Alpha silently took back his slippers from Nathan. He snorted coldly, and said,
“I know Rory too well. Rory has a weak personality and lacks a sense of responsibility. What happened back then, he didn’t think about how to make up for it. Instead, he ran away. He didn’t dare to face the mistakes he had made, so no matter what your mother will say to him, even if she is clever, she might not be able to bring back Rory.”
Alpha’s eyes were vicious. He had already seen through Rory, so he was sure that this time, Oriana would definitely return without success.
Nathan was not worried at all. “Grandfather, this is my mummy’s business. You don’t have to worry about it. Let’s think about how to catch a ghost first.”
“Catch a ghost?”
Alpha suddenly narrowed his gloomy narrow eyes as he pondered on what Nathan implied.
“Little master, do you mean that there’s a ghost in the Armstead family?”
Aiden asked.
Nathan nodded, “Grandfather, you’ve been smart all your life, but you lost when it came to love. Actually, have you ever thought that you’ve been deceived by others?”
Alpha looked at Nathan and was silent for a few seconds, then he said, “You mean Lily?”
“Yes, Lily teamed up with outsiders a long time ago to create a huge conspiracy that changed the fate of the entire Armstead family. There was a mysterious and powerful force in the the entire Armstead family.”
Aiden was shocked. The Armstead family was the family of the imperial. They stood on the pinnacle of power. Where did this evil power come from, and what was its purpose?
In fact, with Alpha’s vigilance, it was easy to perceive all of this. However, over the years, he could not love and was trapped by love. He was played by someone else.
Alpha’s gloomy and narrow eyes quickly flashed, as a thought appeared in his mind. He pursed his lips and said, “Nathan, what do you want to do?”
Nathan sat upright on the sofa, “We don’t have to do anything. If we don’t do anything now, they’ll be anxious and someone reveal themselves.”
Alpha’s expression improved a little. He leaned his stiff back on the sofa and nodded softly.
When Aiden saw that the two bigwigs had ended their negotiations, he heaved a sigh of relief. He did not know what this dark force was. He only knew that they had to be careful. The Armstead family wasn’t how it use to be. The Armstead family now had Oriana, and her children!
Lily was really anxious. She watched as two days passed, but there was no movement from Alpha.
Because she was restricted, she did not know what happened to Bounty’s body. This was completely different from the original plan.
In the plan, Bounty’s death was meant to be spread across the entire world, thereby causing an uproar. But now, the entire world was quiet, so silent that there was no sound at all.
Bounty was already dead, so this opportunity could not be missed.
On the third day, Lily could not sit still. She had to contact the mysterious person.
Lily took out her phone and sent a text message.
In the other room, Nathan was sitting on an office chair. There was a laptop in front of him. Right now, the computer screen was rapidly displaying a series of numbers, making it dazzling.
Alpha stood calmly beside Nathan. Aide respectfully whispered. “Sir. Lily sent a text message just
In the past few days, Lily had been restricted from traveling, and her every move was being monitored.
“Sir, I checked it just now, but I couldn’t find anything. It seems that the number that Lily sent a message to doesn’t exist. This is strange.”
Alpha pursed his thin lips. His narrow and gloomy eyes fell on Nathan. At this moment, Nathan had already broken through the protective wall of the phone number. The printer quickly spat out a piece of information. Nathan handed the information to Alpha.
“Grandfather, take a look. This is the times that Lily contacted this mysterious number over the years.”
Aiden glanced at it and secretly said in shock, “Sir, Lily actually contacted this mysterious number more than thirty years ago! My G od, if I remember correctly, this seem to be the time of the incident in the Armstead family!”
A lot of things had happened to the Armstead family over the years. Aiden, Alpha’s private secretary could remember them clearly. Before and after the incident, Lily had been in contact with this mysterious number. This was highly suspicious.
Alpha quickly glanced at the information. His eyebrows had already sunk. Aiden could see the problem at a glance.
Alpha threw the information on the desk, “Nathan, can you locate this number? Who is it that has been communicating with Lily for so long? I want to know the person!”
Nathan shook his head, “This number has been specially processed. If I forcefully locate it, it’s very. likely that I’ll be shocked.”
With that, Nathan turned to look at Alpha, “These people should all know that I’m good at tracking. so they’ve been prepared. Now that Aunty is the biggest bait, we can completely use this opportunity to catch them.”
Alpha looked at his eldest grandson, and slowly said, “Is this what your mother taught you before she left?”
“No, my mom only told me that if something happens to Aunty Bounty during the few days she is gone, that I shouldn’t panic. The accident was a turning point. We can take advantage of this turning point to find out the people behind the scenes.”
Alpha nodded approvingly. The first time he went to Los Angeles to see Oriana more than four years ago, he knew that Oriana was too dazzling.
“However, my mommy didn’t tell me how to seize this opportunity. My mommy just said that Aunty Bounty loves me the most, so let me protect the people who love one. She left Aunt Bounty all to me and told me to wait for her to return.”
Alpha furrowed his eyebrows. No matter how intelligent Nathan was, after all, he was still a three-year- old child. Oriana really dared to give such responsibility to a little boy.
However, a satisfied smile appeared on Alpha’s gloomy eyes. This was the eldest grandson of the Armstead family. He knew what else would happen.
This way, Alpha was rest assured that Deacon was a lucky man than him.
“Nathan, what are you going to do now?”
Alpha asked.
Nathan pondered for a while, “I’ll still insist that we don’t have to do anything. It’s them who are anxious at the moment.”
Aiden’s eyes lit up. He looked at his little boss with admiration.
Alpha sat on the sofa and picked up the teacup. He sipped the coffee elegantly, then looked at the precious steel watch on his wrist. “It’s already eight o’clock, and it’s still four hours before twelve o’clock. Nathan, so far, we haven’t heard from your mummy yet. Once it’s twelve o’clock, if your mum doesn’t come back, then Bounty will be helpless.”
Aiden also looked at the time. The previously agreed time was already near. The golden pill that Oriana left behind would expire at twelve o’clock tonight.
In the past three days, there was no news from Oriana. Alpha had already said that she would not bring Rory back.
It was obvious that the trip to bring Rory back was not going well, and it was unknown when Oriana would return.
Nathan also raised his head and looked at the wall clock in the room. Now that the time was ticking, Nathan said, “My mother’s trip is to put Aunt Bounty’s life on the line. My mother is not afraid of time. Grandfather, what are we afraid of?”
“Something happened,”
Lily edited the message and sent again, but for some reason, the message failed to be sent.
What was going on?
Could it be that the signal was not good here?
Or…the mysterious person already knew something and just abandoned her?
Lily’s heart suddenly became turbulent, and she became frightened and uneasy. She did not dare to make too much noise, she was afraid that Alpha would notice.
The night was getting darker. The bell in the hospital rang. It was already eleven o’clock in the night. The entire hospital was so quiet that there was no sound at all
Lily did not dare to go back, so she stayed in the hospital, but she couldn’t sleep, and the bad premonition in her heart was getting stronger.
At this moment, with a creak, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and a dark figure walked in silently.
Lily instantly sat up in shock. She reached out and turned on the lamp. In front of her was Scarlett.
“Mother Scarlet, why are you here?”
Lily asked in surprise.
Scarlett placed her finger on her lips and made a shush. Then she whispered, “What happened? Why is there no news about Bounty’s death? And why is the Armstead family being secretive about this?”
Lily was startled. She gazed at Scarlett severally, then she asked, “Mother Scarlett, who are you? Are you the…mysterious person?”
Lily had never seen her mysterious accomplice before. Now that she saw
Scarlett, she was shocked.
Scarlett mother did not answer this question. In the dim light, her old wrinkled face looked sinister and terrifying. She had lurked by Bounty’s side for so long, and personally planned Bounty’s death. Who would have known that she would wait so long?
Three days was very long, it was as if a century had passed. Now that the night was quiet, she could only take the risk and surface.
“I…I don’t know what’s going on. Alpha suppressed all rumors and didn’t allow me to get close to Bounty. Nathan, that little rat had accompanied him. The little boy claimed that Bounty wasn’t dead.”
Scarlett was shocked and her expression changed. She immediately reached out and grabbed Lily’s collar, “What did you say? Nathan said that Bounty is not dead?”
“Yeah, that little boy said so. But, Bounty is obviously dead…”
“Damn it! I’ve fallen for it!”
Scarlett quickly let go of Lily’s collar and turned around to leave. She wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.
But as soon as she opened the door, the outside was brightly lit. A group of bodyguards had already surrounded the entire place. She couldn’t escape.
Scarlett’s heart sank in an instant. At this moment, there was the sound of steady approaching footsteps, and Alpha appeared.
Beside Alpha was little Nathan.
“Miss Scarlett, since you’re here, where else do you want to go?”
Nathan asked.
Lily was also frightened by such scene. She quickly explained, “Alpha, don’t get me wrong, I’m not familiar with her. She suddenly came to me. I thought she cared about Bounty, so I spoke to her for a while.”
At this moment, Scarlett looked at Lily and interrupted her, “Idiot! Stop explaining, they already know everything. Can’t you see that they are using you as a bait to lure me out? They already know that you are an insider!”
What?
