Chapter 112

Chris’s expression darkened instantly.

His eyes flicked toward the car, but all he caught was the tail end disappearing through the gates.

Still, he recognized it right away–it was the same car Stephanie had gotten into earlier with that man.

“That guy lives here too?”

Kevin hesitated before replying, “Pretty much.”

With security this tight, there was no way they’d let just anyone through.

Chris’s breathing grew uneven, his face stormy..

“Don’t tell me… That guy owns this place?”

But seeing how respectful the security was to that car just now, Kevin said, “Looks like it.”

The air inside the car turned icy.

“But wasn’t he supposed to be some 66–year–old geezer?” Chris practically roared.

Kevin flinched.

The paperwork had indeed listed a 58–year–old man as the owner when they looked into it.

Fuming, Chris yanked out his phone and dialed Stephanie.

Cold. Unreachable. She had blocked him.

His rage burned hotter, but there was nowhere to unleash it.

Chris was already overwhelmed, and Catlin wasn’t faring any better.

Her phone wouldn’t stop ringing–socialites and acquaintances were all calling, pretending to show concern while barely concealing their mockery.

Catlin nearly lost it.
