Chapter 194 âWhy lie?â
Wes sighed. He knew John was still in love with Madam, but...
âSir, when was the last time you had a candlelight dinner with Madam?â
âWhatâs the matter? Are you blaming me for not spending time with her?â
John sneered and snubbed his cigarette. âHow did she treat me two years ago? She lied to me and betrayed me, and she never repented!â
âSir, thereâs been a lot of talk about you and Ms. Ellis these past two years. No woman in the world would tolerate her best friend betraying her with her husband.â
Seeing that John was drunk, Wes ventured to say, âWhatâs more, you werenât with Madam two years ago when she suffered a miscarriage. Sir, did it ever occur to you. that this was all a misunderstanding?â
John was silent. He did not know what was wrong with him.
He hated her so much, but he was always trying to defend her. Or he would not be checking her medicines.
âIs it really a misunderstanding?â
Just then, his phone rang.
âSir, Madam had gone to Willow City with Mr. Quinton. Do you want to follow them?â
Johnâs eyes were dark, and the veins of his hand were bulging as he held his glass.â How many people are there?â
âJust the two of them.â
Bang!
John kicked the coffee table so hard that all the bottles and cans on it fell to the floor.
After hanging up, he got up and glared coldly at Wes. âHa, youâre wrong. She and I have never had a misunderstanding!â
Three hours later, they were in Willow Cityâs Clear Springs.
It was said to be the last area where Ben was seen.
However, Clear Springs was not that big. They checked all the surveillance cameras, but there was no sign of Ben Oliviaâs heart clenched She did not have that much time.
It was cold, and the wind made Olivia shiver.
Not wanting her to catch a cold, Zac advised, âWait in the car. Iâll let you know as soon as I find anything.â
âNo, Iâll look for it with you. Clear Springs is too big. You and the surveillance cameras wonât be enough.â
If he wanted to hide, he would avoid the surveillance cameras.
Olivia took a few steps forward, peered into the back alley, and saw two people kicking a man on the ground.
âStop it. I wonât do it again. Please leave me alone. Donât take me to the police.â
âThe manâs voice...â
Although Ben only worked as a driver for the Larson family for a short time, Olivia paid more attention to him because he pursued Dorothy before.
The manâs voice was similar to Benâs, and it naturally caught her attention.
After thinking twice about it, Olivia spoke.
âStop it! Do you want to kill him?â
The two men turned around and looked at her fiercely. âWhatâs the matter? Do you know him? He just stole something from the store. Are you going to pay for him?â
âHow much is it? Iâll pay.â
âTwenty thousand dollars! Not only did he steal food but also my gold watch!â
Olivia frowned and glanced at the man on the floor.
He was in rags, unkempt, and bleeding so much from the beating that she could not see his face.
Suddenly, a voice overhead rang. âWilbur, take these two to the police station!â
âYes!â
The two men quickly backed down and ran away.
Zac stood behind her and whispered, âIs this Ben?â
Wilbur scooped the man up from the ground. Olivia took a closer look and was still unable to tell. She pressed her lips together and called, âBen?â
The manâs expression changed as he wanted to escape immediately, but Wilbur caught him.
âLiv, letâs go back to the hotel. Itâs too cold outside.â
This time, Olivia did not say no. Her pale lips said, âOkay.â
She trembled at the thought of this man as a key witness.
How did things end up like this?
