Chapter 775
Owen’s expression froze, and an unexpected wave of I panic set in. He thought, “Why was he suddenly so interested in Ethan”
“Mr. Anderson<b>! </b>Mr. Anderson!” Matthew called.
Owen snapped back to reality, “Oh, <b>Ethan</b>, <b>you </b><b>say</b>? <b>What’s </b>he like?”
Matthew raised his eyebrows and asked, “You don’t know him<b>?</b><b>” </b>
Owen tly denied it. “How would I know the person you’re looking for!” He stood firm in his denial, but Matthew noticed the flicker of unease in his eyes and couldn’t help but smirk Micro–expressions don’t lie.
<b>Matthew </b>pointed out directly. “He is Valerie’s father. When he kidnapped Valerie, he was wanted by the police. I tracked him down, only to discover that another force was hunting <b>him </b><b>as </b>well. Desperate, Ethan fled to <b>Qebrind </b><b>and </b><b>even </b>sent me a distress <b>signal</b>. But then he suddenly disappeared. I’ve looked into it, and <b>that </b>force pursuing him is your people, Mr. Anderson. Surely, <b>you </b>haven’t forgotten so quickly, have you!”
Owen was startled, realizing how much Matthew had uncovered. He immediately denied. “Nonsense! That’s impossible! Matthew, don’t you dare nder me. I’ve always <b>been </bw–abiding. I know nothing about Qebrind. Ethan’s issues are between you <b>and </b>him; they have nothing to do with me. Besides, why would I chase him? He didn’t <b>kidnap </b>my daughter”
Matthew, seeing Owen’s stubborn denial, simply <b>smirked </b>and said calmly. “Since it’s not you, then I’ll need your help to find him. With your vast resources. I’m sure we’ll locate him quickly with your assistance
Matthew instructed. “Spread the news <b>about </b>Mr. Anderson’s arrival in <b>Wakanda</b>. Whether he lives or dies will depend on his <b>fate</b>,
“I’m curious to see how people back home will react if they find our you’ve gone missing after arriving in Wakanda. Will they take any action against the Anderson family! Whatever happens to me in Wakanda <b>you </b>will have to answer for it.”
“Why should P Matthew, how <b>dare </b>you!” Owen <b>was </b>furious, feeling <b>that </b>Matthew was pushing things too far<b>. </b>
Matthew said coldly. “Why shouldn’t We have plenty of time ahead of us. Since you’re <b>already </b>here, take your time to think about whether you can find Ethan Warren or not? He waved his hand, signaling for Charles to be carried off for medical treatment, leaving Owen behind.
Owen was left frustrated and helpless. Meanwhile, Charles, catching <b>his </b>breath <b>and </b>spitting out a mouthful of blood, said, “Mr. Grant, I’ve <b>finally </b>found you!”
Matthew nodded. “Thank you for your <b>hard </b>work!”
“Its nothingpared to the pressure Mrs. Grant is enduring back home. What I’ve been through is nothing inparison!” Charles replied.
Matthew’s heart tightened at the thought of Valerie. “How is Valerie? And what about the baby?
Charles, while tending to his wounds<b>, </b><b>said </b><b>in </b><b>a </b><b>serious </b><b>tone</b>, “Mrs. Grant has been holding up on her own. Recently, Fred was trying to vie for control of the Noria Group, but Mrs. Grant saw through his <b>ns</b>. Her methods are truly formidable, on <b>par </b>with yours. It was her idea to force Mr. Anderson toe here. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to draw him <b>in</b>.”
Hearing that, Matthew smiled, clearly proud of the woman he held in high regard. He nced at a photo of her on his phone, his lips curling into a
soft, affectionate smile
“Mr. Grant, what are your ns next? Staying in Wakanda during this ume of conflict is extremely dangerous. You may not know <b>this</b><b>, </b><b>but </b>Mrs. Sophia has been hospitalized due to worry about you. If you <b>don’t </b><b>return </b>soon, things back home might get unsettled again.”
Hearing this. Matthew shook his head. “Not yet. If we release the news now, it might just stir up more unrest. Besides, <b>things </b>here aren’t resolved yet.”
<b>Charles </b>took a deep <b>breath</b>. “But what about Mrs. Grant?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to contact her when the timees. Valerie isn’t the kind of delicate woman who can’t handle things on her own. She’ll manage <b>back </b>home, especially with you there to help. Matthew said.
Charles considered this <b>and </b>agreed. <b>Given </b>his injuries, he had no choice but to stay here. As long <b>as </b>Matthew <b>was </b>safe, <b>he </b>would be reassured.
Matthew raised an eyebrow and instructed. “Keep a close watch on that cunning man. Also, <b>create </b>an opportunity for him to make contact <b>with </b>someone outside. Otherwise, how will we ever lure out the person behind him?” His subordinates promptly went to carry out the orders.
Charles <b>nced </b>at the armed forces <b>and </b>asked in surprise. “Mr. Grant, who are they?
“They’re government forces<b>. </b>I’m helping them with the fight, Matthew replied.

Charles was
was taken <b>aback</b>, realizing that Matthew was not only involved but also acting as a strategist <b>for </b>the government forces. He felt a deep sense of admiration.
Owen was growing increasingly <b>anxious</b>. He never expected to fall into such a trap because of Ethan. With Valerie having brought <b>him </b>here, it felt like a sheep enter into a tiger’s <b>den</b><b>. </b>Matthew’s men were keeping an even tighter watch on him than Charles had, shadowing his every move, even to the restroom. He had no way to make contact or escape. If he didn’t act soon, once <b>Ethan </b>was captured and the truth came <b>out</b>, it would be the
and for him N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
In Kranson City, Owen might have been able to control everything, but in Wakanda, life and death weremonce, with thousands potentially perishing any day. If Matthew knew the full extent of the situation, he probably wouldn’t be <b>so </b>easily lenient with <b>him</b>.
Owen grew <b>increasingly </b>anxious. He took a deep breath, nced at the outside, and was immediately pushed back as he tried to open the door. With no phone and no way to contact anyone, he was growing desperate. After waiting from morning until evening, he finally heard somemohon at the door<b>. </b>
He quickly pressed his ear to the door and realized it was a <b>shift </b>change. The guard stood in ce and muttered after a short while, “My stomach’s hurting again. He shouldn’t be running off. Guess I’ll just go to the restroom first!”
Owen’s heart leaped with joy. Each floor of the hotel <b>had </b>a phone at every corner. Seizing the opportunity while the <b>guard </b>went to the restroom, he quickly shipped out and dialed the <b>number</b>. After three rings, someone answered, and Owen, now extremely anxious, said, “Boss, I need you to do something for me!”
<b>“</b><b>You’re </b>in <b>Wakanda</b>? How did you end up here? the voice replied.
The voice on the other end made Owen pause. Unable to admit that he had been outmaneuvered by a woman, he replied vaguely. “Yes. The people from the Noria Group set me <b>up </b>and brought me to <b>Wakanda</b><b>. </b>Now, Manhew has already confronted me. I need <b>you </b>to find Ethan and kill him. We absolutely cannot let him meet with Matthew!”
The voice on the other endughed. “Why should this seems you’ve forgotten what you promised me before. <b>You </b>keep asking me to help you over and over–when did we be superior and subordinate?
Owen became frantic <b>“</b>Boss, if you help me. I’ll give you half of my fortune. I <b>just </b>need you to ensure I have a way out! If Ethan with Matthew, the <b>truth </b><b>will </b><be </b>out, and we won’t be able to keep our secrets II die, no one at Noria Group will be able to handle it. Consider how much Noria Group <b>is </b>worth my <b>life </b><b>is </b><b>just </b>a fraction of that. Half of my fortune is worth a lot. I beg you, please help me <b>and </b>be merciful.”
