Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1490

Alejandro casually took a puff of his cigarette from the other end. “Seaton S. Bart? Are you seeing things in your old age? Didn’t we verify this? He’s dead. Are you implying that he somehow managed to escape?”

Mark was annoyed. “I’m double-checking, just in case. It’d be great if it wasn’t him, but if it is, we have to find him as soon as possible. If it doesn’t matter to you, then, let’s pretend I didn’t call you. If someone kills you, don’t blame me for not warning you.” He ended the call immediately after that.

Alejandro put down his phone, let out a puff of smoke, and summoned Jett. “I asked you to keep tabs on Seaton in prison. Did you manage to get a confirmation? Is Seaton still alive?”

“He’s dead,” Jett replied confidently, “A man like him wouldn’t be able to survive more than a few days in prison with those hardened criminals. How could a businessman possibly use business tactics on those kinds of people? In prison, people communicate with their fists. Besides, we’ve even given a bribe. Why? Is he still alive? That’s not possible though…”

Alejandro put out his cigarette. His eyes filled with cynicism. “Who knows? Maybe a businessman like him is so good at bartering that he managed to save his own life. His company might have been sold, but no one knows how many hidden assets he has. Maybe someone in his family helped him with a bribe. Mark suspects that he’s still alive. So check again. That way, we’ll all sleep better. If he’s really alive and is in the capital, we have a huge problem. He’s a newly-escaped convict. He only has two options now; either he hides away in the darkness and lives out his ignoble existence like an insect, never to show his face in public again or he’ll risk everything for revenge for the sake of wiping away his humiliation. Based on my knowledge of him, he’ll never be content with living the rest of his life like an insect.”

Jett was slightly convinced. Was it possible? Did Seaton really manage to escape from prison? He calmed himself and said, “I’ll check again and give you an update as soon as possible.”
