Chapter 776

Jareth’s gaze darkened upon hearing the words, “You’ve got the wrong number. Call the cops if you’ve got trouble. I’m not dealing with this.”

Call the cops? She wouldn’t dare!

Over the years, working under Gary at the Fairhaven Group, April had done a lot of evil things. If she called the cops, they’d dig up her past and air her dirty laundry for all to see. Before she knew it, she’d be trading her freedom for a cell!

“Jareth! Gary’s gone mad! He killed your grandpa!” April’s voice was hoarse with panic.

Jareth froze, then whirled around, every inch of his chiseled face tensed to breaking point, his heart pounding against his ribs,

“What did you say? Repeat that?”

“It was last night. Gary lured your grandpa to the Fairhaven family estate. I got wind of it and followed, intending to settle the divorce face to face with your grandpa. But I saw with my own eyes, Gary and Jackson hauling body bags out of the mansion. I even heard Gary ordering Jackson to ‘clean up‘ the bodies of your grandpa and his secretary!”

April recounted the terrifying scene, her voice trembling, “I was so scared, I ran for it. But they spotted me! They must have seen my car and known it was me. They’ve been hunting me since last night, and if I so much as poke my head out, he’ll kill me! He didn’t hesitate to kill his own blood; what chance do I stand?”

“Did he say how they’d dispose of the bodies?” Jareth’s world spun, as he struggled to keep his voice steady.

“Lily, stay put.”

Without another word, Jareth hung up, his voice cutting off abruptly as he vanished into the crowd like a shadow fleeing the light.
