Chapter 273 Confession

"Greenfield?" Liam looked puzzled. "What happened there?"

"Just go and see for yourself. You can't rely solely on hearsay; seeing is believing. Of course, if yougo with the attitude of a legislator, you might not see things as they truly are."

"Alright! I'll definitely go!" Liam promised. But he didn't say when he would go. Since he planned toinvestigate quietly, he needed to keep it low-key. If he announced when he'll be going, thoseresponsible for any wrongdoing might prepare ahead of time and make his investigation futile.

With Liam in good health again, Daniel got back on the road. Greenfield was just over ten milesaway, but since the roads were mostly through the mountains and often poorly maintained, it couldeasily take an hour to drive those ten miles.

"What happened in your town?" Daniel asked Brittany curiously.

"Just take a look when you get there, okay? You country folk couldn't fix it even if you tried. It's outof your hands anyway; it's something for Liam to address since he's the legislator!"

As they talked, Brittany suddenly remembered something and stared directly at Daniel. "Is Abigailpretty?"

"Prettier than you," Daniel replied without missing a beat.

His answer sent Brittany into a fury. "Prettier than me? You country bumpkin, have you taken ashine to her or what? Before you entertain any such thoughts, you'd better take a long look in themirror and see if you're even in her league."

"What?"

"Abigail is the legislator's daughter. And what are you? Just some village boy from the sticks! You'renowhere near her status, you're way out of her league—no, there is no freaking league for you;you’re worlds apart from her!"

"So, I am just a country boy from the village, and Abigail is out of my league. But since you're fromthe village too, does that mean you’re on my level?" Daniel joked shamelessly.

"Drop dead! I got out of the mountains on my own merits. Now I'm a city girl, a New Yorker, and Ieven have my own place in New York! What about you? What are you? A grown man without evena college diploma, let alone a house. How dare you confess your feelings to me? You're not evenworthy to lick my boots."

"Confess? When did I confess anything to you? Even if you were the last woman on earth, Iwouldn't confess to you. Know this—you're being a real bitch!"

"You jerk! You piece of crap! You dare call me a bitch? I'll clobber you!"

In a rage, Brittany's fists came down like raindrops all over Daniel...

Their playful banter made the time fly by quickly. The Ranger Raptor finally arrived in Greenfield andstopped in an open space.

Just as they stepped out of the car, a beam of light shone on them. A BMW X1 pulled up behindthem. It was Brittany's cousin Emily Carter's car; her husband, Mason Carter, worked in theconstruction industry in New York.

Emily, dressed to the nines, stepped out of the car. She approached Brittany with a self-satisfied airand called out brightly, "Brittany, you're just getting here too? What's this, a pick-up truck? Oh my,didn't this little truck cost you a pretty penny?"
