Chapter 489
Fingers flying over the keyboard, North managed to locate Lara’s resume. Thirty years ago, she had
worked in Kanes Corporation as Gerald’s secretary. The media exposed their affair and when Gerald’s
wife found out, they had a big fight. After that, Gerald broke off his rtionship with Lara. At that time,
he gave Lara one percent of hispany’s share aspensation.
North nodded. This exined why she was one of the shareholders of the Kanes Corporation. As North
stretched his body, he suddenly remembered Samantha had also once worked for Kanes Corporation
too, so he checked on her as well.
Kanes Corporation did have a secretary named Samantha Yapp and her picture did match Samantha,
whom he had met. But he still felt that something was off! North frowned a little, wondering if he was
overthinking.
He stared at Samantha’s picture for a long time. Everything seemed normal but when he saw her eyes
today, he remembered being afraid and felt hatreding from inside of him. What was going on? He
continued investigating a bit longer and discovered that Samantha didn’tplete the formalities for
her resignation. Was it because the information had not been updated yet or was the problem with
Samantha herself? He felt it was too much for his brain toprehend.
Meanwhile, Eugene headed directly to Ruby Pce’s basement, as the men captured by his
bodyguards were imprisoned there.
“Mr. Nn—” A bodyguard greeted him, only to be interrupted by Eugene. “Did you get any
information?”
“They''re keeping their mouth shut and won''t say anything,” the bodyguard replied.
Eugene chuckled coldly. “You lot are doing it the wrong way. Bring them over here!”
The bodyguard responded in the affirmative. After a while, five big men were brought in front of Eugene
as the bodyguard exined, “Mr. Nn, we only caught five of them; the rest got away.”
Eugene didn’t mind, as five were more than enough. He looked at the five men tied up in front of him.
Some were injured while others were disabled, and there was even one lying with his face on the floor.
“What’s wrong with him?”
“He got hit in the head by Miss Maxwell’s friend and hasn''t woken up since. We’ve tried everything but
he just won’t wake up,” the bodyguard exined.
Eugene was surprised. Was that woman so strong? “Turn him around!”
Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
The bodyguard obeyed hismand. When Eugene saw his face, he raised his brows slightly. Have I
seen him before? He closed his eyes and tried to remember. Taking out his phone, he gave a call to
Curtis. “Bring me the pictures you found of those who had been in contact with Luca Matthews. I’m in
Ruby Pce’s basement.”
Curtis looked at the time, confused. It was already two in the morning but the president wanted him to
send the pictures over right now? However, he didn’t dare to refuse so he answered instantly,
“Understood.”
Eugene hung up before looking at the four men standing in front of him. “Do you guys have any idea
who the person you robbed was?”
The men lowered their heads and didn’t make a sound, trying to act tough. Eugene sneered, “Alright
then. I have all the time in the world to waste with you. Tell me the truth if you want to get out of here. If
not, you can stay here underground.”
With that, he signaled to the bodyguards standing behind him. They understood immediately and went
to stand beside each man.
The men peeked at the bodyguards beside them. It was not that they refused to speak, but they would
die even if they were to tell the truth. So every time when they went out on a mission, they would make
sure they would say the same thing—they were only following orders and didn’t know anything.
Eugeneughed cruelly as he pointed at them. “1, 2, 3, 4. Starting from left to right, those who refuse to
speak will be punished.”
“Who gave you the order to rob Olivia Maxwell? Number 1, answer me.”
The man standing on the very left was shivering when he heard this and his eyes were filled with
horror. Why did Eugene start with him?
