Chapter 127: Rejection

“What do you mean by that?” Ardan asked seriously as he approached Karissa in her office.

“Ndra, why are you being so cold… what’s wrong?” Karissa asked, her face all innocence.

“Ndra, you’ve been getting more and more rude to me lately… what did I do wrong?!”

Karissa still wore an expression of cluelessness, as if she didn’t understand Ardan’s question.

“Sa, Nata died in a hit-and-run. That was your doing, wasn’t it?!” Ardan said, his tone accusatory.

“Nata… got hit by a car?” Karissa replied, feigning surprise. “That’s sad…” Her face now showed a hint of sorrow. “Well, he wasn’t one of my people, and he wasn’t yours either… just let it go… guess it was his unlucky fate to be hit by a truck.”

“When did I say Nata was hit by a truck?” Ardan’s eyes narrowed sharply.
