Starting with A Divorce

Chapter 684 Purpose

Ainsley didn’t say anything else. The whole car was filled with a cold aura. She knew Matteo was on the verge of exploding.

She couldn’t tell whether it was better for him to know it or not. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

The car stopped. The housekeeper did not expect Matteo to come back at this time, so she hurriedly informed Robyn.

Mr. Easton happened to be watering the flowers in the back garden when Robyn hurriedly ran downstairs. “Why is Matteo back?”

The surprise in her eyes at the sight of Ainsley vanished abruptly, as if she resented Matteo’s bringing Ainsley home every time.

But she also knew that the only result of acting too obviously was that she would quarrel with her son, so she didn’t make it public.

However, she soon noticed Matteo’s expression and asked nervously, “Why do you look like this?”

“Where’s Dad?” Matteo asked in a low voice.

Robyn pointed in the direction of the back garden. “Your dad is watering the flowers in the back garden. What’s the matter?”

Without replying, Matteo walked straight to the backyard and said to Mr. Easton, “Dad, I have something very important to say. Can you come and join the conversation?”

Mr. Easton looked at Matteo with a puzzled expression. Finally, he put down the gardening tools in his hand and walked into the living room.

On this day, the tour of them sat upright in the living room of the old house.

Matteo and Ainsley sat on one side, while Robyn and Mr. Easton sat on the other.

Matteo waved the housekeeper away after she served the coffee. The atmosphere was solemn.

“Matteo, what’s the matter? Why are you so serious?” Robyn asked in confusion.

After another moment of silence, Matteo glanced at Robyn coldly. “Mom, what exactly are you hiding from me?”

Robyn was taken aback by his words. “What? What can I hide from you?”

“Mom, I hope you can tell me what happened. Don’t wait for me to embarrass everyone.” Matteo sneered.

Mr. Easton also gave Robyn a deep look, and Robyn immediately said excitedly, “Tell me what exactly you want to say now. Don’t make it sound like T did something.”

She glanced at Ainsley meaningfully. “Don’t listen to anyone else and come to me again! Matteo, I hope you remember that I’m your mother!”

“I’m asking you because you’re my mother. What have you done tliat you’re hiding from me?” Matteo heaved a sigh of relief.

Robyn frowned and shook her head. “I don’t knowwhat you’re talking about. I didn’t do anything.”

“Mom, what’s your relationship with Daniel Hume?”

Hearing that, Robyn’s body shook as it she had only now understood what her son was talking about.

She caught a glimpse of Mr. Easton and found that he didn’t even give her a look. She immediately understood.

She smiled bitterly. “Why do you ask?”

Matteo smiled sarcastically. “Since I asked, it means that I really know something. Mom, are you still not willing to tell me even at this point?”

“Daniel Hume… I don’t know him.”

“You just met him several days ago, remember? I know you went to look for him. I want to know what you’ve talked about,” Matteo said seriously.

Only then did Mr. Easton realize what had happened. He looked at Robyn and then at Matteo. “Matteo, what exactly happened? Is there a misunderstanding? She’s your mother. Be careful what you say!”

“Dad! You know exactly who Daniel is, do you? I le has been plotting against Aisy tor a long time and has always wanted to harm her. Mom is connected to such people, and she even went to the villa where Daniel lives. I definitely don’t believe they didn’t say anything. Besides, Daniel is a foreigner. I don’t think Mom has any friends from other countries, especially one from the Hume family.” Matteo became more agitated as he spoke.

Robyn was surprised. She never left any evidence behind. Why did Matteo find out about it this time?

She jerked her head to glare at Ainsley and pointed at her as she cursed, “It must be you! You deliberately led my son to deal with me like this! Are you happy to see the current situation?”

Ainsley felt that the crazy woman in front of her was a little unreasonable. Robyn didn’t know’ that Matteo had already held the key evidence.

Ainsley said indifferently, “Robyn, why don’t you just tell us? After all, it’s not a small matter.”

“What do you expect me to say when I haven’t done anything?”

Matteo sighed and showed Robyn the screenshots sent by Roman on his phone. “This is from the surveillance footage of the entrance of the villa Daniel lives in. Is your figure clear?”

Mr. Easton frowned and looked over. His face darkened when he saw the screenshots. He looked at Robyn coldly and asked, “Why did you go to Daniel?”

Matteo and Ainsley exchanged glances. The reason they asked Mr. Easton to join the conversation was because he was the person Robyn feared the most.

Sure enough, tears rolled down Robyn’s cheeks. She looked at Ainsley, which inspired a plan, and then she immediately sighed. “Alas, I went to see Daniel because of Aisy. I know he has been pestering Ainsley before, so I want to persuade him to let it go.”

“Mom, I thought about many reasons on my way here, but none of them can be believed. I can’t believe you and Daniel harmed Aisy together.”

“I didn’t! How could I possibly harm her? To be honest, Daniel was the one who invited me over. He likes Ainsley and wants to marry her, so I told him to move on. He didn’t want to, and he wanted me to help persuade Ainsley, but you all know that Ainsley will definitely not listen to me. Even if I really want Ainsley to marry Daniel, it will definitely have to wait until Matteo’s agreement.” Robyn cried.

However, Ainsley looked at Robyn and said, “You’re lying. When people lie, they can’t help but make a lot of small moves, such as interlacing their fingers, or being unable to look firm. Tell us the real reason.”

“I…” Robyn hesitated.

In the end, she chose not to say anything. Matteo looked al his father, whom he felt unfamiliar with, in pain.

“Dad, can you persuade Mom?”

Mr. Easton looked at his son with a melancholic expression, and then he

sighed deeply and said to Robyn, “Just tell Matteo what’s going on.”

Tears welled up in Robyn’s eyes as if she was wronged. She took a sip of coffee and said slowly, “I went to find Daniel to find a way to get Samuel to kill Leonard.”

Ainsley and Matteo exchanged glances and they were both shocked.

“How do you know about Samuel and Leonard?” Matteo asked in confusion.

“I don’t need to know who they are. I received a threat email. If I didn’t follow die instructions above, I would have been die one to die. I also hired a hacker to investigate, but it didn’t work. That left me no choice but to do so to save my life. Besides, I don’t even know who Leonard is. He’s just a stranger to me. Of course, I don’t care if a stranger lives or dies,” Robyn said in a deep voice.
