“Solomon? Why are you here?”
After coming out of her room, Sasha was stunned to see the man there in the middle of the night.
Solomon?
How is this possible? When did he return, and more importantly, how did he find me?
“It’s me. I came back on purpose to pick you up, Nancy. Something happened over at Wall Street. Since I couldn’t get through, I flew back at once.”
Despite having rushed back, Solomon calmly explained the reason for his presence. Behind that gold-rimmed specs of his was a warm and gentle smile.
Sasha’s attention was captured.
“What happened? Is Lance alright?”
“No, the issue just relates to the project Andy and you have been working on. The Wall Street regulators have their eyes on it. Hence, Andy wants you to come back and deal with it to cover up his wrongdoings.”
To prove that he was telling the truth, Solomon had brought some documents with him.
Sasha looked through them at once.
Given that Andy liked to involve himself in illegal businesses, Sasha wasn’t surprised by Solomon’s words.
The report stated that the project she and Andy were running before she returned was a scam.
“Is he crazy? Why isn’t there anything?”
“Given that Andy is involved, anything is possible.” Solomon could only state the facts.
Sasha’s expression darkened in response.
If the goods for the contract she negotiated never existed, the transaction would be considered a serious crime. In fact, she might even be sentenced to prison.
With no time to lose, the woman returned to her room and picked the sleeping Vivian up.
“Let’s head to the airport right away.”
“Alright.”
Smiling gently, Solomon left with both mother and daughter.
At that moment, a white Maybach was speeding down the highway with its driver flooring the accelerator.
Thirty minutes later, it returned to the village.
Knock! Knock!
Sebastian was in a foul mood, given the circumstances. It was a miracle that he didn’t kick down the farmhouse door right away.
When the farmer heard the sharp knock, he jumped out of bed in fright and rushed to open the door.
“Why are there so many visitors tonight? Who are you?”
“Where are they?”
With a pale face, Sebastian had no patience to wait for a response from the host. Instead, he stormed into the house and started searching.
The farmer immediately knew what the man wanted.
