Chapter 428
A Verma uthered Victor out of the office, she almost collided with Marina and Bette, who were standing right cele Levi’s
door
Victor’s face blanched instantly, and he became a little flustered.
Compared to Victor’s unease, Verena seemed much more composed.
Leo’s office had good acoustic insulation. Therefore, the sounds of their argument inside, including the mention of Daron’s name, would not be audible to people outside.
As Verena wordlessly ushered Victor past the two women, Bette taunted them, “I thought you two would be something special in his eyes. But it seems like you’re not that special after all
Verena’s face twitched a few times, but she didn’t argue with Bette. She simply pulled Victor with her and hurried away.
Bette turned her attention back to Leo’s office. The door was slightly ajar, so she simply walked in. A completely wrecked office interior greeted her eyes.
Leo gave her a side glance glumly. “Are you here to laugh at me?”
Bette shook her head firmly. “Of course not. I don’t find this whole thing funny at all. To be honest, I think all of you are pathetic.
“You spent half your life grooming this son of yours, but in the end, all his achievements can’t even compare to what Daron has already achieved back when he was still in school. This joke is too lame for anyone to laugh at.”
Leo took a deep breath and exhaled loudly. Then he closed his eyes.
All these years, even though he and Daron never really got along, deep down, Daron had always been the son Leo was most proud of.
Ever since Daron ousted him from the Zamora Group, Leo had always felt a degree of bitterness in his heart.
But now that Daron had met with a mishap, that bitterness seemed to have vanished.
Subconsciously, Leo felt a wave of guilt wash over him.
“How’s your younger brother doing now?” Leo asked softly.
“His men have been instructed to keep me away. They won’t let me see him.
“Daron came to grief in Frency. At present, the ones most likely to have evil designs on him are you guys. Is it such a surprise that he has set up such stringent security measures to protect himself against all of you?” Bette said cynically.
Leo’s face turned ferocious instantly, and he retorted, “Bette, how can you suspect me?
“Even a tiger wouldn’t harm its own cubs. I’m human, and I’m his father, no less!”
Bette found Leo’s words downright ironic.
The look of contempt in her eyes finally made Leo snap. “Bette, is that how you look at me now? You really think I’d do something like that?
“All these years, I have also wanted to be a good father. Did any of you ever give me a chance?”

She knew Leo’s gimmicks all too well. This was just another one of his performances
Leo stopped mid–swing and turned to Bette with a deep frown. “Beste, I know you don’t beliear o burs de mesatar 25 show you exactly where I stand.
“No matter who did this to Daron, I won’t let them get away with it.
Bette gave a sarcastic smile. “Oh, really? Then you’d better remember what you just said”
Leo narrowed his eyes. “Bette, Daron has met with an accident. As father and daughter, let’s get our differecon de te moment and work together to resolve this matter.
“Your grandpa has fallen sick, and I’m managing things here in Frency for now. Please go back to Vaudied quickly at the care of him.”
Bette gave a disdainful snort in response. “Do you really want me to go back and look after Grandpa, or are you just hoping I’ll hurry up and get lost so I won’t get in the way of whatever you’re scheming next?”
Leo’s face became contorted with fury once more. *Bette!”
Bette locked eyes with Leo, her gaze frosty and completely devoid of emotion. “I came here for the sole purpose of informing you this. Regardless of whether you are involved in what happened to Daron or not, henceforth, you are the Blanchard family’s eternal enemy.”
Leo’s eyes widened in shock. “Are you going to sever all ties with me?”
A steely glint flashed briefly in the depths of Bette’s eyes. “No, you stopped being my family the day my mother died
“From this day on, we, the Blanchard family, will leave you no chance to rebuild your life.
“My grandpa and I will use all the connections our family has to ruin you until you have nothing left.”
After uttering her ultimatum, Bette did not wait for Leo’s reply. She turned and left without a second glance.
Marina stood watching Leo at the doorway for a while. Thereafter, without saying anything, she followed Bette.
Leo’s furious voice bellowed out from the office. “Bette, do you think I’m afraid of you?”
Bette kept walking, but she answered without turning her head. “I know you’re not afraid. But it won’t be long before you see what the Blanchard family is truly capable of.”
Leo watched her departing figure with gritted teeth.
Bette’s shadow had barely vanished before he received a call from his assistant. “Mr. Zamora, bad news. Someone has just published all the negative things Mr. Victor has done in the past online,” the assistant reported with urgency
Leo’s eyes widened at once. He hung up and immediately opened the message his assistant had sent concurrently.
