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. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"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.

Mavis raised an eyebrow and let him continue acting. "Why wouldn't I come? We're best friends after

all. Or do you think you did something wrong to me so I won't visit?"

Moore froze but knew better than to say anything.

"Sis, what were you talking to Moore about? He's been waiting for hours," Raymond couldn't

understand why Mavis felt like a stranger now.

Anthony made a gesture for him to shut up and listen instead of speaking out of turn. No one dared

confront Anthony except for Mavis in that room.

"Mavis, I heard Alistair went missing? Did you find him yet? Unfortunately, there's nothing much I can

do. Otherwise, I can help look for him if needed," Moore lowered his head while pretending to care

about Alistair's safety.

Mavis couldn't help but admit that his acting was too impressive, to the point where Mavis felt like she

should personally award him a Best Actor Prize.

The more he acted like this, the more it chilled Mavis's heart.

Next to them stood Anthony with hands in pockets watching everything unfold leisurely.

"We found him already," replied Mavis indifferently.

Moore nervously clutched at the sheets on the bed while asking if Alistair was okay or scared during

this time away from home?

"He's safe and sound." Anthony, who was standing behind, spoke calmly, his pitch-black eyes fixed on

Moore.

Moore could clearly feel that Anthony's gaze was aimed directly at him, and even Mavis's expression

seemed off.

Could it be that the truth was exposed? Or were they deliberately trying to trap him with their words?

He wasn't sure, so he didn't say much. The more he said, the more mistakes he might make.

Although they were engaged in a seemingly ordinary conversation, Raymond could sense the

pervasive scent of gunpowder in the air.

"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.
