She Is A CEO

Chapter 1193 Finding Clues

"Don't bother looking. He is the only man Lucia loves!" Victor sneered unkindly, as if providing a clue was not a big deal! Dan withdrew his gaze and cast a sidelong glance at Victor, then stepped forward without hesitation, ignoring his words. Victor took a sip and followed along.

In the room, Arthur took a bath and lay in bed. Although his rational mind told him that resting would be good for his body and he needed to conserve his energy to rescue Lucia after finding her whereabouts, his eyes seemed to have a will of their own and couldn't close no matter what.

How was Lucia doing now?

Lying on his side and looking out the window at the mottled shadows of palm trees projected inside, Arthur's thoughts never left Lucia for a second.

If Lucia got hurt in any way...

Arthur's eyes grow deeper in the dark, and he didn't mind executing Jacob himself against Lucia's wishes!

At this moment, Kyle and others were conducting a rigorous interrogation of the ship owner.

The owner of the boat was a man of nearly 30 years old, with cold and disobedient expression. Even if he was tied on the deck and stripped naked to blow cold wind by Nick, he kept his mouth shut. Originally, Nick didn't want to use violence, but seeing him like this made Nick furious. Before long, he punched the ship owner and half an hour later the man's face was completely injured.

"What to do? He won't say anything!" Nick had interrogated countless people and naturally knew that some people were stubborn. No wonder Jacob was relieved to leave him here as a last resort. Kane and his team gathered together to discuss.

"I had a few conversations with him before and noticed that his accent is a bit strange... It's almost like he just came back from overseas," Kane said as he pondered.

"So you're saying he must have been one of those thugs that Jacob was struggling with back in the USA! No wonder he's so loyal to him," Kyle immediately said.

"At first, Sage and Leon were also wholeheartedly with Jacob, if it weren't for later..."

At this point, his eyes lit up and he clapped his hands, laughing, "Got it!"

"What's up?" Gene asked.

"The reason this man is still loyal to Jacob is because he doesn't know what Jacob has been up to lately. If we tell him about Jacob's actions, especially towards his subordinates, it will surely make him speak!" Kyle explained excitedly.

"This requires the help of Sage and Leon," Kane also quickly understood.

"Yes," Kyle agreed, but then he deflated and said, "But even if we can get them in touch, we'll have to wait until tomorrow..."

The same sighs flowed out of everyone's mouths, and Kyle turned to look at the gloomy sea, saying helplessly, "I don't know how Mr. Davies will get through tonight... and what about Ms. Webb..." This night was really exceptionally long...

Arthur had kept his eyes open all night and finally saw a glimmer of light on the horizon. He immediately sat up in bed and walked into the bathroom. Inside, he could see that his bed from last night was exceptionally neat with only one person-shaped indentation on it. The sheets weren't even fully spread out. Last night, Arthur had lain there motionless in that position, waiting for the dawn's light.

After taking a cold shower to wake himself up completely, Arthur forced all of his nerves to stay active. When he finished washing up and came out of the bathroom, he immediately contacted Kyle who excitedly told him about everyone's discovery. However, when Arthur heard this news for the first time from Kyle, instead of praising him, he scolded him, "Why didn't you tell me this news right away last night?!" Kyle said with grievance, "Mr. Davies... it was already very late yesterday. Even if I told you, then we would have had to wait until daylight anyway... besides... we all hoped that you could rest well..."

It wasn't until hearing this that Arthur suppressed his anger and coldly reprimanded him, "If there is any other discovery again, whether it is day or night, tell me immediately!"

Kane also heard Arthur's angry voice coming through Kyle's phone nearby. He patted Kyle on the shoulder before answering for him, "Arthur, don't be angry anymore. Kyle meant well. What matters now is Sage and them..."

"I'll arrange it right away," replied Arthur before hanging up.

Kane said to Kyle, "Alright then. Stop feeling wronged now because he can't sleep but just wants Lucia's news as soon as possible."

Kyle nodded understandingly since he knew what Kane meant.

At six-thirty in the morning sharp, since every minute counted, Arthur called Miles who picked up after only one ringtone indicating how restless Miles must have been too.

After listening to what Arthur had said over the phone call, Miles quickly informed Libby before leaving with people without any objections raised by her side. Libby knew her husband was trying hard to make amends for their mistakes.

Although Miles arrived early at police station with people accompanying them, it still took some effort getting Sage and Leon connected outside world. However, Miles patiently persisted throughout morning hours until finally seeing Sage and Leon around nine o'clock. Then, Miles told them what needed doing next.

Sage and Leon were both wearing prison uniforms now, and their previously dyed hair had been shaved off. However, they looked much more spirited than before.

When Miles told Leon that Jacob had buried someone along the coast, he suddenly realized something,© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"That's why Max didn't come back with us! Jacob assigned him this task!"

"Mr. Wood, you don't know the whole story," Sage explained to Miles. "This man's name is Max. When we were in Mexico, we got into a conflict with some locals. Jacob saved him from being stabbed and although he wasn't seriously injured, Max is very grateful to him. That's why Jacob trusted him with such an important job."

Upon hearing this, Miles became worried, "Can you convince him?"

"Of course," Leon said confidently. "Max does owe Jacob a debt of gratitude but he has been working with me since we were kids. I just need to explain the situation to him." "Well then let's not wait any longer!" Arthur was getting impatient so Miles quickly pulled out his phone and called Kyle.

As soon as Kyle received Miles' call all the way on the coast, he became excited and instructed them to wait for a moment before putting his phone on speakerphone in front of Max, "You have an acquaintance who wants to talk to you."

An acquaintance? After sitting alone all night long with his head downcasted in despair, Max lifted up his head when he heard Kyle say that familiar voice over the phone, "Max? Is it really you?"

"Leon!" Despite having swollen eyelids from beating already, there was still light shining through Max's eyes at that moment.
