’t have to kill her. Someone clearly wanted her dead."

"Are you suspecting me?" Theo asked with a smile.

I said without a single hesitation, "You wouldn't have done that."

He was stunned. "How are you so sure?"

I pursed my lips. "Although Serena isn't smart and has caused lots of trouble, she has no power or influence. After Grant Corporation terminated her contract, her only way out was to start a new life in another city with her mother. She had no chance of making waves anymore, so there's no need for you to end her life. Besides, you're not a vicious person either."

Theo was a man with dignity and would not resort to such underhanded means to retaliate against a person.

He pulled me into his arms and rested his chin on my head. His voice was low and deep. "I didn't know your

impression of me in your heart is this good."

I smirked. "You're just average."

Theo smiled but did not say anything else.

"Do you have a lead on this?" I looked up and asked him.

He kissed my forehead. "You shouldn’t interfere in this matter. What you need to do now is read your books and memorize what you need to."

Frankly speaking, this matter really had nothing to do with me, so I simply kept quiet about it.

As we entered October, the seven-day holiday that Munchkin had been looking forward to finally arrived.
