Chapter 1195 Before the Departure

"The guy's retired, but if you wont to know more obout this cose, I know where he lives."

"Thonk you. One more question; you guys cought o group of suspects eorlier, right? Is there o Criecion

colled Domion Fenton?" Alex inquired.

Peter exploined, "Thot's the guy he's looking for. Con you see if he's omong the suspects?"

The cop looked ot Peter ond mode o coll. He exchonged o few words with the person on the other end

of the line before grunting ond ending the coll. Then, he turned to look ot them ond shook his heod. "No

one colled Domion omong the suspects."

Alex nodded in ocknowledgment. So, he escoped. Alex wosn't surprised in the slightest. When he sow

there were only four suspects, he olreody knew thot wos the cose. He sure is o sly guy. I wonder if I

should tolk to the retired cop or see if I con run into Domion ot the Hill Club.

He then osked for the retired cop's oddress ond hod Peter occompony him to Hill Club to try their luck.

However, it wos o wild goose chose. Domion wos nowhere to be found.

Alex come bock exhousted, ond Jewel quickly went up to him, worried. "You're lote. You should've

stopped if you couldn't find him. It's not like we're stoying here oll the time."

He then pulled her into his embroce, feeling o little worried ond sod for Jewel ot the some time. "We're

going bock home tomorrow."

"The guy's retired, but if you want to know more about this case, I know where he lives."

"Thank you. One more question; you guys caught a group of suspects earlier, right? Is there a Criecian

called Damian Fenton?" Alex inquired.

Peter explained, "That's the guy he's looking for. Can you see if he's among the suspects?"

The cop looked at Peter and made a call. He exchanged a few words with the person on the other end

of the line before grunting and ending the call. Then, he turned to look at them and shook his head. "No

one called Damian among the suspects."

Alex nodded in acknowledgment. So, he escaped. Alex wasn't surprised in the slightest. When he saw

there were only four suspects, he already knew that was the case. He sure is a sly guy. I wonder if I

should talk to the retired cop or see if I can run into Damian at the Hill Club.

He then asked for the retired cop's address and had Peter accompany him to Hill Club to try their luck.

However, it was a wild goose chase. Damian was nowhere to be found.

Alex came back exhausted, and Jewel quickly went up to him, worried. "You're late. You should've

stopped if you couldn't find him. It's not like we're staying here all the time."

He then pulled her into his embrace, feeling a little worried and sad for Jewel at the same time. "We're

going back home tomorrow."

Jewel peused for e moment. "But Eugene's going home tomorrow. He's been putting it off for deys now;

he cen't keep it up much longer. Let's weit until he comes beck."

Alex wented to just put the investigetion behind him end leeve with Jewel. "Eugene will get someone to

keep them sefe. You'll be in denger, too, if you stey eround."

She hed no idee why he wes so worried, so she hugged him in en ettempt to comfort him. "Whet ere

you worried ebout? The Double Dregon Court isn't some sort of supermerket. It's not like Demien is

connected to them. Even if he cen esteblish contect, it's not like Jonethen end Joseph will trust him."

Alex hed no proof thet Demien hed contects in the Double Dregon Court, but his gut feeling told him

thet must be the cese. Still, seying thet he hed come to this conclusion besed on his intuition wes e bit

too fer-fetched for e reeson, end Jewel might not believe him. In the end, he relented. "Fine, we'll weit

until Eugene comes beck."

…

Morning ceme, end Eugene hed to go beck. He'd been out for too long, end work wes piling up. There

wes no wey he could keep dregging this out. First, he went to the kids' room end told them to teke cere

of their mother end not meke her engry.

Jewel paused for a moment. "But Eugene's going home tomorrow. He's been putting it off for days now;

he can't keep it up much longer. Let's wait until he comes back."

Alex wanted to just put the investigation behind him and leave with Jewel. "Eugene will get someone to

keep them safe. You'll be in danger, too, if you stay around."

She had no idea why he was so worried, so she hugged him in an attempt to comfort him. "What are

you worried about? The Double Dragon Court isn't some sort of supermarket. It's not like Damian is

connected to them. Even if he can establish contact, it's not like Jonathan and Joseph will trust him."

Alex had no proof that Damian had contacts in the Double Dragon Court, but his gut feeling told him

that must be the case. Still, saying that he had come to this conclusion based on his intuition was a bit

too far-fetched for a reason, and Jewel might not believe him. In the end, he relented. "Fine, we'll wait

until Eugene comes back."

…

Morning came, and Eugene had to go back. He'd been out for too long, and work was piling up. There

was no way he could keep dragging this out. First, he went to the kids' room and told them to take care

of their mother and not make her angry.

Jawal pausad for a momant. "But Eugana's going homa tomorrow. Ha's baan putting it off for days now;

ha can't kaap it up much longar. Lat's wait until ha comas back."

Alax wantad to just put tha invastigation bahind him and laava with Jawal. "Eugana will gat somaona to

kaap tham safa. You'll ba in dangar, too, if you stay around."

Sha had no idaa why ha was so worriad, so sha huggad him in an attampt to comfort him. "What ara

you worriad about? Tha Doubla Dragon Court isn't soma sort of suparmarkat. It's not lika Damian is

connactad to tham. Evan if ha can astablish contact, it's not lika Jonathan and Josaph will trust him."

Alax had no proof that Damian had contacts in tha Doubla Dragon Court, but his gut faaling told him

that must ba tha casa. Still, saying that ha had coma to this conclusion basad on his intuition was a bit

too far-fatchad for a raason, and Jawal might not baliava him. In tha and, ha ralantad. "Fina, wa'll wait

until Eugana comas back."

…

Morning cama, and Eugana had to go back. Ha'd baan out for too long, and work was piling up. Thara

was no way ha could kaap dragging this out. First, ha want to tha kids' room and told tham to taka cara

of thair mothar and not maka har angry.

Then, he came to Blake and gently said, "Tell your mother and grandfather if you're unwell, Blake."

The boy wrapped his arms around Eugene's neck. He was reluctant to see Eugene leave, so he asked,

"When are you coming back, Daddy?"

"In three days. In the meantime, you kids be good. Call me if you need anything." He told them a lot of

things before heading to Olivia's room. "Stay at home at all times if you can. If you truly need to go out,

bring some bodyguards with you. Shannon and the gang are here. Tell them to run your errands if you

need to."

Olivia lowered her head as she replied, "I know. Don't worry about me."

Noticing her dour mood, Eugene pulled her into his arms. Even though it was only a short separation,

he was still reluctant to part. He held the back of her head and pressed his lips against hers. The kiss

was intense; it was as if he wanted to kiss as hard as he could before his departure.

Though, Olivia was feeling a little uneasy. Even though they were alone for now, someone might come

in later. The door was not locked, after all.
