Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 478 She’s Still Alive?!

Ryan’s face turned red as he coughed violently. He couldn’t even sit still, so he leaned on Wayne’s shoulder.

Wayne seemed annoyed and moved his head away. “You’re spitting coffee all over me!” He said to Ryan in disgust.

Then Anna asked with a blank expression on her face, “Tell me, what are you two hiding from me?”

Ryan looked at Wayne again as if he wasn’t sure what to say. Wayne took off his jacket that was stained with coffee and loosened his tie. He pondered over it briefly and decided there was no point in keeping it from Anna.

“I sent Tammy and Matthew abroad to keep them both safe. In fact, Ryan just found out something.” Wayne said.

Ryan, tell me about it,” Anna said calmly.

Ryan wore a solemn expression and said, “Remember that tattoo | told you about? | traveled to Ireland to get more information, and | also learned something from the local police. This organization vanished at the time due to internal conflicts. Their boss was apprehended on the spot, but an important member remains at large.”

“and?” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“This person is a crucial piece of information. She was that boss’s girlfriend, and they had been dating for five years. With the help of this woman, he rose to the position of local drug lord. These drugs were most likely once owned by Dragon.”

“What exactly do you mean?” Anna had begun to frown by this point. ATT She’s Still Alive?! She felt a chill running down her spine and she clenched her fists subconsciously.

When she heard Dragon’s name, she was caught off guard. Anna immediately conjured up some perplexing and frightening images.

Ryan closed his mouth when he noticed Anna’s face turning pale. He wanted to continue but wasn’t sure if he should. So, Ryan cast a hesitant glance at Wayne.

Leaning forward, Wayne firmly placed his warm palm on Anna’s hand as he knew Anna was nervous. Taking a deep breath, he added, “A fire broke out on the island five years ago, and killed a number of people, including Dragon. A female corpse was also discovered on the island.

Forensics compared the deceased’s DNA to the database and identified that she was Lily Johnson.”

As she listened to his words, Anna became increasingly nervous. “You mean Adais still alive?!” Anna shouted in disbelief.

Ryan nodded and said, “Unfortunately, yes. The Irishman Ada dated and turned out to be Dragon’s nemesis. But, given the coincidence, we have reason to believe that the person who moved to Ireland five years ago is Ada. But she has returned to England now, and it is very likely that she is in Birmingham.”

Under everyone’s gaze, Ryan took a photograph of the woman who had pushed Mona down the stairs off his pocket and then a poster of a commercial Ada had taken long ago. He placed them side by side on the table. The woman in the photo on the left was dressed in a baseball cap and a mask and didn’t look like Ada at all.

“W’m not sure if they’re the same person, so | sent the two photos to my coworkers to check that out. They concluded that they were the same

person. | highly suspect Ada had plastic surgery.” ATT She’s Still Alive?!

Surprised, Anna exclaimed, “So, if this person is Ada, all she did was retaliate against me. That’s why she harmed those who are close to me, including Mona, Grandpa, and Tammy. She had planned to get back at me along time ago.”

Ryan nodded, “However, Ada is no longer the person she was five years ago. I’ve heard that the local gangs are terrified of her. She completely destroyed the organization on her own.”

He then took another folder from his bag and said, “This morning, | received a report from the police department. The school bus has a neat cut on the break, which was obviously man-made. The fact that all of the surveillance in the stadium’s underground garage was damaged that day confirms that this was done on purpose. Ada can’t do everything by herself, so someone must be helping her.”

Hearing Ryan bring up the subject, Anna was enlightened. In shock, she asked, “What about the phone number | gave you? Did you find out who the owner was?”

Since yesterday, the cell phone that had called Anna had been turned off. This person reminded Anna of the situation and, in a way, saved the lives of everyone in the car. As a result, Anna believed that this person was also an important clue.

“The owner of this cell phone number is a woman named Joanna,” Ryan said with a tight frown.

“That’s Bill!” Anna exclaimed quickly.

Ryan agreed with a nod and started to wonder why Bill did it. “Maybe,

he killed Owen, and he almost certainly killed Michael. We can now come to the conclusion that Bill was Ada’s helper. But why would he call to tell you that the car had been destroyed?”

Everyone remained silent for a long time. A while later, Wayne finally ATT She’s Still Alive?! said, “Perhaps he and Ada had a fight. Joanna has leukemia, so we can conclude that Bill did this for money.

He’s on the run, as is Ada, and there’s no way he’d do something so risky for no reason.”

Anna understood his meaning and replied, “Bill told Joanna that he would have money soon, and he lied to her that his boss lent him the money. Johanna doesn’t seem to know anything about it, but I’m sure Bill did it all for money.”

Lightly tapping his fingers on the marble countertop, Ryan leaned back in his chair. He nodded and said, “You should keep calling him, Anna. I’ve asked my colleagues to keep an eye on this number, and we’ll be able to get some information as long as it connects to the signal. Well, | guess he will stop using this number and use a different cell phone number soon.”

Anna nodded absentmindedly and appeared to be depressed. Wayne took her hand and said, “So, we should send Tammy and Matthew to America now. Ada is a wanted criminal, and she is unable to leave the country. You don’t need to be worried because they’ll both be safe.”

Though smiling, Anna still looked worried. When she stood up, her chair had scratched the floor. She gained some confidence and said, “I’m not afraid of Ada because she’s not worth being scared of. But | will make her pay for what she did to Mona and Grandpa. | have to take part ina competition later and | don’t have that much energy to worry about her.”

She took her handbag from the couch and prepared to leave.

“I’ll drive you there,” Wayne said as he changed into a clean suit and followed her.

Anna knew Wayne was worried about her safety. She was about to

nod when Wayne’s phone began to ring. Wayne frowned and paused for a ATT She’s Still Alive?!

moment, looking at the caller ID. It was Noel calling. Wayne was worried as he remembered the things he had asked him to look into in the past few days.

Eventually, Wayne picked up the phone. As he listened to Noel, he frowned.

Anna could figure out what Noel had said after he hung up. “You can go to work now, honey. You don’t have to stay with me all the time,” she said, straightening his shirt collar and tie.
