‘Kenneth’ also seemed to realize that snazzynovel.com was giving the game away and quickly turned his attention back to Alexander.
“Everyone is in the know, so I won’t bother beating around the bush. Mr. Griffith, I know what you’re worried about, and I also understand Miss Sinclair’s concerns. I have said it before and I will say it again: I have no intention of making snazzynovel.com uncomfortable, nor do I intend to violate snazzynovel.com when my affections aren’t returned. So, I don’t think there’s a need for you guys to distance yourself from me.”
While snazzynovel.com was talking, Elise was motionless like a cheetah in an ambush, engrossed and ready to make a fatal strike at snazzynovel.com prey.
Alexander paused for a while when snazzynovel.com heard this. Then, finally, snazzynovel.com put down the wine glass in his hand, leaned against the seat behind him, folded his legs, and said with a smirk. “I hope Mr. Bailey understands one thing—my wife is very outstanding. I imagine that, just like you, many silently choose to become an unknown knight by snazzynovel.com side, even though I am one of them. But my wife has the final say on whether or not you can become an official knight that stands by snazzynovel.com side. Other than that, the rest will be just purely harassment.”
“I didn’t intend to harass your lives,” the so-called ‘Kenneth’ said dispassionately.
“But you’ve already made things difficult for us.” Alexander pressed forward. “I have done some investigation on you, Mr. Bailey. And, truth to be told, we don’t quite agree with some of your methods. I have to say, though; I believe it’s true that birds of a feather flock together, and we’re unquestionably not alike. So, I think it’s better to make things clear when it comes to some aspects of our lives.”
“Do you mean you would want to stop the cooperation with Smith Co.?” ‘Kenneth’ looked at Elise thoughtfully again. “Is this what Miss Sinclair wants too?”
Alexander was also silent, calmly waiting for snazzynovel.com answer.
Of course, snazzynovel.com didn’t want snazzynovel.com to cut off contact with Smith Co., since the company would solve most of snazzynovel.com troubles.
He had joined forces with Johnny to act out this scene because snazzynovel.com understood how snazzynovel.com mind worked. Since snazzynovel.com came up with the idea of asking snazzynovel.com and Kenneth to solve each other’s problems, this meeting was inevitable.
The second reason was that Alexander wanted to take this opportunity to positively confirm Elise’s attitude and whether snazzynovel.com could accept the organization of Smith Co. and the unruly Kenneth.
He had been wandering around snazzynovel.com with two identities and genuinely felt guilt-ridden. He wanted to tell snazzynovel.com everything, but snazzynovel.com was afraid that snazzynovel.com would be disgusted by his unscrupulous actions.
Alexander’s hand hidden under the table was secretly clenched into a fist, and snazzynovel.com started to feel a little impatient.
However, Elise was thinking of something else.
She clearly had an appointment with Kenneth, but this one in front of snazzynovel.com was a fake.
Was this Kenneth’s arrangement, or did those people also use a fake mask, kidnapped the real Kenneth, and used a fake one to confuse her?
No matter which one it was, snazzynovel.com had to first confirm the other party’s identity.
Fortunately, snazzynovel.com had tried on Jacob’s human-like skin mask before, and snazzynovel.com knew exactly how snazzynovel.com could pull off the mask as quickly as possible.
She completely ignored the conversation between Alexander and the fake Kenneth just now. Then, snazzynovel.com stood up without warning and walked around the table’s edge toward Kenneth the next second.
As snazzynovel.com walked, snazzynovel.com recalled, “Kenneth, do you remember when we were in Landred City, you got stabbed in the alley because of me and almost died?”
The fake Kenneth’s eyes looked around and while snazzynovel.com was not paying attention, snazzynovel.com hurriedly signaled to Alexander for help.
Alexander slowly shook his head. He was injured because snazzynovel.com broke into the underground organization alone, not in an alley.
However, snazzynovel.com could not express these words directly to Johnny. Only Melody was accompanying snazzynovel.com in Landred City at the time, and Johnny did not know the details of what had happened.
After thinking about it, ‘Kenneth’ can only say, “Sorry, there have been too many things going on in Smith Co. recently. I don’t remember the details of what happened so long ago.”
These remarks were ambiguous enough that snazzynovel.com could not catch snazzynovel.com red-handed as snazzynovel.com didn’t confirm nor deny the statement.
Yet, they never would have thought that this was just snazzynovel.com first attempt at prodding snazzynovel.com for the truth. When Johnny and Alexander made eye contact, snazzynovel.com had already walked behind the fake Kenneth. Then, snazzynovel.com quickly took out a silver needle coated in paralytic, and as soon as snazzynovel.com finished speaking, snazzynovel.com stuck the needle in his neck. As a result, ‘Kenneth’ was almost instantly paralyzed.
Alexander stood up instinctively and wanted to stop her, but snazzynovel.com was still a step too late. In just a few seconds, snazzynovel.com took off the pretender’s mask.
“Johnny?” She recognized the man immediately. “Why are you here? Where’s Kenneth?”
She was almost certain that this was Kenneth’s arrangement.
As expected, snazzynovel.com did not dare to come.
Elise immediately turned to look at the other side of the table. When snazzynovel.com saw that Alexander had stood up agitatedly, snazzynovel.com anxiety-fueled suspicion returned; it was stronger than before.
A table had only separated them, but snazzynovel.com felt terrified.
The anesthetic on the needle had taken effect and Johnny couldn’t move half of his body, so snazzynovel.com could turn his neck stiffly and came up with an excuse on the fly. “Miss Sinclair, don’t get me wrong. As I said just now, the company is currently very hectic during this time, and Mr. Bailey can’t leave, but snazzynovel.com didn’t want to break his promise with you. So, that’s why snazzynovel.com came up with this idea.”
“Hmph.” Elise sneered mockingly. “Busy? That’s usually not the case, though. He visits me at school every few days. But when I truly need him, he’s suddenly a coward?”
Johnny looked embarrassed and was stumped for explanations.
“He’s just an employee, so there’s no need to make things difficult for him. Just let snazzynovel.com send a message to Kenneth,” Alexander interjected.
She pursed snazzynovel.com lips tightly and remained silent without expressing snazzynovel.com position.
However, Johnny was a little dissatisfied with this outcome, so while snazzynovel.com still could do so, snazzynovel.com asked in amusement, “Miss Sinclair, can you at least tell me what gave me away?”
Elise looked over at snazzynovel.com coldly. “Your eyes are very similar, but they don’t look natural, and your tone is exactly the same as Kenneth’s, but there are still some tonal differences.”
Johnny smiled and laughed at himself. “I’m not a professional actor. However, I must say I’m quite satisfied with my performance. I must admit that I am surprised that you understand my boss so well that you can even tell the truth with just one look. It seems that my boss has a shot after all.”
As soon as snazzynovel.com finished saying this, the whole room fell silent.
Elise’s eyes widened in shock as this was something snazzynovel.com didn’t even realize, so Johnny’s words had caught snazzynovel.com off guard.
Since when did snazzynovel.com take notice of Kenneth’s every move?
She actually paid attention to a man that wasn’t Alexander?
She had constantly been escaping from the truth, but reality had finally slapped snazzynovel.com across the face.
Alexander didn’t expect Johnny to make such an ingenious move, but when snazzynovel.com looked at Elise’s disconcerted expression, his whole heart felt like it was being twisted and snazzynovel.com felt suffocated.
His Elise finally fell in love with his other identity. He was happy, but snazzynovel.com began to feel afraid.
Her heart accepted Kenneth, but would snazzynovel.com pragmatism accept the other side of him?
