Chapter 316
The more Chuck thought about it, the fiercer the look in his eyes became. He would never allow anyone to hurt Yvette.
"I've already told you, she left an hour ago. If you don't believe me, you can go up and look for yourself. Guard, let him go upstairs!" The man ordered.
Chuck frowned and thought, "This building is so large. How long will it take me to find her?"
"Did Yvette really leave?" Chuck wondered. The man turned around and was about to walk away, but the injury on his arm caught Chuck's eyes. Chuck grabbed him and asked, "How did you injure your arm?"
It was a teeth-marked wound. In other words, his arm had been bitten.
The man's eyes were filled with anger upon hearing his question. Yes, he was bitten!
When he was about to stab Yvette with a dagger, Yvette had resisted desperately and bitten the man's arm. The pain was so unbearable that even a man like himself couldn't bear it. After that, Yvette had kicked him in the groin.
Of course, he couldn't stand the pain. He almost fainted at that moment and Yvette had seized the opportunity to run. The man had chased after her but she was nowhere to be found.
He was in a rage. It was such a good opportunity, but he failed to kill Yvette, who was a threat to his inheritance of the family property. He had already called someone to look for her in hopes to find her soon.
He planned to take a trip to the United States for a few days. He had to draw the first blood. He was going to tell the family members that his grandfather had died, and then he would inherit all the family property.
"I'm asking you, how did you get this wound?" Chuck stared at him and questioned again.
A ball of fury was ignited in Chuck's heart. Yvette had got to be safe, Chuck couldn't let anything happen to her.
At this time, the man had a strong urge to kill Chuck, but he felt that there might be Karen's men hiding nearby, so he had to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, if Karen came over, he wouldn't be able to run and his hideout place will be compromised.
The man calmed down and replied, "My arm was bitten by Yvette. She bit me and ran away. If you don't believe me, you can look at the monitor. Guard, show him the record."
The man raised his arm and shook off Chuck's grip. This was the last compromise he could make.
"Stop there," Chuck said. He certainly couldn't let that man go just like that. The man frowned and didn't say anything.
Chuck watched as the security guard quickly played the camera footage from an hour ago. Indeed, around that time, Yvette had come out of the elevator, covering her stomach. Her face was red and her mouth was bleeding.
Chuck saw the scene clearly. Was she beaten up? Regine couldn't help but saw it too. When she found Yvette was hurt so badly, her hair stood on end.
Chuck was furious at the sight and cursed, "F*ck!"
While they were watching, the man turned around and walked away. Chuck chased after him, but the man had already gotten in the car and left.
"Hey, be careful," Regine said as she chased after Chuck. Chuck was chasing after the sports car. But how could he possibly catch up the car?
Regine ran up to Chuck's side and panted for breath, "Stop chasing. Didn't you want to find your wife? She has escaped from this place. Hurry up and find her!"
Chuck calmed himself down. Yes, this man had laid his finger on Yvette. Chuck wanted to kill him and make him pay, but it was not the time now. He had to find Yvette first because judging from the monitor record, Yvette was severely injured.
At this thought, Chuck rang Betty, "Hello, Betty, do we have any manpower in Floriland?"
"Yes, Young Master. I've already sent them over. Please wait for a moment," Betty replied affirmatively. She had already made the order.
"Good. Yvette has been beaten up and she managed to escape. Try to see if you can mobilize all the monitor records here. I want to find Yvette!" Chuck said.
Regine was shocked to hear that. This was Floriland, how could the monitor records on the streets be mobilized at will? Who exactly was Chuck? Anyway, Regine was muddled after listening to it.
"Yes, Young Master. I'll pull some strings, but President Logan has some connections in Floriland. Young Master, if you can't wait, you can give President Logan a call first. I'll also start making arrangements for Young Master," Betty said. Karen had just returned to the country not long ago, and her influence had not penetrated Floriland yet. For the time being, this was not comparable to Willa's influence, who had been staying in the country. However, around the world, Karen's status was indescribable. Now that Karen had returned to the country, her influence would no doubt infiltrate.
Chuck hung up immediately and called Auntie Logan.
Auntie Logan had a huge influence in the country. When the phone was connected, it was Willa's gentle voice, "Chucky..."
"Auntie Logan, I'm in Floriland now. I want to see the monitor records of a certain place. Can you help me?" Chuck asked anxiously.
Willa replied, "Yes, Chucky, don't worry. I'll make a call now. Three minutes. Give me three minutes, Chucky."
Hearing this, Chuck felt much at ease and hung up the phone. While Chuck was waiting for her, Regine came over in confusion and asked, "Chuck, aren't you going to start looking for Yvette?"
"I'm waiting for a call," Chuck simply said.
Regine thought to herself, "Waiting for a call? Whose call is he waiting for?"
She was now even more confused. She felt that there was a huge disparity between Chuck and herself. How could Chuck simply mobilize the monitor records of the streets in Floriland like it was nothing?
This was beyond Regine's cognition. She could do so in Ocean City, but not in Floriland. How rich was Chuck actually?
It was beyond Regine's imagination.
......
Quinn snorted. She had eaten, but she didn't have much appetite. She drove out alone and felt bored. What did she come here to Floriland for?
"Such a b*stard, a disgusting b*astard," Quinn muttered under her breath. She stopped the car and exited the vehicle with a sigh.
Then, she walked on the street and saw a person who seemed to be laying in a corner. Quinn walked over and realized that it was a woman. She crouched down and asked the woman, "Hey, what's wrong with you? Shall I call the police for you?"
Quinn reached out and pushed her, but the person did not respond. Quinn was alarmed at the unresponsiveness. She quickly turned the woman over and she was stunned.
Quinn seemed to have seen this woman before. Where did she see this familiar face?
Quinn pondered for a moment. Then, it dawned on her and she thought, "Ah! I saw her at Chuck's plaza!"
That's right, it was Yvette. She had escaped from Damon's company and was injured seriously. She was worried that her cousin would chase after her, so she kept running forward, away from that place, until she fainted.
Quinn was surprised as to why Yvette was tortured into such a state. She felt sympathetic and said, "Hey, wake up, wake up."
Quinn shook Yvette to wake her up. In a sudden, Yvette woke up and grabbed Quinn's neck. Quinn was scared at the sudden move and asked in a panic, "What are you doing? I am not a bad person!"
Yvette was hanging on the last thread of consciousness. She opened her eyes and vaguely saw Quinn, but she didn't think that Quinn was a person who would harm her. Then, Yvette fainted again, muttering weakly, "Don't send me to the hospital..." Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Quinn heaved a sigh of relief. She rubbed her neck where Yvette had grabbed her and felt painful. She didn't understand how a woman could possess such great strength. She then hesitated and
thought that she should give Chuck a call to inform him. Could it be that Chuck had come to Floriland just for Yvette's sake?
When Quinn was at the plaza, she often saw Chuck and Yvette together. Could it be that Yvette was Chuck's wife? And Quinn was a substitute for this woman on the night before?
To tell the truth, Quinn's compassion for Yvette had reduced upon this thought. She didn't want to care about her, but she couldn't ignore the situation and leave her to die either. Hence, Quinn took out her mobile phone and called Chuck. However, for the first time, he didn't answer her call.
That was because Chuck was waiting for Willa's call concurrently, thus, he wasn't able to answer it.
"Why is he not picking up?" Quinn was angry. She called again and it connected this time, but as soon as she said hello, Chuck's voice came from the phone and interrupted her. He said, "President Miller, I'm busy now. I'll call you later."
After that, he hung up the phone.
Quinn was really pissed at his attitude and thought, "Your wife is here with me, what else are you busy doing?" Quinn snorted and tried to dial him for the last time. But the line was busy and she hung up furiously.
She looked at the unconscious Yvette and sighed. She stretched out her hands to help her up. Yvette's figure was very attractive, but she was not heavy. She was 1.7 meters tall and weighed only 55 kg. Quinn could still carry her up with some effort, after all, she exercised frequently and was fit enough.
After carrying Yvette into the car, Quinn drove to where she was staying. She didn't know what to do. After all, Yvette had said that she didn't want to go to the hospital.
When they arrived, Quinn helped Yvette to get out of the car and entered the room. Quinn was out of breath from carrying her. After putting Yvette down, she sat down to rest. Seeing that Yvette was badly injured, Quinn took out her mobile phone to call a private doctor in Floriland to ask him to come over and treat Yvette. She was worried that Yvette would lose her life if she did nothing.
After calling the doctor, Quinn finally felt at ease. The doctor said that he would arrive soon. She waited in the room and decided to call Chuck again. However, he still didn't answer the call. Quinn was so irritated that she almost flung the phone against the wall.
"B*stard, go to h*ll!" Quinn was enraged and couldn't help herself from cussing. At this moment, Yvette was in a coma and had a dream. She muttered something in her dream with tears flowing out of her closed eyes, "Hubby, I am so sad. You killed my grandpa..."
Hearing this, Quinn was extremely startled.
