?Chapter 2022


    "Was this done by a gang? I don''t think so."


    Justin raised his hand and held Be''s fair neck, gently massaging it while nodding in agreement.


    "Ralph, we want to go investigate the crime scene. There might be clues that could save Mr. Storm from this predicament!"


    Be''s phone vibrated. It was a call from Sasha.


    "Aunt Sasha."


    "Be, Elias would never kill anyone! Someone must be framing him!" Sasha''s trembling voice sounded urgent.


    "Aunt Sasha, don''t panic. We''ll definitely continue investigating this." Be''s heart tightened, but she still gentlyforted her.


    Sasha took a deep breath, perhaps overwhelmed by the anxiety, her usual crisp voice turning hoarse." Elias can''t have anything happening to him. Otherwise, if those rebels he''s been suppressing take the opportunity to wreak havoc, Southern Star will fall!"


    Be knew the gravity of the situation.


    People in a gang did not fight their battles in the business field. If they were provoked, they would all go at it with real weapons.


    Since she put the call on speaker, Justin also heard Sasha''s words clearly. He reassured calmly with a fierce gaze, "Aunt Sasha, don''t worry too much. Southern Star will not be in chaos. Ryan has friends in the underworld. If anyone dares to touch a hair on your father''s body, they''ll meet a miserable end."


    "This is my family matter. How could I trouble Mr. Hoffman on this? Besides, he had just enjoyed a few peaceful days with Carrie. What kind of person would I be to cause him trouble now?!"


    Sasha''s voice was filled with pain. "My father could not take the blow and fainted after knowing Elias was arrested. He''s in the emergency room fighting for his life and is still not out of danger.


    "Be... I need to go back to visit him. If necessary, I must hold down the fort at Southern Star. I promised Wyatt I would live quietly as his woman and no longer interfere with the gang''s affairs. But now, it seems ... I would have to break that promise."


    Christopher suffered severe injuries from Oscar''s bite that day and had to get numerous stitches for his ear at the hospital.


    He put great emphasis on his appearance and had a handsome face. But now, he had an ugly scar on his left ear, and the bandages made it look awkward and ridiculous.


    It was the first time he suffered from such humiliation, causing him to smash the VIP ward into a mess under his anger.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    "Did you feed that traitor to the dogs?" Christopher panted as he stood in the middle of the mess, his eyes bulging with hatred.


    "Yes." Taylor felt guilty and quickly added respectfully, "You can trust me."


    "Taylor, do you think the listening device could have something to do with Yvonne?" Christopher suddenly changed the topic, looking at him coldly.


    Taylor''s heart skipped a beat, but he kept calm on the surface. "Mr. Christopher, I know you had been suspecting Ms. Yvonne for a while, and she''s been giving ackluster performance previously. But I investigated it this time, and it really has nothing to do with her."


    At this moment, his phone rang.


    Christopher gritted his teeth and then looked at the caller ID on the screen and tried to calm his breath. He returned to his usual noble demeanor and picked up the call.


    "Mr. Christopher, it''s been done."


    Owen''s deep voice came through. "It''s settled. Since I was on break, I have been following Elias and finally caught an opportunity. Now, he has been detained by the police as a suspect of murder."
