Chapter 611
Everleigh wanted to say something more, but Theodore stopped her. Looking up at the empty room on the balcony, his gaze dimmed a little.
"Let's go."
"But..."
"I believe that Derick will come out. This is someone else's house. We can't cause trouble here," he said in a low voice but his gaze fell on the butler.
The butler didn't seem to be afraid of him. Instead, he stared back at Theodore.
Seeing this, she had no choice but to give up. She turned around and left with him.
When they walked out of the entrance, they heard the cold voice of the butler behind them. "Close the door."
With a 'bang', the door was tightly shut again, as though it had never been opened.
Lincoln and the other two men came over. When they saw that the two had failed, they became a little curious. "Are they not willing to hand him over?" "Yes." Everleigh nodded in disappointment.
They came a long way for nothing this time.
Theodore, on the other hand, had a gloomy expression on his face. His heart was constantly filled with suspicion. He definitely knew what was going on earlier.
"Should we call the police? Derick's identity is special after all." The people behind him suddenly proposed.
"We know that he is a powerful person at first sight. If we call the police, who knows what will happen?" Everleigh said seriously, turning around and looking at the villa in front of her.
Lincoln pushed the glasses on his face upwards and glanced at the building in front of him. He thought for a moment and said, "In this case, we'll continue to stay here and observe them. You can head home first. When we really catch him, I'll call you."
Everleigh and Theodore looked at each other. They didn't have any objections. After that day's incident, it would be hard to catch him again.
No matter how silly Derick was, he knew that as long as he walked out of that door, anyone could capture him. By then, his only option was death.
"Alright."
"Let's go. Their people will be on their guard. If we stay behind, we won't be able to do anything,"
Lincoln suggested.
Theodore nodded. They got in the car and left.
After returning to the hotel, Everleigh laid down on the bed to rest, thinking about what had just happened. She didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Theodore and Lincoln chatted for a while before returning to their room to rest. Lying on the bed with Everleigh in his arms, he said softly, "Don't worry. Since we've found him, there must be a clue. Well get him."
"I understand." She turned around and hugged him as she spoke, the disappointment in her eyes growing heavier.
She thought that it would be easy to resolve the matter if they found Derick. However, she never thought that there would be such trouble.
The person in the villa was obviously there to protect him. How could a thug like Derick have such strong support?
She couldn't figure it out.
Theodore stretched out his hand and stroked her hair gently. He took a deep breath and said, "I know what you're thinking. I'll investigate the people in that villa thoroughly and see who they are and what they're up to." "Theodore, what I'm really afraid of is whether Derick will die or not. Will Wilson kill everyone?" Thinking of this, Everleigh couldn't help trembling all over. She had seen Wilson's dirty ways of doing things a long time ago.
She knew that she was not a saint and did not have any pity for them. She just wanted these people to be punished by the law.
His arms tensed and said in a low voice, "No, I won't let this happen."
Regardless of whether Wilson could find Derick or not, the fact that the villa he went in would not allow strangers to enter was strange enough. Derick had found himself back up there. At least no one would kill him for the time being.
She held him tightly. She felt fear taking over her body, making her feel chills all over.
After some time, she finally fell asleep. He stroked her face before getting up, and he called Moses.
"Mr. Godfrey."
"I'll send you an address. Look into the identity of the person in this house," he instructed in a cold tone.
Moses nodded in understanding. After hanging up the phone, he received Theodore's message.
At this time in the villa at Haviden City, Derick was sitting on a chair, feeling a bit lost. His face was full of fear as he looked at the person in front of
him.
"Why don't you listen to us? Do you have a death wish?"
"No... I won't do it again. I'll stay in this house quietly." Derick's face was full of horror.
"Remember, you're lucky this time. Next time, you won't be able to walk in alive."
"Yes, yes... I know I screwed up." Derick looked at the elder in front of him. Although her appearance seemed kind, her words were ruthless.
"Hmph." The old woman snorted and walked out, holding onto her walking stick. She didn't even bother to look at him.
Seeing her leave, he breathed a sigh of relief after the door closed. He swore that he really would not leave again. Since that woman had found him, nothing good would happen.
Everleigh and Theodore returned to Ocpeace City, and handed over their affairs in Haviden City to Lincoln.
He told Christopher about what had happened there. They were good friends, after all, so he should know about this matter.
Christopher told him to keep an eye on it. There had to be something fishy going on.
"Miss Trevino also suspected that there was something wrong. I've been investigating it," Lincoln explained.
Christopher sighed softly, "Lincoln, I really want to thank you for this matter. When it's over, I'll treat you to a good meal."
Lincoln laughed out loud. "Do you think I'm still the same person who couldn't afford to eat?"
"You're wrong. We're friends, aren't we? Do I have to be so tacky as to offer you money?" Christopher teased.
Lincoln smiled and said nothing, then he said slowly, "Don't worry, since I gave you my word on this matter, I will definitely handle it well for you. However, I have fought with them, and their skills are similar to mine. They could be retired soldiers, so it'll be a bit difficult for us."
Christopher was silent for a moment. "As long as we can find Derick, you don't have to take too much risk."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Lincoln would not allow his own friend to take the risk. Besides, it was still unknown if Derick would be able to come out.
Everleigh didn't return to the Trevino family home. Instead, she went straight to Theodore's house. The main reason was that she was exhausted and she didn't want to have to go back and forth.
Theodore was tired of driving too so it was better for him to rest earlier. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Take a rest. You don't have to rush to the hospital tomorrow."
She nodded and understood what he meant. To put it bluntly, since he had donated medical equipment, why should she go to work so early in the morning?
The next day, she woke up early. There was no way to change her body clock.
When Theodore woke up, he realized that she wasn't in bed.
