Chapter 569
Genevieve knew he was only saying that casually, but her cars still turned slightly red when she heard that.
As Bruce liad hailed a cab there and didn’t bring Joash with him, Genevieve drove him back since they were both staying at Regality Gardens,
Her phone rang when she got near the city
Since it was an unknown number, she hesitated for a few seconds before answering the call. “Hello? Who is this?”
“Hello, Ms. Rachford. I know you’ve been looking for a witness to Johanna’s assault.” The person on the other line was a man trying to keep his voice low.
The look on Genevieve’s face tensed up immediately. “Did you see what happened?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“No…” The man paused for a few seconds before continuing, “You see, I am the one who assaulted Johanna. It was Sylvie who hired me to do it. I can help you testify against her if you pay me a sum of money to leave Jadeborough and promise not to come after me.”
Genevieve had pulled lots of strings to find the culprit but to no avail.
Now that the culprit had contacted her on his own accord, she agreed to his deal without any hesitation. “I know you were just doing your job, so I promise not to hold you accountable. Will
you tell me where you are right now? I’d like to meet up with you.”
As the guy didn’t say anything in response, Genevieve added, “The fact that you’re calling me right now means things must’ve turned ugly between you and Sylvie. You helped her kill someone, so she’s definitely going to silence you to ensure her own safety. Now, I can guarantee yours if you meet up with me. Besides, who else can you trust except me?”
Hmm... What she says does make sense.
With that in mind, the guy provided Genevieve with an address after a brief moment of hesitation.
Genevieve then drove straight for the city, ignoring all the red lights along the way.
“There’s something I need to take care of, so I’ll drop you off by the side of the road. You can hail a cab home or something,” she said.
“No, I’ll go with you. I could be of some help in case something happens,” Bruce replied.
Although Genevieve was using a Bluetooth earphone when talking on the phone carlier, the car was quict enough for him to hear their conversation.
Genevieve simply shot him a glance and continued driving in silence.
About ten minutes later, they arrived outside the fast food restaurant stated on the address.
The place had two floors and was open twenty-four hours, so there were still people dining there at the timc.
Gencvicve put on a cap that she had borrowed from Brucc and ran into the restaurant. However. she couldn’t find the man in the black jacket even after searching both floors.
She then tried giving him a call, but his phone had been switched off.
Right as Genevieve’s Nicart sank, her phone started ringing all of a sudden.
She quickly answered the call, only to realize it was Bruce on the phone. “I’m afraid the guy you want to meet is already dead…”
Learning that, Genevieve ran out of the fast food restaurant and hurried back to Bruce’s car.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmApparently, there had been a car accident on the street next to the fast food restaurant about five minutes ago. The man’s motorcycle was crushed to pieces in the crash, and he died on the spot.
Genevieve pushed her way through the crowd, only to see a man in a black jacket lying in a pool of blood.
She was so shaken up that her legs gave out beneath her. Fortunately, Bruce was there to hold her steady.
Genevieve’s lips were pale as she grabbed onto his arm and muttered through clenched teeth, “I was so close!”
Even after rushing over as quickly as she could, she was still a step too late.
Meanwhile, in Baykeep, Herbert had been feeling unwell lately and was going to get some rest after taking his medication. However, a sudden phone call caused him to lose all sense of drowsiness instantly.
He hurried downstairs and shouted at the driver, “Ask Sylvie where she is! Tell her to come home right away!”
The driver was about to make the phone call when the doorbell rang. He then opened the door and saw Sylvie standing outside.
She was wearing exquisite makeup as if she had just returned from a formal event.
