Chasing His Runaway Wife

Chapter 35

Saul took Malcolm to a restaurant called Abundance Resto which was located in a secluded area.

There were bodyguards outside their private room. The half–kneeling man inside the room was the

middle–aged man who harassed Tabitha in the nightclub that day.

His name was Darius Coudert, and he looked like a normal person when he was not drunk. However,

he was currently squatting in the corner. It was obvious that he had just been interrogated by Saul.

Malcolm glanced at him and sat down on the couch.

Darius noticed that Malcolm had tanned skin. Even though the latter’s eyes were half–closed, he

looked contemptuous. In the dim light, there was a terrifying air of intimidation about him. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Darius shuddered when he saw that man. He realized that he might get into huge trouble this time, so

he took the initiative to step forward and said, “Sir-”

Saul walked a few steps forward and said coldly, “Did I tell you to get close?”

Darius‘ legs gave away and he fell on his knees.

“Please spare my life, sir. I only served others in exchange for money. Please spare me this once. I

won’t dare to do it again!” he begged.

Darius quickly revealed everything before any interrogation.

A woman named Sylvie met him and gave him 10,000 dollars to teach Tabitha a lesson. As long as

Tabitha had a miscarriage, she would give him another 20,000 dollars when it was done.

After hearing his explanation, Malcolm had no emotion on his face. However, his brows were tightly

knit.

‘What kind of trouble has Tabitha gotten herself into to the point where someone wants to kill her child?‘

he wondered.

The sudden drop in air pressure in the private room made Saul realize that Malcolm was very angry.

He instructed Darius to call Sylvie. “Tell her to come here right away by any means necessary.”

That frightened Darius so much that he obeyed.

He quickly dialed a number. Though his voice slightly trembled, he still pretended to be fierce as usual

when he said, “Come to Abundance Resto right away. Bring the money, or don’t blame me for

betraying and exposing you.”

Soon, Sylvie arrived.

She was dressed provocatively. With an impatient voice, she said, “Darius, how dare you ask for

money when you didn’t even do your job right?

You…”

Suddenly, she stopped talking.

Sylvie noticed that there was someone else in the private room. The man who sat on the couch exuded

a cold and elegant aura.

It was Malcolm.

Sylvie’s expression changed greatly, and her air of arrogance suddenly disappeared. She asked

carefully, “Mr. Sinclair? Why are you here?”

Malcolm sat still and said in a cold voice, “Explain yourself.”

Meanwhile, Sylvie looked at Darius who did not dare to say a word. She

panicked.

After weighing her options, she did not dare to beat around the bush anymore and said in a trembling

voice, “Can you spare me this time, Mr. Sinclair? I didn’t mean to hurt Tabitha… Besides, she’s fine

now. I promise to stay away from her in the future.”

Malcolm listened to her confession impatiently. “Call the police and ask them to take care of this matter

and deal her the heaviest punishment.”

Saul respectfully hummed in reply.

Sylvie was so scared out of her wits that she shouted, “I did all this for Naomi, Mr. Sinclair–she and I

are best friends! For her sake, please forgive me this once!”

Malcolm slowly looked down at her. At this moment, the coldness in his eyes sent shivers down her

spine.

“Does this have anything to do with Naomi?” he asked.

Sylvie only wanted to protect herself this time and thought that Malcolm would at least show some

mercy for Naomi’s sake.

She cried and said, “I have no grudge against Tabitha, Mr. Sinclair. Why would I hurt her? I’m doing this

for Naomi…”

Malcolm suppressed the anger that appeared briefly in his heart. Then, he took out his phone and

called Naomi.

“I’m in Abundance Resto. Come here,” he said.

Naomi was applying a facial mask at home when she got the call from Malcolm. Delighted, she dressed

up meticulously and hurried to where he

was.

People were waiting outside the restaurant. As soon as they saw her, they escorted her directly into the

private room.

As soon as Naomi walked into the private room, she saw Darius kneeling on the ground and Sylvie

being frightened at the side. Her heart skipped a beat.

‘Did Malcolm find out about that night? What’s wrong with Sylvie? When I gave her the money, I

remember telling her not to give me up. What’s going on now?‘ she mused to herself.

“Naomi, do you know these two people?” Malcolm asked.

Naomi was unsure for a moment. She did not know whether Sylvie had dragged her into the mess, but

she did not dare pretend that she did not know Sylvie. She tried to remain calm and said, “Yes, I know

her. She’s Sylvie, my high school classmate.”

When Sylvie saw Naomi, she finally calmed down. She hurriedly said, “I really didn’t mean to hurt

Tabitha, Mr. Sinclair. Naomi is pregnant, and Tabitha refuses to get a divorce. Usually, Naomi never

fights for anything, so I was worried about her…”

Malcolm’s anger grew stronger and he glanced at her.

Meanwhile, Saul noticed his reaction and immediately shouted, “Shut up. If you dare to speak again,

we’ll make sure you can never speak in the future.”

Sylvie did not dare to say anything else, but Naomi was relieved.

‘It seems that Sylvie hasn’t given me up yet, she thought.

Bewildered, she said, “Sylvie, did you hire someone to do something that night at the nightclub? How

can you do this? Ms. Jarvis has never been in good health…”

Saul had warned Sylvie, so she did not dare respond. Nevertheless, she pretended to sympathize with

Naomi for having to compromise.

Naomi seemed to have finally figured it out. She sat down beside Malcolm and took his arm.

“Did you suspect me, Malcolm? You… I do occasionally get jealous of Ms. Jarvis, but how could I do

something vicious like that? I’m also a pregnant woman myself.”

Tears began to roll down her cheeks and she burst into tears.

Sylvie also understood Naomi’s tactics and pretended to grumble, “You’re the only kind person who

can’t bear to hurt others. As a result, you end up a single mother without being given any status.”

Malcolm looked down at Naomi with a cold and complicated gaze.
