Chapter 365


    On the other side.


    Daniel went up to the second floor and dialled Emmett’s number, “I think he found out. We must stop


    our ns.”


    They prepared for this. Emmett asked, “How did he find out?”


    “I was careless,” Daniel sat on the couch and said, “I was about to talk to Ste about the Equity


    Transfer Agreement, but I didn’t expect Charles to send people to guard the piano room. That sly fox.


    Even if he didn’t hear what we discussed, he wouldn’t let go that easily.”


    “Understood. We have no valuable clues for now. Even if Charles came searching, all he can do was


    suspecting. He won’t find any evidence,” Emmett paused, “But I’m guessing he would send someone to


    tail you. Be wary of that.”


    Daniel hung up the phone and looked outside of the window. He was deep in thoughts.


    The Equity Transfer Agreement was only a bait Charles threw out. What Charles wanted to do was way


    more than that.


    Charles’ people was tailing him in the dark, but they found out that his itinerary was the same. He


    headed to the bar after he left the piano room. There was nothing suspicious about his itineraries.


    …..


    During the night, when Ste was drawing, there was a knocking on her office door. Sherry peeked in,


    “Ste, aren’t you leaving yet?”


    Ste raised her head, “I…It’s going to take a little while more.”


    Sherry smiled ambiguously, “Alright. It’s going to rain soon. Remember to bring your umbre with you


    when you leave. Don’t get sick.”


    Ste nodded, “Sure. Be careful on your way back home.”


    After Sherry left, Ste did some stretching and moved around. Then she heard the rain pouring


    outside her window.


    Ste looked at her watch. It showed 9 p.m. Is renceing or not?


    Ste took out her phone and wanted to call rence. Then she heard footsteps outside of her door.


    Ste thought it was rence. However, when she opened the door, it was Adolph standing in the


    studio.


    Adolph was dripping wet because of the rain. He looked like a mess.


    Adolph walked towards Ste, but Ste took a step back after seeing Adolph approaching her.


    Adolph noticed Ste’s action. He stopped and continued, “I have news on Jeffrey.”


    Ste frowned, “Where is he?”


    “I need money.”


    Adolph was straightforward. He didn’t beat around the bush at all.


    Ste pouted, “How much?”


    “Five hundred thousand.”


    “I don’t have that much with me now. Tomorrow…”


    Adolph stopped Ste, “No, tonight.”


    Ste was about to negotiate, but she noticed the water dripped onto the ground from Adolph was red.


    It meant Adolph was most probably injured.


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    After a few seconds, Ste took out a bank card, “There’s three hundred thousand in this card. I’ll


    transfer the remaining two hundred thousand to you via mobile.”


    “Thanks,” Adolph took the card and said, “Jeffrey is in an abandoned warehouse by the dock. But I’d


    advise you to stay put. He is smart and familiar with that area. If you’re not in a rush, I’ll be there in a


    few days. I promise I wouldn’t let him get away this time.”


    Ste nodded, “Alright. I’ll give you the remaining amount of money as soon as you find him, just like


    our deal.”


    Adolph then turned around and walked into the rain without saying anything.


    Looking at Adolph’s back, Ste stopped Adolph out of sudden, “Wait up.”


    Adolph turned around and looked at Ste through the heavy rain.


    “Where are you going?”


    “The hospital.”


    Ste went quiet for a few seconds, then she took her car keys, “I’ll send you there. It’s hard to get a


    cab this time.”


    Adolph was surprised by Ste’s offer. He didn’t respond.


    Ste took a nce at the bloodstains on the floor. She didn’t bother to clean it up, but instead, she


    went into her office and packed her stuff. Ste took two umbres, then locked the door behind her.


    She handed one of the umbres to Adolph, “My car is over there. Let’s go.”


    Adolph took the umbre after a while.


    After getting into the car, Ste asked, “Which hospital?”


    Adolph told Ste the address, and Ste keyed it into her navigation system.


    The rain was getting heavier. Adolph voiced out after a long silence, “Aren’t you afraid that I might do


    something to you?”


    Ste’s focus was on the road, “If you really wanted to do something, you would have done it in my


    office. Plus, I’m no match for you. Why the double work then?”


    Adolph remained silent. The car seat was soaked rain and Adolph’s blood.


    When they arrived at the hospital, Adolph opened the car door and left once Ste stopped the car.


    Ste hesitated while looking at Adolph’s back. Then, she followed him into the hospital.


    Ste saw Adolph was paying the registration fee at the front counter when she walked into the


    hospital. However, the nurses were stunned and terrified due to the scar on Adolph’s face and the


    blood he was dripping onto the floor.


    Ste walked over and took the bill from Adolph. Then, she handed it to the nurse along with her bank


    card.


    It was only at that moment that the nurse gave up on calling the police.


    Ste took a nce at the name on the bill, Eugene Parker.


    If she wasn’t mistaken, it was Modesty’s father.


    The nurse handed the bank card and the receipt to Ste after paying the fee, “We…we have deducted


    the fee for your first operation. There was an insufficient bnce on the card. As for the remaining


    charges, you can pay when youe for the next surgery.”


    Ste took the bank card and the receipt, “Thanks.”


    Ste then handed the receipt to Adolph. Adolph took it and rushed upstairs and looked for the doctors.


    The operation was tomorrow. There not enough time for Ste if she couldn’t get the money by tonight.


    Ste didn’t go after Adolph. She felt her phone buzzing in her purse when she was about the leave the


    hospital.


    Ste took out her phone and saw the ten missed calls from rence.


    Ste was speechless.


    She quickly replied to rence’s call.


    The phone picked up very quickly. rence cold voice asked, “Where are you?”


    “I’m…at the hospital.”


    “Stay there. Stay put. I’ll be there.”


    “Hey…”


    rence hung up the phone before Ste could say anything.


    Ste stroked her brows. Yes, she forgot about their date, but was it necessary to sound so scary?


    It gave Ste chills down her spine.


    Ste stood at the entrance of the hospital for a while. Then, she heard a voice rose from behind,


    “Thanks for everything.”


    Ste turned around and said, “It’s fine. I’ve transferred the remaining two hundred thousand to you via


    mobile. You should check it.”


    “I’ve received the money,” Adolph paused and continued, “I’ll go after Jeffrey after Uncle Parker’s


    operation.”


    Ste said, “He’s been hiding for so long. There’s no rush. You should… You should get your wounds


    cleaned up.”
