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.
