Heiress Returns Family Shocks (Nina Swanson) novel Chapter 495

Chapter 495

Then, with a smile, he asked, “Ryan’s awake?”

Nina shot him a sideways glance, asking. “Didn’t you already know that yesterday?”

News about Ryan waking up spreads fast; no way to keep that under wraps.

The Foster family might not have been camped out by the hospital room, but the cops never left their post.

Word got out the second Ryan woke up; someone ran to report right away.

Can’t you ever talk nicely, kid?” Wylder grumbled, glaring at her

Nina replied casually, “If you want me to be polite, you should do your job right. When Thomas came to drag Ryan off, where were you hiding?”

Wylder looked a bit awkward. He said, “I didn’t have a choice. The higher-ups wanted Ryan investigated, so I had to follow

orders.”

Nina snorted, not bothering to say anything else.

Wylder cleared his throat and slid a file over to her. He said, “This just came in from Hillcrest. Take a look.”

Nina arched a brow.

Yesterday, Hillcrest said the results weren’t ready. And now they’re done already?’ she thought.

After finishing the whole report, Nina’s expression turned icy. She asked, “So there’s no one behind all this? No mastermind pulling the strings?”

The Hillcrest report was over a hundred pages long.

It included a full background check on everyone in Phoenix Village,

Except for the girls who were forced into childbirth, every man in the village was wrapped up in the whole thing.

Basically, Phoenix Village just wanted a better life. But with so few people and so little money, nobody wanted to move in and marry the local girls. So they ended up kidnapping men from outside and bringing them in.

Once those men were forced to have kids with the local girls, they were sent up to a factory in the hills and made to work on drug production.

The whole factory in Phoenix Village started because of a medical doctor they kidnapped twenty years ago.

They put a parasite on him, and with his crazy high IQ, he whipped up the first batch of drugs in no time. The folks in Phoenix Village cranked up production and started selling it.

That first batch of drugs raked in millions for Phoenix Village.

That just made them even more convinced this was the golden ticket to getting rich.

After that, they got even bolder, snatching people from outside without a second thought.

They targeted all kinds of geniuses from different walks of life, all with crazy high IQs.

But most of the people they grabbed were doctors.

As for why they wanted good-looking guys, Riggs said it was just because they liked having some eye candy around.

The people in Phoenix Village were dirt poor and ugly, and whenever they went out, folks would make fun of them.

So they figured if they brought in good-looking guys, their kids would all be drop-dead gorgeous too.

Thanks to all the people they snatched. Phoenix Village’s population started to grow, and pretty soon, everyone was living the good life.

But they were worried someone from the outside might catch on, so they sealed off Phoenix Village.

From then on, no outsiders were allowed in.

That’s why the folks in Phoenix Village got away with all kinds of shady stuff for years, and nobody ever found out.

And the whole parasites thing in Phoenix Village all came from Riggs and Zuri.

They used to be from Moonshadow.

But they made a mistake and got exiled.

Eventually, they ended up in Phoenix Village.

But they weren’t about to settle for an ordinary life, so they came up with this whole scheme.

When Nina reached the last page, her face fell. She asked, “Riggs got away?”

Riggs was Veda’s father.

This case was a top priority, with multiple layers of security.

But just yesterday, Riggs managed to slip away.

He put a parasite on the guards.
