Chapter 1094
"Understood.I'll get right on with it at once."
Meanwhile, Henry and the man with the pentagram tattoo were headed to the suburbs.
Located there was an abandoned factory where Conrad and his family were huddled up in a dark corner.
On the other side of the factory, Jared's man could be seen, gagged, and bound to his chair.
Henry put a mask on and walked in.He glanced around at his surroundings while Conrad ignored him.
Then, he walked over to look at Jared's man and gestured at his goon, giving him an order to interrogate them.
"Who ordered you to go after Conrad!?" the tattooed man said.
"Spill!"
"No one sent us," Jared's man replied.
"He owed me money and I was there to reclaim what's mine."
"Conrad, do you know him?" the tattooed man asked Conrad.
Conrad shook his head in fear.
"I don't know him at all."
"Did you hear that?"
The tattooed man punched him in the gut, creating a loud thud.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Now spill and tell me the truth!"
"I'm telling you nothing but the truth!" Jared's man said, coughing.
“You have nothing to gain from beating me to death."
"Let's see how long you're able to keep up the charade."
The tattooed man proceeded to pummel Jared's personnel in the gut, causing him to retch and vomit blood.
"Are you going to tell us the truth or not?!" the goon bellowed.
Noticing that the detainee was still tight-lipped, the tattooed man turned to Henry, "Looks like he won't be
squealing."
"In that case, cut his tongue out and release him." Henry said.
Henry always had a hunch that it was Jared who had hired him, but he wanted to confirm his suspicions.
Therefore, he would release this person so that he could send a message to Jared.He wanted to see how his
nephew would react upon seeing the man removed of his tongue.
After releasing the man, Henry removed his mask and threw it on the floor.
"Conrad, if you dare snitch, I'll see to it that you'll suffer the same fate."
"I did not see or hear anything today, sir."
Conrad trembled, for he was frightened to his very core.
Henry turned around and looked at the tattooed guy, "I think someone has been tailing Conrad.Find a remote
location in the mountains and keep him in the hideout.I'll let you know when the coast is clear."
"Understood."
"Follow me," the tattooed man said, and led Conrad and his family into an off-road vehicle before driving off.
With that done, Henry pretended as though nothing had happened and went home.
During the next day, Nicole brought Carl out on a ride to Ronnie's estate.
"Carl, what do you think about this place? It's pretty large, eh?" Nicole asked, having been in a good mood.
"The air is so much fresher here.It's as if I'm surrounded by nature."
Carl rolled the window down and breathed in some of the crisp air from the surroundings.
"Nicole, don't tell me you've brought me here to so that we could go into hiding." Carl teased.
"Hiding?" Nicole said.
"You've got one hell of an imagination.Do you think I'd be able afford a plot of land of this scale?"
"Nothing is impossible," Carl said, smiling.
"If the landlord is willing to sell it, I'll take it off his hands whenever I want and give it to you."
"Yeah, granted he is willing to sell it to you, that is." Nicole jabbed.
After driving for a while longer, Nicole halted and parked her vehicle at the entrance of a racecourse, prompting
Carl to give her a look of puzzlement.
"Why have you brought me here?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I'm going to introduce you to my baby," Nicole said, her eyes brimming with joy as if she truly had a baby to show
Carl.
"Nicole, what have you been up to for the past few years? First, came the gold cards and the factories, and now,
you're telling me that you have a baby? What is going on?"
Carl asked, shocked by these revelations about her, and wondering how she had amassed these fortunes for
herself.
"Allow me to explain.The factory isn't mine, but the baby you're about to meet is indeed mine."
Nicole flashed him a sly smile and made her way to the entrance.
Ronnie was feeding the horses, but as soon as he heard footsteps, he turned his gaze toward the entrance.
Upon noticing that it was Nicole, a grin crossed his face.
"Why didn't you give me a call before coming over? I could've prepared something for you."
"No worries, I'm no stranger to this place,"
Nicole said, as both she and Carl walked up to Ronnie.
"Uncle Ronnie, allow me to introduce.This is my best friend, Carl.I've brought him here today so that he can meet
that horse which you've gifted me."
"Hi, Carl," Ronnie said.
