Chapter 984

James was never the type to run from trouble, but the way Rick spoke, it was hard to doubt him. With a serious look, Rick said, "Mrs. Costello, if you don't believe me, you can send someone to the police station to check. He really has escaped. The boss already sent people after him.

Colby put on a wounded expression before turning to Rick. "My wife's not in the best mood. Let's not talk about anything that'll upset her more. Go start the car."

"Yes, Colby."
