In the amusement park, Credence, the famous president of the Scott Group, was asking around about the disappearance of a little girl, and it caused an uproar.
The manager and the person in charge hurriedly rushed over and went to meet the cold-faced man who had just come out of the bathroom. They smiled embarrassingly and nodded. “Mr. Scott, we are sorry. We did not know that it was your daughter that went missing. We will fully cooperate with you. That’s right, we will give you our full cooperation.”
Credence frowned and ordered the person in charge, “Go and call all of your workers who are responsible for cleaning the ladies’ bathrooms over, I have something to ask.”
“Sure, Mr. Scott, I will get them right away.”
The person in charge asked the manager to make the phone call. After that, he moved a chair and an umbrella over to let Credence sit down.
Credence nodded with cold eyes, but he did not sit down. Instead, he stood straight under the umbrella and looked around with sharp eyes, but he did not see Dorothy anywhere. He pursed his lips and asked Ivana indifferently, “Where is she?”
Ivana was stunned and soon came to realize that he was asking about Dorothy. She smiled apologetically and said, “Mr. Scott, I was a little busy just now and didn’t notice where Miss Fisher went.”
The man then withdrew his gaze. He gritted the cigarette in his mouth and kept silent.
After a short while, the manager brought over a total of 16 female cleaners. All of them were around 45 to 55 years of age and wore an orange uniform with the words ‘cleaner’ on it. They stood in a neat row.
The manager bowed to Credence. “Mr. Scott, here they are. Please ask them anything you want.”
Credence first signaled for Ivana to bring out Belle’s photo so that all the female cleaners could have a look at it. Then he asked coldly, “Which one of you saw the little girl being taken away? Anyone that gives me any useful clue will be rewarded with 100, 000 dollars, with two clues. You get double the pay and so on, there is no limit to the money!”
He had searched around inside, but he could not find any clues at all. The surveillance camera at the scene was destroyed too, which indicated Belle’s kidnappers were experienced.
But no matter how skilled a person was, they would not be able to hide from the public. Hence, there would definitely be many witnesses among the cleaners who were working nearby at that time.
Because they didn’t want trouble to fall on them, most of them would choose to remain silent.
However, money makes the world go round. Under the motivation of money, they would definitely speak up as they would not be able to resist the temptation.
Ivana stood aside. She seemed calm on the surface, but she was secretly criticizing in her heart, “These rich people. It may seem simple and rough, but throwing money around was the most effective way to solve this case.
If the police could be so generous as to throw money everywhere, then most cases would be solved in one day.”
As expected, one of the cleaners, who had a black mole on the corner of her mouth, could not sit still anymore. She looked at the cold and domineering man, shivered and asked, “Will I really get 100, 000 dollars if I say anything?”
“That’s right.”
“But, I don’t want a cheque or a bank card, I just want cash, will that do?”
Credence found her request quite difficult to fulfill.
He never brought any money when he went out. He only brought along Benjamin. As his chief assistant, Benjamin would always settle these trivial matters for him.
His handsome face darkened. Just as he was about to take out his phone from his pocket, he saw Benjamin dashing towards him like a wild horse. He ran very fast, and his face was covered in sweat.
“Mr. Scott, Mrs. Scott, cough, Mrs. Scott left. I saw her rush into a taxi without looking back. She didn’t hear me no matter how hard I called her! Oh, Mrs. Scott muttered something, something about Rawland Lodge. I only heard these words, and she mentioned Rosalie.”
Rawland Lodge?
Wasn’t that the most infamous place for love affairs in Talco City?!
It was a place where little girls, under the age of ten, were sold to satisfy the dirty fantasies of those dirty upper-class people.
Credence’s face turned cold, and he was almost certain that Belle must be there.
Otherwise, with Dorothy’s hatred for Rosalie, it would be impossible for her to take a taxi and rush there immediately in full anxiousness, she could not even hear Benjamin’s shouts.
“Ivana, take your men with you and go there immediately.”
Credence took the lead to stride forward. Endless cruelty and danger circulated in the depths of his eyes, which made it look darker than the night.
The cleaner with a black mole quickly shouted behind his back, “Sir, I wanted to tell you about Rawland Lodge too. I noticed that there were two cleaners who didn’t look like they were one of us. They were dragging a bulging big black bag. It seemed like it was packed with lots of things. They took it and drove away. About that… will you still give me the money?”
Credence stopped in his tracks and his pupils contracted suddenly. He ordered Benjamin coldly, “Give her 100, 000 dollars in cash and leave your phone number.”
“I understand, Mr. Scott.”
Benjamin quickly took out a stack of money from his black business bag. He counted it to make sure it was right, and gave it to the cleaner along with his business card.
After getting his contact, it would be more convenient for them to provide more clues if they found any.
After he settled this matter, Benjamin quickly turned around and ran with Ivana’s men, which were already leaving the gates of the park.
…
After getting on the Maybach, the first thing Credence did was call Dorothy.
He did not know whether that woman was busy or if she was doing something else. She did not answer the phone.
No matter how hard he tried to call, she wouldn’t answer the phone.
He continued to call. To his surprise, the phone was turned off, and only beeping sounds could be heard from the phone.
He was so angry that he almost spat out a fluent line of indecent words. He lifted his head and drank over half a cup of bitter icy-cold coffee only then was he able to quell the anger in his heart.
This woman really deserved a punishment. She was too capricious and stubborn!
If Rosalie was bold enough to do something so insane, this meant that she had someone big to back her up. Yet Dorothy only knew how to rush there alone. It was equivalent to a sheep entering a tiger’s territory.
Credence did not show any emotions. He kicked the driver’s seat hard. He scolded Benjamin, who was driving the car, “Didn’t you have anything for breakfast? Hurry up, drive faster.”
Benjamin, who was scolded despite not doing anything wrong, dared not make any noise. He immediately increased the speed of the car. He had long been crying on the inside.
Mr. Scott was really scary when he was not in a relationship!
After Credence finished yelling, he leaned back with his eyes closed. He looked cold and tranquil.
He thought to himself that after Belle and Germaine were saved, the first thing he would do was press Dorothy under him and f*ck her hard.
He wanted to make her understand that she was not alone and that she could rely on him.
When something happened to her woman, he was not the first person she thought of, and she did not rely on him immediately. That could only mean that he was not the most important person in her heart.
This was also because she was hurt too badly in the past, so she didn’t trust him instinctively.
He leaned on his seat and stayed motionless.
After a long time, he faintly asked Benjamin, who was driving, “What if you were the one who completely broke a woman’s heart, but then you want to pursue her again. Yet she treats you coldly from time to time, and it is difficult to please her. What would you do?”
Benjamin was shocked. “Mr. Scott, apart from Mrs. Scott, do you have anyone else you love?”
He immediately felt a sharp gaze shot at him, he was so frightened that he immediately pursed his lips tightly and pretended to not have said anything.
Rawland Lodge was located in the outskirts of Talco City. It was relatively close to the amusement park. After around 25 minutes, the Maybach stopped at the entrance of the manor.
Credence got out of the car quickly and kicked the half-opened door. A group of black bodyguards immediately came over and blocked his way.
Benjamin immediately followed him and showed them a super VIP card.
Only five of these super membership cards had ever been sold.
The group of well-trained bodyguards in black retreated. The lobby manager came up to them when he heard the news. “Mr. Scott, this way, please.”
He said, “You don’t have to guide me. I know the way.”
Credence did not bother to look at him. He narrowed his eyes and left with a cold expression.
