Chapter 201
Yancy was so weak, and she had taken a tranquilizer. She slept so well that she did not wake up even after all the trouble.
Although Oliver believed Yancy would continue sleeping for some time, he still came over to see her every other hour.
At about six o’clock in the afternoon, Fabian brought Diego and his brother from the airport to the hotel.
Oliver arranged for them to stay in a business suité.
Diego and his younger brother, Derek, were both dark-skinned. One looked to be in his thirties, and the other looked to be about 30 years old. Both of them looked older than their actual
ages.
They looked mediocre and old-fashioned, and Derek even wore a suit that anyone could tell at first sight was a cheap suit.
The two of them seemed confused all the way from the airport to the hotel. Perhaps they were dazed by their greed.
Oliver had been observing them since they arrived, and he felt strange. These two brothers did not look like defrauders. They did not seem smart enough to be able to set such a trap to defraud people. novelbin
If he was wrong, then Diego and Derek were indeed not ordinary people. At least their acting skills were at the level of movie stars.
Diego and his brother were stunned by the luxury of the hotel. They looked around curiously, forgetting that they planned to ask Oliver what he actually wanted from them upon their arrival.
The waiter served them with some beverages and snacks. Oliver pointed to the beverage and snacks and said to Diego and Derek in a polite manner, “It’s been a long journey. Let’s have some coffee first. If you are hungry, you can have the snacks too. I will ask the hotel to arrange dinner later.”
Diego suddenly came to his senses. He looked at Oliver and asked, “You
are…?”
“My name is Oliver Eastwood. I’m the one who called you.” Oliver smiled and introduced himself politely.
“Oh, I’m Diego. This is my brother, Derek…” Hearing that he was the one who gave them money, Diego hurriedly introduced himself with a-smile on his face.

After all, it was not easy for them to make money in their hometown. On average, they only earned around 4,000 dollars a year. Even if they left their hometown to work, they could only earn around 12,000 dollars a year at most.
However, they still had to bear their family expenses and their own living expenses. They could hardly save 6,000 dollars in a year.
Needless to say, 20,000 dollars was a huge amount for them. Besides, it was easy money. They did not have to do any hard work. Instead, they were being served so well. They could never find such an attractive offer anywhere else.
Before they came, Derek felt a little skeptical about this whole deal. However, as soon as they received the wire transfer of 12,000 dollars from the other side, they decided to go for it regardless of anything. They also agreed to split the money they earned equally.
However, they did make some backup plans on their way here. For instance, they would immediately call the police if they sensed any sign of danger.
Surprisingly, they did not feel any danger along the entire way. They just felt strange.
If they were women, they could probably be sold for money. However, they were just two poor and not good-looking bachelors who could not even find wives. Why would anyone want to cheat them?
Seeing that the two brothers were hesitant about drinking the coffee, Oliver did not bother to explain. He took a sip of his own coffee and said, “Oliver, I told you on the phone that my uncle’s daughter, Yancy, is nine years old this year. She got a high fever after getting caught in the rain after school one day. After her fever subsided, she became somewhat confused. As I told you, she couldn’t recognize her family members at all, and she said that her name is Gianna. The only thing that she mentioned most clearly is that her two sons are Diego and Derek.”
Diego and Derek still felt ridiculous when they listened to this absurd story on the spot.
Diego was stunned and hurriedly said to Oliver, “Mr. Eastwood, my mother’s name is indeed Gianna. But… She is almost 60 years old. Her brain was damaged in a car accident about a month ago. She’s now in a vegetative state in the county hospital. This…”
Frederick, who was standing next to Oliver, suddenly asked, “Which day

Diego thought for a while and replied, “It was the 16th of last month.”
“The 16th…” Frederick murmured, taking out his phone and checking the calendar. Shortly, his expression changed, and he looked at Oliver with a pale face. “Oliver, the day… the day she had a car accident was the same day Yancy got caught in the rain and had a high fever…”
Oliver’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing that. “This is too scary to be true,” he thought.
Just when everyone was in shock, Lillian ran over in a hurry and said breathlessly, “Yancy… Yancy is awake!”
Oliver immediately stood up and said to Diego and Derek, “Please come and have a look with me.”
The two brothers hurriedly stood up and followed, but their faces were all dumbfounded. They could not believe that there was such a ridiculous thing in this world.
When they came to the presidential suite where Frederick lived, the two brothers were once again stunned by the luxury of this room.
Yancy’s grandmother, Melinda, came out with Yancy in her arms. Diego and Derek immediately turned their gazes to this little girl who was skinny and had a sallow complexion.
When Yancy saw Diego and Derek, she suddenly got excited. She struggled to break free from Melinda’s arms and ran quickly to them. As she ran, she shouted, “Diego, Derek, you are here! You are finally here!” Diego and Derek were both taken aback. They stared at the little girl who ran over and held their hands, not knowing what to say.
Oliver and the others did not stop them. Wayne and Simon were guarding the door of the hotel room, so they were not afraid that Diego and Derek would take Yancy away.
Diego and Derek felt surprised and strange at the same time. The little girl’s tone, accent, and facial expressions were exactly the same as their mother’s. “How is this possible? Mr. Eastwood is young,
but he looks really rich. There’s no way that he would put on such a show to deceive us. Besides, we’re penniless. What can he get from us?” Both Diego and Derek had a lot of thoughts in their minds.
Yancy started crying when she saw that Diego and Derek were ignoring her, “My sons, I’ve had enough. Please take me home. I’m being watched

and controlled here. I feel like I’m in prison. I want to go back. Nowhere is better than our home, not even this luxury hotel. I want to go home!” However, it was impossible for Diego and Derek to bring this little girl home and treat her as their mother.
Oliver cast his eyes on Diego and asked in a deep voice, “Diego, now you see what’s happening. Do you… have any idea what’s going on?”
Oliver wondered if there was anyone behind them who set up this trap, or if anyone ordered them to do it.
Diego immediately shook his head and replied, “Mr. Eastwood, this… I have no idea. It’s just… so strange. I’ve never seen anything like this before. I think… there’s nothing that we can do, Mr. Eastwood. The
20,000 dollars that you mentioned before…”
