Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1954

Chapter 1954

Finally, Kurt nodded without saying a word.

“In that case, do you want to inform your parents? Since the police chief mentioned that Interpol is also investigating it, I’m worried that it might be connected to a major case. As a result, telling your dad might make things easier for ourselves.”

“What about my mom?” Ian asked as he stared at the glass in his hand with a grim look in his eyes.

How is Mom going to react when she finds out? Brandon was one of the few people she was close to within the Hayes family. Subsequently her best friend, Willow, even married him, although their marriage ended in tragedy. Later on, she was comforted by the fact that Uncle Brandon raised Nat by himself. Therefore, she would be devastated if she learns of Uncle Brandon’s murder and the fact that Nat has become a pitiful orphan.

Hence, Ian didn’t feel like informing his parents for the time being.

Kurt, having seen Ian’s response, had no choice but to concur with the latter’s decision. Nevertheless, he took precautions by transferring a few more men over from SteelFort once they headed back.

As the kidneys were in Southeast Astoria, comprehensive preparations were needed.

Meanwhile, at Tilan Palace, Southeast Astoria, Theo was in his room when Hugo returned. There, he listened to the voices that the bug he had secretly installed picked up.

“Has the police in Yartran closed the case?”

“Yes. After paying off the fool with a sum of money, he’s agreed to take on all the charges. Also, there’s more good news. The police didn’t reveal the cause of the actor’s death.”

Zylan’s voice, tinged with elation, rang out.

Upon hearing the report, Hugo sighed in relief.

“They have probably discovered his relationship with the Hayes family too. Now that the matter involves that person, they would naturally want to cover it up. Let’s monitor the situation for now.”

“Yes, Mr. Tilan,” Zylan acknowledged at once.

A short while later, the sound of footsteps walking out preceded the silence that descended upon the penthouse.

Just when Theo was planning to turn off his earpiece…

Bam!

All of a sudden, the door behind him was kicked open. The loud crack that resulted sounded especially jarring as it pierced the quiet of the night.

Theo’s expression immediately darkened as he turned around to look at the intruder.

“Who gave you permission to return here? Did no one teach you about the protocols for a bodyguard upon arriving at Tilan Palace?”

The intruder turned out to be Rosalie.

She was standing by the door, her eyes spitting fire. Under the dim light of the night, the scowl on her face showed how much she wanted to tear him to pieces.

At the sight of her, Theo began to calm down.

“Sorry. I’m new, so I don’t know anything.”

No one has ever dared speak to me this way in Tilan Palace! Did his cheek come from the fact that I saved him yesterday? Is that why he doesn’t fear me and shows no respect?
