I’m Someone Else

Chapter 71

“What’s the grudge between you and the Hind Family? Tell me about it. If it’s nothing major, I’ll talk to them about it. I’m sure they’ll be willing to drop it on my account.”

Quincy wasn’t exaggerating. The Hind Family was trying to win him over and had even invited him to Drake’s funeral. Nevertheless, Quincy thought Drake had it coming from him. He heard about Drake’s heinous deeds, though he didn’t expect Drake to die at such a young age at the hands of another. The despicable ones do indeed get what’s coming for them.

Thomas shook his head. “It’s not a minor issue. Accurately speaking, you could say it’s a blood feud.”

“A blood feud?” Quincy frowned in thought for a moment before it dawned on him. “Wait a minute. Thomas, are you telling me that you’re the one who killed Drake Hind?”

“That’s right. I killed him,” Thomas readily admitted. “I even did it in front of Blake and Jake Hind!”

“What?!” Thomas’ jaw dropped. He couldn’t believe the fact that Thomas had killed Drake right in front of Blake and Jake! Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Drake was Jake’s son!

Both Blake and Jake were merciless men who could make all of Irieson shake at the drop of a hat. Blake learned martial arts ever since he was a child and was once the top martial arts expert in all of Irieson. Thomas killed his nephew right in front of him… My, my. How powerful does that make Thomas then?

That explains it. That explains why they created the explosion to take his life.

“Why did you do it?” Quincy asked.

Thomas gave Quincy a brief summary, and Quincy was surprised by the sacrifices Thomas was willing to make for Olivia’s sake.

Even though you’re her driver, it doesn’t mean you need to go to such lengths, right?

“Have you fallen in love with Olivia?” After considering all the possibilities, Quincy thought love was the only explanation for such behavior. Thomas… Of all people you could love, you shouldn’t fall in love with Olivia! Her fate was set at her birth! You’ll only be damning yourself if you fall in love with her!

Quincy knew that the Pearsons would never agree to the relationship. Olivia bore the weight of the entire Pearson Family on her shoulders.

Thomas was startled. “What are you talking about, Dr. Hofstead?” What kind of dramatic love story is he cooking up inside his mind? I only saved Olivia because she’s my friend. I don’t want to see a repeat of what happened to Zachary. That’s all. What does love have got to do with it?

“I’m not trying to scare you, Thomas, but you can fall in love with anyone except for Olivia. How’s this? Let me introduce you to a few young women. They’re all beautiful ladies from respectable families.”

Quincy gave Thomas a long speech to warn him off. Even though Olivia was a beautiful woman with an elite background, she still wasn’t a good choice. Bad luck would befall those who ended up with her.

“Don’t worry,” Thomas said with a weak chuckle. “I won’t fall in love with Olivia.”

Since Thomas seemed pretty serious about what he just said, Quincy was somewhat appeased. He was certain that a handsome young man like Thomas with such genius talents in medicine would surely soar to great heights if the right chance was provided to him. When the time comes, he won’t have a problem finding a girlfriend!

This won’t do. I need to hurry up and help him find a girlfriend. It’ll help me get closer to him too.

Over at Hind Residence, Blake and Jake were sitting on the couch and looking at the masked man in front of them.

“A kind-hearted soul uploaded the video of the explosion to the Internet. Have you seen it yet?” The masked man had a slightly husky voice.

“We did!” Jake nodded. He nearly jumped for joy when he saw the video.

It would take a miracle for Thomas Clifford to survive such a large explosion.

Thomas Clifford, you f*cker! You’re just a stinking driver without any background. How dare you go up against the Hinds? Who the f*ck do you think you are? See how easy it was for me to kill you? How dare you kill my son?! Just you wait, f*cker. This isn’t over yet. You have a godsister that you’re very close to, don’t you? She’ll be joining you in hell soon enough! I wouldn’t want you to be lonely down there!

The masked man nodded and looked at Jake.

Jake got up to get the money. Soon, he came back with a bank card.

“Here’s the 30 million you asked for. It’s in this bank account. The password’s six ones.”

The masked man checked the bank card and nodded before turning to leave.

“Gasp!”

As soon as the masked man turned around, he was stabbed in the heart with a dagger.

“You…” The masked man had a look of disbelief when he saw the tip of the dagger sticking out of his chest. They were killing him to silence him!

Jake pulled the dagger back out and the masked man slumped to the ground.

“Come and deal with it!” Jake got the servants to drag the body out.

Jake was a smart man. The Hinds and the Pearsons were in an antagonistic relationship right now. If word got out that they were the ones behind the explosion, the Pearsons would undoubtedly try to get their revenge. Even though they killed Thomas, it was Olivia’s car that exploded! There was no telling how the Pearsons would interpret that information.

Therefore, they couldn’t let this hitman walk away with his life!

Only the dead could keep a secret!

The Hinds promised the masked man a payment of 30 million in exchange for Thomas’ life!

It had to be said that the Hinds did not take Thomas lightly.

Hitmen had their own professional code to follow, and one was to never divulge their client’s information, even with their life on the line. This was the most basic principle in their line of work. None of the hitmen could survive if they failed to follow this rule. The other hitmen would take him out.

However, the Hinds didn’t think that was enough. They didn’t care about the hitmen’s rules. In their eyes, the masked man was still an outsider, and considering what he knew, he couldn’t be allowed to remain alive.

The Hinds rose to their current glory at the expense of the blood of others. They knew nothing of rules, principles, or trust. Nothing but viciousness and ruthlessness ran in their blood!

Jake picked up the bank card and guffawed. “See that, Blake? We didn’t even need to spend any money to kill that b*stard Thomas Clifford. We came out on top this time!”

Blake nodded happily. 30 million was nothing to the Hinds, so he didn’t care much about the money. He was pleased by the fact that Thomas was dead! The guy who killed his nephew and humiliated him was dead!

The night passed in peace. The next morning, Thomas gave Sean a call.

“Hi, Thomas. What’s up?” Sean had been in the middle of breakfast when he got the call. He swallowed his mouthful of cereal and answered his phone.

“Hey… You said you wanted to give me a car a while back. Can you… lend it to me for a couple of days?” Thomas felt a little embarrassed.

“Why would I need to lend it to you, Thomas? I said I was giving it to you and I meant it! Hang on. I’ll bring it over to you right away.”
