I’m Someone Else

Chapter 270

Chapter 270

Olivia stayed with Thomas and fell into deep thought. The letter from yesterday… Who wrote that, and whose ashes did they steal? I can’t figure it out if Thomas doesn’t tell me anything.

“Ahem! Ahem!”

Just as she was deep in thought, she heard Thomas coughing. She quickly grabbed the warm water she had prepared and gave it to him. After taking a few sips, he looked at her sitting beside him and assured her, “Don’t fret. I’ll get changed now and send you to the company.”

He got a feel for his condition. Although still sore and powerless, he was lucky to have not suffered any internal injuries. That realization made him feel blessed because he could remember his despair and reluctance before fainting. He did not expect fate would still favor him this time.

Since he had survived last night, he only needed to bear through tonight to restore his body condition. Then, he could track down those thieves and get Chloe’s mom’s ashes back. Moreover, he was curious about the mastermind’s identity. His rage would not be diminished before he wiped out the other party!

“Hey, Thomas. I—” Olivia wanted to tell him she could take the day off if he was not feeling well and stay with him for the day, but before she could finish her words, he had gotten to his feet, ready to change his clothes. She, on the other hand, blushed and quickly exited the room.

Gosh, Thomas. You’re shameless! What are you so caught up in that you don’t even notice I haven’t left your room? You even began taking your clothes off while I was still there! You’re lucky I left in time, or else I would’ve seen you naked! It’s fine if I take a peek, but it’s embarrassing for me to stare openly! She stomped her feet while secretly complaining.

After simply tidying himself, Thomas arrived at the first-floor living room. Meanwhile, Olivia, being the good wife she was, had brought breakfast to the table. Since he did not have an appetite, he ate a few mouthfuls and got in the car to send Olivia to Keyshire Property.

“Be more alert at the company because I won’t be around this morning. I have something I need to do and will be here to pick you up later,” he informed her at the entrance to Keyshire Property. He had to return to Northpine Villa to continue restoring his body conditions.

“Fine. Take care of yourself and drive slowly.”

“Okay!”

It was not until Olivia could no longer see the Maserati’s tail lights that she unwillingly withdrew her gaze. “Gosh! How am I going to survive the day without seeing him?” She sighed while entering the building.

On the other hand, at Hind Group, Jake stood before the French window of his office and looked out at the scenery of over half of Irieson. He was anticipating nighttime to arrive because once the clock struck midnight, Thomas would perish!

These days, he had been doing nothing except exerting all his efforts into this plan. He was certain that once Thomas took half a step into Green Lake Manor, he would cease to exist! In his mind, he had already visualized the scene where Thomas lay in a pool of blood. However, his imagination was interrupted by his ringing phone.

“Blake, is there anything you need?”

The caller was his brother.

“Come home immediately. I have something to ask you.” That was all Blake said before hanging up.

“Huh?” Jake’s good mood was instantly gone because he could hear something was amiss with Blake’s tone. He sounded angry. What’s the matter? Did something happen to him?

Jake hurried back to the Hind Residence, not daring to waste more time. “Blake, what happened?” he asked his brother, who had a cold face.

“Don’t start. I will do the asking. Was it you who sent someone to dig up the grave belonging to the mother of Thomas’ godsister?”

Blake had just heard about it from his subordinate’s report. Never would he have imagined that his younger brother would do something so immoral. The Hinds used to be a glorious family that always did everything upright. It was the first time someone in their family did something as sinful as digging up someone’s grave!

At first, Jake was flabbergasted because he did those things behind Blake’s back. How did he find out about it? Then, he realized that someone must have exposed him. He knew arguing was fruitless because Blake would only interrogate him if he was certain. Therefore, there was no use in denying it, and he admitted to it. “Yes, it was me, but you must hear me out. I did it because I had a reason to do so. It was revenge for Drake. I—”

Before he could finish, Blake waved his hand and interrupted his younger brother. “As Drake’s uncle, I don’t feel any less despair about his death, and I don’t care that you decided to seek revenge for him, but whatever you want to do, it should be targeted at Thomas. You can even do something to his godsister, but her mother has been dead for ages. Why did you dig up her grave?”

Something as immoral as this could only be done by Minacia Oito Irieson. Though it was true that the Hind Family was one of their secret supporters, the Hinds were significantly different from those eight people. At the very least, their family would not outwardly do something like that!

“Blake, you’re being foolish. As long as we can seek revenge, who cares about the means we use? Anything that can be used to kill Thomas is a good method!”

“That’s outrageous!” Blake charged toward Jake and raised his arm.

Slap! A crisp strike landed on Jake’s cheek.

“How do you expect the people of Irieson to see the Hind Family once this gets out? Why the f*ck would you do something so inhumane? Aren’t you afraid of karma?” Blake was so furious that he was almost smoking from all his orifices.

In the past, Jake would come to him and discuss everything beforehand, but now, he would have been kept in the dark if someone did not report this matter to him. Jake had become so lawless!

One should respect the deceased and let them rest in peace after their burial. That was a saying passed down for centuries. When had anyone sought trouble with the dead?

Meanwhile, Jake silently stood in place with his head bowed. However, his eyes were filled with anger as he cursed, To the one who ratted me out, pray for your life and hope that I never find you. Otherwise, I’ll make sure that you’re a dead man!

Blake pointed at Jake’s nose while bellowing, “Listen to me. Return that old lady’s ashes. Or else, you’ll be sorry!”

Hearing that, Jake vigorously lifted his head, wondering what Blake was talking about. How could he ask that the ashes be returned to Thomas when the plan was already halfway through? Would that not mean all his efforts from before were in vain? He was so close, yet he had to give it all up.

“Blake, that can’t be done!”
