Chapter94
Leonard paused for a moment, then continued cluelessly.
“Roderick, have you gone soft?”
“Don’t forget, her mother is the one who killed your mother! Being kind to the enemy’s daughter is like disrespecting your own mother!”
The scene suddenly fell into dead silence.
Roderick’s neck veins bulged, grabbing Leonard’s collar.
“I know what I did, don’t blame me for not being merciful if you bring it up again.”
Leonard was choked until his face turned purple, and he made intermittent pleas for mercy in his throat.
The people around me rushed over, all talking at once trying to calm me down.
“Roderick, calm down!”
“Leonard got drunk and started talking nonsense!”
The laughter in the banquet hall suddenly stopped, everyone fell silent, looking at each other in shock.
The phone vibrated in the inner pocket of the suit.
Roderick took out his phone, the text message made his pupils dilate.
It’s Andie’s number, the last message was one hour ago.

“Roderick, let’s break up, I never loved you.”
“It’s impossible…”
He immediately called back, but the only response he got was a cold mechanical female voice.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently switched off…”
Roderick loosened his tie, his temples throbbing with anger.
He held onto the last glimmer of hope, tried to reach her through WhatsApp, Twitter, and even the long–abandoned email, but couldn’t get in touch with her.
It’s like she completely disappeared from his world.
“Andie, you’re so heartless…”
He muttered to himself, suddenly remembered something, and immediately opened his private album.
Sure enough, it was empty inside.
Their passionate fusion, their kiss on the ski slope, and her sleeping profile were all wiped out.
“She already knew.”
A bitter smile crept onto the corner of Roderick’s lips.
No wonder she’s been acting so strange lately, turns out there’s a reason behind it all.
They threw away the stuffed animal they caught together, cleared out the couple items that belonged to both of them, and resisted his intimacy.

Leonard saw his bad complexion and went closer for a look.
“Was Roderick playing a prank on Andie?“”
Roderick suddenly grabbed his friend’s shoulder, his voice trembling with a fear he didn’t even realize.
“Hurry up!”
“Help me check her flight information, bank card transaction records, and…” he struggled to swallow, “check every possible channel to find her.”
Roderick sat on the steps covered with roses, his USB drive burning in his pocket.
He stayed up for three nights editing the confession video, but now it’s like a red–hot branding iron.
The originally carefully designed “reveal the truth” segment has long been replaced by sweet moments since they met, and even ended with hidden marriage vows.
But these belated sincerity, in the end, still lost to his past evil.
As the atmosphere froze, Matilda walked in with her 10–centimeter stilettos.
She swept the mess on the floor.
“Roderick, how did the birthday party decorations get so messy?”
Roderick suddenly realized, rushed forward, and grabbed Matilda’s delicate neck with a big hand.
“Was it your doing? When did you guys plan this? Where did Andie?”

“Roderick, you hurt me…”
Matilda’s eyelashes trembled as tears rolled down her face, looking
innocent.
“Why can’t I understand what you’re saying? Didn’t Andrea come back first?”
“Stop showing off!”
Roderick tightened his grip.
“Did you take her to the ski resort on purpose to get away from my control?”
“I didn’t! Roderick, you really hurt me!”
As soon as the words fell, Caroline suddenly screamed and lunged at Roderick, pulling his arm.
“You let go of my daughter! Roderick, how could you hurt Matilda like this!”
