Chapter 110
Barron sighed deeply and sat on a chair at the side. He began to talk to himself. He thought that the man on the bed had already fallen asleep.
"I don't know if I made the wrong decision for you. Four years ago, I forced you marry Valeria. You agreed on the surface, but you were filled with resentment. I could tell, but I always felt that after spending more time with her, you would fall in love with Valeria. She's a good kid... Now that I think about it, the current situation became like this because of me. A friend of mine said that Valeria would bring good luck to you and could guarantee your safety. I still believe it without a doubt, but... Well. Barron immersed himself in his own world and muttered to himself.
On the bed, Hackett's back was facing him, but he slowly opencil his dark eyes...
It turned out that his grandpa had forced him to marry Valeria for such a ridiculous reason.
Just because a friend of his said that she could bring him good luck?
What a joke.
If Valeria found out, she would probably be even angrier. She might even didn't want to talk to Barron
Barron didn't know how long he had been sitting in front of the bed. He got up and left the ward.
As soon as he closed the door, Hackett sat up from the bed with a gloomy expression. The thought of Valeria going on a blind date made him angry.
What kind of man was worthy of her going on a blind date?
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Tyler's voice came from outside. "Mr. James, are
you
awake?"
"Come in." His face was filled with frustration.
After Tyler entered the ward, he went straight to the point. "Mr. James, I found the relevant personnel at the celebration banquet in Conshire City back then, including some retired people."
Hackett looked up at Tyler and asked anxiously, "Where are they?"
"Because I found them secretly, I gathered them in the manor. My suggestion is that we go back and interrogate them now. It shouldn't take too long for you."
After all, it was unrealistic to call all those people to the hospital
Hackett lifted the blanket on his body immediately, got up, and walked out of the ward. As he walked, he instructed, "Remember, don't let anyone know about this" "Okay"
He and Tyler walked along the hospital corridor. It was late at night, and only their low footsteps could be heard.
Cheryl thought for a long time in the ward and felt that she should come to Hackett to explain again. She could not arouse his suspicion. Although it was already ruthless enough to cut her face with a knife, she still had to be careful. As soon as she walked out of the ward, she saw Hackett's back in the corridor.
Where was he going now?
Fri, Nov 8
Cheryl could not help but step forward to stop him. "Hackett! Where are you going again? You can't run around anymore
Upon hearing her voice, Hackett closed his eyes in frustration and glanced at Tyler. "Till leave it to you. I'll give you ten minutes. Don't let her follow us,"
"Okay."

Cheryl wanted to chase after him, but Tyler stretched out his arm and blocked her way.
"What are you doing? Get out of the way!" Cheryl looked at the arm in front of her. She watched the man leave anxiously.
Tyler stopped her again and dragged her back to the waril. "Ms. Yeats, please stay in the ward and don't run around."
"What right do you have to stop me? I'm going to look for Hackett. Where did he go? He just returned to the hospital. Why is he going out now? Doesn't he know that he needs to rest?"
Cheryl was about to rush out of the ward. However, Tyler forced her back to bed. "Ms. Yeats, Mr. James knows what he's doing. This time, I'll be with him. And I'll make sure he returns to the hospital ort time. Don't worry." With that. Tyler left the room and ordered his two buddies to stay outside and not let Cheryl leave.
"Tyler! What right do you have to lock me up!
Cheryl wanted to walk out of the ward, but she was stopped by two bodyguards.
In the James Manor, the car slowly stopped in front of the villa. Earnest came out to greet them.
Tyler got out of the car and opened the door. Hackett walked out of the car and straight into the villa with a black coat draped over his shoulders.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
"Is everyone here?"
"Yes. They had been waiting for two hours. Many people wanted to leave early, but I stopped them." The butler followed behind him. Hackett walked into the living room and found a circle of various people.
All of them looked miserable. They did not know what had happened. They had been gathered here but could not see Hackett for hours. "We're not imprisoned, are we? Why did they call us all the way here?
"I heard that they're investigating the celebration banquet back then. I feel like I've almost forgotten about it. What are they investigating?" "Who knows? I wonder when Hackett will arrive. I'm about to doze off."
The people who had been called over whispered.
Suddenly, Hackett walked into the living room. When they heard footsteps, everyone looked up at the same time.
Tyler followed behind him and said, "This is Mr. James. He has something to ask you today. Just answer truthfully. Then you can directly go to the butler to get your thank you' reward."
Upon hearing the words "thank you' reward, everyone immediately perked up. At least this trip was not i get the money by answering the questions
vain. They could
Hackett observed the people in front of him. He had long forgotten about the celebration banquet in Conshire City four years ago. He had no impression of these people. Chapter 110
"For the celebration banquet four years ago, tell me as much as you remember and my
swer questions truthfully."
"Yes, yes, yes. Mr. James, please ask. We will answer anything we know." One of the men nodded and bowed respectfully.
Hackett narrowed his eyes and examined the man in front of him. "You are...
"Mr. James, I'm the manager of the hotel that you stayed back then. Although I'mgot anymore, I was at the celebration. banquet back then."
"Then do you remember who was with me when I left?"
He only wanted to know how he had returned to his room, who had helped him back, and why Valeria and Cheryl had appeared in his room.
"I don't remember, but I remember you were very drunk. I think it was a man who helped you out of the banquet. Yes, it was your bodyguard." The bodyguard helped him leave, really?
"Where's the bodyguard?" Hackett scanned the crowd. Everything would be clear as long as the bodyguard was here.
Unexpectedly, Tyler leaned close to his ear. "The bodyguard on duty resigned after that and became someone else's bodyguard. Unfortunately, he was shot and died: Hackey asked again, "Did you pass by my room in the corridor that night and see who entered my
room?"
