Chapter 976


    Chapter 976 Whip


    Matthew pushed the door and went to the living room in broad strides, yelling, "Waylen Elrod!" That


    was Crayson''s real name.


    The living room was empty, but someone appeared when he called. Mateo gazed down from the


    corridor upstairs. "Matthew? What are you doing here?"


    Ever since Matthew and Veronica were injured, they never returned to Mountainside Gardens. That


    was why Mateo was surprised, especially seeing Matthew in such an aggressive state. He guessed


    that something had happened to drive Matthew into interrogation mode.


    "Where''s Waylen?" Matthew raised his head.


    "He hasn''te back since yesterday. Why?" Mateo''s brows knitted.


    Mateo was clueless about what happened at One Piece Restaurant. Not wanting to test whether the


    man was ying dumb, Matthew merely left. Only then did Lazlo catch up with Matthew at thewn, all


    huffing and puffing. "Boss, is Miss Murphy here?"


    The solemn man descended the hill without sparing Lazlo a nce. "Take Mateo away."


    "Huh? Okay. On it." Lazlo nodded despite the pressure. Through a phone call, he told Dean to send a


    few men over. This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    At the same time, Matthew was on the phone. "Track Master Crayson down at all costs."


    He drove back to One Piece Restaurant to rewind the surveince footage. No matter how many times


    they checked on it, nothing was wrong with it. At longst, he realized that someone had rigged the


    footage. The monitor reyed the scenes from the first day, and they were unaware of it this whole


    time!


    Matthew dialed Crayson''s number, but no one picked it up from the other line. Half an hourter, Lazlo


    called, "Boss, we have Mateo. He''s in the basement."


    "Okay. I''ming." Matthew went to the backroom. Complicated traps were installed along the way to


    the room, but he avoided them and entered the room like a breeze.


    There stood Mateo with his hands fettered and his mouth taped. Noticing Matthew''s entrance, he


    struggled and kept muttering something. However, his voice broke into a muffled speech. No one could


    hear what he was talking about.


    Matthew appeared rather calm as he made a video call with Hayley. When the call went through, her


    face appeared on the screen while he directed the camera at Mateo. "Where''s Veronica?" He dived


    straight into the topic without showing his face.


    Even though she did not have his number, she recognized his voice effortlessly. Her brows creased at


    the question. "Isn''t she with you? Why are you calling me? Why did you tie Mateo up? Just what are


    you doing, Matthew Kings?"


    The man on the chair crossed his legs. "Tell Waylen I''ll show him how his grandson dies if he doesn''t


    give Veronica back!" His speech was spoken with tranquility, and not a tinge of anxiety seeped into his


    voice. Then, he motioned Dean to whip Mateo.
