Thus, Sophia said, “I just called Madam Flintstone and was told that Richard will be paying her a visit later in the afternoon.”
Her reply apparently surprised John as he asked, “Oh, really? He is going to the Flintstone Residence?”
Sophia replied, “That’s right, and it doesn’t bode well to you either, does it? Anyway, I’ve been thinking of a way to do something about it, but since I can’t be involved directly, is there anything you can do to ruin the plan?”
John paused for a while and answered, “I’ll see what I can do, so don’t worry. Everything will be fine. As long as Mom doesn’t give in, Richard doesn’t stand a chance at all.”
Although John’s words made sense to Sophia, she still had a bad feeling about how things would play out. Richard is just way too friendly and amiable. I’m afraid it’s only a matter of time that Madam Flintstone falls for him if they keep hanging around with each other. While Sophia was known to act on her emotions rather than rationality, she still hoped that William could rekindle the old flames with Matilda, despite his unpleasant attitude at times. After all, she would love to see a happy ending, in which the divorced couple could be back together.
Meanwhile, John appeared to be busy with work, so he didn’t say much until he hung up the call. He then put away his phone and turned around, gazing at the warehouse, where the captives were kept. It
seems that we’ve made some positive progress in the past two days. Let’s take a look at who we have here.
Nevertheless, John patiently stood outside the warehouse until someone came closer and patted his shoulder. “Long time no see, Mr. Constance. Don’t you have anything you want to say to me?” Upon hearing that voice, John looked back, only to find Roselia behind him. She was dressed in a sexy outfit, and she smiled at John in a seductive manner.
However, the man only responded by knitting his brows. “You ought to be careful about the bank. Now that those few people have gone missing, suspicions are bound to be aroused, so please keep a low profile.”
Roselia laughed it off as she slipped her hand off John’s shoulder to his arm. “Aw, are you showing your care for me? Don’t worry about me. I’ll be extra careful.”
Feeling a certain dislike toward Roselia’s flirtatious attitude, John furrowed his brows even more. At the same time, Roselia waited for the man to respond, shooting a gaze at him before she finally took her hands off him. Then, she hugged herself and stood beside John as she began to speak in a different tone. “Look, my life would have been poorer if we didn’t meet each other, but at least I wouldn’t have to live in danger and fear. It really makes me wonder what I’ve done to deserve that from you, John.”
After a short hesitation, John said, “How much do you want this time? I’ll get Zack to take care of it in a jiffy.”
Roselia shifted her gaze to John, slowly revealing a smile. “Why is it that money is the only thing we ever talk about every time? Tsk! Tsk!” Nonetheless, she soon changed her tune and said, “Anyway,
perhaps there really is no one else who knows me better than you do.” After that, the lady turned around and revealed her curvaceous behind, walking away while waving at the man. “I’m leaving first. After all, I’m in a high place now, and I can’t risk blowing my cover being away for too long.”
Meanwhile, John didn’t say anything as he watched Roselia’s figure moving further away before he entered the warehouse. The surveillance camera that was dismantled yesterday turns out to be an imported product, built to be waterproof and shockproof. Whoever managed to get his hands on something so advanced like this one was definitely no ordinary person. Then, John was instantly amused when the next thought crossed his mind. Although this piece of tech might have a long list of impressive features, its specificity is probably going to be its dead giveaway. At least, we can begin with where it was acquired.
Later that morning, Zack sent a message that detailed his investigation on the device’s origin. Hmm. It looks like the GPS system in this thing was specially ordered from overseas. I guess everything will come to light with a little investigation.
Soon, John entered the warehouse and saw several captives there. While some of them were awake, the rest were either asleep or unconscious. Besides, there was also a person tied to a chair who seemed to have just taken a terrible beating.
Standing at his spot by the entrance, John instructed one of his men and said, “Bring this person to me. I’d like to have a word with him in private.” As soon as the person was taken out of the warehouse, John was instantly reminded of the time that Sophia came here.
