Chapter 2145


    This meant that this so-called rtive was not someone they knew.


    Shortly after, Chad strode back in and informed Elliot, "Mr. Foster, this woman ims to be Peter


    White''s wife. Do you remember Peter? He''s your half-brother."


    Elliot’s expression instantly darkened at the mention of that name.


    He knew that Peter had been in Bridgedale the entire time. Peter was hardly a capable man, yet he


    was more ambitious than anyone he knew.


    "Why would his wifee looking for me?" Elliot didn''t want to meet with the woman.


    "To ask for money," Chad said. "She said that Peter had tried running a business and failed, and he


    is now in enormous debt. He is missing and the loan shark hase for her. She can''t pay the


    debt, so she hase to ask you for help."


    "How much does she want?" Elliot stood up.


    "I didn''t ask. Should I go and ask her?"


    "Bring her here. I''ll ask her myself."


    "Okay." Chad left the meeting room and brought Peter''s wife back, before leaving the room


    immediately after.


    Peter''s wife was crying her heart out to the point that she was struggling to breathe. " Elliot, I really


    don''t have any other options...


    "When did you marry Peter?" Elliot had not heard any news of Peter getting married.


    "We got married officially two years ago and had our weddingst year. I am five months pregnant


    now and he has gone missing," she sobbed. "Had the loan shark note to our door, I didn''t even


    know that he''s in such an enormous debt. It''s nine hundred thousand! Where am I supposed to get


    that much money?"


    The woman was in distress and Elliot could not help but sympathize with her when he nced at


    her belly.


    "Give me the contact of the loan shark." He could not be certain who this woman truly was and


    whether she was telling the truth. After all, he had not been invited to Peter''s wedding.


    Peter''s wife immediately took out her phone from her purse and showed him a number.

    Meanwhile, in the hospital, Dean''s


    assistant rushed into Dean''s room while he was having his infusion.


    Startled, Dean''s expression darkened.


    "Mr. Jennings! We found Mary!" The assistant would never dare to intrude if it was not something


    important.


    Dean''s eyes lit up in an instant.


    He grabbed onto the handle by the bed and struggled to get up. The assistant and nanny


    immediately went to help.


    "Through the hint you provided me, I tried searching for the purchase records in real estate in this


    city, but there was no sign of Mary purchasing any property so I sent our men to the neighboring city


    and found her! Ang sure is smart! She treated her daughter well, too! The new ce Mary is


    currently staying in is a big mansion!"


    Dean''s face flushed from excitement."


    Bring her here! I want to question her on my own!"


    "Yes! Our men have already secured her, and they are on the way here as we speak. There''s quite


    a distance so it will probably be another hour of driving."


    "You''ve done well this time! Once I get out of the hospital, expect a great reward for your service!"


    Dean looked at his assistant with appreciation. "Sebastian isn''t even half as useful as you are!"


    "You are too kind, Mr. Jennings."


    Two hourster, an old man stepped into Tate Industries and asked to speak to Elliot.


    The receptionist scanned the old man up and down, suspecting that he was mentally ill. Why would


    someone like Elliot know someone this insignificant?


    "If you refuse to go, I''m calling security!" The receptionist threatened.


    "I am only here because someone asked me toe here. I didn''t want toe this far either..."


    the old man said with resignation. "Can you just take a message for Elliot Foster, then? This young


    lady asked me to tell him that everything is fake.
