Chapter 316


    “Have a good talk?” Eric sneered. “Does he look like he wants to have a good talk with me?”


    Alda looked at Corey with a frown. “Corey, you’re always so straightforward…”


    Corey showed a fake smile. “You don’t need to pretend to be a good person here.”


    “Listen to what he just said!” Eric said, “His words are all very harsh. Why should Ie here to be


    pissed by him?”


    After saying that, Eric turned around and was about to leave. Alda pulled him back and said, “Alright,


    alright, Eric. Corey is your own son. It’s not appropriate for you two to remain in a deadlock like this.


    You need to interact more and be together more often before you can…”


    Corey waspletely impatient. “What are you doing here?”


    Alda smiled and said, “Didn’t I tell you? You haven’t been home for a long time. Your father and I came


    to see you, and we also came to see the Peggie…”


    Her gazended on Crystal. The expression in her eyes at that moment made Crystal very


    ufortable. However, Alda’s tone was gentle. “Is this… your girlfriend?”


    When Eric heard this, he also began to size up Crystal.


    “No,” Corey replied coldly.


    Alda said, “I didn’t see you bring a girl to Pina Garden before. It’s time for you to have a girlfriend. Why


    are you hiding it from the family?”


    She seemed to be one or two years younger than Corey, but she spoke like an elder. Those who didn’t


    know her would really think that she was Corey’s biological mother.


    Corey frowned and his eyes were full of impatience. If it had been in the past, he would have been


    angry at this time. However, considering that Crystal, who was as timid as a rabbit, was here today, he


    suppressed his temper and said, “Does it have anything to do with you whether she is my girlfriend or


    not?”


    Alda said, “If she’s your girlfriend, you have to introduce her to us. Today, both your father and I are


    here… Why don’t we have a meal together? We can get to know each other.”


    She looked at Crystal and said softly, “Miss, what do you think?”


    Crystal was confused.


    “For what?” Corey said coldly. He grabbed Crystal’s arm and said, “You should go back now.”


    Just as Crystal was about to pass the leash to him, Eric suddenly said, “How many times have I told


    you not to refuse Alda’s request? Do you still want to know where Felicia is?”


    Almost as soon as the name “Felicia” came out, Corey tensed up visibly.

    Crystal remembered that Corey had said that Peggie was a stray cat that his younger sister had


    brought back. Felicia… was his younger sister’s name, right?


    “You’ve been keeping me in the dark for so many years. If you can’t exin yourself…” Corey’s eyes


    were fierce. “I will definitely peel off your skin and tear off your bones. I will make you regret what


    you’ve done in Hell!*


    The Coombs family was nowpletely under Corey’s control. Eric could only be arrogant in front of


    Corey because he knew Felicia’s whereabouts. When he heard Corey’s words, he shuddered


    subconsciously. However, he quickly asked, “Is this how you should talk to your father?!”


    Crystal had felt that the young masters of the Evans family and Daxton did not look like father and


    sons. Now, it seemed that the sons of the Evans family were very filial ifpared to Corey when he


    dealt with Eric. They seemed as if they would tear apart each other’s skin and bones in no time. “Ah.”


    Alda tried to mediate, “Stop arguing… Why don’t we have a meal here? Ask the servants to prepare


    the food. I haven’t eaten here before. I wonder how good the cook’s cooking skills are.”
