Chapter 48

Outside the hospital room, Chris shot Kevin a cold, piercing look. “Found anything?” he asked.

Kevin shook his head. “Nothing yet.”

“Nothing?” Chris‘ expression darkened, clearly frustrated. “Then what’s the point of all this?”

Kevin sighed, adjusting his posture. “I’ve only just started digging, but already, someone’s trying to block my investigation. Whoever is behind this is not someone to mess with.”

Chris narrowed his eyes, his suspicion confirmed. The fact that someone was actively trying to stop him from getting answers made it clear: this person had power, and they were hiding something.

He couldn’t forget the scene at Cloudridge Valley last night, when that man had aimed a gun at him. That had been a clear warning. It was obvious–this was no ordinary person.

Kevin hesitated before speaking again. “Maybe you should just ask Miss Giovanni directly. She might know something.”
