Chapter 507 The One And Only (Part Two)


    "No, l didn''t mean it like that. You just appeared out of nowhere. I was scared." Yakira crouched down


    to pick up her bag. She dusted off the bag, carefully avoiding Leo''s prating gaze. She didn''t dare


    make eye contact with him, fearing that her look might betray her secrets.


    "Scared? Do you seriously expect me to believe that? You went behind my back and secretly took five


    hundred million from somebody. You know I''m not happy about that. But you don''t seem like someone


    who gets scared very easily. How could my words frighten you?"


    Asked Leo with a sneer. He looked at the woman and began to wonder if he had made a mistake to


    trust her. And then his mind went back to the report Luke gave him. He had refused to believe it was


    true, but now he kept thinking that maybe it was not forged after all, that maybe Yakira had nned all


    this and he fell for her trap like a fool.


    "Why do you still believe that? There is no five hundred million! Jonathan Mu made the whole thing up!


    He set me up! He wants to turn us against each other. He wants to avenge the p you gave Daisy.


    Don''t you see what he''s doing?"


    Yakira never dreamed that Jonathan would mention the money again. After all these years, why did he


    try to stir things up now? Hatred for the man ran like poison through her every thought.


    "Of all people, why do you think he chose to set you up? Your defense is a little weak, don''t you think?


    Five hundred million! No wonder Jonathan used me of selling my own daughter. You are indeed a


    good wife! Well done! I''ve never felt so mortified in all my life!"


    Leo gave her a look of deep disgust. All of a sudden her customary heavy makeup seemed almost


    horrifying. He wondered how could she allow herself to be seen like this. And then he thought of Grace,


    who never wore makeup but her look was ever so beautiful and breathtaking. What a pity Grace died


    so young!


    "What are you talking about? Is that true? You took five hundred million to marry Daisy to Edward? I


    can''t believe my ears!"


    Brian closed his eyes and opened again, bitterly disappointed with what he had seen and heard ever


    since he went back home from abroad. These people were his closest family, who should look out for


    each other. But what had they done? They behaved worse than animals. No wonder Daisy didn''t like


    them. If it were him being treated this way, he would dislike them even more.


    "Don''t listen to your father, Brian. There is no five hundred million! You really believe that someone


    would pay that much for Daisy? Don''t make meugh!" Yakira gave her son a nearly obsequious smile,


    trying to please him. But Brian just stared at her with his cold eyes as if he could see into her mind.


    "You think Daisy is not worth five hundred million? You think that''s funny? But to me, Daisy is priceless.


    She is not for sale. I wouldn''t give her away for all the money in the world. She is special, unique, the


    one and only!" Brian didn''t believe what she said. His mother was an expert at deceiving and scheming


    ever since he was a kid. All these years his resentment against her deepened as he discovered more


    and more about her personality.


    "Have you lost your mind? Do you really know who your mother is? It''s me who gave you your life, me


    who raised you! Not the woman called Grace! And how can you treat her daughter like gold and treat


    me like dirt? Has it ever urred to you that I''m a human being, that I can feel pain?"


    Yakira snapped almost before Brian could finish his words. She was in such a fury that she blurted out


    the name she had been avoiding to mention for a very long time.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    "How do you know her name?" Shocked, Leo leaned over and grasped Yakira''s chin tightly. He had


    never talked to her about Grace. How could she know? Was there something else she hid from him?


    "Well… A housekeeper told me. Is her name a taboo? Am I not allowed to mention it?" At this moment


    Yakira finally realized one thing, after all that she had done for Leo, after so many years of being


    together, she was still no match for Grace. Just her name could make Leo lose control. What would he


    do if he found out that she was partly to me for Grace''s death? Would he kill her?


    "Huh! You know what she means to me. If I find out you crossed the line, I will make you suffer. I


    promise you this, you don''t want to feel my wrath."


    It seemed very normal if the housekeepers told Yakira something about Grace. After Grace died, he


    didn''t change the housekeepers, yet Yakira said she was the woman in charge of the house now and


    would need some submissive housekeepers, so slowly she had fired everyone who had been in


    service to Grace. Dismissing some housekeepers was not a big deal and he took no notice. But now as


    he listened to her exnation, he sensed something fishy. Was it possible that deep in his mind he just


    didn''t trust Yakira anymore?
