Twin Treasures: The CEO Wife's 99-Day of Revelations

Chapter 501: Chapter 501: Shaking Hands and Making Peace

Kristina Kingston was slightly taken aback, looking at the hand in front of her. She felt a ringing in her ears and reached out to shake it.

Anton Miller clasped her hand, though he didn’t understand why he was even willing to engage with her.

Justin Kingston and Mia Lane watched the scene anxiously.

Anton Miller sighed softly, a gentle smile curling his lips, ”Let’s not talk about the past. I hope the rest of your lives will be peaceful.”

He released his hand, tucked both hands into his trouser pockets, and looked at Justin Kingston and Mia Lane, his trademark light smile playing on his lips, ”I’ll be going now. Thank you for your gracious hospitality.”

As he turned to leave, Justin Kingston also stepped forward and followed him out.

The moonlight was bright, and the night deepened.

The silvery moonlight softly spilled over the earth, the courtyard filled with the chirping of cicadas, the scent of the night weaving a soft net that enveloped all the scenes.

Anton Miller reached the Volvo, then turned to look at the man who had followed him out.

”I wasn’t responsible for the car accident involving your mom and my dad.” For this matter, Justin Kingston had never explained, even though the media had pointed all fingers at the 18-year-old him.

Bringing it up proactively now slightly startled Anton Miller internally. Ha, tonight was indeed unusual!

The two brothers’ gazes met.

Justin Kingston spoke gently, ”When the accident happened, my car was just passing by. It was a coincidence.”

In truth, Anton Miller no longer cared about this truth, because it was meaningless.

He said nothing, extending his right hand toward Justin Kingston, just like earlier in the living room, seemingly his only way to express his stance.

Justin Kingston lowered his gaze, extending his hand to grasp it.

The warmth transmitted through their palms was significant at this moment, a handshake of reconciliation.

”Brother.” Anton Miller initiated speaking for the first time. This term had been repressed in his heart for many years, ”Everyone should be well from now on.”

Justin Kingston felt a warm surge in his heart. This ”Brother” was truly invaluable to him.

”Mm.”

They held hands for a moment before Anton Miller let go, smiling as he said, ”I need to get back. Ian Shelby has been urging me for a while. Although I’ve recovered using the new drug, I still have to undergo observation.”

”Drive safely.”

He watched Anton Miller get into the car and observed as it drove away into the distance.

Mia Lane had been standing at the entrance of the living room, and the scene in the courtyard reflected in her eyes, making her eyes moist.

She had once imagined this day, but didn’t expect it to come so soon.

Tonight, Finn Morgan worked late, and Barbara Sutton also chose to work overtime.

Although they weren’t in the same office, they were only separated by a wall.

Barbara Sutton was sorting reports, while also paying attention to the situation outside the door.

A short while later, Finn Morgan walked past the door, causing Barbara Sutton to quickly shut down her computer, grabbed her bag, and swiftly followed him out.

The two did not take the same elevator.

By nine in the evening, there weren’t many people left working overtime in the company. Barbara Sutton stood alone in the elevator, her heart racing as she watched the red numbers decrease, hoping fervently that no one would press the elevator button.

The elevator stopped three times, with three company employees entering on different floors.

When the elevator reached the ground floor, Barbara Sutton rushed out, seeing Finn Morgan’s figure disappearing in the lobby’s revolving glass door.

She dashed after him.

Recalling that her bus and his car took the same route today, she knew she was bound to be on the same path with him.

”Special Assistant Morgan!”

Just as Finn Morgan was opening the car door to the driver’s seat, he looked up upon hearing the voice and saw Barbara Sutton running toward him.

”Where do you live?” the girl boldly inquired, ”Could you give me a ride?”

Finn Morgan replied gently, ”Celestial Heights.”

Barbara Sutton’s eyes lit up, ”I live right across!”

Finn Morgan opened the car door, ”Then hop in.”

”Great!” She grasped the handle of the passenger door but remembered a social courtesy before opening it, so she smiled and asked, ”Can I sit in the front passenger seat?”
