Mrs Hale, I Surrender

Chapter 215: 215 Mr. Hale realized, guarding his sister all night long Chapter 215: 215 Mr. Hale realized, guarding his sister all night long William Hale massaged his temples. He had tried to convince Zoe Bell to search for her relatives, but she seemed not to believe Director Hall’s words, and the matter was shelved…

The Payne Family.

Could it be such a coincidence?

Zac Cruz was unaware that Junior President Payne had had a sister and added, “I heard that after he left the detention center, Director Hall was emotionally devastated, shouting to see his wife and even engaging in some self-harming behaviors.”

“Why on earth would Junior President Payne seek her out all of a sudden?”

“Capital City is thousands of miles away from Greenland; a trip there is not easy.”

“I had planned to have a lawyer investigate, but every time Director Hall asks her a question, she always has conditions, and I doubt anything substantive will be revealed.”

…

Zac Cruz murmured, catching a glimpse of his boss leaning back in his chair, apparently asleep. These past few days had indeed been tough, so he immediately closed his mouth.

However, William hadn’t fallen asleep; his mind was flooded with various thoughts.

The investigation results from his uncle indicated that the Payne Family’s daughter was likely deceased;

but Zoe had been abducted.

With the status of the Payne Family, how could their daughter easily have an accident, go missing, or be abducted? There must be some hidden story here, perhaps fraught with peril.

The more William thought about it, the more he felt a headache coming on.

Upon returning to the old mansion, he took a quick shower and handled some urgent company matters, and by the time he finished, it was after one in the morning.

He went to the Incense Making Room, picked up a few of Zoe Bell’s books on incense making, passed through the front hall, and unexpectedly encountered Finn Hale.
