Chapter 398


    As the driver had doubted them, Modesty didn’t talk to Adolph again to avoid unnecessary troubles.


    Adolph also lowered his head all the way with the hat covering half of his face.


    When they arrived at the destination, they got out of the car one by one.

    Modesty followed Adolph and Adolph stopped on an intersection near the hotel. There was no person


    in the surroundings.


    When he turned around, Modesty hurriedly asked, “Adolph, have you seen the note I left to you?”


    Adolph nodded his head, “What happened?”


    Modesty replied anxiously, “Where have you been during this period? And where’s my father? He


    hasn’te back for a long time.”


    “Modesty, your father…”


    “Never mind. This is not important. We can talk about thister.” Modesty interrupted him and


    continued, “Adolph, I have a big problem now. Please help me. You’re the only one who can help me.”


    Adolph swallowed the words that he wanted to say, “What’s it?”


    Ten minutester…


    When preparing red wine in the room of the hotel, Arthur heard the doorbell. He put down the ss and


    walked to the door while humming, “You’re so quick…”


    Before he could finish the words, he saw a man in ck standing at the door.


    Arthur knitted his brows tightly, “Who are you looking for?”


    Right at this moment, the man slowly lifted his head, his eyes full of coldness and killing intentions.


    Arthur sensed a hint of trouble. But when he prepared to shout for help, the mannded a kick on his


    belly. Arthur hit onto the wall and then fell onto the ground.


    Covering his belly, he felt the sharp pain and couldn’t utter a syble.


    Adolph closed the door, grabbed his hair and dragged him into the room. Arthur’s screams were


    gradually covered by the music in the room.


    From the kick, Arthur knew deep down that he could not win the man if he wanted to fight against him


    and hurriedly begged for his mercy, “Are you hired by that bitch Modesty? How much does she pay


    you? I will double it, nope, triple it. I will give you no matter how much you want.”


    Adolph casually grabbed an ashtray from the table and mmed it on Arthur’s head without hesitation.


    Arthur, who tried to negotiate with Adolph just now, was suddenly silent and fell onto the ground.


    Adolph picked up his phone from the sofa, examined the whole room, found out several CDs and then


    quickly left the room.


    Modesty had been waiting for him downstairs. She felt it the most torturing moment in her life.


    When Adolph finally went out of the hotel, Modesty hurriedly stood up and asked nervously, “Adolph,


    how’s it?”


    Adolph produced a phone and several CDs from his pocket and handed them to Modesty.


    Shivering, Modesty took the things from him, “Are these all?”


    “These are all.”


    Modesty heaved a sigh of relief. At the next moment, she seemed to recall something and asked,


    “Have you seen the contents?”


    Adolph shook his head, “Nope.”


    “That’s great.”


    When Modesty put the things into her bag, she noticed Adolph was bleeding. She subconsciously took


    a step backwards with shock and horror all over her face.


    Adolph lowered his head and took a nce, “It’s from my wounds.”


    Modesty asked, “Did… did those people follow me because of you?”


    “They probably have found out our rtionship. They follow you in an attempt to catch me.”


    Modesty abruptly widened her eyes, “They why did youe to find me? What should I do if they know


    that we’ve met?”


    Adolph moved his lips trying to say something, but he was suddenly lost for words.


    Modesty looked around and urged him, “Hurry up to leave. Don’te to find me again.”


    After finishing the words, she noticed that Adolph was still motionless and became more anxious as


    she was afraid that they would find out they were still in touch with each other. She was in a hurry to


    leave.


    “Modesty.” Adolph stooped her. Looking at her back, he asked, “Don’t you care about your father’s


    condition?”


    Modesty had been restless recently. Although Adolph solved Arthur for her, before she could relieve,


    she learned that Adolph had brought her a bigger problem, so she was quite angry now. “Why should I


    care about him? I’m so busy with my own troubles? Who can concern about me?”


    Adolph didn’t speak. Modesty left in a hurry.


    Aftering back home, she smashed Arthur’s phone and the CDs into pieces. It was like she had


    vented some of her anger by doing this.


    Now since Arthur had died and these evidences were ruined, no one would be able to threaten her


    again.


    But she didn’t expect that Arthur had managed to dodge Adolph’s critical strike and survived.


    Arthur passed out. After an hour, he woke up. Fighting down the sharp pain from his body, he wanted


    to find his phone to call the police, but failed.


    cing his hand on the wall to support himself, he groped and walked out of the room. He could


    vaguely saw a person in the front, but before he could utter a syble, he fell onto the ground.


    The staff of the hotel was freaked out when seeing his bloody face. Not daring to waste a single


    moment, he hurriedly called the ambnce and the police.


    …


    At ten o’clock in the evening, the helicopternded in the Cloud City.


    Ste opened her eyes in a daze and checked the time. She then found that it had been several hours.


    She left rence’s arms and twisted her neck.


    She had to admit that she had had a good sleep over the past several years.


    A car had been waiting for them beside the helicopter.


    After getting into the car and looking at the sceneries that shed across the windows, Ste yawned


    and asked, “Aren’t there many matters to deal with in yourpany? You suddenlye here. Will it


    have any impact on your work?”


    renceted her fingers, yed her hand and replied in a low, charming and husky voice, “Even an


    iron man needs rest.”


    “The cost of this rest is too high. We could as well have a sleep at home.”


    “Didn’t you say you want to visit her?”


    “It’s just that…”


    Ste found that she was indefensible on this matter and since she could not win the argument with


    rence, she decided to drop this topic.


    The car arrived at Dolores’ domicile twenty minutester.


    After getting out of the car, Ste found that this detached house was quiet. There was a garden as


    well as a small vegetable farm.


    It was indeed a good ce to live in.


    Seeing that she was still standing on the spot, rence asked in a low voice, “Why are you just


    standing here?”


    “I’m pondering whether Ms. Anderson has gone to bed or not.”


    rence replied, “Not yet. I called her beforeing here.”


    “Well.”


    Actually she was pondering the other mater. If she saw that little boy here, then her guess before might


    be right.


    But if she didn’t see him here, it could only prove how foolish her guess was.


    Seeing that she was lowering her head seeming to be pondering something, rence licked his lips


    secretly. He directly held up her hand and led her into the house.


    Ste pulled herself back to reality. Her hand that was held by rence uncontrobly broke out into


    cold sweats.


    This way was not that long. But Ste held her breath when taking every step.


    Her assumption and suspicion would be confirmed soon.
