Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 174

As soon as Joshua stepped out of the car, the driver respectfully informed him, "Sir, Thomas just called and said he urgently needs to reach you, but your phone seemed to be off."

Joshua quickly masked the gentleness in his eyes and ended the call with Allison. Almost immediately, Thomas' call came through.

Joshua answered with a cold, steady tone, "What's going on?"

Thomas' voice was tense, a slight tremor betraying his nerves. "Sir, it's bad news. Our people just reported that Sue's father jumped from the hospital building... I think it's more than just coincidence... And the team searching for Greg's mom also reported..."

Joshua's eyes narrowed, his voice icy. "Reported what?"

"They said that Greg's mother was found at home, dead from carbon monoxide poisoning..."

A sharp glint flashed in Joshua's eyes. "Is there any chance of saving her?"

Thomas replied, his voice shaky, "By the time they found her, it was too late."

A chilling light flickered in Joshua's eyes, his voice as cold as ice. "Thomas, if you don't get to the bottom of this within five days, you know what will happen."

Thomas replied fearfully, "Yes, sir..."
