Chapter 424


    I knew exactly why he''de back waiting for me.


    Without missing a beat, I casually replied, "We had a lot to catch up!"


    He reached out to pull me towards him, but I dodged, asking icily, "What do you want?"


    Jan chuckled awkwardly, "Well, I... I just wanted to exin a few things to you."


    "Exin what?" I pretended to be unaffected and turned to Hannah, "Hey Hannah, could you run me a


    bath? I need to soak the bad vibes away." I intentionally said this to set a certain tone, then I slumped


    into the couch, feigning exhaustion.


    Jan scooted closer, "When did you get back? I would''ve picked you up if you told me earlier!"


    I smiled at him wryly, "Please, I wouldn''t want to trouble you."


    "Honey, don''t talk like that, I... I actually just bumped into Renata by chance!" That was hisme


    attempt at an exnation.


    "You bumped into each other and got a room? Quite spontaneous, aren’t you?" I scoffed. "Since when


    do you live so freely?"


    He had the audacity to say with a straight face, "Nothing happened, okay?"


    "Really? You did nothing with Renata, so what did you do?" My gaze was sharp, pressing, "Want to go


    over it again with the cops?"


    "Allie, don''t be like that!” Clearly, my words struck a nerve with Jan, and his tone soured, yet he still


    yed innocent, "I just wanted to know when you got back. Why do you have to be so


    confrontational?"


    "Confrontational? You guys hurt Catherine and act like nothing''s wrong. You think I can just let that


    slide? Don’t pretend you don’t know she’s missing. Of course, I had toe back." I didn''t bother


    hiding my anger anymore. There was no point in ying polite.


    "Allie, her getting hurt has nothing to do with me!" Jan desperately defended himself, "Don''t pin


    everything on me! I''m your husband, remember?"


    "Husband?" Iughed derisively, "Some husband you are, caught in the act at motels. What a p in


    the face for me!" I pointed at my own cheek for emphasis, "It really hurts, you know!"


    "But it really has nothing to do with me!" He insisted helplessly.


    "We''ll let the police decide if it involves you or not. But sharing a hotel room? You can''t deny that.


    Unless you were out?" I kept my eyes locked on him.


    His face twitched, and after a long moment, he begrudgingly gave a sycophantic smile, "Alright, no


    more arguing. I won''t exin anymore, okay? It just makes you mad. You''re not well; don''t upset

    yourself."


    "Thanks, but no need for your concern. I owe my robust health to your ''kindness.'' But don''t worry, I''ve


    got fortune on my side, so those life insurance ns of yours are useless. Who knows who''ll bite the


    dust first?" I said, standing up to leave. I didn’t want to spend another second with this walking disaster.


    Jan grabbed me as I turned to go, "Honey, don''t leave. I have something else to say."


    I shook off his grasp, "Speak up, and keep your hands to yourself!"


    Rubbing my sore wrist, I red at him fiercely.


    I snorted dismissively, looking down at him with disdain, "What now?"

    I burst outughing inwardly. This was the real reason he was here, not some coincidence.


    I leaned in close, my voice ice-cold, "Don''t even think about it."
