Chapter 595
two vehicles made their way back to the city under cover of darkness, then split up at an intersection.
Once Nicole reached a deserted stretch of road, she put the truck into her storage space. After giving it enough time to seem believable, she walked back to meet the others, and they all returned to the city in the Hummer.
There was indeed trouble in the city, but fortunately, no one was hurt.
The Hummer stopped across from the police station. Nicole fingered the key to another apartment in her pocket, hesitating several times before ultimately deciding to leave it there.
She watched the others go inside, then glanced at the battered rich kid still unconscious in the back seat and shook her head.
Eric must have had the worst luck to end up with a son like this. The entire city was thrown into chaos tonight because of him.
They drove back to the villa district.
The Robinson residence was lit up from top to bottom. The moment the guards spotted the Hummer from Villa 50 approaching, they rushed to open the gates and came out to meet them.
Eric looked both anxious and furious. “Did you get him back?”
Nicole opened the car door and let him see for himself.
Fiona took one look at Nicole’s grim expression and hurried over. The moment she saw Marcus sprawled across the back seat, his face swollen almost beyond recognition, she let out a piercing cry.
“Oh, Marcus! You died so young!”
Her eyes rolled back, and she fainted on the spot.
Eric’s cane slipped from his hand and clattered to the ground as he staggered.
Nicole stared at them, baffled by their reaction.
Marcus wasn’t dead. At least, she didn’t think he was.
A sudden thought made her stomach drop. What if he inhaled too much ether and stopped breathing? If that happened, there went her helicopter.
She immediately leaned into the car and checked. Relief washed over her when she felt his steady breath.
Her face lit up. “He’s still alive.”
Eric hurried over and stared at him for a long moment before finally confirming that the battered man really was his son.
“How did he end up like this?”
Since Eric was still holding the helicopter, Nicole decided to make Marcus sound a little better.
