Chapter 1245


    His words were like a sucker punch to the gut, almost too much to take in at once. After a while, I


    finally opened my mouth to say, "So, are you implying that Hendrix''s ident has something to do


    with Sebastian?"


    He curled his lip. "If this problem could be solved by guessing, your husband would have been


    saved long ago."


    Tobias wasn''t wrong. In the business world, there were no permanent enemies, nor were there


    permanent friends. It all boils down to profit. Everything else was secondary.


    Gerald''s billion- dor, profitable business was handed over to Hendrix. People would do anything


    to have a slice of that pie. Human life was insignificantpared to untold riches.


    "What should I do next?" I asked. I calmed down and cleared my thoughts.

    He looked at me and said, "Call your men, find out Sebastian''s movements over the past two days.


    Investigate the people he recently met with. Pay attention to thepany and factories of the Milton


    family in Oand too."


    I nodded. Sheridan was waiting outside Tobias''s vi and I was about to go out to ry the orders


    when Tobias stopped me. I blinked at him in confusion.


    He frowned, looking somewhat exasperated. "Just give him a call. Don''t go wandering around.


    You''re Hendrix''s wife. Do you think they won''t go after you after making a move on Hendrix? Don''t


    forget, if anything happens to Hendrix, you stand to inherit all his assets. You''re an equal target."


    His shocking words sent shivers down my spine and I broke out in a cold sweat. I took out my


    phone from my pocket and called Sheridan. After the phone call, I looked at him and asked, "What


    now?"


    He answered nonchntly, "If you want to die, you can go to the hotel with your father''s men. If


    you''re afraid of death, you can stay here until we''ve confirmed Hendrix''s whereabouts."


    Of course, I chose thetter. Who in their right mind would choose to risk death? I looked at him and


    said cautiously, "Would it be convenient for me to live here?"


    Hisugh echoed around me, "It''s not convenient, but do you have a choice?"


    Nope.


    Tobias''s vi was very big but I was given the room next to his. Sheridan acted right after he


    received my instructions. After that, there was nothing else I could do but sit tight and wait.


    Tobias, on the other hand, waspletely carefree. After the video conference in his study, he went


    swimming in the swimming pool behind the vi.


    It was a big vi with so few people, and I felt lonely. I couldn''t sit still, so I went down for a walk on


    the grounds. I was surprised to find a vegetable garden in the backyard.


    The greater surprise was not the presence of the garden itself. What was surprising was that


    Tobias, the yboy, had such an interest in growing vegetables. From the looks of it, he took great


    care of his garden. I even saw mulberries on the backyard wall. Theyout didn''t seem like it was


    professionally done yet it had a certain charm.


    I noticed that the cucumbers were ripe. Some cucumbers looked exceptionally juicy. However, at


    closer inspection, its branches were starting to wither, the leaves turning yellow. Perhaps it was


    because no one wanted to eat them, hence they were just left hanging like that.
