Chapter 264 You are concerned about Miles
After Matilda entered the room, she waited for a long time before seeing the door of the room opened.
River led a dark-skinned man in.
That man looked very different from the usual people she saw.
Matilda''s attention was immediately drawn to him.
At the same time, there was also a voice in her heart telling Matilda who this person might be.
Her gaze fell on that man''s face for a split second. If it weren''t for theck of admiration in her eyes,
people would think that she had some unreasonable thoughts.
At least, from River''s point of view, that was how dumbfounding it was.
River coughed lightly, as if to tell Matilda to calm down a bit, restrain herself, and stop staring at him so
fiercely.
However, Matilda waspletely caught up in her own guessing now, and didn''t pay attention to
River''s meaning at all.
River was speechless and could only speak out, "Miss Duncan, this is Rupert Benton."
Matilda looked at River, waiting for him to introduce Rupert''s identity.
However, River stopped at this point, and had no intention of continuing.
Matilda''s brows became even tighter, and she had already scolded River in her heart how could this
person be so tantalizing?
Sensing Matilda''s deep displeasure, River sighed silently.
She was such a beautiful woman. Why was she so impatient?

He said, "Miss Duncan, Rupert is the person who contacts the people in Veggia. If you have any
questions, you can ask him."
Finally, River talked about the topic Matilda cared about.
She looked at Rupert, thinking about how to speak.
Before Matilda could speak, Rupert went to speak first and said, "I don''t know too many things for the
time being. I can only tell you that your friend will not be in danger."
Matilda was stunned for a moment. Sensing Rupert''s determination, she finally rxed a lot.
She asked, "Mr. Benton, can you contact them now?"
She still wanted to speak to Aimee, so that, at least, she could really be sure of Aimee''s safety.
However, after hearing her words, Rupert said directly, "Sorry, Miss Duncan. I can''t do this."
Matilda felt a little dazed for a moment. What did this mean?
Why did she feel that she couldn''t understand?
Rupert saw her doubts and exined, "Veggia does not havemunication devices such as mobile
phones. They rely on special contact methods tomunicate, so there is a long timeg in the
transmission of news."
This was no surprise to Matilda.
If the people in Veggia can be contacted by modern technology, it wouldn''t happen that there was no
signal from Aimee until now.
However, if this was the case, how did Rupert know that Aimee was safe?
Matilda asked the question in her heart, and Rupert smiled and said, "Miss Read is an old
acquaintance of the vige head. He has been paying attention to her, so naturally he will not do
anything dangerous to her."
Rupert''s words not only surprised Matilda, but even River couldn''t help raising his brows lightly when
he heard the words. His eyes were full of doubts that could not be concealed.
Rupert said, "Miss Read''s teacher has a deep rtion with Veggia. The vige head has always paid
attention to her teacher. By the way, they have paid attention to Miss Read."
Matilda asked suspiciously, "So, Mr. Benton, you mean, Aimee''s teacher is actually from Veggia?"
"No," Rupert said, "more urately, he''s Veggia''s enemy."
Matilda''s heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she, who had calmed down a little, became
tense again at this moment.
Aimee''s teacher was Veggia''s enemy. She was the enemy''s apprentice. But she went there directly,
can she still be treated well?
How was this possible?
Rupert knew what Matilda was thinking and said, "I can assure you that she will not be in any danger."
Matilda obviously didn''t believe it, and now she was even more worried.
Seeing this, Rupert had no choice but to exin to Matilda where Aimee was.
Since Aimee became Joel''s apprentice, the focus of Lorenzo had unconsciously be Aimee.
Even the change in Aimee''s physique was deeply rted to Veggia.
It can be said that Lorenzo cared more about Aimee than even his own daughter.
In this case, Rupert can say with certainty that Aimee will never encounter any danger when she
arrived at Veggia.
Matilda was even more puzzled by Rupert''s exnation.
ording to his meaning, the vige head simply regarded Aimee as a very important person.
But why?
There was simply no reasonable exnation for this.
However, Rupert had no way to exin Matilda''s doubts.
Because he couldn''t figure out Lorenzo''s thoughts at all, and he was not qualified to ask.
He also had the same question as Matilda. Why Lorenzo would care so much about Aimee, instead
leaving his own daughter to suffer outside?
Matilda finally realized that there was only so much information she could get from Rupert.
The rest can only be left to time. And she had to patiently wait for Aimee''s safe return.
She had no other choice now, but can only believe Rupert''s words, and believe that Aimee will not be
in danger.
In this way, Matilda finally felt relieved.
Rupert didn''t stay long, and after talking to Matilda, he left.
Matilda realized a very serious problem. How did River know that she was worried about Aimee?
Moreover, what was the rtionship between River and Rupert?
Why Rupert''s attitude towards him would be so wonderful?
After sending Rupert away, River returned to the room.
As soon as he entered, he met Matilda''s probing eyes.
No need to ask, he knew what Matilda was wondering about.
He smiled and said, "Do you doubt me? Think I''m spying on your friend?"
Matilda didn''t make a sound, but wanted to admit that River was right.
Indeed, she thought so.
River found it both funny and annoying and said, "Perhaps, you can exin to me, what good does it
do me?"
Matilda said, "You may have no reason to treat Aimee like this, but Aimee is Patrick''s wife after all. In
terms of your rtionship with the Hayden family, it is reasonable to do so."
"So, you''re thinking that I''m paying too much attention to Patrick?" River chuckled with a yful tone,
as if mocking Matilda''s naivety.
Matilda said, "Or, you are concerned about Miles."
When River heard this, he couldn''t helpughing.
He looked at Matilda and became a little more speechless.
He said, "The person sitting here now should be him, not you."
Matilda choked, and couldn''t find a rebuttal for a long time.
Yes, if that was the case, it won''t be her turn.
Thinking of this, Matilda looked at River more probingly.
She asked, "So, you''re telling me that you did me a favor?"
River chuckled, and said, "If you think so, there seems to be no problem."
Matilda''s heart skipped a beat, but she didn''t continue to speak.
Inexplicably, there was a feeling that she had fallen into a trap.
It was not a good thing to owe River a favor.
It must not be an easy thing to return to him in the future.
But, though Matilda was aware of it now, there was nothing else she could do. It had happened, and
she had fallen into River''s trap.
Matilda grinned, barely giving River a thumbs up.
There was no such thing as a pie in the sky.
River''s n was indeed beautiful.
Matilda said, "Mr. Knight, if there is anything you need in the future, please don''t make things difficult
for me."
Riverughed lowly, and became more interested in her.
He lit a cigarette, put it in his mouth and took a puff. And immediately, there was a smoke ring, making
him blurred and sexy.
At any other time, Matilda would have thought this man was really attractive.
However, at this moment, she only felt he was dangerous.
After being silent for a long while, River said to Matilda, "Don''t worry, Miss Duncan. I won''t force
anyone to do anything."
