In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 825

She was right, Harvest Festival is just around the corner.

“That’s a good idea. I will be going back to K City for Harvest Festival anyway; thus, I won’t have the time to meet you girls. Now is a perfect time.” I suddenly recalled the encounter with Danny.

“Nora,” I said after some hesitation. “Please be careful when you leave the house. I ran into Danny yesterday. He told me that Abe is in the country. We may not be safe!”

“What?” she exclaimed in shock. “How did Abe get in here? Grandpa said that the cops from A City and Venria had joined forces to apprehend him, but he was hidden in the mountains at the border. I can’t believe that he’s here at A City!”

I was startled at this piece of news. “Are you saying that Abe can’t survive in Venria anymore?”

“Yes. I didn’t manage to tell you this before. When we returned from Epea, I told Grandpa about this. He then contacted the cops from A City and Venria to arrest him for all the crimes that he had committed over the years. I think his good fortune is coming to an end.”

Nora’s news explained Danny’s disheveled appearance. It was tough being on the run from the law.

I ended the call with Nora and entered the building of Murphy Corporation.

I knocked on Armond’s door.

“Come in!” came his voice.

I pushed open the door and found him buried in some documents, his brow furrowed in concentration. At the sound of my footsteps, he looked up. “Weren’t you going to rest for a couple of days? What are you doing back here?”

I helped myself to the seat in front of him. “The Lavelian Village project is almost completed so far,” I reported. “We’re good to go with some last-minute inspections. As Harvest Festival is almost upon us, I would like to take off for a couple of days to return to K City.”

Armond nodded. “I was thinking of heading back there too. As for the inspection, you need to be there ahead of time with the third party. Bring someone from Fuller Corporation if need be, to go over all the safety measures again. I’m worried that it’ll be too late to make any changes if the authorities suddenly show up and find something not in order. It will look better on us if we ascertain that everything is in order and report it as such.”

I nodded. The project’s most vulnerable points are its hidden dangers. If something were to happen over the holidays, the project would be delayed yet again. It would be wise to inspect it beforehand.
