Chapter 65 Moore’s Ex–husband
Maxwell nodded.
Hearing his suggestion, I felt energized and immediately called Uncle Marcus, asking him to speak with the police and possibly search the psychiatric hospitals in Lake City.
Uncle Marcus was probably already in bed, as he took a moment to respond after hearing my voice, but he then nodded in
agreement.
After hanging up the phone, I turned to Maxwell and said, “Thanks.” I would not have thought of this connection without his help
He smiled and said, “No need to thank me. I just felt bad for you and couldn’t help but offer assistance.”
I…
This guy truly had a sharp tongue.
The next day.
Since there was no news from Caleb and Benett, I could
ould only wait anxiously at the office.
When Sweety called, I was still daydreaming, so I answered the phone in a daze. She immediately said in a panicked voice, Yvette, quick, come to the Zimmi Restaurant on Rainford Road. I’ve just witnessed something incredible. Hurry over.”
I had not rested well these past few days, and my forehead was throbbing with pain. Pinching the bridge of my nose, I asked, ” What incredible thing?”
“Just come and you’ll know, Hurry,” she urged.
Unable to refuse, I agreed
Getting up and grabbing my coat, I was about to leave the office when I ran into Uncle Marcus at the door. Seeing me heading. out, he asked, “Ms. Scott, where are you going?”
“I have something to take care of. I’ll be out for a while.”
He nodded and said, “The police checked several psychiatric hospitals last night but didn’t find anyone named Sophia However, they learned that Benett had previously visited a psychiatric hospital in Southern City but there was no woman named Sophia there, and Benett had not admitted any woman either.”
Benett went to a psychiatric hospital, but not to admit someone. What was he doing there?
I acknowledged his information and asked, “le Marcus, can you send me the address of that psychiatric hospital in Southern City?”
He nodded, and I hurried out without further conversation.
Zimmi Restaurant.
I had just parked the car when Sweety pulled me into the restaurant, which was divided into two floors with a beautiful and traditional decoration scheme. She dragged me upstairs.
Curious about her urgency, I could not help but ask, “What’s going on?”
As she was pulling me, she whispered, “Guess who I just saw? Moore with a man.”
“A man?” I could not help but twitch at the comer of my mouth. “What man?”
She glanced at the innermost private room in the hallway and said, “I just heard the man’s assistant addressing him as Mr. Lanier. Do you think it could be…?”
“Noah?” I paused for a moment, then could not help but blurt out.
Sweety nodded. “I think it’s very likely.”
Chapter 65 Moore’s Ex–husband
Noah Lanier was Moore’s ex–husband, a prominent figure in Lake City back then. However, oftentimes, money and power were the harbingers of doom for many, and human nature, when perched too high, would breed greater ambition and more
ruthless actions.
During Noah’s years in Lake City, while numerous women and fortunes flocked to him, disaster also struck him head–on.
Three years ago, when Noah was at his most glorious, Moore had married him, emerging victorious among many women to become his legitimate wife. However, it was also around that time that Noah’s life unraveled in less than a year. He fled abroad, taking with him the money he had extorted from the people.
Moore had also gone abroad with him.
Noah’s scandal had shocked the entire country. After all, one person’s greed and cruelty could cause widespread suffering. When the investigations concluded and the media reported on it, it turned out
Noah had several dozen people’s blood hands, not to mention the countless women who had spent time in his bed.
It was indeed a regret for the people of Lake City to not have such a man die during punishment in his motherland.
I had thought that after he fled, he would not dare to return. Surprisingly, he had the audacity to come back. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Thinking this, my first reaction was to call the police, but Sweety stopped me and pulled me into a private room, whispering, I noticed the b*dyguards with him are armed. Let’s observe the situation first. They’re so brazen, so I fear they might have people around. But what I’m more curious about is why is he looking for Moore.”
I pursed my l*ps and said, “After all, they were husband and wife. It’s not strange that he’s looking for her.” What I was more curious about was the reason Noah returned to the country.
