Chapter 259
This piece of information shocked Harvey. His body turned stiff though it was unnoticeable. It took Harvey a whole minute to somewhat stop his racing thoughts. He shut his eyes for a moment. When he opened them once more, they were tinged with a hint of indescribable emotions.
“Shawn, stop investigating for now.” Harvey stared at the middle-aged man in front of him; the man’s tranquil expression seemed as though he were laughing at his outburst. Harvey’s grip on his cellphone tightened. However, he continued speaking with a gentle tone. “All you have to do is keep watch on the Rogers, family. Put the rest of the matters on hold.”
Shawn understood the meaning behind his words. He was silent for a moment.
“But Harvey, I also want to know…” This was one of the rare occasions where he refuted Harvey.
“That’s enough!”
Harvey could not suppress the bloodthirstiness that appeared in his eyes. It was as if there were an uncontrollable beast locked in his body, and that beast was starting to get agitated by something it had heard.
“Shawn Rogers, do not test my patience.”
He helped him return to the Rogers family and gain Christo Rogers’ trust. Naturally, he could also turn him back into a lowly illegitimate child and make him live in shame for the rest of his life!
For a while, Shawn was silent on the other end of the line. His fingers had turned white from gripping the phone. No one knew the kind of emotional conflict he was going through.
He looked at the lavish and comfortable room and the many servants. In the end, he answered with difficulty as if he had made up his mind.
“I’ll go with what you said, Harvey.”
Once again, he was bowing to the devil.
