Secrets Of The Neglected Wife

Chapter 863:

Verruckt, noticing Kylo’s resolute expression, narrowed his eyes and glanced toward the floor above.

“Let’s strike a deal,” he suggested, his tone sharp. “Give me the woman on the deck, and I’ll act like none of this ever took place.”

Kylo responded with a scornful chuckle.

Of everyone present that night, Allison was the one person he couldn’t afford to lose.

“Too bad,” Kylo replied flatly. “The person you want isn’t here.”noveldrama

His smirk faded abruptly.

The air between them turned frigid, carrying the weight of unspoken tension like a biting winter draft. The charged atmosphere crackled, as though the smallest spark could ignite a storm.

Neither side showed any sign of giving in as their silent standoff continued.

Verruckt hesitated, clearly weighing whether he should ask his men to forcefully break through and search all the rooms. Before he could act, a voice behind him murmured, “Mr. Shaw, Mr. Onett wants to see you.”

Kylo caught the exchange and idly turned the ring on his finger, his movements calm and deliberate.

“Seems like you’ve got other business to take care of today,” he remarked casually.

Verruckt’s face remained unreadable as he replied, “Mr. Vargas, we’ll cross paths again.”

With that, he signaled for his men to leave.

Kylo offered a faint, almost cordial smile. “Take care,” he said lightly.

It wasn’t until Verruckt and his crew had exited the casino that Kylo’s smile finally faded.

He understood the risk he had taken.

If Verruckt had chosen to escalate things, the result would have been a bloody confrontation.

But for now, he had managed to come out on top.

Andres, his tone uneasy, spoke up. “Mr. Vargas, after crossing them, I’m worried this could spill over. Not just…”

here in Vrining, but our casino in Muisvedo might end up caught in the mess too.”

Kylo remained calm, his voice steady as he responded. “1t doesn’t matter.” He let his eyes sweep across the room. “0ur casino has never been a place for peace. We’ve always dealt with threats — both out in the open and lurking in the shadows.”

His gaze shifted thoughtfully toward the direction of Allison’s room.

From the way Verruckt had acted earlier, Kylo couldn’t shake the sense that the man had a strange, almost obsessive interest in her.

How on earth had she ended up tangled with someone like that?
