Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 239

Terence leaned on the tatty wooden bed and replied, "As of now, no.

When I go back, I'll be sure to cover up my tracks. My number one goal right now is to recover. Second is to wait for Marcus' next action."

Carla blinked and tried to understand Terence's words. "I see. If Marcus believed that you are dead, he would surely do something. He would definitely return to JA City to ask your father for the executive power over the An family. You plan to unmask him then, right?"

Terence looked at her and smiled, "You guessed only half right.

I can almost predict how he will react. Marcus will shed crocodile tears over my death in front of my father. If he wants to take the executive power smoothly, he must cover up the truth about my 'death.'

Anyway, don't do anything and just wait."

Carla nodded and leaned on him.

She didn't care about anything else. She was just pleased that Terence was still alive and would be fine.

She would give him her full support no matter what he wanted to do or how he wanted to get his revenge.

At that exact moment, at Marcus' base area.

It was quite noisy and the place was bustling with activity even though it was already past midnight.

Marcus pinched his nose while looking at the body under the white cloth. He couldn't help but retreat. "No wonder I can't find him despite all of my efforts. Ha! It was already rotten at a ditch! It seemed as if a lot of animals had taken it for food. Poor Terence!

I say, why do you have to end up like that, Terence? You could have made peace with me. Why did you choose to become my enemy? You deserved this death!"

Marcus covered the body with the white cloth. When they found it, it was wearing Terence's clothes and inside a pocket was his cellphone.

The body was estimated to have died a long time ago. The corpse was already decomposed to the point that it couldn't be recognized.

Johnny also rushed over as soon as he heard the news.

"Marcus, are you sure it's Terence?" Johnny asked in disbelief. He couldn't believe that Terence was now dead.

"Who else can it be? It has the same height as Terence. The clothes and cellphone all belonged to Terence. It can't be anyone else!" Marcus said as he walked out of the room. He couldn't stand the stink anymore.

Johnny followed him out and said, "Marcus, I think you'd better be cautious. Don't be fooled by him! I suggest we do some DNA testing to make sure that it really is him. We could never be too sure."

Marcus sat on a chair and filled some wine for both of them.

"Johnny, take it easy! You should relax. Have a seat. I will send the body for DNA tests but I'm pretty sure that the results will confirm that it's Terence," Marcus said. He had searched the whole area inch by inch for a whole month.

It would have been impossible for Terence to escape. He couldn't have gone anywhere else.

He was only human. He was not superman who could fly into the sky or hide underground.

The only thing that was certain was that he was dead. It was only a matter of time before they were able to find his body.

"All right! Relax, okay? We'd been nervous for a whole month. We can finally rest. Let's celebrate our victory!" Marcus raised his glass to Johnny.

Johnny raised his glass and thought, 'If Terence is dead, how about the woman?

How could she possibly survive the jungle alone?'

The thought of it made Johnny uneasy. He stood up and said, "Marcus. Since you already found him, I'll take my leave now. I want to return to JA City soon."

Marcus also rose to his feet. He patted Johnny's shoulder and said, "All right. When I finish all my work here, I'll return too. See you then!"

Johnny nodded and walked out.

The next morning, Johnny led a group of people and marched into the jungle.
