One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 506

Chapter 506 A Guilty Conscience

Tina had already fallen asleep on the way back. On the way back, Tina had already fallen asleep. Hearing her mumbling right before she slept, Alexander knew that she had not dared to sleep or eat for the duration that she was kidnapped. When she was tired, she would take a short nap by the door and boil some water when she was hungry. It was only if she was starving that she would take a bite or two of the food delivered to her.

Alexander’s calm gaze began to darken upon hearing this as he waited until Tina was in deep sleep before calling Eric.

“I want you to find Raymond faster than the police.”

Then, he hung up after saying that without giving the other party any explanation or questions that he could, not caring whatsoever how helpless Eric was feeling.

“What? If I were to do it faster than the police, why don’t I just join them instead?”

Even though Eric grumbled, he still put his foot to the floor and drove like mad to the central business district of Melrose City.

Back at the Duncans’ ancestral home, Tina was still asleep as Courtney had gotten an IV drip from the hospital. Her pale complexion only improved after the drip was finally used up.

At around 8.00PM, Alexander received a call from Eric, saying that he had found Raymond.

Eric was obviously hesitating because he did not know how to convey the news, so he paused for a bit before adding, “I did manage to find him, but… he’s dead.”

Alexander was not all shocked by this.

After hanging up, he took a coat from the wardrobe before going out. His presence vanished together with the fading sound of the engine in the courtyard. Standing on the first floor balcony, a visibly fatigued Courtney adjusted her blouse.

Raymond had died in his own apartment. By the time Alexander arrived at the scene, the police had already cordoned off the area and even though the entrance of the apartment was wide open, one could still detect the thick smell of gas inside.

Eric, who was being questioned by the police at the side, was the first one to discover this and informed the police thereafter.
