Chapter 287 Death of the Criminals
Cameron turned more serious as he stepped closer to her, staring at the name on the phone screen. “If you don’t want to answer, then don’t.”
“Why shouldn’t I answer?” Aurora snorted coldly, her eyes like a harsh winter. She wanted to know how he was going to explain this situation.
Sion held the phone for a while before finally getting through.
“Auro…”
“Sion! I can’t believe how malicious you are! You caught those three criminals and didn’t tell me or give them over to the police?!”
Before Sion could respond, an angry voice came from the other end of the line.
Sion wasn’t sure what was going on but instinctively tried explaining himself. “I didn’t tell you because I thought it would worry you. I planned on telling you everything once we had all of the facts.”
“And then?” Aurora’s tone was terrible. “And now they’ve all escaped!”
Sighing heavily, Sion called her with questions about those three criminals, including why they were outside the T-Shine building in the first place. But now it appeared that Aurora had found out about his hiding people and rushed over there herself.
He didn’t have time for further thoughts; he needed to explain himself first.
“I put trackers on them originally but they took off their clothes and ran away with the help from someone else.”
Aurora’s heart sank when she heard this news. What Sion meant was that there was someone behind them. If it was not Sion, then it might be Nevaeh.
But thinking back on all of Sion’s complicated affairs including whether or not he worked with Nevaeh made things unclear, so she didn’t directly tell him anything yet.
She held onto her anger and gnashed, “That still doesn’t change your problem!”
Sion couldn’t understand her anger.
Just because they kidnapped Morgan?
At this moment, he had an inexplicable feeling that something more complex happened between those three thugs and Aurora than just what met his eye earlier.
“Aurora,” He asked hesitantly, “Do you know them?”
Aurora froze upon hearing his question but forced herself to speak up, “You care about Morgan. Can’t I care too?”
“If their escape is your fault then go find them instead of arguing with me here.” Said she.
After finishing her sentence, Aurora hung up the phone with a loud snap.
“Men are such jerks!” she muttered under her breath as if complaining to a significant other during an argument.
Cameron stood by and observed every small expression on her face. In an instant, he became icy cold.
“Aurora cares that much about that guy?” he thought to himself.
Meanwhile, Karen was talking to someone at the Hayward family’s villa.
“You guys can stay in these two rooms. Nevaeh said she’ll come over when she has time and take you back then.”
Karen was annoyed. She received a sudden call from Nevaeh saying that her distant cousin had come to seek refuge and asked for help taking care of him. Nevaeh even sent him directly to Karen’s workplace.
Jeff surveyed the environment inside the villa with his sharp eyes before glancing at the women in front of him. After a moment’s pause, he smiled and said, “Got it. Thank you for your help.”
However, Jeff couldn’t understand why Nevaeh didn’t just send them away, instead, she asked them to be accommodated here in this woman’s house.
“No, a problem,” Karen replied awkwardly as Jeff’s gaze made her feel uncomfortable all over. Although she tried hard to restrain herself, there was still disgust in her eyes when looking at them.
She kind of suspected the identities of these three people. Although their clothes looked clean and new, the exposed wounds on their bodies appeared as if they had been involved in fights before.
Karen shifted her gaze away from them; it felt like an insult to herself just looking at them again. “Try your best not to wander around outside the rooms; if someone sees you…”
“If they tell my parents, you won’t be able to continue staying here.” This reason sounded reasonable enough, even if they told Nevaeh about it, there would be no way for her to pick holes out of it either way.
Hulk and Tan exchanged a glance, knowing the deep meaning behind her words.
Jeff sneered while maintaining a normal expression on his face, “Don’t worry about us causing any trouble for you, Ms Hayward.”
At the same time, the three of them were sizing her up, with unfriendly looks.
Karen felt uneasy under their gazes so she turned around without another word or glance towards them.
Nevaeh called and made plans to meet up with them in the evening.
Although it was nighttime, she wore sunglasses and almost couldn’t be recognized by them when they saw her arrive.
“Why are you covering up so tightly on such a late night?”
Jeff had a piece of grass in his mouth and his hands were tucked into his pockets.
The eyebrows under Nevaeh’s sunglasses furrowed together as she scanned them up and down with undisguised disdain. She spoke, “Since you’re staying at Karen’s place now, don’t act recklessly and cause her trouble.”
“Why don’t you send us away?” Jeff looked at her suspiciously, wondering what this woman was up to.
“It’s arranged.”
A fierce determination flashed in her cold eyes, but it was completely hidden behind the sunglasses, and the three people in front of her couldn’t see it.
Nevaeh opened her bag and took out a box from inside.
“This is a highly effective anti-inflammatory medicine. If you leave your wounds as they are, they will heal too slowly. It’s also risky to let people see them and arouse suspicion.”
Tan and Hulk both leaned in to take a look.
It was not strange for Nevaeh, who was a doctor, to get some miracle drugs. Later, Jeff, Hulk and Tan picked up the pills and swallowed them with the slightest hesitation.
“Give us the rest of them.” Asked Jeff.
An inconspicuous smile hovered on Nevaeh’s lips, and her voice sounded eerie as she said, “Here you go.”
After a while, she looked at the three people lying on the ground without any emotion in her eyes.
“You won’t need them anyway.”
Nevaeh looked around and then pushed them into the lake, which consumed a lot of energy. With that done, Neveah put on a sly smile while looking at the rippling lake’s surface.
Now, who could know what she had done?
Karen was extremely thirsty and went downstairs to get some water. As she walked by, she noticed that the door to a room on the first floor was wide open.
She walked over and saw that there was no one in either of the two rooms.
Where had Nevaeh’s three distant cousins gone?
Did they leave on their own?
She felt a bit puzzled, but she didn’t like them in the first place, so it didn’t matter if they left. She shrugged and left without paying much attention to them.
