Laurinda hadn’t even had the chance to ask Renata about the nursing home before she got hurt. Everything happened so fast.
“That place wasn’t a nursing home at all. It was actually an organ harvesting facility. Everyone involved has been arrested, and all the evidence is in. This time, Bagot and Pearce don’t have any way out,” Adolphus said, not waiting for Laurinda to ask. He knew exactly what she was worried about and wanted to save her the trouble of talking too much.
“The James Family’s new product launch went really well. And with the scandal involving the Charles brothers, the Charles Family’s stocks have completely tanked. They’re being liquidated right now. The Charles Family is done for.”
He kept going, sensing Laurinda wanted to know more. “The Gates Family got caught up in it too. Frostford’s business partners pulled out. Finn tried to protect himself by switching the official owner of the Gates Group to Harden. Now Harden’s been arrested, and Finn ran off overseas.”
Laurinda was shocked at how things turned out for the Gates Family. She couldn’t believe Finn could be that heartless, just dumping all the problems on Harden like that.
Harden got what he’d been after, but in the end, it was just a mess... nothing worth having.
Laurinda realized she’d missed a lot while she was away from Apex. Adolphus’s explanation was too brief and left her with so many questions. Adolphus saw the look in her eyes and cut her off gently.
“I’ll tell you everything in detail once you’re feeling better. For now, you shouldn’t worry about all this. Oh, and Jack and his girlfriend have been found. They’re in this hospital too.”
“Jack’s girlfriend accidentally overheard someone talking about the facility’s location. She got taken, and when Jack went after her, he got caught too. They were buried alive, but the team from Flame Training Base got there just in time. They’re both safe now.”
Adolphus didn’t go into the details of the rescue, which had been dangerous, but the important thing was that Jack and his girlfriend were safe.
Knowing everyone was okay, Laurinda finally relaxed. She finished a bit more of her liver porridge and drifted off to sleep.
