Chapter 185: Failed Plot

As soon as Desmond Allen left the Police Chief’s office, the Chief immediately picked up his phone, called Elder Allen, and arranged a meeting.

~~At the Allen Family House~

Elder Allen sat in his study, going through some old documents when a car slowly drove through the main gate and stopped at the entrance.

The butler, already waiting by the door, quickly and quietly welcomed the visitor, ushering the guest inside without saying a word.

The Police Chief Jason with steady steps, followed the butler directly into the private study where Elder Allen sat waiting for him, draped in a thick robe, a cane resting beside him.

He had asked him to come over right away because Desmond would be home in the evening besides he didn’t know he had a close connection with the Police Chief.

Seeing him walk in Elder Allen sharp, piercing eyes flicked up to meet the Police Chief’s.

"You came quicker than I expected, Chief," Elder Allen said, his tone laced with amusement.

Chief Jason gave a respectful bow of his head. "I didn’t want to waste your time, sir. Though, you seem to remain at the background these days, you are still a busy man."

Elder Allen nodded "you are right but then.." he paused and shrugged his shoulders.
