Chapter 176
That was alarming.
Kara’s words immediately frightened me to the core. What happened? Slow down. Tell me the details.”
“A group of scary punks came to the amusement park poking for Mr. Howell.”
When I heard that, I relaxed a little and was relieved it wasn’t any major incident. Rather, it was just a group of men looking for trouble with Brandon.
As much as Kara was terrified by the scary men she mentioned, I was not worried because I knew Brandon could handle it. I didn’t comprehend this strange faith I had in him, but I knew no one could harm him.
“Did they get physical?” I asked.
“No. They haven’t found Mr. Howell. They’re asking around, so they’ll be here soon.” Kara’s voice trembled. “Maddie, what should we do? Should we call the cops?
I contemplated briefly. “First, look for Brandon and understand the situation. We’ll let him decide whether to call the cops.” I wasn’t sure why those men were looking for him, so I’d let him decide.
“Got it.” Kara asked, “Maddie, will you be coming here?!
I didn’t hesitate. “Of course.”
How could I do nothing knowing Brandon might be in trouble? Furthermore, I was afraid this incident had something to do with Chris. After all, he had just left with a warning against Hueton Corporation. If anything, Brandon would be involved.
After ending the call, I took my bag and phoned Chris as I walked along the office. When I passed by Xander’s office, he happened to come out and saw me with my bag. He asked immediately, “Where are you heading?”
Since I was waiting for Chris to pick up the phone, I did not respond to Xander. “I’m talking to you, Ms. Crown. Where are you headed Xander questioned again.
I was about to answer him when Chris got onto the line “What’s up? Have you changed your mind?”
‘Did you send your men to the amusement park?” I interrogated him.
He huffed. “What are you talking about? What men?”
His response stunned me. Other than his deed in Jewel’s incident, he had never been one to hide from his actions. If he had intended to use Brandon to make me return to his side, he would have openly admitted.
Therefore, this incident had nothing to do with him.
Who were the ones looking for Brandon then?
“You better not lie to me, Chris. And stay away from Brandon.” I ended the call following that
Chris called me again within seconds, but I didn’t answer.
