Chapter 1447: Chapter 1419: The Gossip Whiz Comes Online

“Mrs. Kiara, who did this to her? Tell me, who?!” Aka suddenly jumped up, her eyes bloodshot and fists clenched tight.

She wanted to avenge her sister right now!

“Calm down,” Kiara said, pulling her to sit.

“I understand how you feel, but Zoel Cohen is right. There are indeed many people in the world who have unfortunate experiences, but only a very small part of them go to extremes.”

Kiara agreed with Zoel Cohen; Molly Palmer deserved sympathy, but she was not worthy of forgiveness.

“It’s just like I told you before, some people are naturally happy at others’ misfortunes, taking pleasure in their distress. When she found herself in such a situation and sought revenge on you, it was clearly a psychological distortion. To put it harshly–she’s always been selfish. Her world has always revolved around herself. When she was enjoying her life, she thought only of herself; now that she’s suffering, she wants to drag you down with her.”

Kiara didn’t know what had happened during the IQ tests back then, but she was certain that Molly Palmer had been eager to leave voluntarily and had not wanted to take her twin sister with her at all.

“Let me give you another vivid example: if the two of you were in a jungle and there was only one piece of meat, she would definitely kill you to have it all for herself, and after eating the meat, she would even gnaw on your remains. People like her are everywhere, too numerous to count.”

Because of such twisted selfishness, once she was unable to get what she wanted, she began to harbor resentment and jealousy toward Aka, scheming in every way to destroy her.

Kiara’s analysis did not win Aka’s agreement; hearing Kiara speak made her blood boil.

“Mrs. Kiara, I don’t care what kind of person Molly Palmer is, what I want to know right now is who hurt her! There’s a culprit behind every injustice. If I don’t stand up for my sister, I’m just seeking justice for myself. I will blame that fear and trauma on the person responsible!”

Aka itched to tear that person to pieces.

“Aka, how do you not understand what I’m saying? You should know better than anyone what kind of person Molly Palmer is, right?”

“I know, but have you ever thought about it, Mrs. Kiara? She’s selfish, true, but if no one had provoked her, perhaps she might have had a selfish yet uneventful life. Just like the twin sisters you told me about before, the younger sister might have been twisted, but at least she had a calm and stable life. She shouldn’t have to live like this–our lives shouldn’t have ended up this way. Whoever shattered it all, I will seek revenge on them!”

Kiara looked at Aka and sighed deeply.

At times like this, she wished Aka wasn’t so smart; she knew that in Aka’s current state, it was impossible not to tell her.

“In JR’s Laboratory, whoever has the most authority and is the oldest, that person is likely to be the culprit. Personally, I think it’s very likely to be Boss JR.”

Boss JR? Aka thought about it–she seemed to have read his profile before.

“Is he the one who always wears a mask? The Boss mentioned that Boss JR’s face was disfigured in a big fire, so he goes everywhere with a mask on. He has a Mysterious Man under him who also wears a mask all year round, rumored to have been disfigured in the same fire–why didn’t the fire just kill them?”

“Good people don’t last long, misfortune lingers for a thousand years, murderers and arsonists win gold belts, while those who repair bridges and pave beds won’t even leave a corpse behind; these are actually based on scientific reasoning, because good people always sacrifice themselves for others, while bad people act in their own interests. Now tell me, which type lives longer?”

When Kiara spoke these words, she thought of her dad, Yuzo Joel.

Her dad had done everything with her in mind, arranging everything for her, yet he had contracted an incurable rare disease.

Boss JR had committed countless misdeeds, and now he lived a carefree life.

Where was the logic in that?

“Damn it… I’m going all out against him!” Aka blurted out and was about to head out when Zoel Cohen grabbed her back.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

“Settle the score with him!”

“Do you even know where he is? How are you planning to settle the score? And after you’re done, have you considered what happens to me?” Zoel Cohen’s questions were sharp, striking right at Aka’s heart.

“Zoel’s right, Boss JR is no ordinary man, surely surrounded by top experts.”

“My boss doesn’t even have that many people!” Aka retorted, unconvinced.

“Has my dad ever done something so atrocious? Those who want my dad dead definitely can’t outnumber those who want Boss JR dead! It’s simple logic–he’s done more guilty deeds, so naturally, he’s prepared for everything. Wouldn’t you be walking straight into a trap if you went to him? And what about Zoel’s feelings, even if you die alongside your enemy, have you thought about that?”

After Kiara finished, Aka looked at Zoel Cohen as if she had been hit by a pressure point.

Right… she’s not alone anymore.

If it were before, she wouldn’t care about anything as she was on her own, but now, she has Zoel Cohen.

Mario Yuno, seizing the moment while Aka was distracted, jabbed Zoel Cohen, “What are you waiting for, man, go on!”

Mr. Zoel wasn’t good at sweet talk, but at this moment, he went all out and embraced Aka, pulling her into his arms.

“I won’t let you get into trouble for a piece of scum. You’ve already missed out on my past, do you have the heart to miss out on my future too?”

Upon hearing this, Tears streamed down Aka’s face even more fiercely. On one side was an unavenged deep hatred, and on the other, the man she loved–how could she balance both!

“Not letting you act rashly now doesn’t mean you should forget about it. It’s understandable that you harbor hatred in your heart, but revenge needs careful planning. First, we have to confirm whether he really did it. After all, it’s all speculation and inference. Once it’s confirmed to be true, it won’t be too late to think of a way to deal with him,” Kiara soothed Aka, signaling Zoel Cohen with a glance. Zoel Cohen, holding Aka, alternated between cajoling and comforting her, while Mario Yuno and Wendy chimed in persuasively; they finally managed to quell the Fire that Aka had raging inside.

Farmbright Farmer came over, holding a very upset Wendy. At first, she was able to play happily with him, but now, not seeing her mother and father had made her angry, screaming at the top of her little voice. Farmbright had no choice but to call Kiara to find out where she was, and upon learning she’d returned to the Hotel, he immediately hustled over.

When Zoel Cohen saw Farmbright, he dragged Aka away, preparing to continue persuading her in their room–let’s not dwell on that for now.

As soon as Wendy saw her mother and father, her pouted lips quivered, looking ready to cry.

Promised it was just a short walk, you liars!

“Big Wendy, Daddy hasn’t neglected you, you know. Mommy went to fight for justice and solve a historical mystery today; Daddy really had no choice, come on, hug~” Mario Yuno pinched his daughter’s sides and lifted her up. Wendy kicked her legs a couple of times in anger, but soon, the attention from her handsome Dad took away her sadness and she forgot all her woes.

“Where did she go to solve the case?” Farmbright asked curiously.

“It’s a long story–Senior Brother, what’s your impression of Boss JR?”

“Oh, you mean the psycho?”

Farmbright, trained by Yuzo Joel, used adjectives that were just as straightforward and to the point.

“Yeah, him. Does he have any… special fondness for little girls?” Wendy tried to phrase her question as delicately as possible.

The moment that topic came up, Farmbright became animated, the gossip enthusiast instantly came online.
