Chapter 2181
After pondering for a moment, Logan replied, "I believe Simon will be convicted soon. He has beencooperative, so it won't be hard for the police to close the case. When there's any news on that, I'llcontact you again."
When their conversation ended, they hung up the call.
Ian let out a sigh of relief. Although many things had happened, he felt that he was getting closer to thelife he wanted. He leaned against the chair and fished out his phone to look at the police'sannouncement. novelbin
No specific details had been disclosed. It was said that they had discovered a mildly decayed corpse.The argument was probably intense before Leah's death.
It was said that Simon repeatedly struck her face, so it was apparently not an accident. The policewould likely continue looking into the matter.
Ian had never been on good terms with Simon. He had viciously wished for his misfortune before. Afterall, Simon had become a spoiled brat as Leah always connived at his wrongdoings.
As expected, something terrible happened, and the person who always doted on Simon was the onegetting killed.
When it was finally lunch break, Cindy let out a breath. She was exhausted from getting intimate withIan the night before, and she woke up early in the morning. Therefore, she didn't have much energy todeal with work.
Since it was lunchtime, she decided to go home and get some rest. She quickly picked up her stuff andleft the office. It was her first time leaving the company eagerly while her colleagues were still working.
After going downstairs using the exclusive elevator, she strode out of the lobby. The moment shestepped out of the company, she saw a car on the roadside with the window already lowered. Theperson inside was initially smoking, but when he saw the woman, he hurriedly put out the cigarette. Helooked at her and said, "Get in."
Cindy was surprised to see Gary there. She greeted the man and approached him before asking, "Areyou waiting for Miss Harrison?"
Gary looked her in the eye and replied, "No, I'm here for you."
Noticing the woman's hesitation, he said again, "Get in."
After hesitating for a bit, Cindy opened the door and entered the car.
The moment the door was closed, Gary stepped on the gas pedal before she could even fasten herseat belt. He asked, "What would you like to eat?"
In fact, Cindy didn't want to eat anything. She just wanted to go home and rest.
Considering that Gary must have a reason for visiting her, she hesitated for a while before saying,"Something light."
Gary nodded and drove directly toward a restaurant.
The place wasn't far away from her company, so it didn't take them long to arrive. They remained silentthe entire time.
It wasn't until the waiter led them to a private room that Cindy asked, "Why did you come looking forme, Mr. Frye? What's the matter?"
Gary pulled out a chair and sat down. While taking the menu from the waiter, he said, "Could treatingyou to a meal be considered an important matter?"
Cindy pursed her lips and forced a smile. "I guess so."
Gary chuckled and fell silent. After flipping through the menu, he ordered some food and passed it tothe woman. "Let's order more food."
Cindy only went through it briefly and ordered some light food. She had lost her appetite, to begin with,and Gary had ordered a lot of food already.
After the waiter was gone, Gary asked, "Did Lucy go looking for you after the incident? She talkedabout you when we were having a meal yesterday, so I felt she must have talked to you. I'm not sayingthat she's finding fault with you, but she's usually up to no good."
Cindy didn't mind it. "Yes, she came looking for me and hoped that I could go to her side, but I hadturned her down. I've been happily working under Serena, after all. I don't know if she'll contact meagain over this matter, though."
Gary frowned. "There's something I need to make clear to you so that you know what to do whendealing with her in the future."
