Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 1091 - 1093: Someone Must Be Behind This (Part 1)

An uneasy suspicion gnawed at him, wondering if he had discovered anything.

At the end of the corridor, Charles stood facing the window, giving a sidelong glance at Korea standing beside him. In a cold voice, he said to her, "Korea, even though you were groomed by Uncle, my son is what’s most important to me. As long as I’m alive, no one can harm him, not even you..."

As he spoke, he turned his head to face Korea directly, his eyes, capable of seeing through everything, fixed on her face, which was so tense it had turned a bit pale.

In this world, she could shoot someone without fear showing on her face, but only Charles could make her feel fear.

She tried hard, doing her best to remain calm, meeting Charles’ gaze with a blank look, "I don’t understand what Uncle means." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Her reaction already assured Charles that there was a guilty conscience within her.

Not mentioning the car accident, but she certainly had done something against his orders.

"I hope you truly don’t understand." Charles said, then looked out the window again, "I value you so much, you shouldn’t disappoint me."

He never mentioned what he knew or why he was angry with her. Korea was at a loss, and after deliberating for a while, she chose to act aggrieved, "Uncle, I don’t know what misunderstanding you have, but I’ve always acted according to your instructions."

She lowered her head, looking very aggrieved.

Charles didn’t look at her, his gaze remained fixed outside the window, "Go back and properly complete the tasks I’ve given you, you’re not needed here anymore."

Upon hearing she wasn’t needed here to take care of Ji Chicheng anymore, Korea couldn’t accept it. She lifted her head, staring at Charles in shock, "Uncle, why?"

"Do you want me to repeat it a second time?" Charles frowned, his face briefly flashed with coldness.

Korea dared not question further, immediately lowering her head again.

Her hands trembled, but she dared not even clench them into fists.

"Yes!"

After a long while, she managed to suppress her unwillingness for the moment, nodding at Charles before turning to leave.

Walking quickly, her steps clearly carried emotions.

Charles turned his head, watching Korea walk away, his eyes revealed a trace of helplessness.

Korea, if it really is you, it can only be said that it’s truly regrettable.

Once Korea’s figure completely disappeared from his sight, he reached out to Willis.

Willis immediately recalled and handed the phone to him.

Charles took the phone and dialed a number.

"The car involved in the accident had been tampered with beforehand, with both the handbrake, footbrake, and accelerator failing. Clues must be found on that stretch of road, and I want a conclusion within twenty-four hours."

...

After pacing the corridor twice, Ji Anning returned to the ward and heard her phone ringing.

The phone was on the coffee table, and she quickly went over. The caller ID showed Assistant Wu, so she immediately picked it up to answer, "Hello, Assistant Wu."

Assistant Wu said, "Miss Anning, Korea has returned to the company."

Upon hearing this, a cold smile flashed in Ji Anning’s eyes. She then instructed Assistant Wu, "Have someone keep an eye on her."

Now that Korea has returned, Xiang Yiqing should have already arrived in Country M.

Thinking of this, Ji Anning hurriedly dialed Xiang Yiqing’s number and, to reduce radiation, she pressed the speakerphone and placed the phone on the coffee table.
