Chapter 240 Handled by Charlie
Thinking of this, I looked at Idris and asked, “Can you help me get my phone back?” My phone had been taken away before the interrogation.
Seeing this, he looked at me, his mouth slightly upturned, as if he had guessed what I wanted to do. Then, he nodded. “Sure.”
Seeing his inexplicably good mood, I was a bit puzzled. However, my mind was still on finding out how to contact Inch, so I did not think much about it.
Idris quickly returned my phone. Upon taking the phone over, I immediately called Inch.
After a
few rings, the call was answered, and Inch’s voice came through, “Ms. Scott.”
Without wasting time on pleasantries, I got straight to the point over the phone, “Inch, where is Noah’s body?”
My words seemed to catch him off guard for a moment. After a pause, Inch asked, “What’s going on? Why are you suddenly asking about this?”
Without beating around the bush, I said to him, “Moore reported me for murder and hiding a body. I’ve been detained by the police, and they are currently looking for Noah’s body.”
There was a pause on the other end of the line. Inch finally said, “You’ve been detained? Are you okay?”
Seeing that he was not getting to the point, I grew anxious and said, “I’m fine. Where did you put Noah’s body?”
He seemed hesitant for a moment before replying, “The body… I don’t know. It was Mr. Yates who arranged for someone to handle it.”
“Charlie handled it?” I exclaimed, furrowing my brows in disbelief. “Didn’t you say earlier that you handled it? How…?”
Inch sounded somewhat helpless on the other end as he explained, “I was supposed to handle it originally, but Mr. Yates said he’d arrange for someone to handle it, and that it would be done more efficiently and cleanly than if I did it. So, I handed it over to him. Afterward, he was afraid you would feel indebted to him, so he didn’t let me tell you.”
I fell silent.
Looking at Idris in front of me, it was as if my brain had momentarily stalled.
Seeing me looking at him, Idris reached out and held my hand. The warmth of his palm. relaxed my tense nerves slightly. He did not speak but gestured with his eyes for me to continue.
Speaking into the phone, I said, “Are you with Mr. Yates? Can you ask him where he placed the body?”
There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and then Inch said after a few seconds, ” Here’s the thing: you should call Mr. Yates yourself. He just assigned me to handle something here in Silvana, so I won’t be able to go back for a while. But he is in the country. Give him a call and ask him.”

I furrowed my brow. Inch went to Silvana?
Taking a deep breath and resigning myself to disappointment, I could only say, “Alright.” After hanging up the phone, Idris looked at me and said, “No wonder the police couldn’t find. him.”
I was puzzled. “Did Officer Jackson go to look for Inch?”
He nodded. “When you were taken to the police station, he arranged for someone to look for him.”
I pursed my lips, feeling a bit confused.
Looking at me, he seemed strangely calm and said, “Since it’s Charlie who hid the body, call him.”
I nodded and dialed Charlie’s number.
