Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1540

After saying all that, Carl said nothing further since he knew that Gabriella would surely have questions for him.

“Don’t the assassins know who you are when you’ve already contacted them?”

After all, Gabriella had some knowledge about assassins from hearsay.

The majority of them were purportedly locals though there were also plenty from other countries. They had undergone specialized training and lived solely to carry out assassinations. Besides, they merely asked for money without ever bothering about who hired them. Hmm… they’re indeed the best choice to do this.

“They’re assassins, so they never asked for my name. For safety purposes, even the phone number I’m using to contact them is registered under a false name. Thus, you can rest assured about that.”

“Since you’ve already done all the preparations, why did you seek me out?” Gabriella was very much puzzled.

“Don’t tell me you sought me out just to pull me into this so that I’ll shoulder the risk with you? You’re truly vicious, Carl Johnson!” Gabriella snarled furiously as she gritted her teeth.

The more she pondered upon it, the greater her conviction that such was indeed his intentions.

Nevertheless, she naturally didn’t dare raise her voice as they were speaking of something shady.

“Why would you think that? Of course, I wouldn’t do such a thing when I love you so much,” Carl hurriedly cajoled in a soft voice when he saw that she was on the verge of blowing her top.

“I sought you out because I need your help in terms of connections and financial support.”

Carl finally revealed his ultimate goal.

“What do you mean?” Gabriella asked despite seemingly comprehending something or other after listening to him.

“I’m no longer the heir of the family business now. Although it was merely an insignificant family in the grand scheme of things, it still provided me much help in terms of financial backing. Now, however, I have nothing except for the few hundreds of thousands in my bank card,” Carl admitted helplessly.
