Chapter 147
Laura Kent had just learned from a doctor at the Western Mountain Sanatorium that Amelia Wytte had been taken away by a group of unidentified individuals. When she heard this sudden news while feeling anxious, she was momentarily stunned.
“What’s the Hawk Group?”
“Madam, we found a Hawk Group identification card in the nearby bushes. According to them, it may have been left behind by the group of people who took Amelia Wytte.”
“Hawk Group…”
After pondering for a moment, Laura Kent said, “Let them continue the investigation, and report to me immediately once they have any news.”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
After hanging up the phone, she looked at Elena Kent, who was anxiously waiting beside her.
“What happened? Aunt, what’s going on?”
“The person is missing.” Laura Kent said with a serious face, “When the people from the sanatorium arrived, the woman had already been taken away. At the moment, it is possible that it was done by the Hawk Group.”
Elena Kent immediately thought of one person and felt a sense of joy in her heart, “Is it Eden Hawk?”
If it really is Eden Hawk, then they don’t have to worry. After all, if Amelia Wytte can have a relationship with the Gu family, she can at least leave Nicola Clinton’s side. For Elena Kent, it is a big relief. Moreover, with the relationship between Eden Hawk and Nicola Clinton, if he rescues Amelia Wytte, he is unlikely to notify Nicola Clinton. Therefore, this matter that they and Laura Kent are doing will not be exposed to Nicola Clinton.
“Not sure yet.” Laura Kent shook her head. “Just found something related to him, it may be him.”
“So what do we do next?”
“First, send someone to investigate Eden Hawk’s side to confirm if it is him. If it is, let him deal with these things.”
This idea was exactly what Elena Kent wanted. Laura Kent had already done half of the groundwork. As for arranging for someone to investigate Eden Hawk’s side, it naturally needed to be handled by him.
So she quickly contacted the people she had on hand.
At almost the same time, Nicola Clinton learned about their movements.
“Have you arranged for people to investigate Eden Hawk?” Nicola Clinton stood at the window of his office, looking through the transparent window at the busy traffic outside, his eyebrows slightly raised.
The assistant stood one meter behind him, bowing respectfully. “Yes, it’s Miss Kent’s people.”
“It seems that they still don’t fully believe us,” Nicola Clinton narrowed his eyes slightly. “Since that’s the case, let them continue to follow the clues to Eden Hawk’s side and confirm it for them.”
“Yes,” the assistant replied, but hesitated in place without leaving.
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?” Nicola Clinton turned around.
“It’s not that, it’s just…” The assistant paused, but he still said the words he had been holding back in his heart, “If the clues are directed towards Master Hawk this time, he may become suspicious.”
After all, the Hawk family was not to be underestimated. If they had not noticed it after the clues had been directed towards them, they did not deserve to continue to survive in the circles of the imperial city’s top families.
“It doesn’t matter,” Nicola Clinton waved his hand. “Just do as you’re told.”
As expected, Eden Hawk had become suspicious and had almost figured things out when Elena Kent’s people went over. When Nicola Clinton intentionally redirected the blame towards him, he quickly investigated and found out the whole story. He immediately rushed to the Clinton Group.
He came to visit as the son of the Gu family. Despite not having an appointment, there was no reason for the front desk to stop him. He smoothly made it to the CEO’s office on the top floor.
Nicola Clinton was busy arranging work matters for the company’s top management when suddenly, the assistant knocked on the door and whispered something in his ear.
“Alright, that’s it for today’s affairs. You can all go back to your own offices,” he said halfway through talking.
After the other high-level executives had left one after another, he finally returned to his own office. Eden Hawk was originally sitting on the sofa, but as soon as he saw Nicola Clinton coming in, he stood up eagerly and approached him, asking, “Where is Amelia Wytte? Where is she?”
“What do you mean, ‘Where is Amelia Wytte?’ Don’t you already know? She went missing from the hospital that day,” he replied.
“Nicola Clinton!” Eden Hawk couldn’t stand his superior and arrogant attitude, especially when it came to Amelia Wytte. In this situation, it was easy for him to recall the despicable things that Nicola Clinton and his family had done to Amelia Wytte.
Almost enraged, he grabbed Nicola Clinton’s collar and said, “Don’t give me that crap. I know your people have found her. Where is she? I want to see her!”
“See her?” Nicola Clinton forcefully shook off his grip, wearing a sneering look on his face. “Who said you can?”
“Did you save her? Or do you have a connection with her?”
“I…” Eden Hawk was speechless at the question.
Nicola Clinton returned to his high and arrogant demeanor. “If it wasn’t you who saved her and you have no connection with her, why do you think you have the right to see her?”
“Amelia Wytte is my friend.”
“Friend?” Nicola Clinton sneered again. “She is a member of the Clinton family. What kind of friend are you, Master Gu?”
“Nicola Clinton!” Eden Hawk was unable to control his emotions as Nicola continued to mock him.
“You have no right to speak to me like that,” Nicola coldly replied. “Master Hawk, let me give you one last piece of advice, stay away from Amelia Wytte. She belongs to the Clinton family, and has always been, is now, and will always be mine to decide her fate, not yours.”
“Amelia Wytte is a person, not your private property!”
Eden Hawk finally reached his limit. After enduring Nicola Clinton for so long, he decided not to keep tolerating him any longer.
Almost simultaneously with his words, he raised his fist and delivered a hard blow straight to Nicola Clinton’s face.
Filled with so much anger, this punch was an outlet for all of his frustration.
The two had been glaring at each other for a long time. Nicola Clinton wiped the corner of his mouth, sneered, and immediately counterattacked with a punch. Both were well-known in the business world of the capital city, always praised as exemplary heirs of wealthy families. Now, they were fighting ferociously, throwing punches and kicks without any order or discipline.
By the time the assistant realized what was happening, both men had already exchanged punches and kicks many times. “Quick, someone come and pull them apart!” The assistant shouted for help while trying to break up the fight, but was hit a few times by their fists in the process.
Their punches were heavy, indicating that both men were using their full strength. It was evident that they were not holding back.
