I froze on the spot and the memory of the messages Stacey showed me surface in my mind. Jared and Cameron had indeed been up to something privately for quite a long time previously.

However, during that time, the messages Stacey showed me were about Jared and Cameron teaming up to vent their anger for what happened to Naomi.

I couldn’t help but take a step back as I stared at the men in the ward. They were both people from the business circle. There was no way I could guess any of their schemes.

Ashton could finally sit up by now and he said indifferently, “The Moore family might be formidable in K City but it’s not enough to have the same influence in J City. Saying that I have no moves at all is just ridiculous.”

“Hmph!” Zachary scoffed. “Even though the Moore family have been in the mafia for so many years, we’ve always been just and righteous. The reason we want to get a hold of J City is just to find my daughter. We don’t mean to cause any trouble to you.”

“But Naomi’s dead and that’s the truth!” the former said, a hint of anger in his voice.

Zachary furrowed his brows. “That was an accident.”

“And we’re only settling the score for this accident today,” Ashton replied coldly.

“The matters between you young people are now hurting other insignificant people for no reason. Yet you still think you’re right. Ashton, if you want to continue living a great life with Scarlett, we better call it even and stop talking about things that happened in the past. Otherwise, both of us will be having a hard time.”

I pursed my lips and decided not to continue listening to their conversation. I went back into the hallway and sat down with a cup of water in my hands.
