Chapter 115 Horace’s Weakness
Alastair left the office in a hurry. He was afraid that Horace and Isaac would change their minds and play tricks on him again. He’d better leave as soon as possible. However, he would definitely do what he promised to Horace.
What Alastair said made Horace fall into deep contemplation.
As Alastair said, most of his friends were those close to him, and some were his clients who had collaborated with him for many years. Was the man who raped Clara one of them?
Was there anyone he knew among them?
Horace’s face turned livid.
Although what happened two years ago was just an accident, he had already decided to teach the man a lesson two years ago. But if the man was someone he knew, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?
But he wouldn’t let go of anyone who hurt Clara.
How dare that man touch his woman? Especially before Clara met him.
Damn it.
Isaac was worried about Alastair. He felt that Alastair was unreliable no matter what he said or did.
He asked, “Mr. Kirkland, do you really believe what Alastair said?”
After thinking for a while, Horace said firmly, “I know what kind of person he is. He is not a person who doesn’t dare to admit what he has done. As for whether he is reliable or not, it’s hard to say.”
Isaac nodded in agreement.
Horace continued, “I hope he can really help me find out something. At least we are a step closer to the truth.”
At the same time, in the villa of the Kirkland Family, Roger Mullins, the assistant of Sean, came to report work. He first reported some trivial work as Sean listened and recorded it on his notebook.
“Is there anything else to report?” asked Sean.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Roger stood straight and straightened his body. He thought what he was going to report next was very important.
He answered, “Yes, Mr. Kirkland. I got big news.”
With his eyes wide open, Sean shouted, “Then tell me quickly. Do you want me to be anxious to death?”
“Here is the thing, Mr. Kirkland. At noon the other day, I heard a news in the Millennium Hotel that two or three people had a dispute in the hotel hall. A woman was drunk…”
At this moment, Sean really wanted to fire Roger. This kind of news spread all over the world. Was he slacking off recently and thinking that his salary was too little? Or did he not want to work?
Seeing the unfriendly expression on his face, Roger hurriedly said, “You look anxious again. I haven’t finished yet. Please listen to me, Mr. Kirkland.”
“Tell me now!” cried Sean. Roger always beat about the bush when he spoke. Every report from him was the last thing that Sean could bear, and his report always made him grind his teeth.
With a relieved smile, Roger said, “It’s not surprising at first, but it’s strange that all the surveillance recordings in the hotel have been deleted. So, with my keen sense, I think there must be something wrong here, because Horace seemed to have been there that night, so did Clara, and so did Darren.”
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier? So? What did you find out? Who deleted the surveillance video, Horace?”
Roger nodded heavily, “Yes, you’re right. It’s true that it’s Horace who asked Isaac to delete all the surveillance videos of the hotel. But there is something stranger than this.”
Sean had aroused his appetite and waited quietly. There must be something wrong. Clara, Horace, Darren, the surveillance footages…He had a hunch that Horace wanted to cover up something that he had deleted the surveillance videos.
“There was a passer-by in the hotel. He saw a man who looked like Horace that night, but that man didn’t sit on a wheelchair. Instead, he stood there. He was a normal man who could walk and run,” Roger continued.
Shocked, Sean stood up from the chair.
It was a huge surprise.
He grabbed Roger’s collar and shouted, “Are you sure it’s true?”
After being caught by Sean, Roger felt that his breath almost stopped. He tried to say, “I was just guessing, or why did he delete… delete the surveillance videos of the hotel?”
Sean removed his hands and Roger coughed several times.
Yes, a good conscience is a soft pillow. There were only two purposes for Horace to delete the surveillance videos of the hotel. One was Clara, and the other was himself.
Then Sean sent people to investigate this thing carefully and warned them not to miss any details.
Roger was a little embarrassed. He said, “The witness can’t be found now. I get nothing on Horace.”
Sean began to worry, even afraid.
If the passer-by really saw Horace, then Horace deliberately hid the fact that his legs were not disabled? What was his purpose? Did Russell know about it?
Seeing that Sean showed a worried expression with knitted brows, he quickly asked, “Mr. Kirkland, how about we try the method ten years ago again? What do you think?”
Ten years ago, Horace was just a wolf, but now he was not only a wolf king, but also a beast. After being defeated once, Horace became stronger and difficult to deal with. Besides, Horace was on the alert to him. It was not that easy to get him.
Sean scolded, “Loser! Do you think it’s so easy to catch Horace now? He has Isaac beside him. Can you beat him? Isaac has never left Horace except sleeping.”
Roger felt ashamed of himself. It was true that he couldn’t compete with Isaac in martial arts, but he was smart.
He came up with an idea, “Mr. Kirkland, I mean… we can start with the women around Horace, such as his newly married wife, Clara. I think he likes her very much and wants to cherish her every day.”
Clara? He had seen her before, and his grandfather seemed to be on her side. He still remembered the video released that day. It seemed that this woman was not simple. Her background was mysterious. Judging from the video, he didn’t think Clara was a decent woman. However, she was different from others since she was favored by Horace.
He nodded and praised, “Well, well, well. You said something nice this time.”
Roger didn’t know how to respond to his praise. What he said before was not nice? Was it nonsense?
It was not until then that Sean understood what Roger meant. He urged, “Why are you still standing there? Go and get ready. If you complete this task, you will be rewarded handsomely.”
After receiving the order, Roger went out.
Horace, your secret is exposed. Your weakness is Clara. As long as I master these two weak points, Horace, your good days will come to an end.
Thinking of this, a cruel smile appeared on Sean’s face.
