Chapter 475
The man watched with satisfaction as Valerie collapsed. He quickly retrieved his phone from her and placed a call âSir, I found that woman in
lown
The man on the other end of the line said something that immediately surprised him. âSir, are we really going to do this?â
He turned around and glanced at Valerie lying in the back seat of the car. Then, a bloodthirsty sneer spread across his lips. âDonât worry, Iâll handle it right away!
After ending the call, he hit the gas and drove off. The shop assistant paid little mind as she saw the car leave. Soon, the town settled back into its usual calm.
About half an hour later. Matthew and his men arrived in town, chasing after her
Using surveillance cameras along the route, they located the abandoned electric scooter in the small town. Following the clues, Matthew and his team split up to search. After a while, they found Ruth lying near a dilapidated house by the roadside.
Charles and the others were ecstatic. They dialed Matthew immediately. âMr. Grant, weâve found Ruth! But Ethan is nowhere to be found!
On the other end of the line, Matthew ordered tersely, Interrogate her! Do whatever
His expression darkened. When it came to Valerie, he knew he had to resort to force.
Lakes.
Ruth was startled awake by a splash of water. When she saw the room filled with burly men dressed in black, fear made her tremble. Confused and frightened, she hastily pulled out money from her pocket. Iâll give you everything I have. I donât know anything. Please donât hurt me!â
Seeing her in that state. Charleyâs expression turned disdainful. Whereâs your husband and Miss Warren? Where did they go
It was only then that Ruth realized they were looking for Valerie. Overwhelmed with fear about her involvement with Ethan, she quickly shook her head. âIâI donât know!â
Ruth and Ethan had come close to selling Valerie. If she confessed now, it would be as if she didnât care if she lived anymore.
However, she hadnât anticipated that staying silent wouldnât improve her situation either.
âYouâre not talking?â Charles said, pressing a dagger against her cheek. He sneered, dragging the blade slowly across her face. âYouâre not telling me? Seems like you donât care about your face anymore. Are you worried IT slice it up and dump you in the pond?â
Ruth screamed in terror, Valerie had already scared her half to death. After Charles gestured menacingly, her entire body went limp.
âTâ1 really donât know anything. That girl Valerie sold Ethan and even attacked me, the answered.
âSold! Where did Valerie go?â A deep, cold voice echoed from outside. Then, the door swung open and a call figure strode in.
The
moment she s
saw Matthew, Ruth was so terrified that she lost control and wet herself. She hurriedly dropped to the ground, kneeling before him. âSir, I swear I didnât know anything. Valerie hit me and knocked me out. Look at this big wound on my head, itâs still bleeding. I blacked out and didnât know a thing. Please believe me.â
Mathew glanced at her with a sneer. âShe sold Ellant How could such a weak woman manage that? You two are in cahoots. I bet you want to sell Valerie too, huh? Since you donât know anything, youâre incless.â
Charles moved closer and made a throatâslitting gesture, Ruth, overcome with fear, screamed and cried out, âNo, I really donât know! Sir, look, the money is all here. Iâll give it to you! Itâs from selling Elluan. Please take it all!â
Seeing that the group clearly didnât believe her, Ruth was terrified, struggling to catch her breath. She was covered in snot and tears, deeply regretting her actions.
âI shouldnât have listened to Etlun. I know I was wrong. I shouldnât have treated Valerie like that, making her sick with fever. But what i said is true, She really knocked me out and ran away. I swear, if Iâm lying, may I have no peace in my life. Iâll have my son turn away from ine, leaving me with no one to rely on
When he heard Ruth swear and bring her son to it, Matthew frowned. She shouldnât be lying now. His heart raced briefly, then sank again. These people wanted to sell Valerie, but they ended up being sold by Valerie instead.
She was really sharp. But where could she possibly go now!
âDid v
1 you get any calls for help?â Mantlew asked.
âNo,â Charles responded, noticing Mathewâs concerned expression, and quickly tried to reassure him. âSir, Mrs. Grant is really smart. She might be holed up somewhere safe, keeping a low profile. Probably hiding How about we split up and search around?â

Charles gestured to everyone and was about to ask them to continue searching.
Charles motioned for everyone to keep searching, but Matthew raised his hand, signaling him to wait.
âSlow down.â He gestured for everyone to stay quiet, then stood up and began pacing around the dilapidated house.
What he knew for sure now was that Valerie had left after knocking out Ruth. He imagined her condition at that momentâphysically exhausted and mentally drained. She might even be injured, and it seemed she didnât have a phone on her.
Under normal circumstances, sheâd have sought help in a crowded place, potentially leaving behind clues.
As he thought it over, he circled the dilapidated house and carefully surveyed the area. Sure enough, on the road nearby, he spotted bloodstains and footprints not far away.
