Chapter 163: Chapter 163

Sawyer was exceptionally good at reading other people. He knew everything—from their needs and desires to their fears and phobias.

And he would use the knowledge to manipulate and make people do what he wanted without the slightest hesitation.

Take the manager, for example. He listens to me and accedes to my request without a second thought.

My gut feeling has never been wrong, and I believe it’ll never be wrong. After all, this is what I’ve always been most proud of, besides my wealthy background.

That had been the case until Casper showed up in his life and ruined his prized possession.

Casper had infuriated him to the core, and Sawyer swore to make him pay for it.

As for Giselle, even though she’s offended me before, I can forgive and forget her misbehavior because I genuinely like her.

However, if she persists in mistreating me obstinately, I’ll have to be rough on her then.

There are many ways to have women by my side, and I’ve chosen the most difficult one to get her.

If she really defy me again, I’m more than happy to take a shortcut.

A baleful smile tugged at his lips as a sinister plan formed in his mind.

The next day, after Casper attended all of his classes for the day, it suddenly dawned on him that it had been a few days since he had gone to meet Amelia.

Feeling guilty and ashamed, he immediately went to the cafeteria to buy a meal and sprinted toward their usual meeting place.

He waited for almost an hour, but she did not show up. Left with no other choice, he dialed her number.

However, no one picked up the call.

Casper frowned. She always answers my calls. Is she held up with something? I hope nothing serious has happened to her.

With such thought in mind, he decided to call her again, but still, it was never picked up.

Unsettled, he immediately ran to the places she might possibly go, such as classrooms and library, and asked around for her whereabouts.

What he found was shocking.

Amelia had not been attending classes for days, and no one knew the exact reason why she was absent.

After all, she was somewhat an outcast on the campus, so very few of her classmates took notice of her.

Nevertheless, judging from the weirded-out expressions of the surrounding people, Casper thought that perhaps it was because of him that they refused to tell him the truth.

He let out a sigh, dejected. Seeing that none of the people here had any news of Amelia, he realized the only way to reach her was to call her.

On that note, he fished out his phone and dialed her number once again.

To his surprise, the call was answered this time. Phew, at least she has picked up my call now.

Unfortunately, the one who answered the call was not Amelia; it was an unfamiliar, male voice that came from the other side of the line.

He sounded like a teenager who was still going through voice breaking during puberty. “Why are you calling Amelia?”

Casper raised an eyebrow quizzically, wondering the identity of the guy. Is he her relative? Or younger brother? With that croaking voice, I don’t think he is her boyfriend.

Just as the thought crossed Casper’s mind, the teenager said, “Amelia is my girlfriend. If you’re calling to ask her out, you should give up now! I’ll never let you have her!”

Casper chuckled in amusement. Does he know how old he is? How can he be her boyfriend?

Having no mood to entertain a kid, he cut to the chase. “Where is Amelia?”

When the adolescent heard his words, he became enraged instantly. “I said, Amelia is my girlfriend!

Are you deaf?”

“Listen, I’m not her boyfriend, and I’m just calling because I want to talk with her. As her boyfriend, are you going to meddle in such trivial matters as well?” Casper shot back sharply.

The teenager went silent at that. After a long while, he finally replied, “Amelia is not around.” There was a hint of impatience and contempt in his voice.

With that, he hung up.

The boy acted like he would pay no mind to the caller, as long as the caller was not Amelia’s boyfriend or was romantically interested in her. Or perhaps it was all a game to him.

The idea made Casper feel uneasy as he started to have a bad feeling about the situation she was in.

Where on earth is Amelia? This kid must be her younger brother or her cousin, so does that mean that she has gone back home? Why did she stop attending classes all of a sudden? What was her reason for doing so?

Numerous questions formed and hovered in his mind, causing him even more restless.

Just then, another call came in.

“Hi. Is this Casper?” Robin’s voice rang.

“Yes, I am. Have you made up your mind?” Casper replied.

“I’ve made my decision.” Robin took a deep breath, bracing himself. “Can I stay with Firewolf Chamber?”

Casper was thrilled beyond words. On the one hand, he fervently hoped that Robin would remain with the organization as his subordinate, but on the other hand, he knew that it was a difficult decision for Robin to make.

That was why he had not expected Robin to come to a decision so quickly and even gave Casper the answer he longed to hear.

Despite that, Casper was a tad curious as well. “What makes you arrive at that decision all of a sudden?”

“It was Hector,” Robin answered frankly, heavy-hearted.

Knowing how much Hector meant to Robin, Casper opted not to say anything because any words of solace at the moment would sound bleak and empty for Robin.

Time is the best healer ultimately.

“Okay. I understand. When would you be available to drop by Buddy Internet Cafe? When you arrive there, get someone named Stallion to notify me, and I’ll be there to meet you in no time.”

Robin nodded in response, but he suddenly realized that they were on a call, so naturally, Casper could not catch his reply. Therefore, he quickly muttered, “Yes.” After a fleeting moment of silence, he added, “Will Firewolf Chamber of Commerce still be at Buddy Internet Cafe?”

Casper mulled over it for a while. “What do you and the others think? If the place reminds you guys of the sad past, we’ll move then.”

“No,” Robin quickly denied. “Firewolf Chamber has always been at Buddy Internet Cafe, and it was also the fruits of our blood, sweat, and tears. Besides, it was secluded, so there is a lower risk of being located by others. Therefore, I think it’s better to stay where we are now.”

Casper agreed with him. Had it not been for Silas, he would not have found the location of Firewolf Chamber of Commerce in the first place. “Sure. If so, we’ll remain at Buddy Internet Cafe then.”

“Thank you!” Robin nodded enthusiastically, clearly overjoyed.
