Chapter 2149
Gail lowered her head. “Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Puzo.”
Fabio patted her shoulder and turned around to look at Buchanon. It was only then Buchanon came around to his senses and said, “Ms. Leroy, you indeed are one hell of a killer.”
Not only had she chopped his head off, but she even brought the head back. It was not something that anyone could do.
Fabio retracted his hand and sat on the couch. “How about the mole? Did you discover anything?”
Buchanon had been startled by the head, so it was only now that he came around to his senses. When he heard Fabio’s question, cold beads of sweat began to ooze from his forehead as he remembered what Donald had told him.
He looked at Gail and forced a smile on his face. “I’ve checked everyone in the Parkin Chamber of Commerce. There’s nothing wrong with them, but…”
“But what?” Fabio placed the cup of tea near his lips.
Buchanon told him about the fight Manuel had with Sunny in front of the hospital that day. He lifted his head and continued. “Manuel said that the woman he saw that day looked a lot like… Ms. Leroy.”
Gail squinted and clenched her fists tightly inside her sleeves.
Fabio emptied the tea and glanced at Gail.
Gail asked, “Mr. Gibson, are you sure I’m the person that Manuel said he saw?”
Maintaining the smile on his face, Buchanon replied, “He just said that that woman looks a lot like you.”
“So, are you implying that Mr. Wyatt has been colluding with the Southern Clan?”
Sensing Fabio’s piercing gaze, Buchanon hastily said, “Of course not! That’s not what I’m saying!”
Holding the empty cup in his hand, Fabio chimed in and asked, “So what are you trying to say?”
Buchanon’s back was filled with sweat. “This was Manuel’s speculation, and I’m concerned about your safety, Mr. Puzo.”
Gail smiled. “Everyone knows where I was that day, so go ahead if you want to check anything. Before I came to the East Islands, I worked for Mr. Wyatt, but my master now is Mr. Puzo. What’s in it for me to help the Southern Clan? Could it be that Mr. Southern Sr. is my master?”
