Chapter 224 You Bastard (2/2)

Ignoring the mockery in Albert's tone, John repeated through gritted teeth, ”I will go with her.”

He turned to face Nina and said, ”I won't let you talk to him alone. Either he talks to both of us or he doesn't talk to anyone at all.”

A sense of oppression hung in the air like storm clouds about to burst.

A stiff smile formed on Albert's face. ”Fine. No talk then.”

He turned around and was about to leave, but Nina stopped him. ”Wait.”

Albert smiled smugly.

He had expected that Nina would compromise.

John was a tough guy, but Nina was not.

John once threatened her using Michelle, and she instantly yielded. She always compromised for those dear to her.

”Very well. Follow me.” Then, Albert turned on his heel and left.

Nina stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of John's mouth before following Albert out.

As the door swung shut and Nina's figure disappeared behind it, John's left eyelid twitched. He felt his heart sink and his palms turn cold.

He knitted his brows.

Even if Nina flashed him a reassuring smile before heading out, he did not feel at ease at all.
