Chapter 428 The Secret Is Revealed
After working for Huston for so long, Brad more or less understood his temper. Huston must be about
to get angry with his current appearance, but Brad couldn’t figure out where his anger was coming
from.
Huston seemed to have read his mind. His lips curled into a mocking smile as he said, “Tell me, why
didn’t you report that Mia left and returned to the Royal Villa to me?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the confusion in Brad’s eyes was replaced by panic. Facing Huston,
no matter how well he could disguise himself, he couldn’t deceive him. After so many days had passed,
he almost forgot.
However, his panic quickly turned into calmness. After all, when he had promised Mia that he would do
this, he had already thought about what would happen.
After two seconds of silence, Brad solemnly took two steps.
forward and stood straight in front of Huston. He bent down
and growled in a rough voice, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lloyd.”
Huston looked at the top of his head, furrowing his brows, and

Brad clenched his teeth, and his cheeks bulged. It seemed that it was very difficult for him to tell the
truth.
Huston waited for a while, but there was no reply. His eyes
were filled with coldness as he said, “Do you know that your
actions almost killed Mia?”
As he spoke, he did not let go of any of the expressions
on Brad’s face. As expected, as soon as he spoke, Brad immediately became nervous, and his tone
trembled slightly. “What happened?”
When Huston saw his reaction, he knew what was going on. “She fell into the pool accidentally when
she went back early that day. She is still in the hospital and in a critical condition. This is the
consequence of your decision without consulting
1. Can you bear the consequences?”

Brad, of course, could not bear the consequences. Not even
ten of him could bear it. Moreover, Mia was the only woman
he had ever been truly attracted to in his life, and yet he
almost caused her death…
He remembered Mia’s promise to him before she left that day.
“Don’t worry, Brad. I just want to go back early and give
Huston a surprise. I’ll be fine.”
“Please don’t tell him. Otherwise, it won’t be a surprise
anymore.”
“Can you help me for the last time? I’m begging you. You’ve always been very good to me.”
These words were still vivid in his mind, but in the blink of an
eye, she…
Brad seemed to have suffered a great blow and stepped back unsteadily. This tough man’s eyes turned
red at this time. “Mr. Lloyd, can… can I go to the hospital to see Mia?”
“Mia?” Huston heard him calling Mia by her name and chuckled coldly. He stood up from the sofa,
exuding a compelling aura. “Since when did your relationship become so intimate that you can address

Brad blurted out in a hurry and didn’t think about it at all. At this time, he realized how inappropriate he
had called her. It
was too late to cover it up.
His face turned red. And it was unclear whether it was due to urgency, anger, or the torment caused by
his own guilty secret. “Mr. Lloyd, I’m sorry!”
He didn’t know what else to say except for these three words. Thinking of the current situation of Mia,
he felt even more
guilty.
It was all because of him. Things might not have turned out like this if he hadn’t been so self-righteous.
“How is Ms. Klein’s condition now? It’s because of me that she ended up like this. I have an undeniable
responsibility. Please
tell me…”
As Brad stood before him, Huston looked at him intently. Brad had been his subordinate for so many
years. He had never seen him display such an expression before. Brad was a man as tough as a rock,
but now his eyes were filled with redness.
