Female Novel
Chapter 842
Thus, Sophia said, “I just called Madam Flintstone and was told that Richard will be paying her a visitlater in the afternoon.”
Her reply apparently surprised John as he asked, “Oh, really? He is going to the FlintstoneResidence?”
Sophia replied, “That’s right, and it doesn’t bode well to you either, does it? Anyway, I’ve been thinkingof a way to do something about it, but since I can’t be involved directly, is there anything you can do toruin the plan?”
John paused for a while and answered, “I’ll see what I can do, so don’t worry. Everything will be fine.As long as Mom doesn’t give in, Richard doesn’t stand a chance at all.”
Although John’s words made sense to Sophia, she still had a bad feeling about how things would playout. Richard is just way too friendly and amiable. I’m afraid it’s only a matter of time that MadamFlintstone falls for him if they keep hanging around with each other. While Sophia was known to act onher emotions rather than rationality, she still hoped that William could rekindle the old flames withMatilda, despite his unpleasant attitude at times. After all, she would love to see a happy ending, inwhich the divorced couple could be back together.
Meanwhile, John appeared to be busy with work, so he didn’t say much until he hung up the call. Hethen put away his phone and turned around, gazing at the warehouse, where the captives were kept. Itseems that we’ve made some positive progress in the past two days. Let’s take a look at who we havehere.
Nevertheless, John patiently stood outside the warehouse until someone came closer and patted his
shoulder. “Long time no see, Mr. Constance. Don’t you have anything you want to say to me?” Uponhearing that voice, John looked back, only to find Roselia behind him. She was dressed in a sexy outfit,and she smiled at John in a seductive manner.
However, the man only responded by knitting his brows. “You ought to be careful about the bank. Nowthat those few people have gone missing, suspicions are bound to be aroused, so please keep a lowprofile.”
Roselia laughed it off as she slipped her hand off John’s shoulder to his arm. “Aw, are you showingyour care for me? Don’t worry about me. I’ll be extra careful.”
Feeling a certain dislike toward Roselia’s flirtatious attitude, John furrowed his brows even more. At thesame time, Roselia waited for the man to respond, shooting a gaze at him before she finally took herhands off him. Then, she hugged herself and stood beside John as she began to speak in a differenttone. “Look, my life would have been poorer if we didn’t meet each other, but at least I wouldn’t have tolive in danger and fear. It really makes me wonder what I’ve done to deserve that from you, John.”
After a short hesitation, John said, “How much do you want this time? I’ll get Zack to take care of it in ajiffy.”
Roselia shifted her gaze to John, slowly revealing a smile. “Why is it that money is the only thing weever talk about every time? Tsk! Tsk!” Nonetheless, she soon changed her tune and said, “Anyway,perhaps there really is no one else who knows me better than you do.” After that, the lady turnedaround and revealed her curvaceous behind, walking away while waving at the man. “I’m leaving first.After all, I’m in a high place now, and I can’t risk blowing my cover being away for too long.”
Meanwhile, John didn’t say anything as he watched Roselia’s figure moving further away before henovelbin
entered the warehouse. The surveillance camera that was dismantled yesterday turns out to be animported product, built to be waterproof and shockproof. Whoever managed to get his hands onsomething so advanced like this one was definitely no ordinary person. Then, John was instantlyamused when the next thought crossed his mind. Although this piece of tech might have a long list ofimpressive features, its specificity is probably going to be its dead giveaway. At least, we can beginwith where it was acquired.
Later that morning, Zack sent a message that detailed his investigation on the device’s origin. Hmm. Itlooks like the GPS system in this thing was specially ordered from overseas. I guess everything willcome to light with a little investigation.
Soon, John entered the warehouse and saw several captives there. While some of them were awake,the rest were either asleep or unconscious. Besides, there was also a person tied to a chair whoseemed to have just taken a terrible beating.
Standing at his spot by the entrance, John instructed one of his men and said, “Bring this person to me.I’d like to have a word with him in private.” As soon as the person was taken out of the warehouse,John was instantly reminded of the time that Sophia came here.
