Crime

He took a shallow breath, and the strong bitter taste of black coffee spread out in his mouth instantly. It was the first time that he tasted the unbearable sourness and bitterness from the original coffee he had been used to drinking for a long time.

Gakupo put down the coffee cup in his hand, raised his head and looked at the other side - it was another pair of blue eyes.

The lake blue short dress perfectly outlines the woman's graceful and graceful figure, and the long sapphire blue hair is delicately tied into a bun - her elegance and beauty have attracted many men.

Gakupo's eyes swept over her face lightly, such a similar appearance inevitably reminded him of another person.

"First of all, I have to apologize to you," Gakupo sat up straight and said, "Interfering in your family affairs without authorization is really not what I should do as an outsider. Please forgive me, Ms. Sapphire."

Only then did Sapphire look up at him, her face was very calm, and she couldn't see a trace of joy or sadness.

Gakupo realized that this woman was using silence to give him the right to speak, and no matter what he said next, he would guide the direction of the conversation, and if he said too many mistakes, he might even play in her arms, so he had to be cautious.

"It's about the interests of the company, so even if it's inconvenient, I have to take action. I hope you can understand." Gakupo said, his eyes followed the other's every move.

Sapphire propped his face with one hand, and stroked the coffee cup on the table with the other, gently stroking the cup with his slender fingers.After a long silence, she finally said, "I heard that little girl mentioned you."

Just this one sentence makes people unable to continue the next sentence.

Gakupo knew what kind of existence Sapphire was to Miku, and it was impossible for Miku to reveal the news to her anyway. The only explanation was that Sapphire was deliberately testing his truth with a lie that he could not expose.

This woman is indeed not to be underestimated.

"Of course, although I wasn't present at the signing ceremony, after all, you are investing in our company, so how could you not know about me?" Gakupo laughed, "But since we are already in a cooperative relationship, why bother?" What to do?"

Hearing that, Sapphire lowered his eyes and chuckled, "You always only have benefits in your eyes, right?"

Gakupo was noncommittal, still just looking at her with a smile.After all, Sapphire, as a woman, and more importantly, as a mother, is still prone to being emotional, but it's amazing that Sapphire has remained calm until now.

"It's impossible for you to understand this feeling. Do you know how painful I was at that time?" Sapphire smiled wryly, "A mother, her only child, doesn't want...he doesn't want to recognize each other..."

Gakupo looked at her indifferently, he knew that he finally had a narrow edge over her in this emotional move.

"Then you took away his only sister? Wouldn't it make him prejudice against you?" Gakupo knew very well that he shouldn't say such a thing, but for some reason he questioned it .

"I know, of course I know," Sapphire's voice trembled, "but everything that could have been saved, I have personally destroyed it."

Seeing that Sapphire was about to shed tears, Gakupo's tone softened: "No, you are his mother after all, what unresolved resentment can there be between relatives?"

Sapphire smiled helplessly: "I think this is the end of today, you and I have talked enough."

Gakupo understood what she meant, so he didn't stop her.He knew that Sapphire was only temporarily dazzled by emotion, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible for a smart person like her to do such an outrageous thing.

"Okay, come out." Seeing Sapphire's figure disappear from the stairs, Gakupo said.

The girl with long turquoise hair came out from behind the partition wall and stared at the stairs Sapphire walked by without saying a word.

"You also saw how unwise it is to deal with this woman if it wasn't for mentioning your brother," Gakupo leaned on the sofa with his back to her, "you should have seen it more clearly than me."

"During this period, she has been treating me very well," the girl said, "but I didn't expect that she would actually use me to threaten my brother. This doesn't seem like something she would do."

"Who can say clearly about feelings?" Gakupo lowered his head and smiled.

"Speaking of which, do you always think that my brother is a very simple person?" the girl said suddenly.

Gakupo closed his eyes and didn't speak.

"My brother and Sapphire are really too similar, but it's not just her appearance that my brother followed her." The girl lowered her eyes, but she didn't know what she was alluding to in the next sentence, "Sapphire is so smart, Scaryly clever.

As usual, the moment Gakupo turned on the light when he got home, what Gakupo saw was Kaito sitting quietly on the sofa.He crossed his fingers on his body, leaned back on the sofa with his eyes closed, and turned his head slightly to look at Gakupo at the door when he felt the light turn on.

Gakupo thought of last night, obviously the self who didn't want to irritate him last, but hurt him the most again.

He didn't know when Kaito started to hear his conversation, maybe he really misunderstood deeply, but Gakupo didn't try to defend himself - there is no way to defend the truth.

Moreover, what needs to be faced now is far more than this one thing.

Can he accept this fact again? ——The person who took away his sister was his biological mother? ——Is his current mental state really able to sustain it?

Gakupo walked to Kaito and sat down, and when he raised his head again, he suddenly realized how familiar this scene was—the pair of blue eyes were so calm that no one could see a trace of sadness or joy.

Gakupo looked at him for a long time before he asked, "Do you feel better recently?"

Kaito closed his eyes and smiled slightly: "It's always been fine."

Is it because of what happened last night? Gakupo thought, but he also knew that Kaito had been stimulated too much by now, and any wrong word could cause irreparable damage.

At the same time, a crisp ringtone suddenly rang, and Gakupo took out the phone, and the girl's call appeared on the screen, and Gakupo frowned—even though he knew she would definitely call, but now was too bad a time.

If he hung up, there might be suspicion there; but if he answered, even if he went out to pick it up by himself - he looked up at Kaito - he would always notice something.

Kaito turned to look out the window without saying a word.The two were silent, only the uninterrupted ringing of the bell echoed in the room.When the ringing was almost over, Kaito stood up abruptly and pulled the phone from Gakupo's hand.

Gakupo watched him take his mobile phone and looked at the screen with a calm face. He flicked his finger on the screen of the mobile phone, and the swipe turned out to be in the direction of answering.

Kaito held the phone close to his face and whispered, "Hello?"

The girl over there suddenly panicked after hearing his voice.

"Miku, it's me, don't be afraid." Kaito lowered his voice.
