Chapter 5430
“Ms. Kairi. Someone sent you a package. Seems like same-day delivery.”
The office door was pushed open, and Korbin Patel walked inside.
All five major branches of the family were under the main branch’s control.
But because of the current situation, the other princes made all sorts of excuses to return to their homes.
Korbin was the only one who stayed to support Kairi Patel.
As for Elias Patel, Kairi would not use the ace up her sleeve unless she was truly desperate.
“You don’t need to do all this, Prince Korbin. I do have people who do that for me.”
Kairi showed a strange expression after glancing at Korbin.
The entire family realized Harvey York was only pretending to be Kairi’s fiance.
That was why Korbin constantly tried to be on Kairi’s good side.
Kairi did not know how to feel about that.
After all, it would be wrong to assume since Korbin had yet to make any clear advances.
“I’m the vice CEO here. Ultimately, I’m here to support you.
“I’d be worried if I let someone else do the job.
“Come. Let me open it for you.”
Korbin smiled elegantly before pulling out a paper knife to open the package.
It was an extravagant -looking crystal box with a cold feeling, as if there was ice inside.
Korbin was curious about the contents inside but held himself back when he set the box on the table.
Kairi smiled back at Korbin before opening the lid of the box.
Her face instantly lost all color as soon as she saw what was inside.
“What is it?”
Korbin instinctively looked over before his face darkened.
There was an ice bag with a dog’s carcass inside.
It died peacefully, but clearly, there was residue that resembled chocolate.
Someone must have killed it by feeding it chocolate.
Kairi stepped back with a horrible expression while she breathed rapidly.
Right when Korbin was about to say something, Kairi’s phone suddenly vibrated.
Kairi instinctively turned on the speakers when a faint chuckle was heard.
“Hello, Ms. Kairi. I didn’t expect we’d have a chance to talk again.
“You must be eager to know how I got the gift for you.
Westley’s arrogant cackle was echoing from the other side of the phone.
“I got word that you adopted a stray dog while in university.
“After your graduation, you gave the dog to your classmate and asked her to take care of it.
“You’d also pay her a thousand and four hundred dollars monthly for this.
“But then, your classmate’s a little dumb and greedy!
“She’s clearly working for someone wealthy, and yet she decided to sell this to one of my men for a hundred and fifty thousand dollars!
“The dog couldn’t help but eat the chocolate off my hand after starving it for three whole days…
“At least it didn’t die starving.
“It’s a shame! I wanted to gift the dog to you!
“What a cruel fate!
“Doesn’t matter. A dead dog’s still a dog, right?”
