I'm back on my track, chapters every day :3
The clues provided by Bettie were too few, not enough to lead Alex to any answers. This made him even more anxious and panicked than ever before."Do... do you remember the appearance of those two men? Can you describe them?" Alex asked Bettie.Alex was furious and disappointed with Bettie, but now was not the time to address that issue, although he would not let it slide.When asked by Alex, Bettie lowered her head trembling, trying to recall and recollect the faces and appearances of the two men. However, at that moment, it was as if an external force was impacting her mind, causing everything to become jumbled, and Bettie couldn't concentrate."They... one was about 1.8 meters tall, the other was about 1.6 meters tall, dark-skinned, and black hair..."Hearing Bettie's description like that, Alex truly felt like going crazy. He put his hand on his head, then turned to Jowley and said, "Utilize all my connections, request the police to investigate this case. Oh, and yes, go to that c
Kimberlys Corporation, Office of the CEO,"Oh my, what's so important that you had to come to find me at this time?"Less than thirty minutes later, the mayor arrived at Henry's private office. As he walked in, he saw Henry hastily grabbing his coat and tidying up some documents as if preparing to go somewhere.What could make him look so rushed and urgent?The mayor speculated as he entered, constantly pondering in his mind. If Henry had obtained important documents from Forest Corporation, how could the mayor investigate without revealing his intentions? Asking too directly could easily lead to exposure. But the problem was that the mayor had no reason to inquire about it.Sweat dripped down the mayor's forehead as his hands rubbed together incessantly. He was currently caught in a dilemma, indeed a tricky situation!Henry's question brought the mayor back to reality. In a short moment, he mentally calmed himself from the door to Henry's desk. Then, as he halted his steps, he slight
Looking at Loki's hand reaching out in front of him, the mayor felt as if it was the hand of the Grim Reaper, saying, "Give me your head," not the phone."He trembled, gripping the phone tightly in his hand. Seeing this, Loki frowned, showing impatience, and repeated once again, "Give me the phone."The mayor thought that there was no way out at this point. If he didn't hand it over, Loki would resort to force to take the phone.Slowly and shakily, the mayor raised his hand, holding the phone. Loki, not wanting to wait any longer, snatched the mayor's phone and opened it.He immediately went to the call log and looked at the most recent call the mayor had made. Immediately after, a name caught his eye... "My... my baby?" followed by a red heart emoji.Upon seeing those words, the mayor's furrowed brow and worried expression eased, and all the doubts in his heart vanished like a block of ice melting in the summer heat.Loki cheerfully returned the phone to the mayor, patting him on the
As Jowley was following closely behind Alex, he was able to act immediately upon receiving his command. Just as Henry was about to turn onto a one-way street, Jowley's car suddenly zoomed past, blocking Henry's car's path. The action was abrupt, catching Henry off guard, and he crashed directly into Jowley's car. If anyone else had been in his shoes and encountered this situation, they would likely be hopping mad, and Henry was no exception. He quickly got out of his car, approached the two cars, and noticed the scratches on his car. This further infuriated Henry, and he banged forcefully on Jowley's car window, shouting:"You miserable fool! Are you insane? Why did you suddenly block my way? Is your mind functioning properly? Open the car door and come out here to talk to me!"The car collision and Henry's loud remarks attracted the attention of onlookers. However, Jowley, of course, kept his car window up and remained seated inside. Seeing this, Henry became even more cheesed off. He
But, of course, Henry was not quickly subdued or pressured. He constantly swerved out, causing the two cars to collide repeatedly. Henry's car rammed into Alex's, causing him to stagger in the outer lane, almost losing control and veering off. Alex gritted his teeth, gripping the steering wheel tightly, simultaneously keeping an eye on Henry's car and the road ahead.He honked, hoping Henry would come to his senses and stop the car. Couldn't he sense the danger of driving on this road? Did he want to clutch that paperwork to his chest and die?And just as Alex had those thoughts, Henry stubbornly refused to stop the car and accelerated even faster ahead. He crashed into the front of Alex's car, sending it careening into the outer lane, and then Henry sped past."Damn it, he's gone mad! What the hell does he want?" Alex punched the steering wheel, determined to make him stop before something worse happened.At that moment, he suddenly saw Henry heading straight toward the front of a sem
International General Hospital, Jack had been at the hospital taking care of Mrs. Locke for the past few days. He wasn't sure if she had forgiven him yet, and because of the car incident, he didn't dare to do anything that might upset her. His phone suddenly rang as he sat there peeling fruit for Mrs. Locke. He discreetly took it out and glanced at the screen, only to discover that the caller was Henry. Jack quickly stuffed the phone back into his pocket, unsure of what Henry wanted. Perhaps he had forgotten to inform Henry about his current situation, and now it wasn't convenient for Jack to take the call.At that moment, Jack tried to appear as calm as possible, then turned to Mrs. Locke and said, "Grandma, may I use the restroom?"Mrs. Locke, engrossed in browsing Ozlana's latest collection on her iPad, nodded absentmindedly. "Sure, go ahead."Once outside, Jack found a secluded corner to listen to the phone call. As he answered the call, he heard Henry's maniacal laughter."Ha ha
Germ, the butler, struggled to break free from Jack's control. He pushed Jack away and sneered at him, saying, "If you don't want others to hear or know about this, then do as we agreed. Otherwise, I'll tell Madam."Henry glared at Germ with frustration, thinking the older man was nothing but trouble, ruining his plans. However, Germ was now also a threat to Jack. Everything would end if he couldn't find a way to appease Germ. Jack couldn't bear to imagine Mrs. Locke's expression if she found out about this.Therefore, Jack lowered his voice and said, "Alright, I'll find a way to go home, sell the jewelry as agreed, and share the money with you. You don't have to worry too much, alright?"Jack patted Germ on the shoulder and intended to find an excuse to leave. But then, his wrist was caught again, just like before.Jack felt irritated, his eyebrows furrowing tightly. However, he suddenly seemed to realize something, and his eyebrows relaxed, returning his face to normal. He turned to
Alex looked at Phil through the usual questions and felt that the boy had nothing suspicious or unusual about him. Yes, he had been trying to test and probe Phil since earlier. But Phil seemed normal.So at this moment, Alex took Phil's hand and said, "You must have been terrified. It's all my fault. I have implicated you and your family, and I'm very sorry."He didn't intend to directly address the issue of Kimberlys or the fire, even though Phil had already mentioned it to Tom Holland, and Alex was aware of that. But in his opinion, Phil's health was still unstable, and he had a more pressing matter to resolve. So Alex decided to put this matter aside for now, as it was a trap he had set, and he didn't need to use it."So you rest, don't worry about anything else; I will visit you later," Alex said. He only visited Phil to check on him briefly because he suspected that a child who could say those things to Tom Holland must be extraordinary. At the same time, Alex wanted to see how P
