Chapter 144


    Chapter 144 A Trap


    The ward that Adams was staying in had always been guarded by bodyguards. Few people could enter


    and exit freely. Apart from Karley, only Cindy Waller, the nurse who was responsible for taking care of


    Adams, was allowed to enter and exit the ward that day.


    Karley naturally couldn’t take care of Adams herself, so Anaya asked the private detective to focus all


    his attention on Cindy. Sure enough, he soon found the problem.


    Cindy had a husband who did not work. He had been unemployed before, but yesterday he suddenly


    found a well–paid


    job.


    After verification, HR had indeed epted bribes, which was why Cindy’s husband went to work.


    Aracely went to the detective’s office with Anaya. When she received the news, she almost smashed


    her cup.


    “Fuck, Karley is too ruthless! Adams is her biological grandfather! How can she do this to him!”


    Anaya patted her hand, indicating for her to calm down, and then looked at the detective again.


    “Do you have concrete evidence?”


    “We only have the record of Karley’s payment for that HR. I’m afraid it will be difficult to testify against


    Karley with this evidence.”


    Anaya tapped her finger on the brown wooden table and said, “I’ll take it from here. Thank you for your


    hard work.”


    She paid and took Aracely away.


    After leaving the detective’s office, Aracely asked, “Since the people here can’t get the exact evidence,


    I’m afraid this matter is not easy to handle… What are your ns?”


    Anaya stopped and stood sideways in the twilight in a gloomy expression. “I need a few people.”

    Aracely was suspicious. “Do you want to make them confess under torture? This won’t have any legal


    effect…”


    The corners of Anaya’s lips curled up with coldness. “I will let them admit it themselves.”


    Cindy took care of Adams in the hospital until nine o’clock at night and returned home after changing


    shifts. When she got near home, she saw a few men with sticks wandering downstairs of her house in


    the distance.


    Cindy was shocked and quickly hid in the small alley at the side.


    The few men downstairs leaned against the wall and chatted. One of them smashed the iron bar in his


    hand against the wall Cindy’s heart trembled when she heard the sound.


    The man said in a rough voice, “Why isn’t Cindy back yet? Ms. Karley said that if this woman leaves


    here alive tomorrow, we’ll be screwed!”


    “Let’s wait a bit longer. I remember that she usually gets off work at this time. It should be soon.”


    Their voices were particrly loud, echoing through the empty road.


    When Cindy heard their conversation, her face instantly turned pale.


    Karley wants to burn the bridges! thought Cindy.


    Cindy wanted to escape. In a moment of desperation, she identally bumped into the trash can


    behind her, making a


    loud noise.


    The few men who were waiting downstairs heard the noise and ran over.


    “It’s Cindy! Catch her!”


    Cindy was frightened and ran around in the alley.


    The few men behind her chased her so tightly that Cindy couldn’t get rid of them no matter what.


    She ran up the main road and saw a car parked by the side of the road. She ran over to open the door


    and got in without hesitation but found that the door was locked.


    Through the car window, she could see someone inside, but she could not see who it was.


    Hearing the footstepsing closer and closer behind her, Cindy anxiously knocked on the car


    window. She begged in


    a broken voice.


    “Please… Please open the car door. Someone wants to kill me…”


    The next second, the car door opened..


    “Come up.”


    The voiceing from inside the car was somewhat familiar, but Cindy did not have time to think and


    immediately


    sat inside.


    The moment the car door closed, the car dashed out.


    Cindy turned around and looked at the group of people who were left behind further away. She finally


    calmed down a


    little.


    She turned to look at the person in the driver’s seat and wanted to thank him.


    After seeing that the person driving was Anaya, she was shocked and looked away guiltily.


    “Ms. Dutt, why… Why are you here?”


    Anaya looked at the road outside the car with a faint smile on her lips. “I found something interesting


    and wanted to ask you about it.”


    “What did you find?” asked Cindy, clutching her seatbelt.


    “My grandfather suddenly fell ill. It was Karley who asked you to drug him, right?”


    Cindy’s heart tightened as she hurriedly exined, “It wasn’t me! I have no enmity with Mr. Dutt. I…”


    Cindy was so nervous that she couldn’t utter aplete sentence while Anaya said unhurriedly,


    “Cindy, I already have the key evidence of this matter. You don’t have to quibble.


    “I came to find you today to ask you to help me testify about what Karley did. Of course, if you don’t


    want to, I can continue to investigate myself.”


    “I don’t understand what you’re talking about…” Cindy’s eyes darted in different directions.


    “Cindy,” Anaya interrupted her. “If you are willing to help me testify to it, I can guarantee your safety. If


    you take the initiative to turn yourself in, the sentence can be lighter.


    “Furthermore, Karley is cruel. She even dared to harm her grandfather. As one of the insiders in this


    matter, you have no power or influence. Do you think she will let you go?”


    Anaya‘s words reminded Cindy of what had just happened.


    She was silent for a long time before she sald with difficulty. “Can you protect the safety of my husband


    and me?


    Secine that Cindy had fallen into the trap. Anaya curled lier lips. “Even if I don‘t have the strength, the


    police will still have it.”


    Cindy still had a lingering fear of what had just happened. She threw caution to the wind. “I‘ll go to the


    police station with you tomorrow.”


    “Don‘t worry. Before that, I still have something I need you to do.”


    Anaya found a hotel and temporarily ced Cindy there. She then found two people to keep an eye on


    Cindy before leaving


    When she got home, Anaya received a call from Aracely.


    “Anaya, is the matter settled? Is Cindy willing to help you?”


    Anaya looked tired as she sat down on the sofa with Sammo in her arms.


    “Yes, she has already agreed. I‘ve troubled you just now. Sorry to let your people act like bad guys.”


    “Don‘t mention it,” Aracely said with pride. “By the way, will Cindy be frightened or change her mind at


    that time? If she doesn‘t say it, it‘ll be a toughie.”


    “It‘s okay. I recorded it tonight.”


    “Anaya, I didn‘t know before that you were also a scheming girl.”


    “I was forced by life.”


    “By the way, is there any news from Hearst?”


    Ar the mention of this, Anaya‘s mood instantly sank


    She also called Hearst today, but it still couldn‘t get through.


    It was the same for both Samuel and Jayden.


    However, held back by her family matters, Anaya could only let her subordinates go over to check on


    the situation.


    However, even after checking on it for a day, her subordinates still could not find news rted to


    Hearst.
