Chapter 100
As she was speaking, the lady lowered her tone and went nearer to the two, “His money was probably illegal, that’s why he escaped.”
Olivia and Zyla exchanged gazes and looked at the lady. “Ma’am, do you know which old folks’ home his mother went to?”
The lady scratched her head and murmured, “Which one was it again… I somewhat heard the word mountain but not the rest. He didn’t tell anyone as well, I just happened to pass by when he was on a call.”
“Thank you, ma’am.”
“You’re welcome but I am afraid you might not be able to get your money back. How much did he owe you?”
“Ten thousand.”
“Oh dear, that will be difficult.”
Olivia pursed her lips and smiled bitterly. “Guess we don’t have a choice then, thank you ma’am.”
“Well, I’ll take my leave.”
After the lady left, the two went back into the car. Now that Ben was nowhere to be found, all leads were lost.
Even if there were surveillance cameras, those would not be enough to prove the connection to Dorothy and she might even frame them herself with the evidence.
Zyla used her laptop on the driver’s seat and said, “Sis Liv, there are 5 old folks home in Ocean City that have the word mountain in their names.”
“Which one among the five is located near the mountains and the most remote?”
“Green Mountains Old Folks Home.”
“Let’s go for that then.”
“Alright.”
Just as Zyla started the engine, Olivia’s phone rang and after taking a look, it was
from John.
She declined the call.
During these two years, unless it was necessary, this man would never call her, he was acting abnormally these two days.
‘Is he afraid that I might find out anything?’
After hanging up twice, Olivia got a message from him.
[Olivia Larson, are you trying to seek death? Pick up your phone!]
Olivia switched off her phone and tossed it into her bag.
