Chapter 1052


    At the word, ine''s footsteps gradually stopped.


    The entire hall, too, was instantly quiet, exchanging nces with each other.


    At this point, they all turned their attention to Franklin, as if they wanted to hear what he would say.


    Franklin''s face was taut and he did not speak for a moment.


    At this time, a cold voice rang out, breaking the eerie silence: "ine,e here."


    The crowd raised their eyes tofind that the voice came from the man next to Franklin, Darnell.


    He stood there with an upright figure, his eyebrows were bitterly cold, and coldness emanated from all


    around him.


    Just a look, it calls for a daunting look.


    ine looked over at him with her hands gripping her skirt at her side, her mouth open and her face a


    little white.


    She wanted to go over, but for some reason, her feet seemed to be filled with lead, so heavy she


    couldn''t lift them.


    Caesar saw this and the smile on his face widened: "ine, don''t you really want to know the truth,


    don''t you want to know what kind of person this father who loved you so much was, and why he killed


    your mother?"


    ine closed her eyes slightly, took a breath and turned her head to Caesar: "Uncle Caesar, I don''t


    know what you are trying to say, all I know is that I have lived with my father for more than twenty


    years, no one knows him better than I do, and no one can nder him from me. If it was really like you


    say, my father is the kind of person you say, you would have used this as a handle to ckmail him


    long ago, instead of being here in front of everyone and insisting on telling me the truth."


    There are many people who came to the birthday banquet today, each with a distinguished status, and


    word of tonight''s events spread, even if it is confirmed that Caesar is nonsense, but the impact has


    been created.


    The smile on Caesar''s face remained the same: "ine, you have indeed grown up, but what am I


    going to hold him hostage for, all I want is for him to lose his reputation in front of everyone, just like


    me."


    ine shook her head gently: "Uncle Caesar, you want a lot, if you just wanted my father to lose his


    reputation, you would have gone to a press conference, that would have achieved the effect you


    wanted."


    Caesar''s eyes narrowed and he looked at her for a few seconds before saying, "You''re right, you''re still


    thinking ahead."


    ine pursed her lips gently, then turned back to walk quickly in the direction of her dad and Darnell.

    Franklin gave her an approving look, then turned toward the crowd and said, "Everyone, I have family


    business to attend to today, so that''s the end of the birthday party."


    This statement, some people have the sense to leave, some people stand still, it seems to want to wait


    and see again.


    About what Caesar said, it must not be empty, there must be more secrets.


    As more and more people left, ine suddenly felt her hand being held.


    The next second, she was led out of the ce.


    When you get out of the hall, the side entrance is so quietpared to the noisy hall that you can hear


    the wind blowing the leaves.


    ine tugged on his sleeve, "Where are we going."


    Darnell stopped and turned to look at her, "I''ll go with you wherever you want to go."


    ine whispered, "I want to go back to my dad."


    Darnell said, "He doesn''t have time to see you right now."


    "I know, but I ......"


    "ine," Darnell said slowly, "you don''t have to take what Caesar says seriously or take it to heart."


    ine nodded gently, "Uncle Caesar he ...... he obviously came from a bad ce this time, he also


    once told me ...... that... ..."


    Darnell said, "What was said?"


    ine hung her head: "He said that as soon as I left Riverside City, the next time I''de back would


    be for my dad''s funeral."


    Saying that, her voice choked a bit uncontrobly.


    Darnell pulled her into a hug and patted her back, saying nothing.


    After a while, ine calmed down a bit before she said, "My dad, he''ll be fine, right ......"


    There was a note of caution in his tone.


    Halfway through the day, Darnell said, "No."


    He let go of ine, retook her hand, and struck out.


    Outside the side door, a car was parked.


    Darnell pulled open the back seat door, let her sit in, wiped the tear stains from her face and whispered,


    "ine, get out of here first, I''lle pick you up after a while."


    "Don''t, I ......"


    Before she could say anything, the car door was closed.


    ine rapped hard on the door and cried, "I don''t want to go, you guys left me behind again, I want to


    go to my dad ......"


    Just as ine was crying her heart out and desperate, a faint male voice came from next to her, "Shut


    up."


    ine froze, turned her head to look at the man sitting next to her, and didn''t cry, a sob.


    rence nced at her, "My daughter isn''t even as loud as you are."


    ine deted her mouth, aggrieved: "But my dad ......"


    rence lifted his wrist to check the time and instructed, "Let''s go."


    ine thought about it and suddenly saw a glimmer of hope, she picked rence''s arm: "Did Darnell


    ask you to pick me up, so if that''s the case, you should have already nned it, my dad will be fine!"


    rence calmly turned his head: "Don''t have such high expectations of me, I''m only responsible for


    getting you to City N."


    "But ......" ine frowned and made a small request, "I want to see my dad one more time, just one


    more time, please, I know you must have a way! "


    rence was unmoved.


    ine finally made the killer move: "Uncle? You''re my real uncle!"


    rence: "......"


    ine continued: "I will never badmouth you in front of my sister, I will praise you every day, three


    times a day!"


    rence said, "It seems you''ve said a lot of bad things about me."


    ine was speechless for a moment, not expecting to be exposed like that.


    She was just about to speak again when rence said, "Don''t Darnell find you annoying when you talk


    so much?"


    ine sat back in defeat, and sure enough, she should not count on rence.


    Just as she was lost, rence had opened the car door and was standing outside the car, "What are


    you still sitting there for, waiting for me to treat you?"


    ine sniffed, her eyes instantly lit up and she hurriedly got out of the car.


    But she and rence had only gone a few steps when a gunshot from inside cut through the night air.


    ine looked startled and hurriedly lifted her skirt and ran over.


    rence frowned slightly and turned to look at Nathan, who immediately understood and quickly


    followed behind ine.


    ine ran to the garden in one breath, the guests had already gone, only the cold white light shining on


    the ground, no longer the daytime bustle.


    ine gasped for breath, all with a cold evening breeze.


    She held her breath and walked in quickly.
