My Fair Stunner novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144 A Loyal Stooge

When Colin and Faye showed up in the living room, York was standing up straight there. The blisters on his hands had been applied with ointment, but hadn't been bandaged and looked rather horrifying. York greeted Colin and Faye, and said without much emotion, "There is an emergency at home. Old Mr. Farrell asks you and Mrs. Farrell to go back home." "What's the emergency?" Colin asked.

"I can't tell you. You have to go back first."

Colin stepped forward and glanced at York's face. "York, don't think you can be safe and sound with my grandpa's support." York apologized respectfully but still remained calm. Colin uttered a snorting laugh. "I bet you won't outlive this month." The smile froze on York's face. After a while of silence, he spoke, "Jared died." "What?" Colin frowned. "The old man in Conda Area, Jared Sander, is dead," York continued. Colin turned around to look at Faye, who seemed to be calm. She exchanged glances with him and said with a smile, "For the sake of Old Mr. Farrell, we can go back." "OK," Colin said with a calm voice. Colin took Faye on the way to the Farrells' house, following York's car. He tilted his head to Faye. "Are you alright?" "I'm fine," Faye said. "If I tell you I've predicted this before, do you believe me?" Faye said, trying to relieve Colin of his worries. "I do," Colin said. Faye took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Doing away with the witness is the most traditional way to cleanse the murderer." "But they can't kill all the witnesses," Colin said with a grim smile. "I didn't want to hurt the old man but he died because of me." "Do you feel sorry for him?" Colin asked. "No." A sneering smile hung from Faye's face. She thought, "All insiders are accomplices and have caused my parents' death. How can I hold compassion toward those murderers? I'm not that kind of people who return good for evil." When they were near the Farrells' house, Faye spoke, "You had a quarrel with them yesterday. Try not to lose your temper today." "So what? What can they do to me?" Colin said arrogantly. "But I'm afraid they'll hurt you by their dirty tricks," Faye said truthfully. "Let them try it if they dare," Colin said in a cold and slow tone. Soon, they arrived at the house as they talked. York waited at the gate and said with a little bow, "Mr. Colin, please come in." Colin said without looking at him, "Try and come to the company to meet me before noon tomorrow." York didn't answer. Colin slid him a sideways glance. "If you're a wise man, you should know what's the result of working for the wrong side." "But old Mr. Farrell's men have been spying on me." "If you're not able to come to me privately, I guess your life is useless to me," Colin said coldly with overwhelming arrogance. With that, he walked in with Faye. As soon as they came in, they saw more than a dozen policemen standing in the living room. Old Mr. Farrell was sitting in the middle of the sofa with crutches in his hands while Blaine was telling a policeman what had happened. A policeman noticed Colin and Faye, asking, "Who are they two?" "They're my second grandson and his wife," Old Mr. Farrell answered. The policeman nodded. "Do they know this thing?" Old Mr. Farrell shook his head. "They don't know. I asked them to come back." Then the policeman went to take statements from others. Old Mr. Farrell and Colin exchanged glances over the crowd. Colin wore a faint smile on his face while Old Mr. Farrell looked fathomless. When the policemen had left for the site of the incident, Blaine walked over to Colin and said, gritting his teeth, "Are you satisfied with this result?" Colin chuckled. "Dad, you make it sound like Jared was killed by me." "That's the end of it! Don't cause the family any trouble!" Blaine hissed and warned. Colin looked down at him and said without much emotion, "Do you regret not abandoning me when I was young?" Blaine was speechless with anger. "But you'll never get the chance!" Colin uttered a snorting laugh. When they were having a hostile talk, Helen ran over to Faye and said, "Faye, do you want to go to the backyard to have a look? That man died a horrible death. It looks terrifying."

She started to drag Faye to the backyard, and suddenly, got a slap in the face. Helen was stunned, looking at Colin in astonishment, with her hand covering her cheek, while Colin lit up a cigarette, sucked on it and spoke, "What are you up to? To remind her of something?"
