Semua Bab You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone: Bab 261 - Bab 270

"They're just being polite, it's not like they're asking you to report it."Such messages were not received in Apthon before. Every city has its dark secrets, as long as it doesn't surface into the light, only a small number of people are aware of it.However, a few incidents recently occurred in Apthon, particularly a heinous act where a woman was openly assaulted, and some kind of criminal force was involved.This incident had gained nationwide attention, resulting in heightened vigilance. This hotel seemed to be boldly flouting the law.Lucian furrowed his brows. His stern gaze was fixated on Calista. In this moment, the authority and pressure of one in power were vividly displayed by Lucian."If I can investigate, surely others can as well. If they dare to do something like this, they certainly have backers."Calista knew this. Otherwise, she wouldn't have changed her SIM card before making the call. However, she must've been too content with her life, as she had grown compla

Lucian leaned lazily against the wall with his arms crossed. His shirt opened wider with his movements, making the two red marks on his chest glaringly obvious."You're about to turn thirty, or to exaggerate a bit, almost forty. How can you still ask such innocent questions? I'm here because I slept here last night."If Paul was still able to maintain his composure as a gentleman earlier when the door was opened, now his expression had completely changed. His brows furrowed tightly, filled with an indifferent reproach."You took advantage of her?""Could it be that it was mutual consent between us? Paul, back when you refused to help her, you were already out of the picture. You have no chance with her anymore. Your persistence is going to wear off her impression on you during childhood sooner or later."Even though Paul knew what Lucian said only represented his personal opinion, he couldn't control his emotions. He grabbed onto Lucian's open collar, and finally, those glaring re

Calista lifted her head.Behind this street, which was overshadowed by the tourist hotspot, the shops facing the street didn't sell anything particularly appealing.Therefore, foot traffic was scarce. Given the wide street, it was highly unlikely that these two people were blocking her way for any other reason.After holding her breath all day, she finally let it out slowly."Who are you?""Ms. Everhart, our boss would like to meet you."Thanks to that faceless guy, she now associated the word 'boss' with his face."I don't know who you are, and I have no idea who your 'boss' is."After saying this, she turned to leave. The man was about to grab her, but a group of tourists approached from a distance. There were about a dozen people, so he retracted his hand and smiled apologetically."Sorry, I didn't express myself clearly. It's Ms. Simmons who asked us to invite you. She said she and your mother were old friends. Last night, she saw someone who looked somewhat like you at th

Admittedly, he wanted to throw a tantrum.When Calista mentioned her plan to lure the snake to reveal its hiding place last night, he disagreed.However, it seemed this woman wasn't even consulting him for advice at all; she had already made up her mind. She had only informed him for added security.He said he would consider it, but she wasn't willing to wait that long either. Unfortunately, he had an urgent meeting that afternoon and had to leave for a few hours.Never would he have thought that this would be enough time for things to go south at this critical moment.Nevertheless, seeing Calista leaning there weakly, her eyes red and teary as she stared at him, he couldn't bring himself to lash out at her.Lucian pursed his lips. He gulped, reluctantly suppressing his anger.He began coldly, "Have you always been this stubborn?"She was then, and she still is now."If you think there's something fishy about Mom's death, I can very well investigate for you. You didn't need to

David immediately closed his eyes and couldn't care less about the difference in status as he shoved the thing in his hands to Lucian without thinking twice."Oh no, Mr. Northwood, something got into my eyes. It's hurting so much. Can you please check what this is and if it's any useful to you? Please handle it yourself."At this moment, he wished that he was blind. Why was he so unlucky? Why did he have to accept the parcel and open it in front of Mr. Northwood?In the envelope was a photo. The background of the photo was probably a nightclub and its decor must be at least from more than ten years ago.It was so shiny and tacky that anyone who saw it would be blinded. It was a place where the filthy rich would gather.But all these were not important, the most important thing was that the person in the photo was Madam Calista!She was scantily clad and in the embrace of another man. Even though her dress was rather conservative when compared to other skimpy dresses normally seen
