"Mrs. Crawford asked me to catch a man. I was careless and got ambushed! Damn it!" Martin's stubbornness made him unwilling to admit that he couldn't defeat Dorian, and he ended up taking a punch.
Mike looked serious. "That was a brutal attack. Martin, you should go to the hospital right away. You probably have a bone fracture."
Martin's eyes widened.
Mike was someone who never made baseless claims, so if he said it was a fracture, then it most likely was!
"I'll go after reporting back. What are you guys up to?" Martin asked.
"Jaxson asked me to keep an eye on a suspicious person, but I lost track of him."
However, Mike confirmed that the person hadn't left the venue yet.
He had carefully checked the surveillance and concluded that the individual was still in the vicinity, though he might be hiding somewhere or had suddenly changed his appearance.
"A suspicious person?" Martin raised an eyebrow, considering it for a moment. "Come with me. Your description sounds like that man... but I'm not sure."
Without hesitation, Martin led Mike to the electrical panel room.
As they opened the door, Mike saw a man tied up like a mummy.
"It's him!"
Mike was shocked.
"Is this the one who ambushed you and Chelsea asked you to catch?"
"Yes!" Martin nodded.
Upon feeling the pain on his face and suspecting that he might have suffered a fracture, he kicked Dorian right away.
After a while, Martin found Athena.
"What happened to your face?" Athena was astonished.
Martin explained the situation to Athena, saying he got ambushed, just as he told Mike.
"So he does have a problem!" Athena's eyes turned cold.
She recalled the chandelier incident.
The night before, when Athena returned to Lakin, she went to the wine cellar to get some good wine for the celebration after the art exhibition.
As she finished choosing the wine and went out, she looked up to see the overhead light.

The readers' comments on the novel: My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup
I am at Chapter 550 and there are almost 2 stories in 1. Aron and Evie's story could very well have been made into another story. Such a waste of time because I am reading for Byron and Athena, not Evie and Aron...
Is there no new updates after this one?...
