Chapter 923
Trapped in Love
After that, Thomas promptly returned to his car and settled into the driverâs seat in a trance.
He pondered on the identity of the individuals and whether they belonged to Scottâs entourage.
Inexplicable terror gripped his heart, though he reassured himself that Greta, Caroline, and the children were safe.
Otherwise, the bodyguards wouldnât be stationed at the door..
However, the perplexing aspect was why they needed to remain there, and Thomas questioned whether involving the police was necessary.
After a brief moment of contemplation, he decided to contact Evan to discuss the unfolding situation, only to discover that Evanâs phone was switched off.
Frowning, he retrieved Reubenâs contact information, which he had saved previously.
Reuben answered the call, leaving Thomas baffled, âMr.
Xander=â Thomas cut him off.
âIs Evan with you, Reuben?â After a pause, Reuben detailed the events that transpired in Muricia.
After processing the shocking information, Thomas found it challenging to snap back to reality.
He couldnât comprehend why Scott displayed such cruelty, seemingly targeting everyone.
Suppressing his pain and indignation, Thomas said, âUnderstood.â âWhy did you call me, Mr.
Xander?â Thomas explained the unsettling scene he had witnessed.
A moment of silence passed before Reuben spoke.
âYou can seek assistance from Mr.
Price and Mr.
Jensen if you donât mind.
I need someone to manage Mr.
Jordanâs company in the country.
Iâm currently in Muricia and unable to leave at the momentâ¦â âOkay, text me their contact numbers.â
âWill do,â Reuben promised.
After ending the call, Reuben swiftly fulfilled his promise, and Thomas contacted Alex.
Alex answered after a brief delay.
âHello?â âIâm Thomas Xander, Carolâs uncle.â Stunned, Alex said, âOh, Mr.
Xander.
Iâve read the news.
Did they find Neil?â The mention of Neil brought forth pain for Thomas, which he managed to suppress.
âDo you have a minute to spare, Alex? Letâs meet up.
Iâve got something to say to you.â Thomas and Alex met at a cafe near the hospital 20 minutes later.
Alex almost failed to recognize Thomas upon seeing him.
Thomas had stubble and dark circles under his eyes as if he hadnât slept for days.
His hair was disheveled, and his clothes were dirty and wrinkled.
Alex looked at Thomas with a complex expression.
âYou should rest more, Mr.
Xander.â Thomas shook his head and replied, âI donât have the time and energy for that.
Evan has had an accident.â âAccident?â Alex blinked in confusion.
What accident? What happened to him?â Thomas looked at Alex.
âThe helicopter he was in exploded.â Alexâs hand trembled as he reached for a cup of water.
Gradually, he narrowed his eyes, lips twitching.
âYou canât make such a joke.â this isnât a joke.â Thomas leaned forward, covering his face in pain.
âKenny is dead, and Neil is missing.
My wife, Caroline, and her kids are confined in the hospital.
Iâm at the end of my rope now.â The news hit Alex like a sledgehammerâhe couldnât believe his ears.
After all, Evan had proven resilient, surviving numerous hospitalizations and personal struggles for Caroline.
Alex couldnât fathom how a helicopter ride could lead to Evanâs demise.
The disbelief gripped him as he looked at the phone on the table.
Reacting quickly, he called Reuben for confirmation.
Thomas didnât intervene as Alex conversed with Reuben over the phone.
