Chapter 399 : Pretending to be trapped
Bruce’s face was tense and he nodded invisibly.
The old Mr. Grant was in a happy mood these past few months, and his body was obviously much stiffer than last year, so he suddenly fainted for no reason. And Old man Zack, his old man eating is the most careful, no reason will be poisoned.
After waiting anxiously for about an hour, Old Mr. Grant was withdrawn from the emergency room and sent directly to the ICU.
Bruce took Lindsey’s hand and found the attending doctor with Jack, asking about Old Mr. Grant and Old man Zack’s condition.
“Allergies, Old Mr. Grant is allergic to crab meat, and Old man Zack is not allowed to eat celery.” The doctor gave the answer and in passing lectured, “Old people are old, they must pay more attention to their diet, fortunately they were sent to the doctor in time, otherwise you would have waited to cry.”
Bruce listened to the lecture with an open mind and exchanged glances with Lindsey without moving. Jack, on the other hand, frowned, and a devouring coldness dripped from his deep, dark eyes.
This is not an accidental incident, but someone’s intention to misbehave.
From the doctor’s office, the three of them went to the lobby on the first floor, waited for Aidan and his wife to arrive, and went directly out of the hospital to the nearby hotel restaurant, and asked for a room for a snack.
Bruce repeated the doctor’s words to Aidan, hanging on the side of his legs hands slowly, slowly, clenched into fists. “Jack has informed the CID and also communicated with Old Mr. Gregor.”
“This matter must be investigated to the end!” Aidan roared furiously, the tightly clenched fist is more sinewy, a chill frosted the crowd.
Old Mr. Grant is so old, although usually not close to people, but rarely with people’s feuds.
This time it is clear that someone is targeting Old Mr. Grant, otherwise how can it be so coincidental that hundreds of people are eating, but it is Old Mr. Grant and Old man Zack two people in trouble.
“There will be results soon.” Jack bit the back of his teeth and said, “I also ate there today, there was no seafood in the dishes served, and I personally tasted every dish that Old Mr. Grant used.”
When this statement was made, everyone coincidentally thought of one person – Kaley.
Since being evicted by Old Mr. Grant, she has been very quiet in Newport for the past few months. Even Burton has been honest, either reading a book in Fragrant Garden or going to the library and sitting there all day.
Bruce’s eyelids jumped and he took out his cell phone in front of everyone and called Cary.
He remembered correctly, Kayden’s treatment will be finished in a few days, listening to Rodolfo’s meaning, it seems to be a complete recovery.
Bruce asked about Kaley’s whereabouts in Newport and about the progress of Kayden’s treatment, his brow furrowing.
After a few minutes of conversation, Bruce ended the call and spoke coldly: “Kayden returned from the plane yesterday morning, accompanied by Dr. Hailie, Rodolfo, and Sangu.”
Aidan’s face changed abruptly, and slammed his fist onto the table. “This thing that doesn’t know how to grow up!”
Lindsey’s face also became ugly, her eyebrows wrinkled into a deep Chuan, biting her lip without saying a word.
After such a long time of calm, what comes will always come.
Jack stayed behind for the night, Lindsey and Bruce went back when it was close to midnight.
The car is heated, it is not cold, but outside the window apparently drizzle, flurry, the whole world seems to be frozen feeling.
Lindsey leaned back in her seat, her eyes unfocused on the night outside the window, and spoke lightly: “Bruce, do you also suspect that grandpa’s allergy is related to the third aunt.”
“It’s either the third aunt or Burton. Grandpa has been upright all his life and has almost no enemies.” Bruce raised his hand and patted her back, smiling bitterly, “Sangu is coming on strong this time, we have to be prepared for it.”
“I know.” Lindsey answered softly and turned her head to discuss with him carefully about dealing with Kayden.
Sophia said he had a superb IQ and was a top-notch actor, and that those looks of madness were just his intention.
What he wants to see most is how Bruce lost to him, so the beginning of the play must be full.
Bruce is also the same meaning, Lindsey’s body, ordinary bodyguards and guards simply can not fight, Kayden will not be able to fight.
Determine a good plan, Lindsey can not help but let out a long sigh.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
If Old Mr. Grant is gone, the next step will be their turn and Bruce’s, Kaley’s purpose has been clearly revealed, it is clear that she is in this matter, is not dead.
At the same time in Fragrant Garden, Kaley stood in front of the window, holding a glass of red wine in her hand, and tasting it comfortably.
No one from The Grant family called, indicating that Old Mr. Grant’s condition was not too serious. But with Bruce and Aidan’s intelligence, they probably already guessed that the incident was their own doing.
In fact, she did do it, so what.
All the links that will arouse suspicion, she has repeatedly thought about, try not to leave the slightest leverage. This time, she wanted to see who would die.
“Mom, my men are ready to strike as soon as Old Mr. Grant is released from the hospital.” Burton lit a cigarette, crossed his legs, and exhaled a thick mist: “Once Lindsey is captured, Bruce will be in a state of confusion.”
“You did a good job this time.” Kaley complimented him, tilted his head and drank the wine in the glass, and went upstairs.
It’s all about the chaos, otherwise how would she have a chance …
Early the next morning, Lindsey finished feeding the older and younger babies and immediately rushed to the hospital with Bruce.
When the two arrived, Charlotte and Mack also happened to have just arrived. They nodded to each other and got into the elevator together.
After visiting Old man Zack, a nurse came over to inform them that Old Mr. Grant had been transferred to the high tech ward and asked them to go there immediately.
The crowd said goodbye to Old man Zack and ran to Old Mr. Grant’s ward with anxious faces.
Jack was waiting outside the door, waiting for them to get close before he lowered his voice and said, “He just fell asleep, it will take him an hour to wake up, the doctor said to take some time to recuperate, the problem is not serious.”
Lindsey was relieved to see that Jack had serious dark circles under his eyes, so he urged him to hurry back to rest.
Charlotte saw this also advised him, and also solemnly thanked him.
“I’ve arranged for people to be around, so you guys take extra care too.” Jack tiredly hit a containing lead, reluctantly turned around.
Everyone did not say anything, silently watched Jack’s back disappear.
A short while later, Mr. and Mrs. Aidan arrived and felt relieved to learn that Old Mr. Grant had turned out to be safe.
After sitting in the living room for a few moments, Bruce spoke calmly: “I’ll keep watch here today, and tomorrow I’ll switch to my brother-in-law, so you two don’t have to come to the vigil since you have to take care of the kids.”
Everyone was fine with this proposal, so it was settled.
On the afternoon of the fourth day, Old Mr. Grant was able to get out of bed, and Lindsey helped him walk around the corridor and dragged him back to the hospital room when it was about time.
Bruce had a dinner party in the evening and could not come over until after 9:00 p. m. Lindsey stayed with Old Mr. Grant for dinner, saw him off to sleep, gave a few words to the guard and went downstairs alone.
The weather has been clear for the past two days, but the temperature at night is still freezing. After standing in the parking lot for a while, Hailie’s car slowly came into view.
Lindsey looked around warily, took two steps back and waited for her to stop the car.
In a few moments, Hailie got out of the car, before she could speak, she felt a blackness in front of her eyes, and immediately lost consciousness.
Lindsey watched her fall, the corners of her lips raised in a strange curve.
Kayden finally struck again.
When I woke up again, there was no light in the darkness around me, and the bag of the blindfold hurt my head. In the large space, in addition to the sound of their own breathing, you can occasionally hear a groan or two.
The first thing you need to do is to listen carefully, Lindsey and listen carefully for a while, intuitively this room in addition to yourself, there should be a person. And this person is no one else, is Hailie.
Recalling the scene before she fainted, Lindsey pretended to be angry, but unfortunately her hands were tied and she could not move a bit.
Struggling for a while, Lindsey stopped moving and tentatively called out, “Dr. Hailie, is that you.”
The room was silent for a second, and then Hailie’s voice suddenly came to her ears with a sobbing voice. “It’s me, where are we.”
Lindsey sneered, but the room was too dark, and there was no sound outside, so there was no way to tell if her words were true or not.
The first thing you need to do is to try to move your feet, but you’ll find that they seem to have chains on them, and when you move, there’s an ear-splitting sound of metal on metal.
The rustling and movement stopped, Lindsey bristled and said unhappily, “I don’t know where this is.”
“I’m sorry, I was going to inform you to be careful, but I didn’t expect to get you involved instead.” Hailie was frightened, she knew Lindsey’s ability, and if she wanted to escape, the only person she could rely on was her.
Lindsey snorted lightly and didn’t answer.
The phone call a few months ago, when she was analyzing with Bruce, Hailie was intentionally reminded to be safe, now look at it simply want to laugh at their own face.
The people who can get involved with Kaley, there can be any good people.
In the silence, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside, the light at first bright.
Lindsey was wearing a blindfold and didn’t feel that the sun was rising outside. When she heard the door open, she reflexively looked in the direction of the sound and tried to see: “Kayden, you’re here.”
“We meet again.” Kayden hands clasped chest, thin lips stored a reckless smile, deep eyes evil and eerie. “It’s been almost a year since we’ve seen each other, and you don’t miss me at all.”
Lindsey laughed as her mind wandered. “If you saw me this way every time, I would miss you even more.”
“It’s not a good way, but it’s good enough that the result is good.” Kayden curled her lips and smiled deeply. “How’s that for a meet and greet I got for you, isn’t that exciting.”
Lindsey looked away, not wanting to face him even if she couldn’t see.
“Oh …” Kayden laughed, lifted his feet and walked into the room, slowly stopping to Hailie’s side and squatting down to help her untie the ropes from her body. “Compliments of Dr. Hailie, I thought you would struggle a little, disappointed.”
Hailie bit her lower lip together in a death grip and said nothing.
She knew he had been pretending, but Rodolfo didn’t believe him, otherwise he wouldn’t have left Newport so smoothly.
Of course, the most crucial thing is that even if he left, he would not have contact with Kaley.
Unfortunately, she didn’t count on Kayden’s acting skills, which are more than a movie star.
He not only cheated Rodolfo, but also cheated Kaley.
Kaley’s request to himself was to help capture Lindsey and get her stake in the company. After he didn’t agree, he turned to Kayden, remembering that Kayden agreed at the time, not expecting such a move behind the scenes.
