I Saved A Mystery Billionaireac novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14 Caught by Colbert on the Spot

Eudora couldn't think of anyone who would save a murderer, except for the Baldwin family.

But who would've guessed that they saved him only to kill him!

She should have seen it coming. With the Baldwin family's treacherous nature, it was an easy choice to take one's life.

Now, she had not only lost the final clue, but her investigation had also been discovered by the Baldwin family. If the Baldwin family found out that she knew the truth, would she be the next one to die?

The sudden news made her heart race, and her nerves remained on edge for a long time.

But no matter what, she alone had to bear the consequences. She couldn't let her foster parents know.

After her three-day 'vacation', she returned to work.

To avoid being noticed by the Baldwin family, Eudora split her time between her job and visiting her foster mother in the hospital, trying not to show up in front of the Baldwin family.

She also followed her doctor's advice, refraining from drinking alcohol and taking appropriate rests for a month.

In secret, she spent a considerable amount of money hiring another private detective to investigate her foster parents' car accident.

A month passed quietly in this way.

She found time to go to the hospital for a re-examination, and the results showed everything was fine.

After Eudora left the hospital, Colbert received a call from the hospital. "Mr. Steele, Ms. Stanford has had an ultrasound. The fetus is over two months along and is developing very well."

"But didn't she show signs of a miscarriage? Will the daily food deliveries affect her?" Colbert asked.

"Ms. Stanford gets a lot of exercise from her work so she has a strong body, not as fragile as most pregnant women."

"I see."

He thought that Eudora's busy work schedule would affect her unborn child, but it turned out to be the opposite.

Philomel Club.

As the night grew late, the Philomel Club started to fill up. Under the colorful lights, the weary young men and women, drained from their jobs, indulged themselves. Some swayed their bodies on the dance floor while others got drunk at the tables.

Seeing this, Eudora couldn't help but feel a pang. If the Baldwin family hadn't intentionally framed her foster parents, she would have used her money to open a bar or a supermarket in her hometown and lived a simple and peaceful life.

At around 10 pm, just when Eudora was laying low in a corner, the intercom rang. "Eudora, Eudora, come to the men's bathroom quickly. Mr. Burke is asking for you, he's puking everywhere."

"Men's bathroom? Why would I, a woman, go to the men's bathroom?"

Eudora pressed the intercom and retorted disdainfully.

"Oh, Eudora, come quickly. Mr. Burke specifically asked for you. Don't worry, there's nobody in the men's bathroom now." Hugh, knowing Eudora's concerns, reassured her.

"It's Chasel Burke again! Okay, okay, I'm coming."

After saying this, Eudora clipped the intercom onto her belt and headed toward the public restroom.

As she walked toward the men's bathroom, a few security guards greeted her, "Hurry up and check on Mr. Burke. He's not leaving the toilet."

"Your name was specifically mentioned."

"Hehe, Eudora, you better grab this chance. Maybe you are able to change your destiny."

...

Hearing the guards' teasing, Eudora gave Hugh a kick. "Are you looking down on me?"

"Oops, I shouldn't have said that."

Hugh gave an awkward smile. "I know you don't need luck."

"Stop bluffing." Eudora waved her hand. "Do your rounds at the bar, or the manager might accuse us of slacking off."

Eudora walked into the men's room and found that the first stall door was ajar. As she walked by, she saw Chasel sitting on the toilet, incessantly vomiting into the trash can.

Chasel, the second son of the Burke family from Kenison City, despite his good looks, was known for being a good-for-nothing trust fund baby. He was a notorious playboy.
