Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 213 Dare Not Disobey

After the banquet ended, Ainsley waited at the door, and Matteo went to the garage to drive.

The light at the door of Pearl Hotel was dazzling, and Ainsley was stopped just as she was about

to walk out.

Kaliyah stood in front of Ainsley and stroked her belly with a smirk. “I’m pregnant. Ms. Easton, do you know?”

Ainsley glanced at Kaliyah curiously. She reached out and wanted to touch Kaliyah’s belly. Kaliyah was shocked and took a step back. “What are you doing?”

Ainsley smiled faintly. “Everyone in Seattle knows that you are pregnant, and the things you try to hide will also be exposed one day.”

“What do you mean?” Kaliyah’s expression changed slightly.

Ainsley continued, “I mean what happened in the horse track and the Rulina Villa Area. You think

that you have found a scapegoat and that Cason will do his best to protect you because you are pregnant. But don’t forget that the Baldry family is nothing in Seattle.”

“Ainsley, are you threatening me now?” Kaliyah widened her eyes and failed to remain composed.

“Threaten? No, I am just warning you. Don’t be too complacent. Kaitlin is currently in detention, and the Baldry family does not even want to save her. I wonder if Cason knows that the real culprit is

you. Anyway, I will not let you get away.”

Ainsley’s eyes were filled with coldness.

Kaliyah’s face turned gloomy as if her mask had been torn off. She refused to admit defeat and

said ferociously, “Ainsley, you won’t make it!”

Kaliyah wanted to say more, yet Matteo drove to the gate and Ainsley got into the car without looking back. Kaliyah stood in place, not knowing how to vent her anger.

In the car, Matteo said, “The Wilson family refused to tell who the culprit was. My subordinates

asked for a long time.”

Ainsley felt strange. What method did Kaliyah use? The whole Wilson family was actually willing to

protect her.

They all said that Kaitlin had done all of those things, but Ainsley was sure that she had heard

Kaliyah’s voice.

Moreover, from the conversation between Ainsley and Kaliyah, Kaliyah was obviously behind it.

Irene took Manuel’s car back home. It was Koen’s order, and Manuel did not dare to disobey it.

The atmosphere was tense in the car. Irene had a headache when she thought about what happened at

the auction. She had prepared carefully for so long, but in the end, she left a bad impression in front of

Aedan.

Just now, Ainsley was able to make a quick reaction, and Irene thought that she was a respectable

opponent.

However, Irene was angry that Manuel didn’t help her.

“Manuel, just now, you also realized that there was something wrong with the painting, but why didn’t you

remind me? You should have thought of a solution. Why didn’t you help me?”

Manuel looked ahead with a contemptuous smile on his face. “Weren’t you always confident in it? I

thought the situation was within your control. Anyway, it was settled properly in the end.”

Irene put on a self-mocking smile. “Have you forgotten? The Wade family and the Gage family have

joined hands today.”

Manuel heard her, but he did not say anything.

Irene could not accept his indifference. Her emotions were almost out of control, and her voice

became sharper. “Why didn’t you answer my question? Is it because of Ainsley? You didn’t help me

just to give the Easton family a chance, right? Manuel, you disappoint me. Do you still remember

the cooperation between our two families?”

Manuel remained silent and focused on the road at the front.

After Ainsley returned home, she kept thinking about the important news that Aedan had

mentioned. If what Aedan had said was true, why had the upcoming auction of Halfmoon Island

not been made public until now?

There was not even the slightest bit of gossip about it.

Now, everyone thought that the new route would be developed on Emerald Island.

Ainsley was not sure that the news Aedan had told her was true.

“Matteo, do you think where is the new route? Emerald Island or Halfmoon Island?” She suddenly

asked

Matteo thought for a moment, “It’s hard to say. Emerald Island is surrounded by the sea on all sides and

was at the intersection of other routes. Halfmoon Island is indeed close to the ****.

Aedan has no reason to deceive us.”

Get Bogus

After all, if Aedan wanted to sell Emerald Island and didn’t tell them anything, he could get more money. What he said would only drag the high price of Emerald Island down.

For Aedan, it would be a great loss.

“So you think what he said is true?” Ainsley asked again.

Matteo nodded. “Maybe the previous news was fake. Someone spread it deliberately so that they

could bid for Halfmoon Island at the lowest price.”

“Anyway, we have to attend the land auction in a month,” Ainsley said.

“Go rest early. I have something to deal with.”

“Okay.”

Kaliyah had been uneasy ever since she returned home because Ainsley’s words echoed in her

mind. Although Kaliyah knew very well that Cason would protect her, she understood that if Ainsley

found concrete evidence, the Gage family and Easton family would work together to send Kaliyah

to prison.

After Cason went to the study to deal with work, Kaliyah took out her phone and called someone.

The phone was picked up quickly, and Irene’s lazy voice sounded. “What’s the matter?” You have

recently been in the limelight because of pregnancy. Aren’t you afraid of being discovered when

you suddenly call me?”

“Save me!” Kaliyah went straight to the point. She had no other choice but to call Irene.

“What happened?” Irene’s voice became a little anxious.

Kaliyah said, “That ****might have known the truth long ago. She’s been looking for evidence to convict me. She warned me just now.”

“Idiot!” Irene cursed, “If you had not provoked her, would she have said those things to you?”

Irene paused for a moment and then continued, “I told you. Since Kaitlin is in detention now and was willing to be your scapegoat. Don’t think about it anymore. Why did you provoke Ainsley after the banquet? If you want to die, don’t ask me to help you think of a way.”
