True Love Waits

Chapter 1095 Meat For Gwyn

In the years following Melody's death, Napier did nothing but keep a vigil at her tombstone every day.

Evelyn felt sorry for him. She not only gave him money on a regular basis, but also had someone bring him food and drinks every day.

She even had a house built for him. It was erected near the one intended for the cemetery watchman.

Then one day, Napier disappeared from the world and no one saw him again, not in that cemetery or even in Y City.

"Sad tale. Sounds like the guy let his grief consume him. But why kill Evelyn's ex-boyfriends?" Sheffield thought Napier was nuts. Even if he bore a grudge against Evelyn for his girlfriend's death, killing three people to get back at her was a little weird. And apparently he was trying to target the fourth.

Melody had jumped off the building in a red dress. That was the reason why Evelyn didn't like red dresses. He should have known that sooner.

If one thing was clear from Carlos' account, it was that Melody and Evelyn cared for each other deeply.

"Are you sure it's Napier Tao?" Carlos asked.

"Pretty sure. I caught a glimpse of his face when we fought, but he escaped. The police chief's last name is 'Tao, ' too. Do you think there's a connection?" That was the key to the mystery. Sheffield had started patrolling the streets at night, hoping to draw Napier out.

At last, they had some measure of success. Last night, in the wee hours, Napier popped up near Sheffield's old apartment.

The two of them fought with each other again. However, Napier was nobody's fool. He figured out Sheffield had men waiting to ambush him, and escaped.

Sheffield wanted to catch him, but this guy was too quick. He pulled out a knife and slashed at Sheffield's midsection. The CEO sidestepped it and managed to pull off the man's mask.

The moment the mask was pulled off, he recognized him. It was the man who he had beaten in Evelyn's apartment some time ago.

'Chief Tao...' Carlos pondered. It was a very important question. "Probably," he answered. The cases of Evelyn's murdered exes were unsolved. Napier couldn't have gotten away with it, unless a cop helped him out. This "Chief Tao" could be the one doing it.
