He walked over, placed the cup in front of her, and Nathan Leafcastle’s gaze fell on her livid face.
"Vera, I know you’re very angry right now, but..."
From outside, the sound of an engine was heard, and he turned his face to see a car parked outside the door, imdiately striding towards the entrance.
Opening the door, sure enough, Irene Spencer was standing outside.
Nathan Leafcastle glanced at the car below the steps.
"Where’s Grandma Wave?!"
Squeezing past him into the door, Irene Spencer strode into the living room, seeing Vera Wave sitting on the sofa, instantly raising the corners of her lips.
"Vera, long ti no see!"
"Irene Spencer!" Vera repressed the urge to charge forward, standing up from the sofa, "Where’s my grandma?"
"Don’t worry, the elder is very safe right now, of course... as long as you behave."
Vera took a deep breath, trying to keep her voice calm.
"What exactly do you want?"
"?" Irene Spencer lightly curved her lips, "I just want to make a beautiful union, right, Mr. Leafcastle?"
Nathan Leafcastle glanced at Vera, reached out to grab her arm, dragging her to a corner of the living room, and whispered.
"Do you know that what you’re doing is a cri!"
"It’s not that serious, don’t worry, nothing will happen." Irene Spencer turned her face, nodding towards Vera by the sofa, "Mr. Leafcastle, I’ve brought her here as we agreed, shouldn’t you also help complete my condition?"
"Then you must first ensure Grandma Wave’s safety. I don’t want to bear the cri of kidnapping because of this matter." Nathan Leafcastle replied.
"Don’t worry, let’s focus on business!" Irene Spencer walked back to Vera, "Vera, Mr. Leafcastle has always liked you, you must know this, actually I’ve always thought you two are a match made in heaven, and today I specially invited you over to fulfill you and Mr. Leafcastle."
"Shut up!" Vera stepped forward, grasping her collar with one hand and pulling out a fruit knife from her pocket with the other, pressing it against her neck, "Where’s my grandma? Speak up!"
Irene Spencer was shocked, then laughed loudly.
"Not bad, you even dare to point a knife at , but... are you really not worried that killing would cause your grandma’s demise?"
"You!" Vera’s hand holding the knife was trembling, "If anything happens to grandma, I won’t let you off!"
"If you don’t want your grandma to get hurt..." Irene Spencer raised her hand to grasp the palm holding the knife, pinching the fruit knife, "then let go!"
With so apprehension in her heart, Vera naturally couldn’t really bring herself to do it.
Irene Spencer snatched the knife away with one move, violently pushing her backward.
Vera stumbled back two steps, Nathan Leafcastle rushed over to support her.
"Get away!" Vera shook off his arm, retreating to one side, pointing at the two of them, "You two wicked people will not co to a good end. Especially you!"
She pointed a finger at Irene Spencer.
"Back in the States, I treated you like that, but what about you... what have you done, Irene Spencer, when did I ever wrong you?!"
Irene Spencer’s pupils contracted, "You... what nonsense are you spouting?"
"You thought having surgery to change your appearance would prevent from recognizing you, Karlina Spencer!"
Upon hearing that long-forgotten na, Irene Spencer gripped the fruit knife tightly.
She actually knew?
Nathan Leafcastle listened to Vera’s words, also revealing a look of astonishnt.
"Vera, this... what on earth is going on?"
