Chapter 1255 Desperate Straits



He turned to me curiously.

I looked at him. "This time, Navi has no way out."

"What are you talking about?" He looked at me incredulously. "What do you mean?"

His attitude told me he didn't believe a word I said.

I looked at him, reiterating, "He has nowhere to escape."

"That's impossible! Are you really trying to deceive me?" Suddenly, he seemed to snap out of it.

"Whoever you are, if you think you can fool me or play games with me, just look at what happened to these two." He pointed at the two bodies on the ground.

"Don't think that I have to respect you just because you've got the Huffman family's backing. That's nonsense. Since I left the Huffman family, I have no intention of going back to them."

Tristan sneered at him and said, "Mrs. Chloe, do you see now? He's just a fool. Otherwise, he wouldn't have blindly switched to the dark side. Too much talk leads to mistakes. He's not a truly smart person."

"Say that again, and I'll kill you!" Millard glared at Tristan.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

I looked at Millard and shook my head gently. Standing up, I walked over to Tristan and then addressed Millard, "Then I have nothing more to say. You can do as you please since it has come to this.

"But let me tell you, Navi sending you to attack Atlas means he's already discarded you as expendable. Don't tell me you didn't ambush Atlas's car. Do you know why there was no one in the car?"

I looked at him with disdain, and my tone naturally turned cold.

"Because Atlas had already anticipated this. You're still alive because Atlas let you go so you could deliver the message to Navi."

His sudden change in attitude, now a bit subdued, indicated his discomfort about the topic.

"Your impatience betrayed you. You reported the car plunging into the river, but then you realized no one was in the car, right? If Atlas wanted you dead, do you think you would

QUMS

As I finished speaking, Millard seemed petrified. His gaze toward me was blank. I knew my words had hit him hard.

Judging from the amount of time he took to reach me since Atlas left, he must've realized that Atlas was no longer here to protect me and that I was not in the car earlier. Hence, he came over to this place.

Seeing his reaction, I secretly rejoiced. It seemed my deduction was correct again.

"If Navi really valued and trusted you, would he have sent you to do this? What do you think Atlas is capable of? He's a man who can influence the world with a flick of his finger. Dealing with someone like Navi is child's play for him." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

My tone was quite arrogant, and my gaze toward him showed a hint of mockery.

"Atlas just wants to save my father. Let me clarify this. Rory is the person Navi is holding captive. He is my father and Atlas's father-in-law."

Since we've reached this point and Xavier's plan has already begun, I no longer need to hide anything.

If he still failed to grasp the situation, then there was nothing I could do. As Tristan said, it would be like talking to a brick wall.

"Y-Your father?" Millard was a bit shocked this time, looking at me with a confused expression.
