NOVPUBChapter 872: 427 Let go_3 Chapter 872: 427 Let go_3 Jenny Linggo figured she was being made the scapegoat by the tearoom staff, causing her to feel a mix of anger and resentment.
Silvia Hayes sneered, “Keep playing innocent.
I want to see how long you can keep up with this act.”
Between sobs, Jenny Linggo exclaimed, “Silvia Hayes, you’re really accusing me wrongly.
I didn’t do it.
If you don’t believe me, I’ll call the manager to confront me here.”
Silvia Hayes scornfully replied, “Enough with your tears.
I’m not falling for it.
I haven’t finished dealing with you about today’s incident yet.
... 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
I’ll settle scores with you later.” She then grabbed her bag and left hastily.
Jenny Linggo cursed under her breath, “Who do you think you are without the backing of the Rintos?
Dare to confront Aubree Groove?
See if Master McKay doesn’t skin you alive.”
Silvia Hayes’s mother, Guele Rinto, had already lost her influence in the Rinto family.
Now, her biggest support was her cousin, Agave Rinto.
However, everyone in Pethkids knew that Agave Rinto cherished his young Auntie, Aubree Groove, more.
Although it seemed abnormal to express affection towards an elder, Aubree Groove happened to be younger than Silvia Hayes.
And given that Agave Rinto was pleased, no one could object.
Jenny Linggo gritted her teeth in frustration, “I’ll see how much longer you can continue being so domineering.”
After exiting the tearoom, Silvia Hayes dialed Anton Cook’s number, which went unanswered.
Ten minutes later, a text message came through.
They agreed to meet at the Oncoe Building.
It was hard to book a reservation at the Oncoe Building, but it provided guaranteed privacy.
By the time Silvia Hayes arrived at the private room in the Oncoe Building, it was already half past eight.
Anton Cook had already finished a pot of tea.
Silvia Hayes knelt down opposite to him, “As expected of Mr.
Cook, you could even reserve a spot at Oncoe Building.”
As far as she knew, one had to book half a month in advance at the Oncoe Building, even her cousin’s influence wouldn’t work.
The fact that Anton Cook could book a room on short notice was a testament to his powerful identity.
Anton Cook, without lifting his gaze, said flatly, “Where is the thing?”
Silvia Hayes flashed him a smile, “Mr.
Cook, don’t be in such a hurry.
I wonder if you could give me what I want.”
“You want what?” Anton Cook raised his eyebrows.
“You.” Silvia Hayes curved her crimson lips slightly.
Anton Cook snorted coldly, “In your dreams.”
She shot him an annoyed glance, “Mr.
Cook, you really have no sense of humor.
It was just a joke.”
Anton Cook drew a deep breath, “Stop babbling.
I don’t have time to waste.”
Silvia Hayes swept back a curl, the hint of a shine in her eyes, and laughed, “I want the other half of the Green Dragon Order.”
“Sorry, but I think you’ve got the wrong person.”
“Mr.
Cook, all the information you want about Marshella Yates is here.” Silvia Hayes took a USB flash drive out of her bag and pushed it towards Anton Cook.
Silvia Hayes stared at the young man opposite her, her lips slightly parted, “The last person in this world to have seen Marshella Yates, it’s you, Mr.
Cook.”
The Cooks wanted to cover up what happened that year, but unfortunately, there were no secrets in the world that couldn’t be exposed eventually.
The last person to have seen Marshella Yates, was Anton Cook, who was mistakenly kidnapped by Pindo Rinto when he was just six years old.
Otherwise, Anton Cook wouldn’t have been trying to track down Marshella Yates.
This conclusion was drawn by Silvia Hayes herself.
Even though she wasn’t sure if Anton Cook truly knew the whereabouts of the Green Dragon Order, given his influential status, there wasn’t anything that could stop him.
Anton Cook’s gaze was icy and sharp, slowly sizing up Silvia Hayes’ face.
Silvia Hayes maintained her smile and calmly suggested, “Mr.
Cook, why don’t we collaborate?
I can tell you everything about Marshella Yates’s time at Rinto’s, but I’ll need your help in obtaining the Green Dragon Order.
Then, The Rintos will surely be a great asset for you.”
Anton Cook picked up the USB flash drive and shot her a mocking glance, laughing coldly, “Just one Agave Rinto from the Rinto family is enough.”
Silvia Hayes raised an eyebrow, “Speaking of my cousin, from what I know, he’s been very protective of Aubree Groove, almost as if she were the apple of his eye.
That’s quite abnormal.
My cousin has always been indifferent to public opinion.
Aubree Groove, such a unique beauty, wasn’t even Pindo Rinto’s daughter when my cousin first met her…”
Noticing the deepening scowl on Anton Cook’s face, Silvia Hayes continued to add fuel to the fire.
“My cousin now has whatever he wants, enjoying his time of prosperity.
He has feelings for Aubree Groove, who lives and shares every meal with him.
It’s inevitable for sparks to fly between young men and women.
Even your devoted love has been wasted, and I feel sorry for you.”
“Enough.” Anton Cook slammed his fist on the table, his face dark and solemn.
He glared at Silvia Hayes, “Ms.
Hayes, be careful not to get burnt while playing with fire.”
Leaving no more words, Anton Cook rose from his seat and left, not even casting a glance at Silvia Hayes.
Silvia Hayes curled her lips in amusement, “That’s something you don’t need to worry about, Mr.
Cook.”
Marshella Yates, just how many mysteries have you left behind?
I am becoming more and more curious about you.
Silvia Hayes took a sip of tea and smirked, “The Da Hong Pao tea at Oncoe Building is indeed less delightful compared to our Rinto family’s Sencha Tea.”
