The next morning, Theodore and Preston met each other in the backyard. Theodore gave the proof that he had promised before. Theodore gave the necklace and the photo of Hawthorne’s family.“Do you see the necklace?” Theodore pointed out the necklace on Spencer’s neck. “I need you to find the truth. Is Spencer burning out company or not?”“But, Mr. Spencer is still in jail.” Preston looked at Theodore.“But, we never know. Maybe, there is someone else who does that for him.”“Alright, I will make sure of everything.” Preston nodded his head and kept the necklace and photo inside his suit pocket.“Inform anything to me and don’t let anyone know about this, including Landon.”“Yes, sir.” Preston knew this was an important job for him.After getting the order, Preston immediately headed to the hospital. Preston confirmed whose fingerprints were on the necklace. Preston asked for help from the forensics department at the Hawthorne family's regular hospital.“How long will it take?” Preston
On the way, Preston had another thought. Preston wanted to make sure of something first before giving a report to Theodore. Preston turned the steering wheel and headed towards what was none other than the prison.Preston wanted to make sure that Spencer was still in prison and that he really hadn't done anything. “Good afternoon, I'd like to see Mr. Spencer.” Preston said to the policeman on guard.“Okay, just a moment.” The policeman sent Preston to the waiting room and then called Spencer.Preston waited patiently as he organized all the questions and statements in his head. A few minutes later, Spencer walked up to Preston and gave him a confused look. Spencer knew it was unusual for Preston to come to visit him so Spencer just stayed silent and sat down.“What are you doing here?” A flat question given by Spencer to Preston.“How are you?” Preston asked carefully and gently.“Nothing special, I just want to get out of here.” Spencer answered honestly.Preston could not comment on
“Landon, I want to ask you something.” Theodore started with a common sentence but his voice made him shiver.“Yes, sir?” Landon replied while looking into his eyes.Theodore’s eyes felt so intimidating and firm. Landon tried to control himself because he knew he did nothing wrong. Landon kept his eyes on him and they talked eye-to-eye. Theodore gave him a lot of questions about the incident.“Did you really go home for this holiday?” Theodore started from the beginning.“Yes, sir. I went home together with Preston using the bus.” Landon explained it in detail.“Alright, how do you know about the incident?” Theodore deliberately asked broadly.“I know it from Preston,” said Landon slowly.“Which one of you comes first to the place?” Theodore knew the answer but he did want to know from Landon.“Me, sir.” Landon heard that Preston answered this before, so Landon would answer the same.“When exactly did you come to the Haw & Co. and what already happened there?” Theodore wanted an exact
Theodore and Samantha already jumped into the car. Theodore drove with a straight face which could be recognized by Samantha. Samantha, who was sitting beside him while mirroring herself, noticed it.“Is there something wrong, baby?” Samantha pulled off her mirror and looked at Theodore who was still silent.“No, nothing.” Theodore didn’t want to talk about it right now, so he just smiled.“Are you sure? You are looking so empty.” Samantha grabbed Theodore’s hand and stroked it a little bit.“I am okay, baby.” Theodore answered quickly and glared at her. “We almost arrived.”“Yes, it is so near.” Samantha smiled back and nodded.Two minutes later, Theodore already parked his car in front of the door. Theodore and Samantha jumped out from the car together and then he held her hand. Samantha looked so happy when Theodore did a small thing to her. Theodore smiled back to her genuinely.Meanwhile, Preston stayed at home and waited for Landon. Preston planned to invite Landon to investigat
“Do you know it?”Landon’s words made Preston forze in his position. Did he listen to all our discussion? That was what Preston thought at that second time. Preston didn’t know how to respond to that kind of question.“What do you mean? Do what I know, what?” Preston replied with questions too while managing his expressions.“Do you know that the culprit was Mr. Spencer?” Landon made his question clear enough.Preston took a deep and sighed in relief. He just thought that Landon knew everything. Preston held his smile a little and managed his straight face.“I don’t know, but it is make sense since Mr. Spencer and Sir Theodore don’t have a good relationship.” Preston gave the reason too.“You are right.” Landon nodded his head.“But, is it possible if there are two culprits or more in this incident?” Landon kept asking Preston while they were standing still in front of Theodore’s working room.“I don’t know, maybe.” Preston titled his head. “Why are you asking like that? Do you know s
Theodore went into his office room and Landon followed him from behind. Landon’s heart was beating so fast until it could be heard from outside. Theodore stopped in front of his work desk and put both of his hands around his waist.Landon kept looking down and walked in, “Close the door!” Theodore ordered in sharp.Landon followed his instruction and closed the door behind him. Theodore was walking front and back at a fast pace. Theodore was looking so angry and messed up.“Landon,” said Theodore, calling his name.“Yes, sir?” Landon couldn’t look at Theodore’s eyes at all.“Do you know I call you here?” Theodore asked while trying to control his emotion.“No, si-”Theodore hit the table beside him until it made a loud banging which made Landon jump. Landon’s hands were shaking but he couldn’t go anywhere. Theodore walked towards him and pulled up his face. Now, they met eye-to-eye.“You want to tell me or I should pull out all of the facts?” Theodore's voice burned his ears.Landon k
Theodore and Landon looked at each other intensely. Landon was ready to fight and so did Theodore. Landon started to make his first move by putting the knife beside Theodore’s neck and Theodore paused in that place for a moment.“Do you want a fight or die as a coward?” Landon asked and sliced a little piece of Theodore’s neck until it bled.Theodore grabbed Landon's hands and twisted it away. But, Landon already anticipated that move so he could let his hand go from Theodore. Theodore moved to the opposite side while Landon started to swing the knife to Theodore again.Theodore moved swiftly and smoothly while punching Landon’s stomach and chest. Landon didn’t know that Theodore could move that fast and hurt him. Landon never knew that Theodore had the ability to fight. Of course, it made Landon more angry while he held his stomach.“We can stop this if you surrender and explain everything to the police.” Theodore said to find a middle way.But, Landon disagreed. “No, you are the one
“How is he?” Samantha was running to the emergency room and asked Preston as she saw him.Preston was sitting down in front of the emergency room while shaking his feet. Preston stood up when he saw Samantha come. “The doctor is still inside.”“How can this happen?” Samantha asked in panic and short breath because she had to run from the front door into the emergency room.“It is a long story, but I just arrived when they were already in blood.” Preston told her the truth.Samantha, who heard what he just explained, started to cry. Samantha cried and walked into the window, Samantha tried to look inside and found out what happened. Preston tried to hold her back and calmed her down.“Mrs., everything will be alright.” Preston only could say that thing.“I need to see him,” shouted Samantha, making a little chaos.“Mrs., please let the doctor do his job. We just need to wait,” said Preston pulled her back but she was very strong enough.“Theo! I am here! Can you hear me?” Samantha crie
