Chapter 199 He Goes Crazy
Deborah immediately took a cautious step back, glaring angrily at Chandler.
“What do you mean? We’re just having a conversation, right? What gives you the right to touch my belongings!”
Chandler looked at Deborah as if she were a fool, and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“I really just wanted to have a nice chat with Ms. Shepherd. But it’s not quite appropriate for Ms. Shepherd to bring an eavesdropping bug along.”
Deborah tried to hide her guilt, her face full of confusion as she questioned him, “What eavesdropping bug? I have no
idea what you’re talking about.
Since you don’t plan on having a proper conversation with me, there’s nothing more for us to talk about. I’ll be leaving now.”
Chandler immediately gave a signal to a man nearby, and the man blocked the door, preventing Deborah from leaving.
Chandler smiled and said, “Ms. Shepherd, since you’re already here, we haven’t finished our conversation. How can we let you leave just like that?”
Deborah glared at him with disgust, “What do you mean? Just spit it out. I don’t have time to waste here with you.”
Chandler gestured to the man beside him and said, “Ms. Shepherd, you’ll have to cooperate with us. Please hand over the necklace for temporary safekeeping.
I’ve checked the items in my hand, and there’s an eavesdropping bug in your necklace, Ms. Shepherd. It’s pointless to keep pretending to be clueless.”
After he finished speaking, a man stepped forward and directly grabbed Deborah’s shoulder.
In this room, apart from Chandler in the wheelchair, there were three other strong men who could easily control
Deborah.
No matter how angry and resistant Deborah was, the necklace around her neck was quickly removed and taken away
by the man.
Chandler revealed a satisfied expression as he took the device in his hand and scanned Deborah’s body from top to
bottom once more.
Immediately, he had someone take away Deborah’s phone from her pocket. The phone was already on the recording
screen, which Chandler turned off.
After scanning again, there was no longer any recording or video equipment left on Deborah’s body.
Chandler felt that there was no need to keep pretending in front of Deborah anymore.
Deborah will bring the eavesdropping bug, clearly showing that she doesn’t trust him and has known his true colors all along.
So, wouldn’t it be completely unnecessary for him to keep playing the good guy in front of her?
Chandler revealed a smug smile on his face, “It seems that Ms. Shepherd does have some brains after all. However, not too much, just a little.”
Deborah’s face tightened, “Chandler, if you dare do anything to me, Joseph will never let you off the hook.”
Chandler exchanged glances with a few other men, and they couldn’t help but burst into laughter together.
Chandler looked at the men and then at Deborah, unable to hold back his laughter. He bent over, his face contorted
with amusement.
“She said I wouldn’t dare to touch her, haha! She also said Joseph wouldn’t let me off the hook. She really scared me to death!”
The men nearby all tried to please him, joining in with uproarious laughter.
Deborah’s face turned pale and then flushed, while Chandler’s eyes, like those of a venomous snake, stared directly at
her.
“Are you sure Joseph won’t let me off the hook because of you? It seems like you’ve forgotten that you’re the one who came into my room willingly.

This is a hotel room. If you tell anyone outside, they’ll think you came in here to do something with me, right?”
Chandler watched as Deborah’s face gradually turned pale, and a great sense of accomplishment welled up inside him. He continued in a leisurely manner, “That fool Joseph, he’s always been the most suspicious one.
You’re visiting me privately in a hotel room late at night. How can he trust you any further? Besides, Ms. Shepherd, I was able to summon you here with just a single message. It’s evident that your trust in Joseph is pitifully lacking.”
Deborah looked at him with a face full of anger, “So, you sent me a message saying that three years ago, Joseph and Helen teamed up to hurt my daughter, just to deceive me? You just wanted to lure me here, is that it?”
Chandler looked at her, silently observing for quite a while before finally letting out a chuckle.
“Ms. Shepherd, you just realized it now?”
Deborah gritted her teeth and exclaimed, “Despicable!”
Chandler looked at the fish on the cutting board and said slowly, “Ms. Shepherd, the truly despicable part is yet to
come.
You’re even easier to deceive than I imagined. But it’s not surprising, considering what Joseph sees in you. With his limited intelligence, what good could he possibly find?”
He glanced at the men nearby, who immediately revealed sly expressions and slowly began to surround Deborah.
Deborah’s face showed a look of panic as she stepped back, sternly warning, “Don’t come any closer! Even if Joseph doesn’t help me, I will… I will definitely call the police!”
