Jaden stood to the side, looking at Nick with some surprise.
This boy seemed to have been a little punk back then, but I never thought he would really look a bit like the leader of Temple in Heaven, calm and unruffled.
Enrico’s long fingers paused on a page, his eyes floating with a dark color, his thin lips moving slightly, “Bring Clinton to me.”
Everyone turned their heads at the same time.
Dr. Clinton stood there silently, breaking out in a cold sweat, is he the only one here named Clinton?
The facts told him that indeed he was.
Two bodyguards clamped his arms from the sides and led him to Enrico.
“Mr. Gustin, I…” Dr. Clinton looked at him in fear.
Enrico stood there, holding up a page of paper in his hand, and looked down at him with lowered eyes, “She went to see you, why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
“It was Miss who wouldn’t let me…”
Dr. Clinton’s words were cut short as Enrico lifted his leg and kicked him mercilessly in the chest.
Dr. Clinton was directly kicked to the ground. He covered his chest and lay on the ground. As soon as he looked up, he met Enrico’s murderous eyes, and he suddenly felt cold all over.
Seeing that Enrico was such a ruthless person, everyone panicked. There were two women behind him, and they were so scared that they screamed, but they were gagged by the others.
“Mr. Gustin…” Dr. Clinton looked at Enrico in horror, struggling to get up, breathing heavily.
Mr. Gustin had changed a lot since Paige had appeared.
So much so that he really believed that it was better to offend Mr. Gustin than Paige, but he forgot what he would face once Paige was gone…
Enrico handed the report in his hand to Jaden and walked down the stairs, walking towards him step by step.
“…”
Dr. Clinton covered his chest and retreated.
Enrico stepped on his leg with one foot, a very light move, but it made Dr. Clinton freeze and not dare to move.
Seeing that he was motionless, Enrico let go of his leg, crouched down in front of him, looked up at him, and said, “Apart from asking you for my medical report, what else did she say?”
This sense of oppression was undoubtedly like a dagger pressed against a person’s artery.
Dr. Clinton was sweating profusely as he was looked at, and he hurriedly shook his head, “Mr. Gustin, there really isn’t anything else.”
He was here, facing Enrico, and he dared not hide anything from him.
After he finished speaking, Enrico calmly raised his hand and grasped his neck, looking deep into his eyes with an unchanging expression. His voice was so deep that no one could tell what emotions he was feeling. “Think carefully, think clearly, and don’t waste my time helping you remember.”
“…”
Jaden frowned when he saw this, and wanted to go up and help say a few words, but he held back.
“…”
The six Peak Club members stood there, shocked at the scene.
Carrie was even more shocked. She had thought that what was written in the news was all false. She had clearly seen her brother-in-law being very…
For a moment, she didn’t know how to describe it, but she was really shocked by Enrico’s actions.
“Mr. Gustin, I really can’t think of…”
Dr. Clinton felt innocent, but when someone grabbed his neck, the images from that day reappeared in front of his eyes. Suddenly, he remembered, and he said anxiously, “I remember now. The young lady also asked me a very strange question. I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time, and I just thought she was talking nonsense.”
“Say it.” Enrico’s expressionless.
“The young lady asked me if it was possible for a person to be in perfect health, but to rapidly decline and die within a month or two.”
Dr. Clinton said, his voice trembling with fear.
Enrico’s face finally showed an expression, a trace of doubt stopping in his eyes, “She asked you this?”
Her body…
Impossible, before she was recovering from her injuries in River Town, and he knew her physical condition only too well, how could she suddenly decline in perfect health.
Enrico let go of his hand, stood up, and took the stack of investigation reports from Jaden, continuing to flip through them.
“…”
Dr. Clinton had survived death and was lying there gasping for breath.
It was really hard for them to work as a team. Things were much better when Paige was around, but without her… they were finished.
Nick stood there, and Enrico suddenly looked up at him coldly.
“…”
Nick knew that he must have seen what he had written, but the coldness of that glance was still bone-chilling, completely different from the look he had shared with them in River Town at that time.
Enrico was now aloof and overbearing, just as he had always been.
“…”
Enrico looked down at the report in his hands.
If you had known the ending that night, would you still have entered River Town?
She asked Nick this.
She seemed to have a particular fondness for asking questions these past two days, such as the one about the train tracks, and she asked them so earnestly.
Enrico pursed his lips and continued to flip through the report. When he came to the part written by Butler Beau and the servants, he glanced over sharply.
Butler Beau was so shocked that he immediately knelt on the ground and hurriedly explained, “Young master, I saw that you dote on young mistress so much, so I thought it was fine for young mistress to take a look at the belongings left behind by Mrs. Annie. This… This should have nothing to do with young mistress’s disappearance, right?”
“…”
So everyone dares to hide things from him.
Good.
Very good.
Enrico slammed the report in his hand onto the ground, his eyes spewing out his anger.
His indulgence had instead locked him up!
Butler Beau’s shoulders shrank with fear, and the servants behind him all knelt to the ground, not knowing how to beg for forgiveness.
Jaden’s phone vibrated, and he answered it. Rafael’s depressed voice came from inside-
“Jaden, what’s going on with Enrico? He suddenly and for no reason blocked all traffic out of The Capital. Now there’s a lot of doubt online. What’s he doing? He has to give the public a reason, or else the president’s office website will be full of abuse again.”
The hall of The Gustin family’s villa was huge, so huge that for a moment everyone held their breath, afraid to breathe too loudly, so Rafael’s query came through clearly.
Jaden didn’t know how to answer, so he looked up at Enrico.
Enrico’s face was full of gloom, as if he hadn’t heard Rafael’s words. He spoke coldly, “Bring up all the surveillance footage from The Capital, both public and private, and start from where Paige disappeared. I don’t believe a person can just disappear in front of my eyes.”
“Yes,” Jaden dared not disobey.
“Bring up all of my mother’s belongings,”
Enrico said in a deep voice, turning and walking up the stairs.
Carrie stood there, looking at the papers all over the floor, and suddenly remembered what Paige had said yesterday. She couldn’t help but take a step forward, “Brother-in-law!”
Everyone looked at her. Had she lost her mind? How dare she take the initiative to speak to Enrico.
Enrico’s steps paused in the middle of the stairs.
“Paige is not someone who would leave things unresolved. I believe there is a reason for her disappearance. She told me yesterday that the most important thing at the moment is the presidential election. I think what she meant was that no matter what happens, we must help President Rafael win the election.”
Carrie stood there and said, “Therefore, you have unreasonably blocked roads and traffic without knowing how long it will last. This may make the president’s job difficult and will not be beneficial to the current election.”
Everyone at the Peak Club nodded in agreement.
On hearing this, Enrico glanced back at her, and suddenly a curve formed on his thin lips, looking contemptuous.
Carrie was taken aback, and suddenly understood.
He didn’t not understand, he just didn’t care.
