Chapter 123

"Can't say?"

Suzuki Shiro suddenly felt a strange, inexplicable flutter.

He had encountered this situation once in his former business dealings, and every time he trusted his intuition, he had won handsomely.

He suddenly calmed down.

His gaze, calm and collected, fixed on Sonoko.

"Sonoko, are you sure you know?"

"I'm sure."

"So, is it because of some special reason that you refuse to speak?"

"Mm."

A sudden question, sharp and unpredictable as a neurotic blade.

"Is it because of the mystery?"

"Mm... Mm!?"

Suzuki Sonoko suddenly widened her eyes, realizing she had said the wrong thing.

Good heavens!

Suzuki Shiro's breath even halted for a moment.

He never expected that the news he most wanted to know would be right here with Sonoko.

"Dad! You're cheating!"

Hearing Sonoko's accusation, Suzuki Shiro was in an extremely good mood at that moment.

"All is fair in war."

"Who told you to be so uncalm? You gave it away with just one bluff."

"And you clearly knew I had taken an interest in those things, yet you still hid it from me."

"Now that you need my help, you can't even let me bluff a little?"

Seeing Sonoko's face full of embarrassment, Suzuki Shiro laughed heartily and leaned back on the sofa.

"I won't pry into your affairs."

"Nor will I investigate that classmate you came into contact with."

"But you must tell me the moment you are able to speak, the very first instant."

"As a promise, I have exchanged those maple leaf gold coins for you."

"How about that?"

With the mysterious intelligence so close at hand, he was actually in no rush.

Looking at Sonoko's expression, the father and daughter were truly very similar in certain aspects.

With Sonoko as this channel, he didn't need to worry anxiously.

He had the patience to wait for that answer to arrive.

"Hmm... Alright."

Suzuki Sonoko puffed out her cheeks.

Although she was very angry about falling for her father's trick.

Yet she had no choice but to agree to the request her father put forward.

She knew her allowance money was not enough to redeem the maple leaf gold coins.
