Chapter 916 Crooked as a Dog’s Hind Leg
Anthony’s action halted, his ghastly eyes narrowing suspiciously. “What do you mean?”
Lea said nothing, just cried in misery, her pale face full of guilt.
Anthony had no patience. He grasped her neck and asked, “You better tell me clearly what you did behind my back again.”
“I–I just told Gilbert that Jensen was going to hide that warden at the south side of the mountain. I didn’t know this would happen. It is my fault for whatever happened to Jensen and Gilbert. I shouldn’t have talked too much. It is all my fault.”
A flash of fury crept up on Anthony’s face as he heard this. “How dare you f*cking spoil our plan? Did I treat you too well all this time that you dare to betray me?” He growled, tightening his grasp on her neck.
Lea sobbed uncontrollably. She did not struggle, just cried with guilt. “I was wrong. Kisa must hate me. What should I do? How could this happen? I just thought it would resolve the misunderstanding between Gilbert and Kisa when Gilbert found the warden. But why did this happen? Why?”
Anthony frowned as something suddenly came to his mind. He let go of Lea, looking suspicious. ‘Could it be that this was all a setup by Adrien? Otherwise, when we went to the club to celebrate, why did Adrien especially remind me to bring Lea along? Probably Adrien deliberately told Lea about the warden, knowing that Lea had a good relationship with Kisa and so expecting that she would leak the news to Gilbert.‘ He could not help but gasp at the thought of this. ‘What a cunning old man. He played Lea and me without us even knowing it. But on the bright side, he really got it exactly right. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have witnessed Gilbert’s miserable face. Well, this will make the game even more fun!‘
