Chapter 343 He’s Here for Hailey?
Karl didn’t return to the Magic Castle until dusk.
“Karl…”
When Hailey trotted downstairs to welcome Karl, she could not only feel the cold aura exuded by him but also smell blood.
When she looked into Karl’s scarlet red eyes, she was stunned by the hatred that filled them.
For a moment, she suddenly couldn’t ask anything but just silently walked forward to give him a hug.
She knew that no matter what Katherine had said during the interrogation, it would cut Karl to the quick.
“I’m fine.” Karl let go of Hailey and said in a hoarse voice, “I’ll go upstairs first.”
Hailey nodded.
Karl went back to his room to take a shower while Hailey went to the kitchen and heated some milk for him..
When Karl came out of the bathroom, the smell of blood had been gone, and he returned to his usual noble and elegant facade in his homey attire.
“This is for you,” said Hailey.
Karl frowned and said, “No. I’d rather drink some wine.”
With that, he was about to get the wine from the cabinet but was stopped by Hailey.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“No way! You got wet in the rain. It’ll be easy to catch a cold. Drink the milk to warm yourself up! Don’t drink any wine!” Hailey said. “If you have any objection, I’ll call Lily and ask her to talk with you.”
Thinking of Lily’s nagging, Karl had no choice but to compromise and gulp down the milk with a frown.
Hailey said with satisfaction, “Good boy!” as she handed him a glass of water, and he took it immediately.
After drinking the milk, Karl did feel much warmer.
Hailey looked Karl up and down. She didn’t expect him to tell her, so she asked, “So what’s going on? Did you get anything?”
Karl nodded as he held the glass, his fingertips turning white.
He didn’t tell Hailey what kind of method he had used, nor did he want her to know the process. He only told her the result. “She confessed. It was her who killed Sophia as an accomplice.”
His voice was hoarse as if it was extremely difficult for her to utter the word “Sophia.”
His Adam’s apple bobbed silently.
Hailey narrowed her eyes and asked, “Who is the mastermind?”
Karl raised his head, his blue eyes filled with resentment.
“John,” he said slowly, gritting his teeth.
Hailey’s heart skipped a beat.
It was him!
The hatred between them and John was so complicated that it was beyond ordinary people’s imagination.
He was more difficult to deal with than Roger.
Hailey knew that John had something to do with her parents’ death, but she never thought that even the death of Sophia was caused by him.
“What a bastard!” A wave of rage flooded over Hailey. “What the hell does he want?”
Except for John, the Ingram family had many enemies in Engese. John wanted to control the Ingram family, but neither Mr. Ingram nor Karl would be manipulated by him.
Therefore, John colluded with the force abroad to destroy the Ingram family and kill Karl, but at the critical moment, Sophia blocked the shot for Karl.
As it turned out, she died with the baby.
Since Sophia’s death, Karl had made another family disappear in Engese at all costs, and no one dared to mention it again. But unexpectedly, John had also been involved in the murder case that year.
“Karl, we can’t just sit still and wait,” Hailey said. “John is a madman. He can’t think and judge by common sense. Even if we do nothing, he won’t let us go. Why don’t we deal with him first.”
Karl remained as calm as ever. In fact, he had already thought clearly about what Hailey had said.
He had never been a man who would sit still and wait for death. Over the years, he had never stopped tracking John. In fact, his men had fought with John several times, but all of them had suffered serious injuries.
Originally, Karl didn’t want his brothers and sister to know about it, afraid that they would worry about him. He only hoped that all of them could live a normal life and stay safe and sound. Otherwise, Karl would feel ashamed when he met his mother after his time came.
But he was afraid he couldn’t make it this time.
The moment Karl learned the truth of Sophia’s death, he swore he would take revenge even if it meant he had to die with John.
He would definitely avenge his wife and baby!
“You are right,” Karl said in a deep voice. “I’ll get back at him for all the old and recent grudges!”
Owen had an appointment with Lucas for dinner d to talk about Roger.
However, at dusk, Lucas suddenly called and said, “Sorry, I’m afraid I can’t have dinner with you tonight. I have to work overtime.”
“All right. Then tomorrow,” Owen said and intended to hang up.
Lucas said, “Why don’t you ask me why I have to work overtime?”
“You’re a policeman. Isn’t it normal for you to work overtime?” Owen said causally but immediately perceived something wrong. He frowned and asked, “Does it have anything to do with Roger?”
“Just as I was about to say that you became dull after the craniotomy operation, you immediately realized it. Although you’re a little dull, you’re still a smart man.” Lucas chuckled.
“Cut the crap.” Owen didn’t want to waste his breath. “What’s going on? Is there any change in Roger’s case?”
“According to the internal confidential rules, I shouldn’t tell you about it, but… You’re my best friend.”
Lucas went on, “I’m going to pick up someone at The Nomad. Guess who it is.”
Owen snapped impatiently, “Don’t make me keep guessing, all right?”
“You’re being mean!” Lucas curled his lips with dissatisfaction and said, “I’m going to pick up the air force general of Traique. He’s also the second most powerful man in Traique. You know what? His parent is from Congland.”
Owen’s expression changed in an instant, and a mixed-blood came to his mind.
That man looked at him with his light gray eyes, shook hands with him, and said softly, “Don’t mention it! It’s my pleasure.”
“What a coincidence! Not long ago, this general of Traique became a hero because he saved more than 300 passengers, including your wife, in an air crash.” Lucas continued, “Oh, I made a mistake. Your ex-wife. So you must know who he is, right?”
Of course, Owen knew who he was.
He capped the pen with a “click” sound and called out a name slowly, “Saul.”
“It’s him. So he came to Poya for Roger? D-Did Hailey ask him to do that?” wondered Owen.
