"Wow! That was quick!"
Jepherson raised his eyes and asked Stuart. Stuart nodded. Jepherson asked, "What was her reaction?"
"She was so mad that she vomited."
"That's disgusting."
Jepherson said. Stuart said, "Yes, it was disgusting."
"Stuart, I suggest you don't go anywhere during this period of time. I'll send someone to protect you and Lucy. I'm sure you know that the Doyle family will seek revenge. You must be careful."
"I understand."
Stuart stepped aside. Raeleigh then asked Jepherson, "What did you do?"
"Nothing."
Jepherson answered casually, but Raeleigh did not believe him.
However, since he did not want to explain, Raeleigh did not continue to ask.
Soon, it was night time. Raeleigh had just fallen asleep when she heard a sound coming from outside. Jepherson turned around to look but did not get up.
Raeleigh wondered who had come to the hospital.
After a while, it was quiet outside the ward. Raeleigh looked at the door for a while, but there was no sound at the door.
At this time, Jepherson got up and went to rest.
Raeleigh asked him, "What happened?"
"Go to sleep."
Jepherson urged. So, Raeleigh went back to sleep.
The next morning, Raeleigh was watching the local news when it reported that a dead body was found in front of Crevor's villa.
Raeleigh recognized the villa on the TV. It was where she and Crevor were locked up.
"Did you do it?"
Jepherson placed the food on the table and was about to feed Raeleigh when he heard her question. He asked, "Do what?"
It was obvious that he did not want to answer her question, so Raeleigh did not ask anymore.
However, the Doyle family suddenly became the most well-known family in Capital City.
Almost everyone in Capital City was talking about them and some even asked the government officials about it.
The government officials would always respond with silent.
Later on, when the matter escalated, someone questioned Jacky's ability to handle matters. The press conference was just held. The purpose of the press conference was to clarify what was going on.
Jacky did not make an appearance. Someone attended on his behalf. However, Jacky's secretary did attend the press conference.
"I'll re-check. The government does not have any details on the case as it has been handed over to the organized crime team. I will hand it over to them to explain."
As a result, the head of the organised crime team explained that the body of the man found in front of the Doyle family's villa was a killer. He was a fugitive on the Interpol list. This made people more panicked.
What did it mean if a killer died in front of the Doyle family's villa?
Was someone hatching a sinister plot against the Doyle family?
How many businessmen were good people? Maybe the man was one of the Doyle's family people.
The Doyle family's stock started to fall drastically as investors scurried to sell their stocks. The Doyle family was also boycotted by the people of Capital City. Even some of the stores were suddenly out of stock.
Crevor frowned as he listened to the report. "What's going on? Don't we have an agreement?" "There is an agreement, but even if we have an agreement, it can't change anything. If they don't answer the phone now, we can't find anyone."
Crevor's assistant explained. Crevor sat in his office chair as he gripped a pen tightly in his hand.
"This is absurd!"
"Mr. Crevor, what should we do now?"
"I need you to tell Madam Geraldine. I'm not in the mood right now, I'm going out to clear my head."
Crevor stood up and left. He cast this matter aside.
"What did you say? He just left?"
Madam Geraldine was so angry that her anger nearly consumed her. She had not recovered from the scare where she opened Jepherson's box of maggots. Now, this.
