Female Novel
Chapter 534 Mysterious Person
“He won’t see me?” Lyndall frowned and was disappointed in the hotel suite.
He came over on the invitation of Charlie but his intention was mainly to meet Jack. To him, he had
everything to gain by getting along with Jack. He had already shown Jack his attitude towards
Katherine and her mother. What they did truly crossed his red line.
He came this time to try to break the ice but he was set up by ZF at the Plum Bar and stalled his
progress with Jack. Had he not reacted fast enough, the misunderstanding between Jack and himnovelbin
might have deepened to a point of no return.
Before the day broke, Lyndall had already sent Willy to invite Jack. But the refusal frustrated him.
“Boss, I didn’t get to see Jack and only managed to see that elderly servant.” Willy frowned as he
reported, “The elderly servant must have known about the conflict between Jack and you and hence
rejected your invitation.”
Lyndall grinned bitterly, “Go again, you must get to see Jack.”
“Is that necessary? If he was willing to see us, he wouldn’t send his elderly servant to meet me.” Willy
frowned.
Lyndall looked at Willy and smiled, “He is an intelligent man. He can tell from our actions last night what
had happened. We are here not for last night but to get acquainted with Jack.”
Willy nodded and turned to leave.
Lyndall became solemn and looked at the scenery outside and mumbled, “Haven’t you gotten over
what happened?” Though Lyndall’s actions during Katherine’s mother’s incident were decisive, he
remained concerned that it would incur the wrath of Jack. He remained troubled for a long time before
he could relax.
After that, he realized that his situation with Jack was not that dire and that was why he decided to try
to get acquainted with Jack.
He stretched his back before leaving the room and headed to the restaurant for breakfast.
It was still early and the restaurant was filled with people who just woke up. Lyndall picked a few
servings from the buffet spread and took a seat at the table.
As he was eating, an elderly man in a black trench coat and baseball cap sat opposite Lyndall. Lyndall
was surprised and looked around. There were other available seats and there was no need for the
stranger to sit with him. He looked at the old man and continued with his breakfast.
The elderly man ate quickly and was vastly faster than Lyndall. Very soon, the elderly man finished and
left.
Lyndall grinned and then noticed that the elderly man had forgotten to take his wallet. Lyndall turned to
call out to the elderly man but he had already left the restaurant. Lyndall quickly wiped his mouth,
grabbed the wallet, and chased after him.
At the hotel rooftop. The autumn wind was blowing and the air was cool and refreshing.
When Lyndall rushed to the rooftop, the elderly man was looking afar at the scenery. The elderly man
did not react even when Lyndall pushed open the metal door loudly.
Thud!
Lyndall noticed something was amiss and his left hand smacked the wallet and grinned. He then threw
the wallet at the elderly man’s feet and turned to leave.
“You’re leaving just like that?” The elderly man called out to Lyndall.
Lyndall didn’t turn back and just said, “I’ve wasted my efforts. I already saw that you were wearing a
facial disguise and now even your voice is faked. In the end, I was fooled by your worthless wallet to
come over here.”
“Ha! You’re truly observant!” The elderly man slowly turned and the old man grinned while looking at
Lyndall’s back, “You could even see through my disguise. Your eyes are indeed sharp!”
“After so many years in my sector, I’ve seen enough of disguises.” Lyndall was calm but did not turn
around, “But your disguise is the best in all that I had encountered. Initially, I couldn’t be sure but I
realized it as soon as I followed you here.”
“Why don’t you ask me why I lured you here?” The elderly man’s voice was raspy and labored.
“Rape me?” Lyndall laughed.
The elderly man was speechless.
“So long, old man!” Lyndall raised his right hand, waved, and was about to leave.
The elderly man said something that froze Lyndall causing him to freeze in position, “Someone wants
to kill you!”
“Many people want me dead.” Lyndall narrowed his eyes and smiled, “But most of them had been killed
by me.”
“It’s different this time.” The elderly man shook his head, “You’ve offended someone that you shouldn’t.
The person behind Charliewants to kill you.”
Lyndall’s grin finally waned and then disappeared. He slowly turned around and looked at the elderly
man, “Who is behind Charlie?”
When Charlie was setting up HT real estate agency, he had repeatedly wanted Lyndall to join him and
had said that he had some strong backing. But Charlie was secretive as to who that person was. Even
when Lyndall tasked Willy to investigate, he could not find out the identity of that mysterious person.
But now… it was time to find out!
“He is someone that you can’t afford to offend.” The elderly man said.
Lyndall became agitated as he said, “You lured me here to warn me this and now you won’t even tell
me who he is. Is this a joke?”
“I see that you are a talent for greater things, that’s why I wanted to warn you.” The elderly man turned
and continued to look at the scenery. He continued to mumble but reminded Lyndall, “Actually Jack is a
great person, principled and honorable. Don’t think that Charlie is worth your efforts.”
Jack? Now this elderly man caught his attention. He looked at the elderly man and then asked sternly,
“Who the hell are you?”
“I’m your father!”
Lyndall’s expression turned furious.
The old man turned and grinned, “You can accuse me of trying to rape you, and now can’t I say that
you are my son?” An eye for an eye!
“Petty!” Lyndall turned to leave. But the appearance of this elderly man had triggered him and now he
was unsettled and couldn’t calm down.
Back at the hotel suite. Lyndall continued to frown in frustration and smoked a cigarette as he sat by
the window, “Who the hell is behind Charlie?”
He had crawled out of the graves when he fought his way up in LD city. Lyndall had been used to
fighting a way out when the circumstances were dire. He was no stranger to attempts to kill him. But he
had to take the threat of Charlie’s supporter seriously. A person, who could so quickly pushed Charlie
up and backed HT real estate agency with billions of yuan to compete with the city’s real estate leaders
Aiden and Drago, was no one to be trifled with. Such a person definitely caught Lyndall’s attention!
In the quiet room, the smoke from Lyndall’s cigarette had lingered and the ash hung precariously from
the smothering cigarette.
Knock knock!
Suddenly knocks on the door caught his attention. Lyndall came to his senses and flinched, causing
the ash on his cigarette to finally fell onto the carpet…
