Chapter 96: Taking Revenge for Her

My expression turned ugly, I hadn't expected Zhao Mengxi to be so ruthless.

She actually pulled such a stunt on me.

She was clearly pushing me into a corner, knowing full well that I couldn't possibly agree to such demands. She also knew about my relationship with Sister Su; I couldn't just stand by and watch her die.

I felt helpless, but suddenly, a surge of footsteps came from outside the door. As I turned towards the noise, Master Zhao's face unexpectedly entered my line of sight.

My whole body stiffened, and the next second, I saw him walking in.

His gaze lingered on my face for a moment, exuding an overwhelming presence that made it hard for me to breathe.

Zhao Mengxi seemed surprised by Master Zhao's arrival as well, her face changing color, "Dad, why are you here?"

Master Zhao glanced at Zhao Mengxi, "Don't you know why I would be here?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mengxi's face showed a trace of guilt. She pursed her lips and said nothing.
