?Chapter 1065:


    Jack approached him with a nk look on his face and bowed slightly in greeting. “Mr. Castro, my boss would like to have a word with you.”


    ine nced back at the ck sedan he had just exited. The two bodyguards were visibly tense, while Sharon remained unconscious. No matter how he looked at it, this scene was not suitable for any sort of business negotiation.


    Was this actually about Sharon? How did Patrick even know Sharon was at Castro Manor?


    ine’s mind was racing, though he somehow managed to keep hisposure.


    After a moment’s consideration, he nodded at Jack and followed him to the ck Maybach parked a few steps away.


    The door to the backseat was opened, and ine slid inside the vehicle. Noah was sitting there, his legs crossed, his hands perched on his knees. Yet despite his rxed posture, there was an unmistakable air of danger around him.


    ine suddenly found it difficult to breathe. He cleared his throat and mustered a smile. “Mr. Noel, what—what’s going on here?”


    Noah tipped his head slightly to the side, his sharp gazending on ine. “Shouldn’t I be asking you that, Mr. Castro? What exactly is your family trying to do?”


    His calm tone rang with authority, and ine felt his heart sink. His back broke out in a cold sweat.


    So Patrick knew.


    ine’s smile became even more strained, almost looking like a grimace. He scrambled for an excuse, desperate to brush the matter aside andugh it off.


    But Noah spoke again, squashing any attempt to find an easy way out. “Your family has gone to great lengths to abduct Sharon. What is your goal here? Is the Castro family trying to—”


    family involved in the death of Sadie’s parents five years ago?”

    ine froze, a vein bulging on his forehead. This usation was not to be taken lightly!


    Recently, Patrick had been so close to Sadie, and she was even carrying Patrick’s baby.


    If Patrick truly believed that the Castro family had anything to do with that incident—or worse yet, if he convinced Sadie of the same—then this misunderstanding would spiral out of control.


    If that happened, his grandfather would definitely not let him go easily.


    “Mr. Noel, you can’t say such words so carelessly!” ine raised his right hand, as if to swear an oath. “I swear on everything I hold dear, the Castro family is innocent. We have no hand in the death of Sadie’s parents! Besides, Sadie’s grandfather and mine shared a deep friendship that spanned decades. We have no reason to harm their family.”


    The words came out of him in a rush, and only when he was done did he take the time to gauge Noah’s reaction.


    However, his eyes remained unreadable underneath his silver mask. ine swallowed the lump in his throat. Patrick’s presence was simply too overwhelming.
