Chapter 935
Trapped in Love
In a daze, Reuben witnessed Julianâs death before him.
His body grew heavier with each passing second, and he struggled to drag his feet toward Julian.
Elvira glanced at Scott nearby, and he nodded slightly.
Reuben approached Julian, sinking to his knees.
Julian lay in a pool of blood.
Tears welled up in Reubenâs eyes.
He raised his shaky hands and placed them on Julianâs lifeless, widened eyes.
He gnashed his teeth and assisted Julian in closing his eyes, all the while keeping his head low, crying.
âIâm sorry⦠Iâm so sorry, Julian!â Kneeling there, he didnât cease his repentance.
At that moment, someone opened the office door.
Rowan entered, and the tragic scene made him pale.
Scott tilted his head and looked at Rowan.
âDid you manage to get everyone here?â Rowan suppressed his anger and replied.
âYes, Mr. Hendrix.â Reuben turned his head slowly toward Rowan, Rowan awkwardly looked away.
A low snort escaped Reuben.
It turned out they had made the right guess.
Scott rose to his feet and glanced at Reuben indifferently.
âYou should come along and get things done.
with me.â He walked out of the office, with Elvira following.
After a few seconds, Reuben stood up in a trance, behaving like a puppet as he exited the office.
While brushing past Rowan, the latter grabbed Reubenâs arm and asked in a low voice, âAre you going to work for him, Reuben? Are you out of your mind?â Reuben laughed coldly.
âWhy canât I, since youâve done something you shouldnât?â âI was forcedââ Reuben ignored Rowan, freed his arm, and caught up with Scott.
Rowan had no choice but to follow them.
Alex and Lucas paced restlessly in the hotel.
Paige was sitting nearby, hugging her knees and staring As noon approached and Reuben had yet to call, Lucas grew more vexed.
âDid something happen to Reuben and Julian?â he asked.
Alex pinched his brows.
âI donât know!â âI think Scott must have come, or else Reuben would have called or texted us already,â
Lucas speculated.
Their conversation made Paige slowly lift her head.
âWhat is Scott doing here?â Alex explained.
âWe guess heâs going to snatch all of Evanâs business and properties.â Paige scoffed, âWhat an absolute demon.â âNo! Iâve got to go to the company to get some clues, Lucas said with frustration.
Alex frowned.
âArenât you going to call your father?â Lucas was stunned as he realized what he should do.
âYeah, Iâll ask him to get his men to look things up here.â After that, he went out to make a call.
Alex locked at Paige and sat down beside her.
Paige immediately said, âPlease donât mention our problem, Alex.â Alex took a deep breath and replied, âOkay, weâll wait until these things are over.â Paige nodded.
âHave you tried calling Carol?â âNo, Iâm sure she doesnât have her phone with her,â Alex explained.
Downcast, Paige asked, âHave you ever thought of how to rescue her?â Alex exhaled.
âWe havenât managed to come to that part yet, but the possibility of rescuing her is very slim as long as Scott is still alive.â Paige grabbed Alexâs hand.
âDo you need me to do anything? Iâll do anything as long as I can help you.

I donât want to see you in danger.â Paige felt remorseful because she couldnât help at all.
She retrieved her hand and stopped talking.
Lucas came back very fast and said, âMy dad has agreed to help look for Evan.
