Husband plans to kill me Chapter 312

Honestly, it wasn't that I was scared of this guy; it was more like he had too many connections.

And his crew must be pretty tough, covering all angles. Otherwise, how could Brandon keep acting so cocky?

Even after getting out of prison, he still pops up now and then to remind us he's around...

And he even threatens me sometimes!

These people really get on my nerves.

Thinking about this, I squeezed Royce's hand and said, "You know what? It's not fear I feel anymore, it's more like a burning need for revenge..."

"The guy using the red spider lily as his avatar has caused so much chaos. He's the reason I'm suffering now, and he almost took my child away from me. I just want to get back at him!"

I must have been really worked up saying this because I could feel my body shaking a bit.

Making such a decision isn't easy for anyone.

Especially when we don't know what kind of danger we're up against.

The red spider lily is like a beast lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce on us at any moment.

And right now, for him, it might be an exciting hunting season. He could be quietly watching our every move.

"This guy is a mystery. Cut off one head, and two more might grow."

Royce looked surprised when he heard me say this. "I didn't expect you to be so brave even now, just like the you I used to know."

Hearing this, I felt a bit embarrassed. "I've always been the same."

But being together now, it felt different from the naive and clueless way we were before.

After all, we've been through a lot over the years.

Maybe realizing he brought up a sensitive topic, Royce quickly said, "Alright, let's not talk about this."

"Take it easy for the next few days. There's no conclusion yet on Joanna's situation, so you don't need to rush."

I nodded. "That's what I was thinking. I'll spend more time with the kids these next few days."

It's been a while since I bought Brett any toys, and we've hardly gone shopping together.

I'm really not a very good mom.

"NexGen Innovations hasn't reacted yet. Asher and I are still figuring out our next move. Ideally, we can lead them in the wrong direction and make them lose big!"

But we don't have enough information to go on. The other side isn't naive; they know what we've revealed is just the tip of the iceberg.

And it's just an idea; they won't go all-in on this investment.

"Asher and I plan to meet more often to discuss this. At least make them think we're serious about the chip field, so we can lead them astray."

Royce smiled. "You get even sharper when it comes to work."

"But I support you. After all, hiding a bug in a bouquet to send to another company's anniversary celebration isn't something an honest person would think of."

Even though we're all in business, we believe in making money the right way.

And we're all in the same circle, seeing each other often. Using such underhanded tactics shows they don't take us seriously.

"I won't worry about this. You and Asher handle it. If you need my help, just let me know."

I couldn't help but blink and suddenly asked, "Do you not have any weird thoughts about Asher now?"

"What do you mean by weird thoughts? We're both guys; what could happen?" Royce seemed to misunderstand me.

I blushed and quickly explained, "I didn't mean you two... I meant, you used to be a bit jealous because Asher and I were close..."

"Now you should know, Asher and I are just friends."

Hearing my explanation, Royce actually laughed.

"Are you concerned about my feelings?"

We're not even officially dating, yet we're already considering each other's thoughts.

Realizing this made me a bit embarrassed, and I quickly looked away. "Even though we're not dating, you helped me with Yvonne's situation. Now it's my turn to show some sincerity."

"I'm glad you think that way."

Royce leaned in and kissed my cheek.

Since I had just turned my face away, I only saw the smile on Royce's lips when I turned back.

"If it were before, I would have been bothered by your relationship with Asher. But he has a legitimate reason to help you. He said he sees you as a sister, so I wouldn't misunderstand. And now, my relationship with you is closer than his, so why would I mind?"

It was rare for Royce to say so much to me.

But then I thought, Royce usually seems cold and distant, but he tries to clear up any misunderstandings with me.

I suddenly remembered my friends joking that Royce was like a loyal dog around me, and my face turned red again.

Royce noticed something was off. "What are you thinking about? Why is your face so red?"

He reached out to pinch my cheek.

I quickly dodged. "Alright, alright, let's not mess around. It's rare to have some time off. I'm planning to take Brett to the toy store."

"Has it been a while since you took him out? Want me to come along?"

I shook my head. "No need. This is our special time. I don't want anyone else tagging along."

Royce laughed. "You're so heartless."

But he didn't insist. He just reminded me to be safe and to contact him if anything unexpected happened.

The next day, I made plans with Brett and took him to the mall.

It was a rare day off, and the weather was great. I dressed Brett up like a little gentleman in a tiny suit.

He caught a lot of attention, and a few girls even took pictures, saying how handsome he was.

Brett clearly noticed the attention and walked with his head held high.

Seeing him like this, I couldn't help but laugh. "Why are you so much more proud than when you were little?"

"It's because I'm happy every day now."

Brett's voice was still adorable when he acted cute around me.

Hearing this, I got curious. "Brett, are you happy every day because something good happened at school?"
