“Elena, is there any news on Logan?”
“I don’t know...” the woman replied in a soft voice with glinted eyes.
Cornel could not stand a woman in tears. He subconsciously put his hand behind his back, “I’m... I’m sorry, I was just too anxious.”
“It’s fine. We’re all worried, I understand.”
Cornel listened to her words and felt suffocated, “Has no one found Logan? Logically speaking, if something happened to him, he should also be at the scene!”
“At the scene?”
Elena chuckled, “Dad, apart from knowing that Logan had been in a car accident, there’s probably something you aren’t aware of.”
“What do I not know?” Cornel frowned.
“There was not only a car accident on the Second Ring Road, but also a riot. Dad should also know about it?”
Cornel did not answer, but it was regarded as an acquiescence.
Elena smiled brightly, that made others quiver, “Then you probably didn’t know, those rioters... were mostly all directed for Logan!”
“What did you say! That’s by chance!” Cornel immediately retorted.
“By chance!?”
Elena looked at him, unsure of his thinking, “Did you think that he just so happened to go to the Second Ring Road and encountered a massive traffic jam, and someone just so happen for Logan to go under big truck, and the even greater coincidence that there was a riot!?”
Cornel was stunned by what she said, “Are you trying to say that it was a deliberately scheme?”
“You probably have an inkling of the genuinely of it, I would not comment further.” She knew that he sided toward Jacqueline, so she did not force it, but gave him a wake-up call.
Elena dropped her last word and strode up the stairs. Cornel stood there, no one knew what he was thinking as he didn’t move for some time.
At night, Jacqueline thought about Yolanda’s words. She hid in the bathroom while George was asleep and returned Kent’s call.
Over time, she began to fluster.
Until the last ‘beep’ sounded, the person on the other end of the phone had slowly picked up call.
Kent answered sarcastically, “You still dare to look for me?!”
Jacqueline heard him but was not bothered, “You can’t blame me. I do not even know who you are. This is just to ensure that it is foolproof! Besides, I won’t miss out on a penny that I need to pay you!”
Kent sneered a few times, he quickly converged back, “That’s what you said, if my money doesn’t arrive, don’t blame me!”
“You want to threaten me!?”
“It’s a matter of caution” Kent smirked, “Don’t forget, we’re on the same boat, if you go too far and irritate me, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
Jacqueline’s heart thumped. She was afraid that he really had a card on his hand. All of a sudden, he laughed out loud, “Don’t worry, we all have our own motive, you’re doing it for money, while I’m after Logan’s life. Now, we have both achieved it.”
“I always ensure I do a clean job! If you’re like this, what happens if we leave behind some dirt in our tracks...”
