Chapter 503
Half a month later, both of them returned home after Neil’s injuries had healed. While they were away, the Remus Family had dealt with a lot of things.
As soon as they reached the mansion, Neil called Curtis over.
Curtis was excited to see him. “Mr. Remus, Miss Pond, you're finally back!” Neil had a solemn expression. “How’s the progress for your task?”
Before he left the country, he had asked Curtis to collect evidence of Liam’s crimes. He was preparing to reveal it during the next presidential election. That way, Liam could experience what it was like to hit rock bottom.
“It's all been duly arranged. However, the police have arrested your father for killing Sean and Beatrice six years ago. Meanwhile, Liam has captured your mother and grandmother. | don’t know where he’s locked them up. I’ve been searching for a week, but | still don’t have any information!”
Neil's face instantly fell. “Keep searching!
After Curtis left, Silvia looked at Neil and said, “You're still in the middle of recovery. Get some rest and leave the search for Madam Remus to me.”
Neil's expression was grim as he said, “No. I’ve almost recovered, and Remus Corporation’s presidential election is coming up. | need to prepare in advance.”
Silvia pursed her lips. “Alright, but you should also take care of your health. There are many things that you can delegate to your men. Let them handle it for you.”
“Alright.”
“I'm going back to the office. | have to take care of something.”
After Silvia left, Neil quickly found a spare phone and sent Ada a text.
Ada was living with Liam. Perhaps she knew where Abalene and Melanie were.
Meanwhile, Ada was walking into Liam’s basement with a takeaway box.
There was nothing in the dark room but two simple iron beds and a toilet.
Both Abalene and Melanie’s hands were locked in chains. They looked at Ada expressionlessly. Ada had been bringing them food all this while.
When Liam first locked them up, Abalene and Melanie had tried to resist. Gradually, both of them gave up. Liam failed to get the information he wanted from them as well.
Ada placed some bread and pickles before the both of them. Then, she secretly slipped a piece of chocolate into their hands and whispered, “Please eat.”
Just then, the basement door suddenly opened, and Liam walked in with two of his men.
He walked straight up to Abalene. A vicious scowl now replaced the once gentle look on his face. “Grandma, where is the secret key? If you don’t tell me, I’m going to hurt Melanie in front of you. Don’t say | didn’t warn you.”
Kane’s men had come over a few times to ask him for the key. They were getting impatient. Kane had also refused to help him solidify his position in Remus Corporation.
If he did not hand over the secret key, Kane would remove him from the position of president.
However, what exactly was the secret key? What was it used for? Why had he never heard the Remus Family mention it before?
Abalene glared at him. “I don’t know what this secret key is. You keep talking about it, but I've never seen it before. Harmony Yard is only so big. If you don’t believe me, you can get someone to look for it.”
Liam's face was filled with hostility. He had already sent people to search Harmony Yard thoroughly. They had ransacked the place from the inside out for goodness knows how many times. Yet, they had found nothing.
After a moment of silence, he smirked. “Grandma, as long as you hand over the secret key, I'll release you and Aunt Melanie immediately. How about it?”
Abalene’s expression did not change in the slightest. “I've told you that | have no idea what the secret key is,” she said with a straight face.
The smile on Liam's face gradually turned sinister. He kicked over the bowl of bread and pickles next to her. Then, he spoke menacingly, “It looks like you want to see Aunt Melanie die in front of you.”
After that, he looked at two men behind him. They promptly stepped forward and pinned Melanie to the floor.
Abalene’s expression finally changed. “What are you doing, Liam?!” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
