RISE OF THE HEIRS: Getting Rid of The Traitor 206
In an instant, the sirens of the police car were blaring, prompting Arthur to get up. He quickly circled the car and tried to revive the unconscious Jill."Mum, wake up, mum! Mum!" Arthur pecked Jill lightly on the cheek. Then he shook his mother-in-law's shoulders to bring her to her senses. "Mrs Reynolds! Shit!"Unfortunately, Jill never regained consciousness. Meanwhile, the sirens of the police car kept approaching until he was pressed. Inevitably, Arthur fled the scene. He left Jill unconscious, with blood running down her forehead and ending at her chin.In a hurry, Arthur looked for another exit from the two primary routes. He hid right in a pickup truck to avoid police officers.Phil and Edward had already arrived from both directions. Several ambulances were also coming from the other direction until no vehicles could pass. Quickly, they tried to evacuate Pete, who seemed to have survived the severe damage to the car.Some medics were also carrying Jill into the ambulance whe

"Are you getting crazy? I'm telling the truth! Arthur accompanied me in the car! He kept provoking me there to crash into Pete's car! He even kept calling someone to come surround Pete from the opposite direction! You can check it out on the dashcam, right?"Jill, who was forcibly taken to the police station, couldn't do much. Her handcuffed hands were busy pulling her hair in frustration. There was an even bigger grudge in her chest about Arthur leaving her alone."We did find a lot of male footprints around the scene, Mrs Reynolds. We also checked around the scene to see where Arthur was hiding if he was with you when the accident happened. Unfortunately, we didn't find anyone. There was no one else there. So there's a good chance you're just having a hallucination, just like the description you gave about Mrs Fischer being in the car."Jill lost her temper. She pounded on the table and stood up very arrogantly."Hallucination you say? You can check all the CCTVs, Allen! It's obviou

"You found him?"Aland asked anxiously. He had contacted many people to find the missing Arthur. He had also searched every street around Sparks Avenue just to find Arthur, who had disappeared without a trace.Unfortunately, Aland's men had yet to find any leads. No one knew Arthur's whereabouts. Even his phone couldn't be traced to find any leads. There were no clues that could lead them to where Arthur was hiding."Sorry, Mr Fischer. There aren't any clues. He even took off his shoes there to get rid of the trail. So we couldn't find him."Aland was busy rubbing his chest. Not only was he deeply concerned about Arthur's freedom, but also about the money that Edward thought was missing, even if it was only one million pounds."Please tighten the security. We can't let our guard down, even for a moment. Please keep Shannon safe for me there, Cedric, Joe. I'm counting on you."Cedric nodded in understanding. Although the call was not directed at him, but seeing Aland's anxiety through

Arthur was running along the trail barefoot when he found the food that had been dropped. Without hesitation, he quickly enjoyed the food after hiding back in the pickup truck. Who would have thought? The pickup truck would take him away from Sparks Avenue via another road that would go undetected by CCTV.Greedily, Arthur finished a packet of sandwiches in no time. It wasn't quite morning yet, but he was already starving. Slowly but surely, he who was already full, looking for something to drink. Luckily, the pickup truck stopped at a refuelling centre.Arthur finally got out of the car and went to the toilet to change his clothes. It was impossible for him to dress so neatly if he was living on the streets. He also brought the bag that he had been clutching tightly.Inside the men's loo, he saw some clothes hanging there. Shabby clothes that smelled even from afar of the owner's body odour.As nauseating and disgusting as it was, Arthur had no choice. He didn't want to be caught eas

Aland and Pete had returned safely to the Fischer family's old home after a series of questions from their testimonies on the collision, as well as the mega corruption that had been closed in the previous twenty-four hours. Aland quickly sat down on the sofa to catch up on some work that had been left undone and then signed off on all the paperwork he was supposed to have completed last night."They're going to see Shannon, aren't they?"Pete's question caused Aland's attention to wander again, albeit briefly. But then, having mastered the situation, Aland simply nodded and resumed his work."Of course they will, Pete. Shannon's testimony is the most key."Pete reached for the glass of water on the dining table and sat down, though not at the same table. He stared out the large dining-room window with a wide-eyed stare."I didn't mean Allen and Frey. It's Arthur and Camellia. They will definitely come soon. They have a bag of money. They have a big grudge. You've prepared yourself, hu

Immediately, Frey contacted Allen through the walkie talkie. While running to follow where Aland was chasing with one leg in pain, he kept asking Phil to forget about the girl quickly."Forget her, Allen! That's not Camellia! Aland found them! He ran after Arthur, who went southeast! My team followed Lia, who went southwest! Do you hear me? Divide your team in two and surround from opposite directions right now!"Without waiting for an answer, Frey immediately cut the connection. He followed where Aland kept running towards a park that was full of people. To his surprise, he saw Aland stop running with his breath catching."What's wrong? Where is he?" Frey asked Aland who was trying to scan the crowd, noting all the visitors in order to find Arthur's whereabouts who had returned to mingle in the crowd.Aland shook his head slowly. He was still trying to get Arthur's indecipherable whereabouts, but unfortunately, he no longer saw the same signs."Most likely, he's wearing a lot of clot

"Alright, I'll be there now."Aland had just finished all of his work at both JF Groups and the mega-corruption-ridden Reynolds Industries in one sitting in his office. In a hurry, he made his way to the lift, and then down to the ground floor to head to the parking space where his car was.Without hesitation, Aland drove off, cutting through the deserted city streets in the middle of the day. Quickly, he passed by each building without thinking again about Arthur's and Camellia's whereabouts.Unfortunately, there was a car that had been following Aland's car ever since he first left JF Groups. Their grins were horrifying, especially when Aland's car could be easily overtaken."I thought he was too clever to hide his wife. But look at him now. He'll even be our guide to his young pregnant wife."Arthur nodded, confirming. Then glanced at the carry-on bag placed in the rear cabin."There's still plenty of money left, Lia. What if, after this, we steal Shannon'

"Do you think I'm the foolish one, huh?"Lia immediately followed Aland's car, even from a distance. She didn't want to lose another chance after escaping the trap set by Aland. Although inevitably, she had to risk Arthur's existence for her safety.While looking at the map in her hand, she tried to surmise where Aland would lead. Throughout the night, she had tried to find Shannon at the old Fischer home, as well as the new one, but she could not find her there.There was no other way but to follow Aland to find the whereabouts of the young pregnant step-sister. At a below-average speed, she kept Aland's car within eyesight. Unfortunately, Aland's car was not heading towards the hospital area as she had expected."Where exactly did he hide her?"Suddenly, she remembered Arthur's request the night before. She remembered every detail of the sentence Arthur had given her when Arthur contacted her before the accident."Did you hear me? Come and help us surround
