Chapter 157
Robert and Frederick had been buddies for almost two decades. Robert knew Frederick so well that he could pick him out of a pile of ash. So, when Robert had just finished restoring a photo, he immediately recognized the figure In It. That unyielding silhouette was Frederick himself
Frederick took a glance at the photo, his eyes were very sharp.
Frederick, you’re being snooped on, Robert declared steadfastly
Frederick had an aura that was rather unsettling, “Is Maurice Winston behind this?”
Robert shook his head. “Not sure. The photo was brought to me by a woman. Are you suspecting she’s Maurice’s henchwoman?”
What’s her name?”
“She goes by Smiley online. I don’t know her real name, Robert crossed his arms, his alert expression indicating deep thought. “But if she’s really Maurice’s henchwoman, this is a sloppy job My contact details are no secret, and our friendship is common knowledge. Would Maurice be dumb enough to ask me to investigate you? I doubt it”
Frederick rubbed his temples, his gaze piercing. He was about to dial a number on the landline when Robert reached over and hung up the phone.
The man looked up, his puzzled eyes brimming with anger.
Robert knew he wanted to dig into this matter and, without a doubt, he would end up tracing it back to Smiley
But having known Smiley for two years, Robert found her to be easygoing and a bit scatterbrained, not at all the scheming type.
He feared this might be a misunderstanding and he didn’t want to harm an innocent person
After all, Frederick’s methods were not something an ordinary person could handle
“Get your hand off, Frederick warned
Robert met his gaze, “If she’s really Maurice’s minion, investigating this through your contacts would set off alarm bells. But I’ve known her for two years, and if I do it, she’ll let her guard down. It’ll make things easier”
Saying this, Robert pulled out his phone and opened his chat with Smiley, typing briefly, “I’m back in Stonebridge City Meet up in a couple of days?”
“So this is Yuna’s home?”
