After divorce I am a billionaire novel Chapter 1150

Chapter 1150 Have You Had Enough of Acting?

On the other end, Mavis was sleeping soundly, her fingertips sliding over the phone a few times before she answered.

"Hello, Anthony. The two guys have confessed. It was Bryleigh who ordered them to do it. I've already sent my people to arrest her," Chad's voice came through on the phone.

Mavis blinked slowly and opened her eyes, realizing she had picked up Anthony's phone by mistake.

"It's your phone," she said.

Hearing a lazy female voice on the other end of the line, Chad changed his serious tone and became a gossip lover. "Oh, what's going on? You're making good progress. Did you sleep together last night?"

"Well, are you jealous?" Anthony smirked.

"I'm very affectionate with my wife. It should be you who envies me."

Anthony chuckled and continued talking about business, "Let your people handle Bryleigh's case according to law. I have no old feelings for her so don't bother asking me about it anymore. As for Padilla Group from now on there will be no Padilla family in Crana aristocracy."

He didn't want to look at that malicious woman again.

After finishing their conversation, he hung up quickly and stretched out his long arms to hold onto their son and Mavis - or more accurately - he held onto his whole world.

Until Alistair woke up, they could get up slowly together as a family and eat breakfast.

Mavis was extremely disappointed in Moore; she didn't want Alistair seeing him again so she let him play alone in their apartment. Kane stayed behind with some men to protect him while they went to the hospital.

From the moment they got out of the car, Anthony held her hand tightly, giving her a strong sense of security.

At the entrance of the hospital room, Raymond saw the two of them walking hand in hand and his eyes nearly popped out.

What happened? He had only been away for two days!

It seemed his words that day didn't register with his sister at all!

"What are you doing? Let go!" Raymond rushed over, forcefully separating the two of them and standing between them.

Since Mavis wasn't listening, he had to resort to a more forceful approach.

"Raymond, don't be stubborn. Where is that person?" Mavis didn't even want to mention Moore's name.

"He's inside the hospital room. I heard that Alistair went missing, and he blames himself for not being able to help. He's been so worried that he hasn't eaten anything since coming out of surgery until now," Raymond sighed.

If it were in the past, Mavis would have surely been moved.

But now, she wasn't.

In fact, she felt a chill in her heart. If it weren't for last night's events, she could hardly believe Moore had such acting skills.

"Raymond, not everything is black and white, and not everyone is as simple as you imagine."

Raymond was stunned. Shouldn't he be the one telling Mavis that? Why was it the other way around?

"Sis, do you even know what you're talking about?"

Mavis didn't explain further. "Come with me and find out." She turned around and walked into the hospital room.

When Moore saw her, his eyes lit up. If he could move, he would have rushed to her side. But when he saw Anthony behind her, his eyes dimmed a little.

"Mavis! I thought you wouldn't come to see me," Moore said.

"Have you had enough of your act?" Anthony mocked, a disdainful smirk playing on his lips, accompanied by a look of utmost contempt.

Using a child to achieve your goals – a despicable act.

Moore admitted, "Mavis, there's something I forgot to tell you. Before I passed out yesterday, Bryleigh came to see me. I questioned her and found out that she was the one who did this to me. As for Alistair, is it possible that she took him away at that time? The surgery took too long and I forgot about this crucial clue."

"What! Bryleigh? Why would she go after you?" Raymond blurted out, the only one in the room with a puzzled expression.

The sudden turn of events caught him off guard.

"It's all because of Anthony. Bryleigh admires him and wants to get rid of him for my sake," Moore replied quietly.

Seeing that he was about to be blamed again, Raymond was ready to start cursing. Anthony's face turned cold as he said in a low voice, "Zack, come in."

The door opened and Zack brought in a thick stack of evidence materials which he threw on the bed.

"This is a collection of photos and call records between Moore and Bryleigh from their multiple meetings. And here are their chat logs via text messages. Although they both deleted them afterwards, NIB used special methods to recover all information," Zack explained.

Some parts were sent by Chad while others were investigated by Anthony when Mavis saw Bryleigh last time.

With so much evidence presented before him, Moore visibly panicked.

"Mavis, listen to me! It's true that I had contact with Bryleigh but it was always her who initiated it. I never helped her do anything bad or hurt anyone else either! My body broke down but before yesterday I didn't know who did it. Honestly thought it was Anthony until yesterday when Bryleigh told me everything! You have got believe me!"

Mavis remained unmoved as she said without any emotion on her face, "If you're trying play games with my feelings, then maybe I can forgive you but if you hurt my Alistair... You know how important he is for me and how much pain will cause if anything happens. Yet you still went ahead with your plan against him. I'm really disappointed in you. I cannot forgive you."

Moore turned pale as tears welled up in his eyes; trembling lips unable utter another word.
