Over on this end of the line, Alex was already incomparably anxious. "Tell me! Is Jane alright? What exactly happened?"
"Master...Madam and her current man had opened a restaurant in Bay County. However, someone had come over to find fault with them right after they had started their business. No...it didn't seem like they were here to find fault with them. Those people had concrete evidence and said that Madam's restaurant was involved in some illegal business."
Alex was speechless.
Garrett continued. "Also...also..."
"Speak!" said Alex as he flew into a rage. If Garrett was by his side at that moment, he would have beaten him up into a pulp!
"It seemed...like you were the one who gave the order."
"What?" There was a pause before Alex asked with clear articulation. "What the hell is going on?"
Garrett said with an awkward tone, "Master, when you...sent me here to Bay County. You had told me that the madam has a slightly better impression of m e, and you asked me to tell her that it was Mrs Ford who wanted her contact information. I didn't bring anybody with me, and I didn't even bring my identification card. I had tried to inquire from the
people here, but their lips were all sealed."
Alex was speechless.
"However, I did hear some information," Garrett said quickly.
"Tell me!"
"There was an old lady who had said 'I will resolutely not let my daughter be with a man with power. When men like those no longer want you, they truly would exhaust every way to toy with you. Rich and powerful men could have my daughter killed by tricking her.'"
Alex frowned. "Why would she say that?"
Garrett continued, "That old woman also said, 'If this girl wanted to blame somebody, then she can only blame herself! The man already had a wife, why did you still get involved with such a powerful man? His wife is now here at your door, right?"
