Chapter 262 The Accident on the Dock
Faye woke up with a start.
Subconsciously, she turned her head to look at the FaceTime call on the phone, only to find that the call had ended.
Faye pinched the center of her eyebrow. She took her phone and checked the time: it was 04:17 in the morning.
According to the record, their FaceTime call ended half a minute ago,
Faye had always been a light sleeper. It could be sure that the knocks at the door were not her dream.
After giving it a thought, she found the phone number of Colin and dialed it.
The call had been put through, but no one answered it.
Faye could not help frowning before making a phone call to Abbot.
Abbot didn't answer it; instead, he rejected the call directly.
Faye called him again, but Abbot had turned off his phone.
Faye was subdued.
At the same time on the outskirts of Astonia.
Colin came out of a villa in a suit with Abbot, who was swearing, by his side.
Andy sat in the driver's seat. He glanced at the two guys in the rearview mirror and asked, "Mr. Farrell, are we going straight to the dock?"
Colin pulled his tie and said coldly, "Yup. Go straight to the dock."
With that, Andy turned the steering wheel and drove to the highway.
Abbot said, "I really didn't expect Hank Farrell to be so bold as to dare to do such a thing!"
Colin mocked, "It seems that he has known that your shell company is a trap."
Abbot smiled contemptuously and stated, "So what even if he has known it? He has lost his money already. Is he that stupid to think I can give it back to him?"
Without waiting for Colin to answer, Abbot snorted and continued, "My Carter family has always been greedy. Never think of getting a penny from us once we get our hands on the money!"
Colin had a faint smile on his face and uttered, "I wonder if Hank Farrell has the guts to show himself today."
Abbot said, "He has the wolf by the ears, so he has no choice but to confront us."
Colin scoffed without saying anything.
More than an hour later, the car drove down the highway and reached the dock through a lush path.
Abbot was the first to get off the car. He stretched himself and uttered, "Look at this place. It's so warm here, while in Cocanel, it's covered with ice and snow."
Colin also got off the car and teased, "After we settle the matter, you can stay here for a year."
Abbot turned his head, saying, "No need. It's too much for me."
Colin bantered, "Can't believe you'll think something is too much for you."
Abbot held the car door with one hand and looked back at Colin. "For the matter of today, if I have to come here twice a month, I believe I'll definitely die young in half a year max."
