Tiana stood by the door. Dolores was stunned because she didn’t expect to see Tiana here at such an
early hour.
“Hi, Dolores,” Tiana greeted Dolores.
Dolores smiled, “What brings you here so early in the morning? Is there anything I can help you with?”
Tiana nodded honestly, “Charles tried to call you, but the call didn’t go through. So I have to come and
see if you’re alright.”
Dolores was reminded of the calls this morning. Her doubts were cleared. She stepped aside and
invited Tiana into the house, “Come in first.”
Tiana shook her head, “Nah, I should get straight to the business,” Tiana pointed at the black car
stopped outside. The car windows were covered with black films and made it impossible to see through
the window. Declan sent John back to the Meyer manor at around four o’clock. Charles too made
arrangements last night and got Tom to prepare a car to transport John.
Charles didn’t send John straight to White City after he picked John up. Instead, he gave Dolores a
call. However, Dolores didn’t pick up the call. So, Charles asked Tiana to go to Dolores’s house to
check out what happened.
It was a chance for Charles to see Dolores, but he tried his best to control his desire to see her after
talking to Tiana.
“There’s a man in the car, and Charles asked me to pass this to you,” said Tiana.
Dolores thought she heard it wrong, “There’s a man in the car?”
Tiana replied with affirmation, “Yes, and Charles said he would be useful to you.”
A guesstimate came into Dolores’s mind, “Bring me there.”
Tiana answered, “Sure,” then she brought Dolores over to the car by the roadside. Tom got off the car
when he saw Tiana and Dolores approaching the car.
“Show her,” Tiana told Tom.
Tom opened the car door at the backseat. John was sitting in the backseat unconsciously in his patient
attire.
Charles gave John an anaesthetic after he picked him up. Hence, John was unconscious.
Dolores recognized John the moment she saw his face. John’s face wasn’t covered in the news in the
temple. Dolores was shaking in anger when the idea of John might have raped Theresa came into
Dolores’ head. Dolores wanted to slap John so much, but she knew it is not a good time to be
emotional.
Matthew had been searching for John, and now John was captured by Charles? Dolores wanted to ask
Charles how he captured John. So, she asked, “Where’s Charles?”
“Charles told me that you might not want to see him, so might as well he stop coming to see you,” said
Tiana.
Charles asked Tiana to said so.
Dolores thought Charles had finally figure it out. It was for the best. Dolores hoped Charles could treat
Tiana better, “Tell him that I appreciate it.”
Tiana said, “You’re welcome. Charles said he did all these willingly.”
Dolores didn’t continue the topic. She pretended that she didn’t get what Tiana meant, “Please give me
some space. I need to be alone with him.”
Dolores can’t bring John into her house. She needed to let Matthew know about it so that he could
make arrangements.
“Sure,” said Tiana.
Matthew walked down from the second floor of the villa and asked Coral when he didn’t see Dolores,
“Where’s Dolores?”
“Someone rang the bell just now. She wasn’t at the door?” Coral asked.
Dolores walked in when Matthew was about to go out and looked for her.
“Charles sent a person here,” Dolores immediately told Matthew, “He’s right outside.”
Matthew marched towards the entrance, “Stay in the house. I’ll deal with it.”
Dolores nodded.
Tom led Matthew into the car, and Matthew saw the unconscious John. Matthew gave Boyce a call and
asked him to take John away.
Armand had been searching for John’s whereabouts with Boyce these few days. He wanted to catch
the person who raped Theresa. Armand immediately followed Boyce to Matthew’s villa when he knew
Matthew captured John.
Boyce tied John up and put him into a big sack just in case John woke up and tried to escape. Then,
they put John in the car boot. If Boyce didn’t stop Armand, he would have killed John already. Armand
sat in the car with a sulky face. He was waiting for the car to drive to a quiet place so that he could kill
John.
Matthew asked Tom to send Charles a message, “I’m grateful for his help.”
Matthew had to be grateful to Charles this time for sending John to him regardless of how much he
disliked Charles.
Tom replied, “I will send your message to Mr. White,” then he opened the door and invited Tiana into
the car, “Let’s go.”
Tiana got into the car and left with Tom.
Dolores changed into her daily clothes and walked out of the villa. She knew Tiana had left when she
saw Tom’s car leaving.
“Do you want to go with me?” Matthew asked Dolores when he saw her changed into her daily clothes.
“Yes, I want to know what he did to Theresa,” Dolores sounded cold.
Matthew didn’t persuade Dolores. He was with her anyway, “I’ll drive.”
John was in Boyce and Armand’s car. They were driving in front of Matthew’s car, and Matthew was
following them from behind.
Boyce chose the location to kept John. He didn’t choose a location in suburban areas, but instead, he
kept John in the station.
Boyce was a deputy director, and he was more powerful than he used to be. He didn’t have to use as
much effort to get things done his way.
Furthermore, he had henchmen. He didn’t need to worry about gossips.
Boyce wasn’t sure how strong the anaesthetic was. John didn’t wake up even after he got thrown on
the floor. So, Boyce got a pile of water and poured it on John.
John was wounded, and he was confused as he woke up in such a violent way. He didn’t know what
happened.
John looked around and was curious if he had arrived in White City yet. Declan told him that he was
going to hide John in a place named White City to avoid being found out by Matthew. However, when
John opened his eyes, he saw three men standing in front of him.
John’s eyes widened, “How am I here? I thought I was going to White City?”
“You…You…” John was terrified.
Before John figured out what happened, Armand kicked him in the stomach. John laid on the floor and
covered his stomach. It was so painful like his intestines were broken.
Armand’s eyes were red. He grasped John’s collar and questioned him, “What did you do to Theresa?”
John curled his body up when he saw Armand staring at him like a beast, “I don’t know what you’re
talking about.”
John was wide awake, and he knew exactly who Armand was talking about, but he didn’t dare to admit
it. It was obvious that they were going to beat him to death if he admitted he knew Theresa. They would
probably cripple him even if they didn’t kill him.
Armand sneered, “You don’t know?”
The next second, Armand punched John in the face. John spat blood out of his mouth and asked in a
surprised and terrified tone, “How did you find me?”
Armand wasn’t in the mood of answering any of John’s questions. He only wanted to know what John
did to Theresa. He smiled cruelly, “Stop bullshitting. Answer me, what did you do to Theresa?”
Boyce put Dolores in another room. She could see everything happening in another room through the
monitors in front of her.
Matthew and Boyce became bystanders.
“I’ve done nothing,” John decided not to come clean. Armand was enraged. John was naked, and
Theresa’s clothes got torn off. Now John wanted him to believe that he had done nothing to Theresa?
“It doesn’t matter anymore. Now that you’re here, you’re not going to walk out of this room alive
regardless of what you did,” Armand was so furious that he became calm. He looked down at John.
Then, Armand unbuttoned his coat, took it off and thrown it on the floor.
John was scared. He kept backing away, “Don’t…Don’t come near me!”
Armand sneered, “Useless bastard. Don’t dare to admit who you’ve done? Do you think that I can’t do
anything to do as long as you deny the truth? If I don’t kill you today, I won’t call myself Armand. I’ll
change my name to the wimpy Armand!”
John looked at Matthew and Boyce in fear, “Stop him! He’ll break the law if he killed me!”
