Seeing how he was looking at me while driving, I yelled, “Eyes on the road!”

After pausing for a bit, I continued, “You knew that Armond was going to set you up in Moranta. That was

why you wanted to come back as soon as possible when you heard that he was heading there.”

The man nodded. “But I never expect him to take action so quickly.”

No wonder Armond was completely unbothered when he was making a bet with Abe in the casino. He

knew the latter wasn’t his opponent. Thinking about Abe, I couldn’t help but ask, “Do you think that Abe’s

really dead?”

The man pursed his lips. “According to the police report in Moranta, the corpse’s DNA matches with

Abe’s.”

I was stunned by his words. “Armond actually killed Abe?”

It was way too sudden. I initially thought that Armond faked Abe’s death with a corpse to confuse us.

However, I was too naïve. He actually killed his partner.

Ashton parked the car as soon as we reached the villa. Since we hadn’t been there for some time,

Ashton hired a helper to clean the house. Right when we got off the car, the helper was done with the

chores and was about to leave.

When she saw us, she looked at Ashton and reported, “Mr. Fuller, a tall and muscular man came and

looked for a woman called Scarlett. He asked me to relay this message to you guys: Be careful.”

He’s looking for me?

I stopped the helper from leaving and asked her about the man’s features. After a series of questioning, I

couldn’t think of a person I knew who matched her description, so I let her leave.

Then, I went to the living room and sat on the couch, thinking of the man the helper described earlier.

Ashton looked at me and said, “Now that Abe’s subordinates know that he’s dead, they might be

misguided by Armond and come looking for trouble. So from now on, you’ll have to report to me

whenever you leave the house.”

I nodded, as I knew how dangerous it would be.

Suddenly, a man’s name came to my mind after I heard him mentioning Abe’s subordinates. My body

trembled in shock as I sat upright and looked at Ashton. “I know who that man is now. He’s Danny, one of

Abe’s subordinates. I helped him in Venria before. When he followed Abe back to the country, I gave him

my contact number and address in case he needed my help. However, I forgot about this after I returned

to K City.”

With these thoughts in my mind, I immediately called Nora. She answered after a while, and her voice

was hoarse. “What’s wrong, Scarlett?”

Hearing her voice, I was concerned. “Where are you? Why is your voice so hoarse?”

She answered weakly, “I’m in Moranta at the moment. For some reason, I couldn’t get hold of Armond,

and you guys were already back in K City. I miss him so much, so I came to see him. I’d just arrived and

didn’t have any sleep last night, so I’m at the hotel trying to catch some sleep. What’s wrong?”

I froze for a while as I was shocked at what the woman told me. “You’re saying that you go there by

yourself without knowing where he is staying? Do you know how dangerous it is?”

Realization dawned on her, and she was stunned for a while. “Oh yeah, I was just about to ask you. You

guys stayed in Moranta for such a long time, so you know where he’s staying, right? Can you send me

the address later?”

I pursed my lips as I didn’t know how to tell her about the incident in Moranta. “Do you believe me if I tell

you we don’t?”

She replied, “Hmm… Yeah, but it’s so frustrating, knowing that I have to look for a needle in a haystack.”

After pondering for a while, I said, “Nora, just think of it as going on a vacation in Moranta. Maybe

Armond didn’t contact you because he was busy. There are a lot of things going on with Murphy

Corporation recently, so I think he doesn’t have time to meet you. Anyway, you should return as soon as

possible. It’s dangerous to be alone over there.”

However, the woman was stubborn. “I know he’s busy, so I’m here to see him. Just for a bit, and I’ll go

back. Oh, right! Why did you call?”

I replied, “Oh, I wanted to ask if a tall and muscular man come to find you these days.” Before I left A

City, I reminded her to help Danny if he came to look for her.

She said, “Nope. No one came to see me recently.”

I figured Danny had followed Abe to Moranta, so I nodded and reminded her, “Don’t stay in Moranta for

too long. I’ll give you a number, and just in case you need help, you can call this number. Don’t wander

around there and always be careful.”

Nora hummed in reply and hung up after that. After a while, I sent her Holden’s number and texted

Holden, asking him to take care of her.

Moranta’s security wasn’t that good, so at least Holden could help her if she got into trouble.

After that, Ashton went to the study on the second floor, while I went to my bedroom. It was at this

moment when I realized that Renee had given me Sasha’s journal when I was at the hospital.
