The night slowly darkened.
But some people weren’t sleeping.
Gareth was in the bedroom. He had just showered, and his face was still dark. His rage toward Elisa had yet to subside.
His cell phone rang. There wasn’t a name saved to the number.
Gareth had the same habit as Elisa. They didn’t record anybody’s numbers because they both had photographic memories.
This number belonged to Thomas. Gareth answered the call.
“Mr. Wickam, I’ve gotten people to investigate. Those assailants are hiding well. There isn’t much of a trail yet.”
“Is this all you’re telling me?” Gareth’s voice grew cold.
Thomas could only continue, “The people who humiliated Ms. Benett previously are different from this group, but they were paid to do things on someone’s behalf. After investigating, I can almost confirm it is the same person. I previously suspected Linda, but I can’t pin this to her.”
Gareth’s brows furrowed tightly, and he didn’t say a word.
Thomas took a tiny breath and said, “I can only… find out as much for now. The mastermind is hiding very well. All the clues are cut off here. I contacted the boss of the previous group, but the boss was clueless about this. There was just an anonymous call, and they were paid in cash. The person disguised themselves well. They also deliberately changed their voice. Furthermore, they avoided the angle of the security cameras with their position. I’ve instructed people to eliminate possibilities one by one.”
“Don’t miss anything,” Gareth said before ending the call. His eyes were filled with frost.
He got up and walked out of his bedroom. He could see the light from the crack under the door in Elisa’s room. He walked to her door and asked in a deep voice, “Have you slept?”
Elisa was slightly surprised. She was leaning against the headboard. Elisa had taken a nap in the day, and her wound was hurting now. Although she could tolerate it, she didn’t feel sleepy.
Gareth came to her when it was so late. Did something happen?
She paused and answered, “No.”
