Then, Felicity left with a gloomy expression on her face.
Emily was ecstatic. “Vermont, there’s a hotel nearby. Should we go there and get some rest?”
Vermont’s gaze remained fixated on the cab driving away. He only looked away after the carcompletely disappeared from his sight.
He glanced at Emily nonchalantly and said in a cold voice,” Who gave you the audacity to shower in myhouse?”
Emily was taken aback by his sudden change of attitude. Then, she stuttered, “V-Vermont, wh-what didyou say?”
“Don’t call me that.” Vermont chuckled lightly as his gaze turned frosty. “Do you think we’re that close?”novelbin
He leaned slightly forward and whispered in Emily’s ear. ’Do you know what happened to the personwho did the same thing to me last time? I made her disappear from Rivera forever. You should be gladthat I’m in a good mood today. Otherwise, I’d do the same to you.”
Then, he returned to his original position and glanced at Emily’s pale face. He smiled faintly. “Don’t lookso sad; the police might think I’m mistreating you.”
Emily shivered and fearfully forced a smile on her face.
Vermont had worked on himself and improved his temper over the years, but people seemed to haveforgotten how he fought his way up from the bottom.
He was so young, yet he managed to get where he was through his own abilities. He had seen all thedirtiest secrets in the industry and could easily see through a person’s intention when they approachedhim.
Only then did Emily realize that Vermont did not testify for her because he was interested in her.Instead, he was just putting on a show for someone else.
Felicity felt awful, and her heart throbbed in pain.
Suddenly, her phone rang. She looked at it and realized it was almost time for her follow-upappointment with Steven next Monday.
Just as the meeting ended, Aldor knocked on Keegan’s office door.
“Mr. Kane, something’s happened to Walter.”
Keegan paused and lifted his gaze. “What is it?”
Aldor placed the tablet in front of Keegan and responded, *’ This is the real-time location data from thetracking device on him. It hasn’t moved at all since last night, and it has been over forty hours now.
“I downloaded the audio recording here. Let me play it for you.”
Aldor pressed the play button as he spoke.
Keegan’s expression grew solemn upon listening to the conversation. When it ended, he lookedsomewhat surprised as he shifted his gaze to Aldor.
“He’s dead?”
Aldor nodded. “Most probably. The location of the tracker is very close to the sea. I’ve contacted Mr.Lowe to find out where Hylda went these days. On the day Walter went missing, she was seen with a
large suitcase on surveillance cameras near that area. Then, she moved the following day and had herplace thoroughly cleaned.”
Keegan remained silent for a moment before he said in a low voice, “Locate the suitcase and guide thepolice there.”
Aldor nodded.
Hylda was far more wicked than Keegan had expected her to be.
He thought that taking away the money would cause them to turn against each other, but he did notexpect Hylda to get rid of Walter in such a brutal way.
Keegan figured that a person like Hylda would probably lose control and do unimaginable things toStella if she ever found out that Stella was behind everything. So, Keegan got very worried as he toldAldor, “Get several skilled bodyguards to protect my wife. Don’t tell her about it; just do everythingsecretly.”
“Yes, Mr. Kane.”
Three days later, the fishermen out at sea retrieved a suitcase. They opened it and found a bloated anddecaying
corpse inside. They were terrified and immediately contacted the police.
The police arrived at the scene very swiftly.
The body inside the suitcase was already in an advanced state of decay, and it was only wearingunderwear. There were two fatal wounds on the chest. The victim had a rather small build, so it couldbe stuffed into a suitcase.
After collecting the evidence, the police recovered the face of the victim and published it online.
