He slid his finger over the call button, putting the phone to his ear, intentionally staying silent.
Monica Usher also waited a few seconds before speaking, "Let’s have lunch together."
"Sure."
Three seconds later, both ends hung up simultaneously.
Beside him, Joe showed a relaxed smile, "Even the toughest woman is still under President Ingram’s control."
Lydia Ingram put down her phone, revealing a rare smile. So much had happened recently.
In the apartnt.
Monica Usher stood before the washbasin, gripping a utility knife in her right hand, staring nacingly at her reflection.
The events of last night replayed in her mind, mories she couldn’t cleanse away!
This humiliation made her unbearably uncomfortable!
Extending her left hand, she slashed the back of her left hand deeply with the utility knife, blood imdiately oozing and dripping into the sink.
Pain...
But not as painful as the heart...
After a while, she wrapped the wound with pre-prepared gauze, tying a knot with her teeth.
Monica Usher wasn’t trying to commit suicide; she just wanted a mark to remind herself constantly that this grudge would one day be avenged! She and Lydia Ingram would stand irreconcilable!
Clearwater Bay.
A sedan was slowly driving out, Gigi sat in the passenger seat, wearing a seatbelt, holding a tablet displaying so data.
"Hey, Uncle Finn, are you at the company?" Gigi dialed Finn Morgan’s number.
"Yes, Gigi."
"I’m coming over, already on my way." The little one’s voice was particularly pleasant, "I found evidence of Lydia Ingram’s cris. She colluded with Martin and trafficked a lot of drugs."
"Okay, thank you, Gigi, I’m waiting for you at the company."
The car headed towards the Kingston Group.
Not far from the group, an inconspicuous black sedan had been parked for a long ti, the window half-open, with four n inside, wearing baseball caps, glancing now and then at the lobby entrance.
"Flynn, will the girl co out?" soone questioned, "We’ve been waiting for ten minutes."
"She will." Flynn was confident, "The ssage I sent will intrigue her enough that she will definitely co out if she sees it."
Just then, as soon as he finished speaking, Hailey Hale walked out of the company lobby, her figure entering the n’s view.
"There she is!"
"We’ll wait here for her to co over."
Flynn observed and reminded, "Pay attention to the bodyguards at the entrance, don’t alert them, or it’ll ruin everything."
"Yes, Flynn."
Hailey Hale was very puzzled about who sent her a ssage saying there was a large package with her na on it left by the roadside unattended?
"I haven’t bought anything recently..." she muttered, glancing up to see a large cardboard box indeed placed next to the flower bed not far away.
Was her phone number on it? Her na?
Hailey couldn’t help but quicken her pace, not noticing the car parked beside the box.
anwhile, the car transporting Gigi had just turned a corner and was about to arrive at the Kingston Group’s entrance, Gigi had just put away his tablet, casually glancing out the window, "Hailey?"
The driver stopped the car.
Just as Gigi was about to get out, the car door opened not far away, and two n jumped out, snatching Hailey Hale into the car!
Her mouth was covered, leaving no chance to call for help!
"Quick! Follow them!" Gigi quickly pulled back his leg, closed the door, reacting swiftly, "Hailey is being kidnapped!" With that, he was already dialing Justin Kingston’s number on his phone.
The driver followed the car cautiously.
"Hi, Daddy! Hailey got kidnapped at the company entrance!" Gigi reported nervously, "I’m following them now."
