Chapter 270


    Kingsley answered the phone with one hand. “Hello, Mr. Parker.”Mason was the one who called


    him.“Kingsley, I saw the news about the Nicholson Family Cemetery. What’s going on?”Mason had


    been helping Reene deal with the rk Corporation for the past two days. He immediately realized the


    seriousness of the situation when he saw the news.“Mr. Parker, it is still unclear what exactly


    happened. I am not in Cleapolis right now. I will only be back in about an hour!”“I told you before that it


    is not safe to hand over the construction of the cemetery to the Lawson Family.” Mason added


    solemnly, “Kingsley, do you think Jonah Lawson might have been the mastermind behind the


    explosion?!”Jonah Lawson?Kingsley felt his heart thump when he heard Mason’s words.In fact, he had


    been so caught up with the thought that it was the spies from Sweoya who tried to sabotage his n


    that it hadpletely slipped his mind that Jonah also had a motive formitting the crime.Not only


    that, it was the Lawson Family’s Codrington Construction that contracted the construction of the entire


    cemetery!They had all the resources and timing they needed if they had wanted to blow up the


    cemetery.“Alright, Mr. Parker. I will start the investigation with the Lawsons.” Kingsley narrowed his


    eyes and growled, “If the culprit really is Jonah, I promise to make him pay a heavy price!”“Okay,”


    Mason hummed as he pondered. “I’ll still be working in the rk Corporation. Call me anytime you


    need my help with anything.”“Alright. Let’s talk about it when I get back to Cleapolis. I will get in touch


    with the young master of the Lawson Family first to dig for information.”After hanging up the call,


    Kingsley immediately made a call to Peter, to which thetter picked up almost the instant the phone


    rang.“Hello? Boss! I heard about what happened!”His shaky voice revealed how nervous and scared


    he must be at the moment.Kingsley didn’t expect him to have already confessed before he even asked


    about it.“Peter, you should know what I am calling you for, yeah?”“Of course I know, Boss! It is big


    news! How did the cemetery get blown up out of nowhere?” His tone sounded extremely anxious.


    “What the hell is going on here?!” Kingsley frowned when he heard Peter’s words. He could tell that


    Peter was not involved in this incident at all.Instead of answering, Kingsley asked in return, “What


    about your father? What has he been up to recently?”After all, it was Jonah who betrayed Xavier and


    nned to murder Mason in the first ce.That was why it was usible that Jonah had kept Peter in


    the dark about his actions.Take Trevis and Nichs for example—they, too, didn’t know the evil things


    Felix and Matt had done to the Nicholson Family!“My father?” Peter paused for a second. “He has been


    on a business trip in Diosna City. He is out of town. Why do you ask?”“He doesn’t know about the


    incident at the cemetery?” Kingsley frowned.“Dad has never asked anything regarding Codrington


    Construction ever since he handed me thepany. What is more, why would he still care about my


    smallpany when he has even left my brother in charge of the affairs of the head office?” He then


    lamented, “I am lucky Dad doesn’t know about this, or he would have ripped my skin off! The workers


    who were killed were all from ourpany! Just thinking about thepensation alone makes me


    want to die with them!”His bitter tone was all Kingsley needed to confirm that Peter was indeed not the


    perpetrator of this incident.“Alright, I got it.”Kingsley was just about to hang up the call when Peter


    quickly stopped him.“Hold on, Boss! What should I do about thepensation? ording to the


    contract, thepensation for one person is at least several million! For a small constructionpany


    like us to pay out 20 to 30 million at one go, I—”“I will pay for thepensation,” Kingsley indifferently


    cut Peter off before he could finish his sentence. “Give 10 million to each of them! It is up to you how


    much yourpany wants topensate. I will leave it to you to decide.”“Aw shucks!” Peter’s voice


    instantly sounded a lot more at ease. “I feel relieved to hear that from you! You are really a kind


    person!”Kingsley proceeded to abruptly hang up the phone without saying another word.His heart


    ached at that point.It was still fresh in his memory how the workers sat by the side of the road and had


    their boxed meals when he went over to look for Leroy.He never thought that these honest, down-to-


    earth people would get sacrificed because of him.What was worse was that not even their corpses


    survived the explosion.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
