The Heiress's Return: From Zen to Zenith

Chapter 988: 466 Responsibility_2 Chapter 988: 466 Responsibility_2 Jayden Moore twisted his neck, unable to control the overwhelming power within him.

“Let her in.” A cold voice came from inside the villa.

Finnian Moore took a step aside, “Ms.

Hayes, please enter.”

Silvia Hayes raised her head and confidently strutted into the living room.

Agave Rinto was sitting on the sofa, idly swinging a cup of tea, with a tablet on his lap.

He seemed to be watching a video, and intermittent music could be heard, much like the sort from a viral short video online.

Could it be that my cousin is leisurely watching short videos?

“Cousin, what on earth did my mother do wrong?

She’s never interfered with the shipping business, and she’d never get involved in smuggling.

This must be a setup by someone with ulterior motives.”

“Who’s setting her up?” Agave Rinto asked indifferently.

“Ricky Wood, he’s the only one capable of this and also has the motivation to do so.”

Hayes, you’re an adult, and you should take legal responsibility for your own words.”

Silvia Hayes turned her head abruptly and saw Ricky Wood slowly coming out from the direction of the study.

Silvia Hayes sneered, “Isn’t it obvious?

Who doesn’t know that Ricky Wood has always been in charge of the shipping business and the huge profit every year has attracted countless jealous eyes?

Such benefits, my mother wouldn’t even dream of.

My mother being accused of smuggling now is truly a huge joke.”

“Last time, my mother was instigated by someone and caused harm to the interests of the Rintos.

But she has sincerely regretted and has paid her price.

Why can’t you let go of it?

She is so old and her physical and mental state can’t withstand this.

Are you trying to take her life?

So, the Rintos would no longer have anyone to target you?

Unfortunately, my cousin will not fall for your tricks.”

Ricky Wood could only laugh in response to Silvia Hayes’s accusation.

His helpless smile was brimming with irony.

“Ms.

Hayes, you really are a sore loser.”

Ricky Wood’s face darkened: “Bring the person in.”

Jayden Moore kicked a man into the room.

The man rolled on the ground and quickly knelt down nervously.

His small eyes darted around, trembling with fear.

“Tell me everything you’ve done honestly.”

“I’ll tell, I’ll tell all of it.

Please spare my life, Manager Wood.

I was forced to do it, it was all Birch Cliff’s idea.

He said that Guele Rinto was backing him up and asked me to do it without fear of being discovered…”

Silvia Hayes kicked him: “You are talking nonsense, how dare you slander my mother, you dog.”

Huck Callum was kicked and rolled backwards.

He kneeled on the ground, holding his chest, and pleaded, “Ms.

Hayes, I’m not making things up, I have a recording.”

“What can a recording prove?

Birch Cliff is just a mad dog, biting whoever he sees.

Can his words be trusted?”

Silvia Hayes turned to Agave Rinto, “Cousin, it has been proven that Birch Cliff is Virginia Frost’s pawn.

He just wants to provoke discord among the Rintos and take advantage of the chaos.

His words cannot be trusted.”

“This is a conspiracy against our Rintos.”

“Conspiracy?

Ms.

Hayes, your plan of fanning the flames is brilliant!

Members from the Prosecution Office have already warned Master McKay.

Are you happy only after pulling the Rintos into trouble completely?

If everyone is in trouble, no one can be safe.

If Ms.

Hayes understands this, she wouldn’t make such a scene in the Rinto’s house.” Ricky Wood spoke sharply.

Silvia Hayes looked pale, “Master Wood, you are twisting the facts.

My mother was also deceived by Birch Cliff, it was not her intention.”

“Flies do not bite seamless eggs, if Miss Rinto didn’t have that intention, a hundred Birch Cliffs would be of no use.”

Huck Callum knelt in front of Agave Rinto, “Master McKay, I was really forced, please spare me, I wouldn’t dare to do it again…”

Jayden Moore intercepted him, kicking Huck Callum hard in the chest, and poor Huck Callum rolled several circles before stopping.

Agave Rinto spoke in a nonchalant tone, “Everyone has to pay for their choices.

If you can’t choose your own path firmly, even if it’s the wrong one, I would respect you.

Unfortunately, you wavered.”

He didn’t look at Huck Callum again, “Take him away.
