Chapter 56 A Little Quick

question unanswered. Yet, his silence spoke volumes–Caleb
I pressed my l*ps together, my mind racing. I turned to him. “So, Benett was involved in Caleb’s money laundering scheme? And he’s fled too?” He had just emerged from Scott Corporation, presumably after a fruitless search for Benett. That was why he thought to bring me to Sophia, hoping to extract some information.
He studied me, a hint of amusement lifti thought.”
lifting his eyebrows. His voice was low, almost a murmur. “You’re not as naive as I
L…
Was that supposed to be a compliment? It felt oddly unsettling.
Ignoring his remark, I stepped out of the elevator as the doors opened again, heading towards Sophia’s house. As I exited, I noticed Sophia’s door was slightly ajar.
Seeing this, Idris and I exchanged a glance, both silently acknowledging that something might have happened to Sophia.
I rushed into Sophia’s house, scanning every corner, but found no one. I turned to Idris, stating, “She and Benett must have left the country.”
Idris’s brow furrowed slightly, and after a moment, he shook his head. “That’s unlikely.”

“Why can’t it be? She’s Benett’s wife. It’s unthinkable that Benett would leave the country without her.” I trailed off, not finishing my thought.
Sophia had previously mumbled something about killing Benett, about stabbing him over a dozen times. A man, no matter how much he loved his wife, might think twice about taking her along if she harbored a subconscious desire to kill him
Seeing Idris silent, I pressed on. “If Benett isn’t taking her, where would she go? And judging from the state of this room, it’s clear that Sophia must have left in a hurry.”
Idris scanned the room, his l*ps pressed together. “She was likely taken away by someone Benett hired. She must know something about Benett, or he wouldn’t have thought of her at a time like this.”
1 bit my l*p. “If Benett isn’t taking Sophia with him, where would he send her?”
Idris did not respond, but he left Sophia’s house, his l*ps still pressed together. I was about to call the police, but Idris stopped me. “The police don’t know the truth. Even if we call them, they won’t be able to do much right away”
“So what do we do?” I asked, feeling a headache coming on. “If Benett has malicious intentions, if he wants to silence her permanently… wouldn’t that mean Sophia’s life is in danger?”
His words sparked a realization in me. Indeed, if he had committed murder, it would be a crime punishable by death. Even if he had the means to flee abroad, he would likely never be able to return home, or he would face a lifetime behind bars.
With this in mind, I found my calm and followed Idris out of the residential complex.
