Chapter 589

Author: Summer Blossom
Elias was about to step out of the door when Nolan received a phone call from the cops.

"Ms. Smith suffered a head injury," he relayed as he paused to listen. "It's not life-threatening, but the problem is that… she's been poisoned. The cops said she was exposed to Devil's Breath. It's a modified compound of Atropine—a lethal powdered neurotoxin."

Yosef's eyes widened in shock when he heard that. He had no idea what Devil's Breath could do, but if the cops were calling it lethal, he figured that it must be extremely dangerous.

Elias also froze in his tracks when he heard those two words. His lips pressed into a hard line as he was well aware of how dangerous that chemical was. It was a silent killer, infamous abroad for its ability to destroy the brain's nervous system.

It earned the nickname Devil's Breath for a reason. Once inhaled, one would drift into eternal bliss painlessly. However, as far as he knew, it was nearly impossible to get this substance in the country due to stri

    Macie didn't believe the authenticity of the image she had received. She even suspected that Alice had photoshopped the screenshot just to put her at ease.Still, she knew that her friend meant well. However, in reality, she wasn't as fragile as Alice thought. Her mental resilience had always been strong.After replying to Alice's message, Macie poured herself a glass of water. As she drank, another memory from the night before suddenly came to mind. When she'd left the banquet hall after delivering the gift, there had been that man who had steadied her by the arm.She thought that he was strange. He'd asked for her name and age. If he had been attempting to hit on her, why would he ask if she had any family? Wouldn't it make more sense to ask which family she belonged to or what her parents' names were?It only struck her how odd those questions were. On top of that, his gaze was sharp. Macie didn't think that the man was hitting on her. If anything, it felt more like an interro

    Mitch froze for a moment before he picked Elias' phone up and started typing as instructed. Who else but Elias would indulge Alice like she was a child? Her request was downright unreasonable and enough to render anyone speechless. However, Elias was probably doing it out of respect for the Hart family. When Mitch thought about it, he realized that Alice had "tormented" Elias the entire day last Saturday, and yet he still spent the whole day with her. Mitch had to admit that Alice was truly fearless. He almost admired her for it. If it had been anyone else, they wouldn't have seen the light of day.After sending the message, Mitch handed Elias' phone back to him. By then, Elias had finished reading the five pages of information and set them down on the desk.His gaze lingered on Macie's face in the photos, from middle school to high school, and finally her college admission details, along with her grades and list of awards. If he had to describe Macie in a single word, it would

    "From now on, try not to go anywhere. Or better yet, quit your job! You've plenty of money anyway," Alice suggested over the phone."I'll be fine. If trouble's meant to find you, it will. I'm not that worried, so you don't need to be so tense, Alice," Maice responded.Macie sounded as calm as ever, but Alice still felt guilty. The latter decided to hang up and confront Elias to obtain some answers. After hanging up, she dialed his number. …Meanwhile, in the study of a hotel suite, Mitch had printed out every piece of information about Macie he could find online. Elias was reviewing it when his phone, which was lying on the table, started ringing. Mitch took a look at it and said, "It's Ms. Hart." He wondered what Alice could possibly want from Elias at this hour.Elias reached over, picked it up, and placed the call on speaker."Elias Hale, what exactly were you trying to find out about Macie tonight?" Alice demanded the moment the call connected. Her tone was anything but po

    Elias was far too suspicious by nature. If Edmund and Mira told him that they'd seen Macie that night, he'd definitely look into it.Tomorrow would be the day. Sharon would donate the money tomorrow and have them act as soon as possible. …The ball ended at 11:00 pm. As the guests dispersed and the lights dimmed, Alice sank into the car seat and grumbled, "I'm so tired! My feet are killing me, and my face feels frozen from smiling too much.""I'll have our housekeeper get you some hot water ready for a foot massage later," Diana said, smiling. "Did you get a chance to talk to Elias again?"Alice responded flatly, "No."After hearing that, Diana was perplexed. "That's strange. He personally invited you to open the dance with him. He knows what that means.""What era are we living in? The opening dance isn't a declaration of love," Alice muttered."Why else would he ask you?" Sean chimed in."How would I know?" As soon as the words rolled off her tongue, she realized that Elias

    "Don't worry. It's all already been taken care of," Raymond said.Sharon then offered him another job, asking if he'd take it. This time, she would pay him 50 million dollars."We'll route it through an angel fund. I'll make the donation, and the money will reach your account legally," she explained.Hearing that astronomical figure, he immediately agreed. But after learning what the job entailed, he suddenly fell silent, clearly shaken.When Sharon heard silence on the other end, she said coldly, "What's wrong? You're brave enough to take the money but not courageous enough to kill?"I'm not asking you to get your hands dirty. Find someone else to do it, pay them a cut, then you can take my money and live abroad."Wouldn't that be better than your current life here? How much wealth can running an orphanage possibly bring you?"Raymond considered her words, thinking that Sharon had a point. His orphanage salary barely covered the essentials.Most directors made ends meet by poc

    After Elias gave his orders and prepared to hang up, Charlie said, "Mr. Hale, we caught Rico. You'll never guess how he managed to evade our dragnet for so long. "The guy had a bunker in the mountains, fully stocked with supplies. He just holed up there and never came out. We only found him using detection equipment and infrared tracking. He really knows how to hide."Hearing that, Elias felt no particular emotion because he desperately needed to know about Macie right now. But then he remembered Rico had tried to abduct her before."Have someone interrogate him. Use whatever means necessary to find out if Sharon revealed any other information to him," he said."What other information?" Charlie asked."Why Macie had to die," Elias said.Charlie understood and responded, "After I get the information, should I tie up the loose ends after this? If the police start suspecting us, we'll be exposed."Mr. Hale, wasn't your original plan to let the trail go cold with Rico and to help M
