Chapter 838: Blaming Neve'S Death On Yanis

Chapter 838: Blaming Neve's Death on Yanis

Bonnie shook her head. "No, I feel nauseous whenever I see seafood lately. Let's go somewhere else."

"How about Harborview Restaurant or Banyan Garden?" Yanis suggested.

Bonnie thought for a moment. "Let's go to Banyan Garden. Ivan is treating us today. Shouldn't we make

the most of it?"

Yanis smiled. "Then let's go to Banyan Garden."

Bonnie nodded. "We're parting ways this time. Who knows when we'll meet again."

Yanis replied, "We can visit M Country in the future, or Ivan can come back to Manches City."

"That's true. As long as we want to meet, there will always be reasons and ways."

The two of them arrived at Banyan Garden and placed their orders.

"Miss Thompson," a male voice came from behind just as Yanis and Bonnie finished ordering and were

about to return to their private room.

Upon hearing the voice, Yanis and Bonnie both stopped in their tracks.

Adam was standing a few steps away from them.

After Neve's incident, Adam seemed to have disappeared off the face of the earth. They didn't expect

to encounter him here today.

When Bonnie saw Adam, she instinctively stepped in front of Yanis and asked, "Mr. Bennett, is there

something you need?"

Adam noticed Bonnie's protective gesture and chuckled lightly. "Miss Cooke, there's no need to be so

hostile towards me. I never intended to do anything to Miss Thompson."

Bonnie smiled faintly. "I just think people with the name Bennett tend to be a bit dangerous. It's just my

natural reaction."

Adam maintained a smile on his face. "Does Miss Cooke have any misconceptions about me?"

"Whether there are misconceptions or not, Mr. Bennett knows best. If there's nothing else, we'll be on

our way. We have an appointment and don't have time to chat with Mr. Bennett," Bonnie said, reaching

out to grab Yanis' hand and walk towards the elevator, passing by Adam.

As they walked past Adam, his voice rang out again, "Miss Thompson, do you not feel guilty about

Neve's death?"

Upon hearing Adam's words, Bonnie halted a step ahead of Yanis, turned around, and looked at Adam.

"Does Mr. Bennett find that amusing? Neve wanted to die herself and tried to drag others down with

her. In the end, she caused her own death. Should someone else be blamed for that? What kind of NôvelDrama.Org content.

logic is that?"

"Besides, she could have chosen to live at that time. It was her own decision not to. Can we really

blame others for that?" Bonnie questioned.

Adam's face turned cold at Bonnie's words.

Just as he was about to respond, Bonnie continued, "Is Mr. Bennett trying to place the blame for Neve's

death on Yanis?"

Adam locked eyes with Bonnie and suddenly burst into laughter. "Miss Cooke, why are you so

agitated? I was just speaking off the cuff."

"Mr. Bennett, speaking off the cuff and slapping such a huge label on someone, don't you think that's

going too far?" Bonnie retorted.

Yanis looked at Adam after Bonnie's remark and spoke, "Mr. Bennett, I don't believe Neve's death has

anything to do with me. I don't feel guilty, and one cannot stop someone who wants to die. Besides,

why did Neve die? Shouldn't Mr. Bennett be introspective about that?"

"So, Miss Thompson, are you suggesting that Neve's death should be attributed to me?" Adam

questioned.

"It's not about attributing Neve's death to you, Mr. Bennett. Should we attribute it to Yanis then?" Yanis

responded.

After Adam's words, a deep voice could be heard.

Yanis and Bonnie both looked up upon hearing the voice.

Ivan and Teddy approached them.

Ivan walked up to Yanis and Bonnie, discreetly positioning himself between them, and then looked at

Adam. "Is it a tradition for the Bennett family to deflect blame onto others?"

Adam's face slightly darkened. "Ivan, do you enjoy meddling in other people's business?"

"Yes, I particularly enjoy meddling in their affairs. Any objections, Mr. Bennett?" Ivan retorted.

Adam frowned, about to say something, but Ivan beat him to it. "If Mr. Bennett wants to establish

himself in Manches City, he should focus on learning and not waste his attention on trivial matters, or

worse, miscalculate. Be careful, or you might end up losing everything."

After Ivan finished speaking, he didn't give Adam a chance to respond. He continued, "If there's nothing

else, then we'll leave first. Feel free, Mr. Bennett."

Ivan turned to Yanis and Bonnie. "Let's go."

Yanis glanced at Adam, nodded, and turned to walk towards the elevator with Bonnie, taking the lead.

Ivan looked at Yanis and Bonnie leaving and then turned his gaze back to Adam. "Mr. Bennett, I advise

you to reconsider your thoughts. It's better to take the right path. Shortcuts don't work for everyone,

especially not for you."

Adam laughed upon hearing Ivan's words. "Should I thank you for the advice, Ivan?"

Ivan chuckled. "That won't be necessary."

After speaking, Ivan exchanged a glance with Teddy. "Let's go."

"Does Ivan still not let go of Yanis? He protects a woman he can't have. Doesn't Ivan feel any regret in

his heart?" Adam's voice came from behind as Ivan was about to leave.

Upon hearing this, Ivan paused for a moment, turned around, and looked at Adam. "There's no need

for Mr. Bennett to worry about that."

After saying that, Ivan paid no more attention to Adam and walked into the elevator with Teddy.

Yanis and Bonnie had already gone upstairs, so at this moment, only Teddy and Ivan were in the

elevator.

"It seems like everyone knows about your feelings for Yanis. It's the talk of the town," Teddy teased.

Ivan glanced at Teddy's face without saying anything. Even without speaking, Teddy understood what

he wanted to say.

"Yes, yes, I won't mention it anymore."

Ivan said in a low voice, "I don't mind those words, but let's not bring it up in front of her. It might trouble

her."

Listening to Ivan's words, Teddy frowned slightly. "You really... always think about her so much."

"We used to be friends, and now we are..." Ivan paused for a few seconds before completing his

unfinished sentence, "now we are like siblings."

Upon hearing Ivan's words, Teddy couldn't help but laugh. "You pour your heart and soul into her,

wanting to give her everything, but you're really tough on yourself."

The elevator stopped, and Ivan stepped out first. "You'll have moments like this too."

Teddy waved his hand. "No, thanks. I don't really like that feeling. I always feel like I have to consider

someone else. We only have a short life, so why waste our time and energy on someone else?"

Ivan was about to say something, but Teddy's voice cut in again. "I know it might sound selfish when I

say this, but it's the truth. Don't bother trying to convince me otherwise."

Ivan glanced at him and swallowed his words. "Alright, I hope you won't have such moments in the

future."

Teddy spoke confidently, "I definitely won't."

"Don't be too certain. Leave yourself some room," Ivan said softly.
