Volume 10 – Chapter 12: Vested Interests (Part 1)
Caroline instantly felt that something was wrong, judging from Livia’s panic.
She saw with her eyes how Joseph died tragically. His throat was pierced with a knife. Blood splashed on the glass with no possibility of surviving. She even clearly remembered the scene when Joseph died. It was horrific.
Even at this time, she could imagine how painful Joseph was at the time. But why did Livia say that it was Boss Neymar who died? Did the ruler of this territory die in his own house?
Could it be it was all because of the magical trade I experienced? Did the club kill Boss Neymar to save me from danger?
Even when Joseph died, Neymar was on the scene. It was Boss Neymar who ordered someone to kill Joseph. Was it a typical gang fight or something else?
But, why did Boss Neymar die?
Livia seemed to be recalling the situation at the time, “Later, we were brought to the living room. Did you know? Ronal went crazy at that time! He is Boss Neymar’s younger brother and has always admired his brother a lot. He was despondent! While tearing, he pointed the gun at many people’s heads one-by-one. He went completely crazy!”
Caroline had also heard about Ronal. He was an orphan but adopted by Neymar when he was young. Many people knew him as Neymar’s little brother. Over the years, Ronal had conquered a huge territory for Neymar and was one of the core people of the gang.
“Later, they interrogated each territory one by one, but in the end, they couldn’t find out any clues.”
Livia patted her chest and said, “Furthermore, everyone in the villa knew each other. We can testify to what each of us was doing. Not only was Boss Neymar dead, but I also saw them take Joseph’s corpse out. Oh, it’s Joseph from the neighboring district I told you about!”
Caroline nodded subconsciously.
“…I heard them whispering. It seemed that Boss Neymar and Joseph were discussing something at the time, and there seemed to be another man present. But at that moment, no one could find that guy. I heard Ronal seem to say something like ‘Mr. Song is gone.’ They mentioned some kind of “flower.” I didn’t hear the flower name clearly.”
Livia shook her head, “Later, they let us all go, but they also warned us not to leave this area casually. When I came back, I took a glance. All the exits were heavily guarded. Anyone leaving the place would be checked and interrogated!”
“It looks like something big happened…” Caroline murmured.
Livia suddenly asked suspiciously at this time, “By the way, how did you come back? I don’t remember seeing you at that time? Later, I looked for you and found nothing other than this.”
Livia took out a bag from the bag she was holding in her hand. It was Caroline’s bag.
Livia nodded, didn’t doubt anything, and said casually, “No wonder I heard the doorman saying that they saw you walking out with a man.”
“Really…” Caroline’s face changed slightly.
The doorman said so?
That would be impossible!
Yes… it’s that mysterious shop! That boss!
Could it be that he had predicted that I would tell such a lie a long time ago? Hence, he did something to get the guard to testify for me?
But… how could he know that I would use this excuse and subsequently make the doorman say “saw me leaving with a man” but nothing else?
“What’s the matter with you? Caroline? Caroline?” Livia looked over at this moment with concern.
Caroline shook her head at this time and said casually, “Isn’t it a bit scary to hear a piece of news like this?”
“Ai, let’s not talk about it!” Livia stood up, “I’m going to take a shower first, and then get a good night’s sleep! Whatever is going to happen next, let it go to hell! Oh… By the way, this is your salary. The referrer paid us when he left. I took your portion for you.”
Livia took out a few banknotes from her wallet and placed them in front of Caroline. She blinked and said, “This is for this month’s rent.”
Caroline put the cash away in silence.
She held the bank card. Her guts told her that she should go to that place again and ask the young and mysterious boss what happened.
This was the first night when she was holding her favorite banknote but couldn’t sleep peacefully.
