    Chapter 1501 A Sense Of Foreboding


    Meanwhile, Stephen and Mnie were also discussing the same matter.


    At the dinner table, Stephen stared at the spread of delicious food Mnie had specially prepared.


    s, he found the food tasting like ash in his mouth.


    After a moment’s hesitation, he ced his cutlery down. Regarding Mnie solemnly, he finally uttered


    the words he had been keeping to himself the whole night.


    “Mnie, you’ve recovered, so I’d like to make a trip to K Nation tomorrow.”


    Hearing that, Mnie was stunned. “K Nation? Why do you want to go there?”


    Stephen sighed in response. “After Nina went to K Nation, there hasn’t been any news of her. I want to


    go over and look for her.”


    Nina.


    At once, Mnie’s gaze darkened. Back then, I used all my savings to hire some men to kill her, so she


    has probably bitten the dust by now! Besides, the men I hired even phoned me to reassure me that


    they hadpleted their job. As such, he won’t find her even if he goes over.

    “Stephen, Nina is the heiress of Seet Group. Mr. Seet will naturally send someone over to search for


    her. You don’t know anyone in K Nation, so I don’t think you should go.”


    “I know you don’t want me to go, but I… I promised Chris that I would protect Nina for three years. I


    would be going back on my word if I didn’t go, and that would weigh on my conscience.”


    Mnie’s hands tightened around her cutlery. “Stephen, do you want to go and look for her just


    because of your promise to Chris? Or is it because you yourself want to do so? Your feelings for Nina


    —”


    “I don’t want to talk about this with you right now, Mnie. I’m definitely going to K Nation.”


    At his vehemence, Mnie went silent.


    It seems that he has made up his mind to go, so it won’t do me any good to dissuade him further. Fine,


    he can do so if he so wishes it. After going over and not finding her, he’ll naturally give up once and for


    all.


    “Okay, just go, then. When are you nning toe back?”


    “I’lle back when I find her.”


    “What if you never find her?”


    Stephen was startled to hear that. “Why would I never find her?”


    Mnie’s heart lurched. Crap, I was too quick to speak that I almost gave the game away! I really hope


    he doesn’t suspect anything!


    Hence, she hurriedly exined, “I mean, you can’t be staying in K Nation forever if she has other ns


    or arrangements there or isn’t willing to see you.”


    Stephen thought for a moment before replying, “I’ll return as long as I’ve ascertained that she’s safe.


    It’s fine even if I don’t get to see her.”


    At that, Mnie was again left with no retort.


    She’s already dead, so there’s no way you can ascertain her safety!


    “How about this? Give yourself half a month, Stephen. Come back after half a month, okay?” She


    gazed at him with yearning in her eyes, putting on a pitiful expression. “I’m unustomed to not having


    you here, and I don’t want to be apart from you for too long. How about… How about you bring me


    along?”


    However, Stephen declined after deliberating for some time, “You should just stay home since you’ve


    just recovered. I’ll try to return as soon as possible.”


    Nodding, Mnie took a piece of beef and ced it into his bowl.


    And so, the matter of Stephen going to K Nation was set in stone.


    Stephen started packing his luggage and booking a flight ticket after the meal. As Mnie watched at


    the side, a sliver of worry lingered within her. Will he see Nina’s body? And if that happens, will the fact


    that it was my doinge to light? Those few men whom I hired became unreachable after having


    gotten the money! I hope they did a clean job, and it won’t implicate me!


    The next morning, Stephen hastily drove straight to the airport after drinking a ss of milk.


    For some inexplicable reason, he felt unsettled about the trip to K Nation, having a sense of foreboding


    that something would happen.


    At Seet Group, Kyle had eagerly ordered his assistant, John, to investigate the information he had


    obtained from Sally’s phone at Neon Hotel back then.


    Right then, John had found out something of interest and was reporting it to him while standing before


    his desk.


    “Mr. Seet, two of the ces you asked me to investigate are abandoned manors. As for the other two,


    one is a residence, and the other is a pharmacy.”


    “Is there anything special about those ces?”


    “I didn’t find anything special about them, but there are signs of activity at the two abandoned manors.


    Like Maupay Manor, both have secret rooms and people living there.”
