Chapter 1712
Someone knocked on the door, and Ean walked into the study. “Sir, are you looking for me?”
“I asked you to find the traitor. Have you looked into it or not?” Ken glared at him with his gloomy eyes.
Ean lowered his head and seemed to have an idea of how he should respond. “Sir, I’ve already checked it out, but I haven’t been able to confirm my investigation just yet.”
“Why the f*ck would it take you so long to confirm something !” Ken swept all the documents off the table, walked up to Ean, and grabbed the front of his shirt.“ Who is it?”
Ean clenched the hands that were resting on his sides and replied, “It’s Mr. Matthews’s men. He and Nollace have already joined forces, and they know you planned to use Mr. Reese’s death to frame him.”
The veins on the back of Ken’s hand bulged. “Why would Nollace have evidence of the cause of Jonah Reese’s death? I remember asking you to eradicate every piece of evidence related to his death.”
He glared at Ean and lowered his voice. “Did you betray me?”
Ean was sweating profusely on his back. “Sir, why would
you think I betrayed you? And how would I do so?”
Ken looked at him and seemed to want to capture some hint from his expression. After a short moment, Ken let go of him, turned around, and stopped in front of the window. “Ean, how have I treated you all this while?”
Ean lowered his gaze and took a deep breath. “You’ve been very kind to me, sir.”
“I’m glad that you know that. Now, it’s time for you to repay me.”
Ean was startled.
Ken turned his head, and his gaze stopped on Ean’s face.” I’ll pay you a sum of money to take the fall for me. And I’ll still hire you when you get out of prison.” After Ean left the room, Ken made a phone call. “Book two boat tickets for me to Bilmark. I’ll be leaving tomorrow. As for Ean, he can’t be spared.”
He did not believe that Ean would take the blame for him and not sell him out to the police. For the sake of making sure, he could only sacrifice him. Colton answered Nollace’s call in the afternoon and came to the hospital. Freyja was slightly flustered when it was mentioned that the police were searching for Ken.
