Chapter 59 I’ll Tell You Everything
After Alston took care of the online rumors, he planned to focus on dealing with Ivan.
Ivan was in a good mood these days. As long as Alston was troubled, he would be very happy. Alston knew that he did all of this, but he had no evidence. So the more madder Alston was, the happier Ivan was.
Usually, Ivan wouldn’t be there for the meeting, but this time he unexpectedly came early. He sat down and looked at Alston, smiling wildly.
Alston gave a glance at him and looked away again.
After the crowd dispersed, Alston was about to leave when Ivan suddenly came up to him. Ivan said in an annoying tone, “Alston, why are you not with your assistant?”
Alston stood up, who was half a head taller than Ivan. He gazed down at Ivan with his eyes full of arrogance and contempt.
That was what Ivan hated most about Alston.
Seeing Alston turn around to leave, Ivan said, “By the way, how’s Cynthia? I heard that she was pushed down from upstairs. That sounds awful.”
Alston paused. His tall figure stood upright.
Ivan’s eyes were full of excitement. He knew this would drive Alston mad and he knew Cynthia was always a
trusted bait to provoke him.
“What’s your problem?” Alston turned his head, with a hint of sternness in his cold eyes.
Ivan pretended to be innocent and said, “Alston, I just want to care about Cynthia. Why are you angry?”
Alston said with a sneer, “Watch yourself. I guess you haven’t learned your lesson from the last time you
slapped yourself?”
Hearing what he mentioned, Ivan’s eyes changed.
That was the deepest disgrace in his life. Thinking of being forced to slap himself in front of everyone, he
wished he could kill them all.
After that banquet, he didn’t go out for a whole month. He didn’t dare to come out until everyone had almost forgotten about it. But Alston mentioned it again.
When he was angry, Alston had already walked away. Looking at his leisurely pace, Ivan was furious. He threatened, “You’d better take good care of her. Don’t let her get hurt again.”
The malice in his words was obvious.
Alston’s eyes darkened in an instant. When returning to the office, he threw his fist on the desk.
Greg happened to come in. Seeing this scene, he tensed up. “Mr. Smith, we have found Caleb Hayes.”
“Take me there!” Upon hearing this, Alston walked past him towards the door.
Greg gave a glance at the dented desk and calmly told the new assistant to replace it. Then he followed Alston away from the company.
In the suburbs, there was an empty warehouse.
Caleb was lying on the ground with his hands and feet bound. The cold ground made him wake up suddenly.
He was terrified and didn’t know why he was here.
The surrounding area was empty. When the wind blew, it seeped in through the small gaps and made a whimpering sound as if a ghost was crying.
Caleb’s face turned pale with fright.
A good conscience is a soft pillow. He pushed a woman down not long ago and was still panicking. How could he not be afraid?
When he was in extreme fear, the door was opened. The strong wind blew in and the clothing of the man standing at the door made a rustling sound.
Although Caleb was bound tightly, his mouth was not sealed. The surrounding was empty. No one could hear
him at all.
“Who… are you… Why… you kidnapped me? It’s… against the law!”
The outskirts were much colder than the city. Caleb’s lips were blue and he spoke intermittently.
After hearing this, Alston smiled sarcastically. “This is not kidnapping. I just want to ask you something.”
His tone was cold and his eyes looked dark. Caleb felt even colder after being glanced at.
“What do you want? What do you want to know?”
Alston approached him, with the clatter of his shoes when stepping on the ground.
The person behind brought a chair in time. Alston sat down leisurely and stared at Caleb. “A few days ago, you pushed Doctor Miller downstairs in the hospital, didn’t you?”
Caleb’s heart skipped a beat. He knew that was why he was caught.
He shook his head quickly and said, “No, it’s not me. I didn’t go to the hospital that day.”
“Who can prove it!”
