Chapter 1032 Poor Acting


    Rufus'' POV:


    After sending Crystal back to her new residence, I went to my mother with Beryl who was sleeping in my arms.


    At this time, my subordinate came to me and informed me in a whisper. "Flora seemed to have followed our car to Crystal''s new residence."


    Hearing this, I stopped and said lightly, "Let her be. As long as she doesn’t cause any trouble.”


    My subordinate nodded. "Got it.”


    As soon as I stepped into the hall, my mother came out to wee me. Based on her expression, she must have gotten same information from


    others since she didn''t show any panic. Instead, she quickly came towards me and took Beryl in her arms, pretending to be very grateful that I had


    found her back. She even pretended to be angry as she cursed, "Didn''t expect someone would dare take Beryl away from my room! Who is the


    culprit? We must severely punish him!"


    Her acting was so poor but I didn''t even bother to expose her lie. "It was Crystal.”


    My mother seemed to be stunned for a moment because of my frankness before she lightly said in a guilty tone, "Well, Beryl is her child after all. We


    can''t really me her, can we? I guess she did that because she missed her daughter very much.”


    I didn''t want to watch her poor acting any longer. So, I went straight to the bar counter in the living room and poured myself a ss of water.


    My mother followed behind me with Beryl in her arms. She made a question casually though I could sense the cautiousness in her tone. "Did Crystal


    say anything when you brought Beryl back?"


    I sneered and replied. "What could she say? She sees me now like a mouse sees a cat."


    "What does that mean? Did you two quarrel with each other?" she asked curiously.


    "It''s not just a quarrel. We also had a fight," I responded lightly.


    My mother was very surprised as


    she gasped.* “Howe you had a


    fight? Di deither of you get hurt? Yau


    are not &kid anymore. Why would


    you us￠ that method to solve a>


    problem? Besides, Crystal is just a


    she-wolf. How can you fight against


    Hét?" Content belongs ta


    "Why are you sounding so nervous, mom? It was just a spar. Besides, she won in the end." I couldn''t help but feel a little angry when I thought of


    what Crystal did to defeat me. She tickled me! How dare she do such a thing to her king?


    My mother looked even more confused as she looked at me in bewilderment without a word. After a while, she said, "Well done."


    I questioned her in confusion, "What?"


    "Well, I just think that you are a true gentleman after all." My mother gave me a meaningful smile and continued, "So, do you n to continue to keep


    Beryl?"


    I said, "Well, yes. Crystal is too


    ambitious to be let off lightly. If she


    keeps staying at the border pack, I


    can tell that Sooner orter, she will


    bea headache. Thisiswhy she =~


    needs tost ay here for investigation,


    Since we have her daughter now,


    she dares not run away. Moreover,


    ording to the move she pu led


    this time, it could be seen:that she is


    not only powerful but also does not


    have a sense of reverence for the


    royal family. We have to be vignt


    against such kind of people. Don''t


    worry, Iam already being lenient


    with her. I didn''t even ask any


    guards to watch over or ground her.

    My mother brushed my words off with a light chuckle beforeining. “Even though you said you didn’t send anyone to watch over her, I know


    you secretly instructed your men to spy on her."


    I pretended to be surprised and asked, “Mom, how did you know that?”


    My mother seemed to be caught off guard by my question as she froze for a while, but she quickly found an excuse to fool me. "You are my son. Of


    course, I know you very well."


    I smiled and went along with her. "Maybe you are right, mom. Anyway, my n now is to find an excuse so that I can detain Crystal in the pce


    lawfully. Once my men find evidence that proves her conspiracy crime, I''ll get rid of her."


    After saying this, I paused on purpose to observe my mother''s expression. Unsurprisingly, her face was pale and she looked horrified.


    continued tosay while keeping my


    eye on her faGe, "So, mom, you must


    keep an eyedn Beryl well. After all, —


    she is animportant hostage now AAS


    ong ag-we use her against Crystal


    she wen t think about running. away.


    f shé dares to escape, I wilnake


    sare that she can never see Beryl


    again."


    My mother couldn''t help but roll her eyes. Then, she seemed to want to say something but stopped on a second thought.
