Chapter 182


    Chapter 182 Chips in His Hand Are All Gone


    In the entire Baltimore, there was no one else other than Gustave who could silently take Reina away


    from Avery’s ce.


    The more Avery thought about it, the more he felt that it could be rted to


    Gustave.


    It was one thing for Nigel to disappear, but Reina, who was paralyzed in bed and could not take care of


    herself at all, was suddenly transferred out of the hospital without anyone knowing. It was definitely not


    something that ordinary people could do.


    Thinking of this, he tensed up and stood up, looking at Cyrus. “Call Mr. Cassius. Don’t say anything else.


    Just ask him if his son is still at his ce.”


    He was not sure if Darlene knew about the disappearance of Nigel and Reina. If she did not know, the


    sudden disappearance of her grandmother and younger brother would make her unable to ept it for a


    while.


    Cyrus immediately called and quickly came over to tell Avery. “Mr. Walpole is at Mr. Cassius’s ce.


    “Mr. Cassius said that Mr. Walpole and his mother had stayed at the Walpole’s home for the entire night


    until now. They had never left the Walpole’s home


    for a minute.”


    Speaking of which, it was also because Gustave had been trapped.


    Furthermore, Darlene had caused a ruckus when she returned to Southwood Vist night, which was


    why Avery and Cyrus had neglected Reina and Nigel.


    Avery had nned to go to the hospital this morning and go to Nigel’s school


    to see him.


    However, because Aleena hade early in the morning and dyed him for


    such a long time and even threatened to call the police over, Avery was


    momentarily distracted and forgot about visiting Nigel and Reina.


    When he thought of this, Avery grabbed the cup on the coffee table and smashed it to the ground.


    “Kidding me?”


    Aleena had obviously never intended to sign the contract with Avery.


    She was most likely very clear that the police could not do anything to Avery, and Avery could not allow


    her to meet Darlene either.


    However, she still stayed here for a long time. Now that she had left and something had happened,


    Avery finally reacted. Her real purpose foring here was to stall him and Cyrus, intentionally stalling


    for time.


    Avery clenched his fists, and his voice trembled in anger. “Even if Aleena is involved, the person who


    actually made arrangements must have something


    to do with Gustave!”


    Cyrus thought of something and said in a low voice, “I remember something. Mr. Walpole was trapped in


    the house by Mr. Cassius yesterday. This is true.


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    “But he has a capable assistant called Darnell. Last night, I went to the


    hospital to visit Reina. I seemed to see Darnell sneaking into the hospital.”


    The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.


    “No one in the Walpole family is sick. Gustave was trapped in the house. Darnell did not think of a way to


    help but ran to the hospital at night. It is


    fishy.”


    Avery clenched his fists tightly and pressed them against the sofa. “So, it was all a trap. Gustave


    deliberately pretended to be trapped by Mr. Cassius helplessly. So Mr. Cassius and I rxed our


    vignce. Then, this morning, Aleena came to pin me down.”


    As for sending Reina and Nigel away, it was nned by him a long time ago. It was just that he let


    Darnell take action. He is inconspicuous.”


    It was no wonder that the servants and bodyguards at Gustave’s vist night were so obedient to let


    Avery in. They even took the initiative to stop and


    persuade Darlene to follow Avery.


    He figured everything out, but it was toote. Cyrus said that the only bargaining chip that Avery could


    use to keep Darlene was Reina and Nigel.


    Now that all the chips were gone, Darlene would not be willing to stay by his side. Her heart had long


    belonged to Gustave.


    Avery’s expression was extremely ugly as he instructed a servant, “Keep an eye on Darlene and don’t let


    her leave Southwood Vi. No matter whoes, he will not be allowed toe in or see her.”


    When the servant heard that something had happened, she nodded in agreement cautiously.


    At the Walpole’s home…


    Gustave was heavily injured and was locked in the bedroom with Catalina.


    He had no intention of escaping, but it seemed that because Catalina was controlled, he had no choice


    but topromise with Cassius.


    Cassius was not only unhappy but also a little gratified. In any case, Gustave


    still had a soft spot.


    Although threatening his son with his wife was disgraceful, Cassius had no


    other choice.


    He went downstairs to have breakfast and sat on the sofa in the living room imagining what would


    happen in the future. “After this, he will be obedient. I


    will ask him to go back to the Walpole Group and continue to manage the


    As soon as he finished speaking, there was amotion outside.


    The butler came in from outside in a panic and said anxiously, “Sir, Darnell has brought a few police


    officers over.”


    Cassius’s face darkened. “What’s going on? My son has been obediently staying here. Is his assistant


    qualified to call the police over? I think he is risking his neck.”


    Darnell’sughter came from outside. “Mr. Cassius, you are so arrogant. The police are impartial. No


    matter how capable I am, I can’t let the police officers barge into your ce for no reason.”


    Cassius’s face was a little stiff, and he began to y dumb. “What do you mean, Darnell? My fellow


    police officers, what kind of case are you


    investigating? I haven’t done anything that I shouldn’t have done. I’m afraid


    you havee to the wrong ce.”


    John showed his police registration certificate and said, “Mr. Cassius, we have received a call, iming


    that you have illegally imprisoned your son and wife.


    ‘Your wife is suffering from a psychological illness. You have the


    responsibility and right to supervise and take care of her. But for your son, an


    adult with a healthy mind, it is unreasonable for you to restrict his personal


    freedom.”


    Cassius looked surprised. “What are you saying? My wife is with my son. As for my son, he has grown


    up and is strong. As his father, I can’t control him.


    “He is really not with me. What happened, Darnell? Is he missing?”


    On the stairs, Gustave’s voice sounded. “Darnell, why did you alert the police? I just brought my mother


    here to take a look.”


    Cassius’s face froze for a moment. He turned around and looked at Gustave who was walking


    downstairs with Catalina. Behind them, several bodyguards who were in a sorry state rushed out. They


    were obviously injured.


    When they met Cassius’s angry eyes, the bodyguards looked terrified.


    Gustave, who had been abused by Cassius because of Catalina fromst night until now, suddenly


    changed his stance when he heard the noise downstairs.


    He was obviously injured by Cassius, but when he attacked, the bodyguards could not stop him at all.


    Johnughed. “Isn’t he here?”


    Cassius put on a fake smile. “When did this brate? I just woke up and didn’t even know when he


    hade here.”


    Gustave brought Catalina outside and apologized to the police. “I just came to take a look. My assistant


    was too rash and troubled you.”


    The police officers looked at each other in dismay for a while, but they still


    left.


    Cassius watched them leave. Then, he turned around and scolded the bodyguards angrily, “A bunch of


    trash!”


    The bodyguards looked helpless. “Mr. Walpole had no intention of fighting back fromst night until this


    morning. He suddenly made a move just now. As you know, it’s really difficult for someone to gain the


    upper hand if they fight him.”


    Cassius was so angry that he dropped something on the ground. When Gustave went out, the sound of


    something smashing could be heard faintly.


    The police left first. Catalina was a little frightened. Gustave let Arthur who


    followed them take Catalina to the doctor first.


    Darnell got into the car and sat in the driver’s seat.


    When Gustave got in the back seat, Aleena was already sitting there with a face full of admiration. “Mr.


    Walpole, you had a wonderful n. You even schemed against your own father. You are amazing!”


    Gustaveughed. “Ms. Spence is quite capable. You helped a lot. I should treat


    you to a mealter.”


    Aleena clicked her tongue. “That’s strange. Darlene is not your woman. I helped her because we are


    friends. Why should you treat me to a meal?”


    Darnell, who was in front,ughed. “Ms. Spence, Mr. Walpole has a high IQ and low EQ. Don’t beat


    around the bush to know his true thoughts. You’ll definitely seed.”


    Gustave stopped joking and looked at Darnell. “My phone is out of battery. Send a message to Darlene


    so that she can be at ease.”
