The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin) novel Chapter 462

Kathleen led him upstairs while answering, "Two teams of private soldiers were sent and have been looking for her. There is no news. I don't know if she's dead."

Keith was thoughtful, "Only the living hides. Dead body doesn't lie."

Kathleen didn't entirely agree, "The men Collin sent to find Ethel came back and said that there were a lot of big dogs kept in a few villages downstream."

"The river was swift that day. And she was shot, or she could have been dead. Maybe her body was eaten by some big dogs nearby."

Keith was silent for a while before he continued, "I don't care if she's really dead or just living. Just don't bother Rara in the future."

"We can't let her come back here. Her name and deadee will always be left in the oblivious cemetery. I only have one sister."

The oblivious cemetery was where the deceased who had no relatives to claim them were buried and would be alone.

Kathleen nodded her head.

The two chatted and arrived at the bedroom. The door opened and Keith saw Collin leaning on the bed.

Because of the pain of constant lying down, Collin's face didn't look good. He was a little haggard and weak, and his complexion looked sickly wan.

Keith hadn't seen him for a while and almost didn't recognize him.

He could not associate the man in front of him with Collin who used to a powerful aircraft commander.

He sat down in the chair next to the bed, and because of his shock, he did not take the initiative to explain the purpose of his visit.

Collin coughed lightly before saying, "I know about the return party of the Callahan family two days ago. Is the reason you came to see me?"

When he opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse and low, which was not very nice.

Keith was stunned. When looking at each other, he felt Collin's eyes a lot more hollow-eyed than before.

He held down the emotions and nodded, "We suspect Shane hurts Melissa and imprisons her. Rara is working to find a way to see her and follow up on her situation, so I have to come to you."

"What do you need me to do for you?"

Collin reached for the glass of water on the bedside table, and Keith, seeing this, got up, picked it up and handed it to him first.

"Melissa's fiancé is from the Barker family. He is a well-known leader in the restaurant and hotel industry in Suham. Is there anything you can do to hold the Barker family?"

Collin instantly understood, "You want Ashton Barker to voluntarily withdraw?"

Keith was nodding his head.

Collin continued, "For the restaurant and hotel industry, I do not hold the shares of the Barker Group but I have the largest holding of its rival. They're in an even state. I'm afraid it is difficult to use this to confront the Barker family."

After saying too much at once, his throat was so dry that he choked up with a cough.

He drank some water to slow down, and then said, "But I previously led the Bureau of National Affairs. There are domestic information. I will ask someone to help you this afternoon to find out if the Barker Group has been included in the irregularities."

"If so, you can follow that clue and expand Barker Group's problem to pressure Ashton Barker and force him to come to you voluntarily to talk peace."

These words made Keith finally feel relieved.

He got up and bent towards Collin in a dignified manner to thank him, "Thank you Collin."

Collin looked lazy, "We're family. You're welcome."
