The man watched with satisfaction as Valerie copsed. He quickly retrieved his phone from her and ced a call “Sir, I found that woman in
lown
The man on the other end of the line said something that immediately surprised him. “Sir, are we <b>really </b>going to do this<b>?</b><b>”</b>
He turned around and <b>nced </b>at Valerie lying in the back seat of the car. Then, a bloodthirsty sneer spread across his lips. “Don’t worry, I’ll handle it right away!
After ending the call, he hit the <b>gas </b>and drove off. The shop assistant paid little mind as she saw the car leave. Soon, the town settled back into its usual calm.
About half an hourter. Matthew and his men arrived in town, <b>chasing </b>after her
Using surveince cameras along the route, they located the abandoned electric scooter in the <b>small </b>town. Following the clues, Matthew and his team split up to search. After a while, they found Ruth lying near a dpidated house by the roadside.
Charles and the others were ecstatic. They dialed Matthew immediately. “Mr. <b>Grant</b>, we’ve found Ruth! But Ethan is nowhere to be found!
On the other end of the line, Matthew ordered tersely, Interrogate her! Do whatever
His expression darkened. When it came to Valerie, he knew he had to resort to force.
Lakes.
Ruth <b>was </b>startled awake by <b>a </b>ssh of water. When she saw the room filled with burly men dressed in ck, fear made her tremble. Confused and frightened, she hastily pulled out money from her pocket. I’ll give you everything I have. I don’t know anything. Please don’t hurt me!”
Seeing her in <b>that </b>state. Charley’s expression turned disdainful. Where’s your husband and Miss <b>Warren</b>? Where did they go
It was only then that Ruth realized they were looking for Valerie. Overwhelmed with fear about her involvement with Ethan, she quickly shook her head. “I–I don’t know!”
Ruth and Ethan hade close to selling Valerie. If she confessed <b>now</b>, it would be as if she didn’t care if she lived anymore.
However, she hadn’t anticipated that staying silent wouldn’t improve her situation either.
“You’re not talking?” Charles said, pressing a dagger <b>against </b>her cheek. He sneered, dragging the <b>de </b>slowly across her face. “You’re not telling me? Seems like you don’t care about your face anymore. Are <b>you </b>worried IT slice it up and dump you in the pond?”
Ruth screamed in terror, Valerie <b>had </b>already scared her half to death. After Charles gestured menacingly, her entire body went limp.
“T–1 really don’t know anything. That girl Valerie sold Ethan and even attacked me, the answered.
“Sold! Where did Valerie go?” A deep, cold voice echoed from outside. Then, the door swung <b>open </b>and a call figure strode in.
The
moment she s
saw Matthew, Ruth was so terrified that she lost control <b>and </b>wet herself. She hurriedly dropped to the ground, kneeling before him. “Sir, I swear I <b>didn’t </b>know anything. Valerie hit me and knocked me out. Look at this big wound on <b>my </b>head, it’s still bleeding. I cked out and didn’t know a thing. Please believe me.”
Mathew nced at her with <b>a </b>sneer. “She sold Ent How <b>could </b>such a weak woman manage <b>that</b>? <b>You </b>two are in cahoots. I bet you want to sell Valerie too, huh? Since you don’t know anything, you’re incless<b>.</b>”
Charles moved closer and made a throat–slitting gesture, Ruth, ovee with fear, screamed and cried out, “No, I really don’t <b>know</b>! Sir, look, the money is all here. I’ll give it to you! It’s from selling Elluan. Please take it all!”
Seeing that the group clearly didn’t believe her, Ruth was terrified, struggling to catch her breath. She was covered in snot and tears, deeply regretting her actions.
“I shouldn’t have listened to Etlun. I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t <b>have </b>treated <b>Valerie </b>like that, making her sick with fever. But what i said is true, She really <b>knocked </b>me out and ran away. I swear, if I’m lying, may I have no peace in my life. I’ll have my son turn away from ine, leaving me with no one to rely on
When he heard Ruth swear and bring her son to it, Matthew frowned. She shouldn’t be lying now. His heart raced briefly, then sank again. These <b>people </b>wanted to sell Valerie, but they ended up being sold by Valerie instead.
She was really sharp. But where could she possibly <b>go </b>now!
“Did v
1 you get <b>any </b>calls for help?” Mantlew asked.
“No,” Charles responded, noticing Mathew’s concerned expression, and quickly <b>tried </b>to reassure him. “Sir, Mrs. Grant is really smart. She might be holed up somewhere safe, keeping a low profile. Probably hiding How about we split up and search around?”
Chapter 475
Charles gestured to everyone and was about to ask them to continue searching.
<b>Charles </b>motioned for everyone to keep searching, but Matthew <b>raised </b>his hand, signaling him to wait.
<b>“</b>Slow down.” He gestured for everyone to stay quiet, then stood up and <b>began </b>pacing around the dpidated house.
What he knew for sure now was that Valerie had left after knocking out Ruth. He imagined her condition at that moment–physically exhausted and mentally drained. She might even be injured, and it seemed she didn’t <b>have </b>a phone on her.
Under normal circumstances, she’d have sought help in a crowded ce, potentially leaving behind clues.
As he thought it over, he circled the dpidated house <b>and </b>carefully surveyed the area. Sure enough, on the road nearby, he spotted bloodstains and footprints not far away.
