Exposing the Charade of Deep Affection (PDF) novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56 Was it too hasty to look for the next home now? 

The elevator doors opened, he walked in, didn’t answer my question, but the meaning was clear, Thomas had indeed escaped. 

I pursed my lips, my mind quickly catching up, and looked at him, “So, Ryan was also involved in Thomas’s money laundering? And he also escaped?” He had just come out of the Conner Group, he must have gone to the Conner Group to look for Ryan, but didn’t find him, so he thought of bringing me to find Abagail, trying to get something out of Abagail. 

He looked at me, his handsome eyebrows slightly raised, his voice deep as he said, “Not too stupid, after all.” 

I… 

Was this a compliment? Why did it sound a bit awkward to me? 

Ignoring him, the elevator doors opened and I was the first to step out, heading towards Abagail’s house. However, as soon as I exited the elevator, I noticed that the door to Abagail’s house was slightly ajar. 

Seeing this situation, Walter and I exchanged a glance, both tacitly thinking that something might have happened to Abagail. 

I hurriedly pushed open the door and entered Abagail’s house, searched all around, but found no one. Seeing this situation, I couldn’t help but look at Walter and said, “She and Ryan have gone abroad.” 

Walter’s brow furrowed slightly, and after a moment, he shook his head slightly, saying, “Impossible.”

“Why couldn’t it be possible? She was Ryan’s wife, there’s no way Ryan would go abroad without her…” I didn’t continue speaking. After all, a couple is like birds of the same forest, when disaster strikes, they each fly their separate ways. Moreover, Abagail had previously, in her delirium, confessed to killing Ryan, stabbing him over a dozen times. 

A man who subconsciously wanted to kill his own wife, even if he loved her deeply, might hesitate to take her with him when disaster struck. 

Seeing Walter silent, I looked at him and said, “If Ryan isn’t taking her, then where would she go? Besides, judging from the situation in this room, it’s clear that Abagail might have left in a hurry.” 

Walter roughly scanned the house, pursing his lips, “She must have been taken away by someone Ryan sent. It seems she indeed knows something about Ryan, otherwise, Ryan wouldn’t have thought of her at this time.” 

I pursed my lips, “Where would Ryan have taken Abagail if he didn’t take her abroad?” 

Walter didn’t say a word, pursing his thin lips as he left Abagail’s house. I intended to call the police, but Walter stopped me. He finally spoke, “The police don’t know the truth. Even if we call them, they won’t be able to do much for a while.” 

“What should we do then?” I felt a bit of a headache, “What if Ryan had malicious intentions and wanted to silence someone by killing them? Wouldn’t Abagail be in danger then?” 

Let’s not talk about getting any information from Abagail for now. After all, Abagail is a life. If we don’t involve the police, I’m afraid it might end up costing a life. 

Walter shook his head, his handsome brows smoothing slightly as he

looked at me and said, “He knows better than anyone the difference in severity between murder and embezzlement. So, he wouldn’t be so foolish. He must have hidden Abagail somewhere.” 

After his reminder, I did realize that indeed, if one killed a person, it would be a capital crime. Even if he had the money to flee abroad, he would probably never be able to return to his home country in his lifetime. Otherwise, what awaited him would be a lifetime of 

imprisonment. 

With that thought, I also calmed down and followed Walter out of the community. 

Standing by the car, seeing that I wasn’t preparing to get in, he furrowed his brows slightly, “What’s wrong?” 

When I came, I was forcibly brought here by him. Now that the matter is settled, I naturally wouldn’t plan to continue with him. I pursed my lips and said. “I’ll take a taxi later, you go ahead!”
