Chapter 229

John was adamant that he had overheard something important as he looked at Cameron and said, “I

won’t keep you any longer, Ms. Anderson.”

After Cameron and Rebecca left, John sat beside me and pestered me about the reason behind my two-

month disappearance.

Miffed, I couldn’t be bothered to explain to him. Hence, I turned to Marcus and changed the topic. “Let’s

order some takeaways and go home!”

Marcus nodded in response. Just as we were heading out of the restaurant, John blocked our path and

asked, “Scarlet, what’s wrong with you? Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused us just to search

for you? Someone even…”

“Mr. Stovall, if you really care about her, I’d advise you to stop pestering her. The hardships she had to

go through are way tougher than what you can imagine,” said Marcus.

After grabbing the takeaways, Marcus held my hand and escorted me to the car as he saw that my face

was getting pale.

“If you want to badger her to death, then be my guest.” Marcus took a glance at John who was still on

our tail.

Ignoring him, John grabbed my hand. “I thought your illness has been cured. Why is it relapsing?” asked

John.

He then turned his attention to Marcus and questioned in a cold tone, “What’s going on here? I thought

she has fully recovered.”

Perplexed, Marcus looked at me curiously and queried, “You’ve had this illness before?”

I nodded and said to John, “I don’t want to get into it now. Let me get back home first, okay?”

Since I didn’t bring my medicine, I had a hard time keeping my emotions in check.

John nodded and gave Marcus a minatory look. “You don’t need to look at me like that. Ask Ashton if you

have any questions,” scoffed Marcus.

Having said that, he quickly drove off, leaving John in the dust.

Since Marcus was driving at high speed, we were home in no time. After taking my medicine, I looked at

him and asked, “Are the two of them still in our hands?”

Marcus was stunned for a while before nodding. “I’ve already ordered some of our guys to keep an eye

on them.”

“I’d like to meet them now!” I stated. In order to deal a blow to the Moore family, I must start with

Rebecca.

He pondered for a bit and replied, “Okay!”

I wasn’t worried about my illness acting up again as I had taken medicine to stabilize my emotions. And

so, I went straight to the suburbs with Marcus.

The warehouse was nothing different from my vivid memories of it. Upon seeing it, I reminded myself

repeatedly not to break down.

“You don’t have to force yourself. We can come back here some other day.” Marcus stared at me with a

concerned look on his face.

I shook my head, then took a deep breath and said, “It’s okay. Let’s just get it over with!”

When the lights were switched on, I was able to see the interior of the warehouse clearly. The warehouse

wasn’t that big, and there were large piles of junk in it.

Someone had already cleaned up the bloodstains on the floor, and the glass shards were gone too…

Marcus asked one of the bodyguards to bring me a chair so that I could rest my legs. Shortly after, the

two people were brought in front of me.

On the night of the incident, I recalled seeing two men who were wearing hats. However, since both of

them were in disguise, I only had a vague impression of how they looked like.

Marcus ordered his men to bring the men closer for me to take a good look at their faces. Surprisingly,

the two of them didn’t seem like vicious and violent people at all. In fact, both of them looked trustworthy

and sincere.

That being said, looks could be deceiving as they were without a doubt the ones who murdered my child.

“Ms. Stovall, this isn’t our fault. We were just following orders. We…”

The two of them must’ve been tortured for quite a while before coming here. That’s why they are so

desperate to be vindicated.

“Are you that deprived of money?” I chuckled.

Both of them nodded like little chickens pecking on the ground.

“Oh, I see,” I murmured nonchalantly. “Since you two are just doing things for money, that means you

guys would do something for me too as long as I pay both of you. Right?” I queried.

The two of them exchanged glances before turning their gazes toward me and asked tentatively, “What

do you need us to do?”

“Just do some acting!” I responded. After taking a look at the surroundings, I calmly said to them, “I want

you two to act out the incident that night. And after you guys are done, it would nice if
