Chapter 12 

Edmund’s fury only made Kaneeta seem all the more unshaken

She said, Mr. Kuntz, if I remember correctly, you told me we 

should always separate work from personal matters.” 

Edmund’s pupils shrank

Meanwhile, she continued, So, suddenly this rule doesn’t apply 

anymore when it comes to Nyasia?” 

I know what I said. Still, you shouldn’t have thrown juice at 

her.” He yanked his tie loose in frustration

She keenly picked up something from his words

You know deep down that I didn’t throw coffee at her face in 

the pantry, don’t you?” 

He knew everything

But he still took Nyasia’s side

Edmund looked away, not daring to meet her gaze anymore. Nya…” 

In fact, he knew what had happened when he saw Kaneeta’s 

reaction

Kaneeta didn’t throw the coffee at Nyasia’s face

It was Nyasia who had staged the accident

But he couldn’t bring himself to reprimand Nyasia

After all, she had suffered enough. All these years, she had 

loved him hopelessly, the man she could never be with openly 

due to their adoptive bond. She went abroad and got married

only to end up with bruises left by her monster exhusband

And despite her longing for children, she couldn’t conceive

He couldn’t bear to say any harsh words to her at all

So, he could only resort to blaming Kaneeta

But now, as he looked into Kaneeta’s eyes, he was suddenly at a loss for words

In fact, Kaneeta wasn’t surprised

He had helped Nyasia cover up her orchestrated car accident

It made perfect sense that he’d side with her on such a trivial matter

After several minutes, Edmund said, his voice softening a lot

Alright, Neeta. Nya can be quite impulsive sometimes. Don’t 

hold it against her.” 

He stood up, walked over to Kaneeta, and held her hand.

heard the latest designer bag is gorgeous. Do you want it? I’ll 

buy it for you, OK?” 

She pulled her hand away. I don’t need it.” 

Who did he hear it from? Nyasia

He wanted to buy each of them a gift again

Neeta, for my sake, don’t be upset anymore, OK? Seeing you 

like this breaks my heart.” 

When she had thrown a tantrum, he’d coax her like this

Back then, she had thought he meant every word. Yet now, she 

realized how hypocritical he was, and it made her sick

Chances were, he coaxed her so patiently all for Nyasia’s sake

And as it turned out, she was right. Edmund continued, Besides

Nya was already in a terrible mood today. It was about the 

projectshe’s just taken over and still is unfamiliar with a lot of 

things. The clients gave her a hard time today. Could you help 

her? You don’t wanna see all your hard work go to waste

right?” 

Of course. I’ll never joke about the effort my team and I make,” 

she said

Hearing this, he figured she had agreed to help Nyasia. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she said, But I won’t 

help Nyasia either.” 

YouHis expression darkened again. Neeta, cut it out, or I’ll 

be mad for real.” 

Kaneeta loved him so much. He was so certain she’d be afraid 

after he said this

She’d panic for sure

But he was wrongshe just looked at him expressionlessly

Noticing this, he panicked

How could it be? How come she didn’t have any reaction at all

Could it be thatshe no longer loved him that much

That was impossible

Even he didn’t realize how panicked he was. He stared at her face without blinking, searching her eyes and expression for even the slightest trace of nervousness or sadness

Just then, his phone abruptly rang, snapping him out of it

He glanced at Kaneeta deeply before walking back to the desk 

and picking up his phone

It was a call from Frankie Carter, one of the clients

Under normal circumstances, Edmund’s clients wouldn’t 

directly call him. After all, he was the CEO of the Kuntz Group

and his time was certainly not to be wasted on trivial calls

Maybe Frankie was really pissed this time

He answered. Frankie maintained politeness, but the firmness 

in his tone was not to be ignored. Mr. Kuntz, we insist on having Ms. Drayton handle the project. Changing the project lead is as good as ruining it. If Ms. Drayton is to be replaced

from now on, we will cut off all collaborations with the Kuntz 

Group.” 

Edmund was deeply displeased, but losing Frankie, a very reliable client, was something he didn’t want to see

So, he could only agree to Frankie’s request reluctantly

After putting the phone down, he looked at Kaneeta

Neeta, you may continue to take charge of the project. Nya… 

She can assist you.” 

Even till this point, he still wouldn’t give up, wanting to include 

Nyasia in the project

Assist me?Kaneeta sneered. Mr. Kuntz, if I’m right, I’m 

holding all the cards now!”” 

Hearing this, he frowned slightly. What’s that supposed to 

mean?” 

It means, if you want me to handle the project, Nyasia must 

exit it completely. From now on, she has nothing to do with it 

anymore.” 

Nyasia happened to be walking out of the lounge. Hearing this

she shrieked, No, Ed!”
