The cop cracked a grin and said, “Well. Why would he beg for your assistance in getting rid of Grace if that was his ultimate goal? And what prompted you to offer assistance to him in the first place?”
“Because… Because he promised me that if I discovered a way to teach Grace a lesson, he would find a way to remove Thea Todd from the industry if I did it. Thea is my most formidable adversary. I despise the woman… Therefore… I consented to assist him.”
Yolanda had been up all night mulling through possible explanations to come up with this one.
The officer continued to ask questions. “Why did you put your faith in his word? Is it possible that he could completely remove someone from the world of show business? Kaine stated that he had previously cautioned you about Thea’s background. Why did you still have the nerve to put your faith in your stepfather?”
When Yolanda first heard the name “Kaine,” her mouth fell open.
Had they been aware of her relationship with Kaine?
They should explain where they got the information. Yolanda gritted her teeth and balled her hands into fists as she reacted angrily.
Fuck it!
“According to some gossip, Cody Bradley is Thea’s sugar daddy, and I heard it clearly from other actors.”
Sugar daddy? The look on Cody’s face became gloomy. How old could he possibly be?
Drew was equally as enraged as everyone else. How could these despicable individuals defame his daughter in such a manner?
If it hadn’t been against the law, he would have removed their tongues with his fingers.
“John confided in me that he had gotten a significant amount of money from Thea’s biological mother, and I overheard him talking about it. John was asked by Thea’s mother to watch out for Thea. And she forced John to swear that he would never permit Thea to leave the town where she had spent her entire life. However, after John and Grace finalized their divorce, he just abandoned Thea. John admitted that he had not even brought up Thea’s biological mother in previous conversations with Grace. He told me that if I could kidnap Grace, he would look for Thea’s biological mother. Thea’s biological mother would see to it that her daughter immediately gave up performing and vanished from the entertainment industry. That is what he emphasized to me!”
The officer displayed a shocked expression. Cody and Drew were both taken aback by the confession.
Was Yolanda being truthful here, or did she continue to lie throughout the conversation?
After the flood had carried Thea away, everyone was aware that she ought to have been discovered on the river bank.
They had looked for Thea around the river but without success. They had been unable to find her.
Now they knew that someone must have found the girl first and taken her before they did to account for her disappearance.
Could this so-called “real mother” of Thea be the woman who kidnapped her and hid her from her family so they couldn’t find her?
That woman had even requested John to keep Thea hidden in the same little city she had grown up in for the rest of her life… It was not hard to figure out what she intended to do.
“Have you heard anything else he has to say concerning Thea’s’real mother’?” The officer pushed another question.
Yolanda took a moment to clear her throat before continuing, “Well… He said… When he was still with Grace, he claimed that he would receive money from Thea’s biological mother annually. However, once they finalized their divorce, that woman ceased paying him any financial support. In addition, he remarked on how lovely Thea’s mother was. And she gave off an air of wealth. However, he had only met her once before.”
Cody’s tone was icy as he stated, “I believe we need to go talk to John Gordon.”
Drew gritted his teeth and said in a firm tone, “I’m going with you.”
However, Linford was able to stop his pal just in time and say, “Just leave it to Cody. We have no choice but to remain here if there is further development.”
Drew was experiencing a great deal of anxiety, but he was aware that his closest buddy was right.
****
Cody commuted to the city in his own personal jet. It didn’t take him long to discover John’s business.
However, just as he was about to go through the gate, he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him, “Mr. Gordon! Mr. Gordon! Be very careful!”
Cody quickly spun around and looked in that direction.
John was, however, knocked unconscious when a car appeared out of thin air and ran him over. Cody found him lying in a pool of blood, where he had been for some time before he approached him.
John was rushed to the hospital right away after the accident.
Cody pursued the matter and could recall all of the names of the nurses and physicians that rushed to the hospital to save John.
Cody went to speak to the police officer about the recently transpired accident as John was being treated in the operating room.
The officer has just dispatched a group of men to go into the city. They had not yet arrived at their destination, but something of the sort had just taken place. Following their acquisition of the information, Drew and Linford concluded that there was most likely a third party engaged in this matter.
And those individuals were moving quickly in order to avoid being caught.
Cody returned to the hospital once he had finished providing the officer with all of the relevant information.
The procedure lasted for a total of four hours. While John was still in the operating room, John’s helper communicated with his family.
When John was being pushed out of the operating room, Fiona raced over and yelled, “John! John!” The woman was seen shedding tears.
She turned to inquire of the doctor, “How is my husband doing? Is he safe at this point?”
The surgeon heaved a sigh and said, “He’s safe for the time being. However, he sustained a head injury as a result of the mishap. It’s highly unlikely that he’ll wake up again.”
“What? Is it possible that he won’t wake up? Fiona appeared to be on the verge of passing out, and her helper appeared to be just in time to save her.
Not gonna wake up? Cody furrowed his brow. If John were to turn into a vegetable, then the line of inquiry would be completely useless.
