Chapter 163: Chapter 164

Chapter 164 A Mistake You Made As a member of the elite, Danna was arrogant and fearless. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had the courage to do what she did five years ago.

Therefore, she was satisfied to see that Arissa knew her place.

“Relax, I won’t kill you, but I can make you suffer. As long as you make yourself scarce after taking my money, I will take good care of Gavin.”

All the while, Arissa sniggered internally.

I wonder what gave her such confidence. Gavin is already showing signs of autism due to her mistreatment. I doubt she would take care of him.

Gavin would have a hard time surviving under her care.

“I will not leave here yet.”

I returned for an investigation, so I won’t leave before uncovering the truth.

The moment Danna heard that, her face fell. “You lied to me!”

“Oh, I wouldn’t dare. You have the Adams family’s backing, so you have no reason to feel threatened by someone like me.”

Arissa eyed Danna derisively.

At the same time, Danna chuckled in contempt. “You must be joking, Arissa. Why would I be afraid of you?”

“Were you the one who drugged me five years ago?”

Arissa interrogated Danna because she wanted to find out when exactly the latter had started plotting against her.

Frowning in disdain, Danna gave Arissa a once-over.

“Do you think I drugged you so that you could sleep with Benjamin? Do I look like an idiot to you?”

Actually, she had drugged Benjamin that night just so she could sleep with him, but Arissa ended up doing just that.

Arissa was startled by Danna’s expression.

“It wasn’t you?”

“Haha!”

Danna stared at Arissa with contempt. “Wow, you don’t even know who drugged you. You must have poor connections.”

There was a sullen look on Arissa’s face. If it’s not her, then... could it be them?

She thought of someone in particular, and immediately felt a sting in her heart.

“To be honest, I had no qualms about you sleeping with Benjamin. However, you got pregnant because of that one night, so I had no choice but to...”

After the brief explanation, Danna took a sip of her coffee.

It wasn’t until much later when she bumped into Arissa at the hospital that she got the idea to lock the woman up.

If she had known that Benjamin wouldn’t marry Arissa even if she had given birth to his children, she wouldn’t have committed the atrocities.

There was no going back.

“If you wish for your children’s safety, you should leave here immediately!”

Leaning in, she warned Arissa smilingly.

Hatred flashed across Arissa’s eyes. She grabbed Danna’s hair and smashed her head on the table.

Danna felt dizzy after the impact. She did not expect Arissa would resort to violence.

The cups clinked as they rolled off the table and onto the floor. The noises attracted the attention of the people around them.

Arissa only released Danna after she pounded her a few more times.

Furiously, she cautioned Danna, “Don’t even think that I will remain complacent. If you lay a finger on my children, I will make you pay dearly!”

Danna cowered upon meeting Arissa’s fiery gaze.

She quickly recalled that Arissa didn’t have any backing. As soon as Danna regained her composure, she splashed the contents of her cup on her.

“Arissa!”

Arissa had expected this. She was able to duck in time, but she still got some coffee on her.

The More the Merrier Chapter 163 EX-husband Groveling to Me Chapter 730 Let Victor Shoot For You Regardless, she fared way better than Danna.

Danna pounced. She wanted to fight Arissa, but Ethen came between them just in time.

“Are you all right, Ms. York?”

Seeing Ethen, Danna’s expression shifted as she checked her surroundings.

Is Benjamin here too?

“Why are you here?” she asked Ethen.

“Ms. Adams.”

Ethen nodded. “I happen to be dining here.”

Danna’s gaze flickered for a second, but she managed to suppress her guilt, knowing that Ethen wouldn’t tell Benjamin about what happened.

“Get out of my way! This woman raised her hand at me! I will teach her a lesson!”

“Calm down. Let’s talk things through. You have an image to maintain. If this makes it to the news, your reputation will be tarnished, Ms. Adams.”

Ethen tried his best to deescalate the situation. Nonetheless, a fight broke out between the two women.

He tried his best to protect Arissa so that Danna wouldn’t get to her. Benjamin had assigned him to do so.

“Ethen, what is the meaning of this?”

Danna glared at Ethen glumly.
