Chapter 531 Can We Trust Them?


    “This ident is just a warning,” Matthew frowned as he said, “and I’m afraid they’ll do something else


    after that. If you intervene now, they will be intimidated. That way, I’ll never find out who they are.”


    Wayne was conflicted after hearing Matthew’s words. He didn’t want Matthew to be in danger. But


    when he put himself in Matthew’s shoes, he thought the boy had a point. He knew better than anyone


    the problems Matthew faced as the president of this group.


    “Do you have a n?” He asked.


    Matthew nodded. “Don’t worry. I’m ready for it.”


    “Can |help you in any way?”


    “Yes.”


    Hearing that, Wayne raised his eyes to Matthew.


    “want you to go back home and stay out of things here,” Matthew said calmly.


    Wayne froze for a second, as he didn’t expect Matthew to say anything like that. He even suspected


    that the two of them had been adversaries in a previous life. Matthew never allowed his father to be


    involved in anything he did and thought he was a pain in the ass. Wayne thought things would improve


    once Matthew grew up, but they didn’t. Yet, Wayne was relieved that no one was nearby to witness this


    awkward moment.


    “You can have more rest, son. I’ll be here for a few days.” Wayne said. He then stood up and exited the


    room.


    Matthew took a sip of the milk on the table after his dad left. He 530 Can We Trust Them?? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    smiled as he looked toward the room’s door.


    Maria sat in the living room, waiting, She stood up when she saw Wayne and asked, “How is he?”


    Wayne did not respond. Instead, he asked, “What did the doctor say about his injuries


    “He said they were not serious. Something fell from the top of the building and hit Matthew. The police


    have apprehended the troublemakers.”


    “Who are these people?”


    “They bought some apartments in this unfinished building. Though We have spent arge amount of


    money helping thest contractor pay off the debt andpensated the residents, they still tried to


    ckmail us.”


    “| didn’t see these people thest time | came, so I’m suspicious about why they gathered there on the


    day Matthew went there. They’re not just trying to ckmail us, I’m afraid.”


    Hearing Wayne’s analysis, Maria wentpletely still.


    “Are the people around Matthew trustworthy?” Wayne raised his head to look at Maria.


    “I’m going to find out who gave out his schedule,” Maria clenched her fist.


    Wayne nodded. “Great, I’ll stay here for a few days and look into the matter. I’ll go back to my room


    now. Call me if you find any clues.”


    “Okay.”


    “By the way, did you tell Anna about this?”


    Maria replied, shaking her head. “No, | didn’t. | told her I called 530 Can We Trust Them?


    because there was a minor issue with the project, but you weren’t returning my calls.”


    “allright, thanks. Anna has been very busy recently, so let’s keep this under wraps for the time being.”


    “Gott.”


    After returning to his room, Wayne texted Anna to let her know he had arrived. Anna then quickly called


    him.


    “Are you already there? Did you see Matthew?”


    Wayne smiled as he listened to Anna’s sweet voice. “Why are you asking about your son first? Don’t


    you care about me at all?”


    “allright, I’m sorry. Have you had your dinner yet?”


    “No, not yet. | just got off the ne, so I’m not particrly hungry. How about you? What did you have


    for dinner?”


    “| ate a lot of foodst night. Mom had just brought over somesagna, and | couldn’t stop eating half of


    it. What about | get you some take-out? You should at least eat something.”


    “You always tell me | should eat healthy dinners, but you eat nothing healthy at work.”


    “Everyone knows what to eat is bad for their health, but we still like to eat junk food when we’re on


    night shifts,” Anna said right away, “Jasper called me today, by the way. He said that he searched the


    whole ind and was certain that Isabe could only leave there by boat.”


    “That’s simple. We can check the boats that leave the ind.”


    “Jasper has already done so. However, many boats depart from the ind these days, includingrge


    cruise ships and small boats. Many local guides use boats to bring tourists to the ind. It’s almost


    impossible for


    us to track her down.” 530 Can We Trust Them?


    “Did Jasper say anything?”


    “He said he could only try again. Isabe’s phone is currently turned off, and I guess perhaps she


    identally lost it.”


    “Don’t worry. She’ll be fine.”


    Anna frowned and replied, “I’m hoping so. I’ve had a bad feeling all day, and I’m guessing it’s because


    of her.”


    Wayne said calmly, his brow furrowed. “Maybe. Oh, my meals are here. I’m going to hang up now.”


    The wind was bitterly cold at night in Cliatin. The only convenience store near Cliatin University was still


    open. When Anthony entered the store, he heard the store manager yelling at someone.


    “I told you to put the most recent items in the back! And why are you always pouring coffee?”


    A girl stood across from the store manager. She kept her head down but didn’t seem to believe she had


    done anything wrong. Her long brown hair was silky smooth, and her eyes were as soft as moonlight.


    She pursed her lips tightly and didn’t say a word in her own defense.


    “Good evening,” Anthony said as he walked in.


    “Anthony! | was about to cal 11 you. Do you realize you brought me a terrible employee? She made me


    lose a lot of money on the first day she came here! And she’s been here for only one day!” The store


    manager expressed his displeasure.


    Anthony stood between the girl and the manager and said, “It’s Chelsea’s first day here! She has never


    worked before, so she has no idea how anything works. She’ll realize what she’s supposed to doter.”


    “I don’t have time for her! Please tell her not toe back ever again. 530 Can We Trust Them?


    I’ll hire a better employee tomorrow.”


    ” | will apany Chelsea whenever shees to work and train her. I’m sure she’ll be proficient by


    next week.”


    The store manager hesitated for a while, then said, “But | can only pay you one sry.”


    “No problem;” Anthony replied right away.


    The store manager smiled as he walked away. Then Anthony exhaled a sigh of relief and turned to face


    the girl behind him, asking, “Are you okay?”


    “Thank you,” the girl whispered.


    Anthony shook his head and said, “That’s okay. If you work here for a while, you’ll notice he’s a nice


    guy. He’s just alittle stingy.”


    The girl walked silently to register and began sorting the disposable coffee cups. Anthony kept his gaze


    fixed on her. “You still can’t remember anything?” he asked after a brief pause.


    The girl froze for a moment before shaking her head.


    “It’s fine. You’ll remember who you areter. Do you want me to take you to the police station


    tomorrow?”


    “No,” the girl said in a firm tone as she abruptly lifted her head, “I’m not going to the police station. You


    can ignore me if you think| ama liability.”


    Anthony frowned. At this point, the girl became apathetic, like a stray cat trying to protect itself.


    “That’s not what | meant. | don’t think you should be here by yourself.” Anthony exined


    The girl remained silent. As a result, Anthony could only shut up. After the staff on the night shift


    arrived, Anthony left with that girl. 530 Can We Trust Them?


    Anthony had a small apartment close to his university. His parents bought him that ce two years ago


    when he was a freshman. Heter renovated it himself and lived there instead of his dormitory. As soon


    as Anthony opened his door, he was interrupted by a man who asked loudly, “You lied to me, Anthony!


    What is this? Are you living with a girl?
