Nolan answered the phone. “Yes?”
“Mr. Goldmann, Stone attacked Instructor Leach in the training camp, but thanks to Mr. Boucher,
Instructor Leach is alright, but…”
Nolan dropped the ashes of his cigarette into a can of Coke. A dark light crossed his eyes as he asked,
“But what?”
“When we were trying to intercept Stone at the junction, his car exploded. Stone is dead.”
Nolan was stunned after he heard what Hans had said.
He threw the butt of the cigarette into the can, releasing a slight hissing sound into the air. Then, he
asked sterly, “Exploded? Did someone plant a bomb in his car?”
Hans replied, “Yes. It seems like someone is trying to get rid of him.”
Nolan gave a chortle and didn’t say anything.
Judging from the fact that Rowena would go to the extent of getting rid of her own man, she must have
believed that Stone had betrayed her.
Besides, he was certain that Rowena was going to kill Stone either way, even if he managed to get rid of
Instructor Leach.
“Did something happen?” Maisie’s voice pulled him back from his thoughts.
Nolan hung up the call and tumed his head around to look at her, who had just woken up. He offered her
a smile and said, “You’re awake?”
“Yeah, a long time ago.” She had heard everything, so she asked, “Did the plan fail again?”
Instructor Leach is injured.”
Maisie lowered her head. “It seems like Rowena is more cold-hearted than we thought.”
”
Not only was she willing to take other people’s lives, but she was not going to let her men live as well
when she suspected them of betraying her.
Wrapping his arm around her waist, Nolan carried her on his lap. “Stone is dead, but that doesn’t mean
that she’s safe. After all, the evidence we have right now is more than sufficient.”
Maisie nodded.
The man at the Summer Pavilion, Instructor Leach, and Mr. Winters were their trump cards to take down
Rowena.
Now that Rowena had killed one of her own men, would they still help her to keep the secret?
Maisie doubted so.
Nolan brought Maisie to Summer Pavilion once again in the evening. The wound on the man’s face had
formed into a scab. Although he still looked like a mess, he had been living in peace in the past few
days.
Sitting on a couch, he asked, “How is my brother?”
Nolan replied, “Your brother is injured. Stone tried to kill him.”
The man was stunned for a moment, and then his face tumed grim.
After that, Nolan walked to one side and sat with his leg crossed. “Stone is dead too.”
“What?” The man was surprised. He looked as if he did not believe that Stone was dead.
Nolan pulled out a packet of cigarettes and handed one to him. “Rowena killed him.”
The man’s hands trembled when he took over the cigarette. Then, the light in his eyes dimmed as he
said, “You… Have you all found out everything?”
It occurred to the man that they already knew the mastermind was Rowena.
Maisie then chimed in and said slowly, “It’s not that hard to find out, honestly. Now you know that Stone
nearly killed your brother, Instructor Leach, and Rowena didn’t let Stone go away.”
As she was talking, she looked at him. “If you hadn’t fallen into our hands, you’d be dead by now.”
The man did not say anything.
Maisie was right. If they hadn’t caught him, he would’ve been dead meat right now. After a long while, he
finally made up his mind and said, “Alright. I’ll tell you everything I know.” The man lit up the cigarette
with a lighter and took a long drag. He said, “Other than the Winters and Wynona, she also instructed
Stone to kill another person. I just know that she was a staff member from the Blackgold Group.”
Nolan frowned deeply but did not say anything. Maisie was stunned. “She was a Blackgold staff
member? Who is she?”
The man lifted his head to look at Maisie. “I don’t know. Stone didn’t tell me her name. He never did
anything but obey instructions given by Ms. Summers. No matter who Ms. Summers asked him to take
out, he would go, and that day it was me who went with him.”
