90 Days With The Cold Billionaire-Chapter 119 - ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEEN: Evans Is Dead

Chapter 119: Chapter ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEEN: Evans Is Dead

Kendrick’s POV

After finding out about the sudden disappearance of Celeste and the others, I knew that I had to find them urgently because I don’t believe that Celeste is smart enough to come up with such an elaborate scheme.

"Evans, I will stop at the intersection in front. Take Christy to the Lancaster family house and ensure you arrange enough security for her" I instructed with a serious expression.

"Where are you going?" Christy asked me with an anxious expression.

"I am going somewhere with Mason, just go home, Mira and your other friends are waiting" I said while stroking her hair.

"Okay, please stay safe" She embraced me tightly.

She stayed in my embrace until we got to the intersection, where Mason was already waiting for me.

"I have to go now, be good" I gave her a brief kiss on the lips before getting down from the car and walked over to where Mason’s car was parked.

As soon as I got into the passenger seat, he wasted no time and immediately drove off.

"Any news?" I asked him but he just shook his head and sighed.

"Celeste is definitely taking orders from someone, how is it possible that she was able to easily convince them to leave with her?" he asked and I fell into a deep thought.

Wasn’t grandpa the mastermind? Could there be another person involved?.

"I actually have a strong conviction that your grandfather might still be controlling things despite being behind bars" I frowned when I heard what he said.

Why won’t this old man just allow everyone to live in peace?

"Let’s go to the police station" I said and he immediately understood my intentions.

The only way to know the truth is to confront him directly.

"Hello Chief, I’m on my way to the station, please make arrangements for me to meet Old Master Black" he immediately called to arrange it.

That’s one thing I admire most about him, he is always swift and decisive.

We fell into a deep silence as we were lost in our own thoughts.

Everything was ready by the time we got to the police station, so I headed straight to the visiting room.

I sat down, facing the iron net that separates the prisoners and the visitors. A few minutes later, Grandpa was led in by an officer.

I was surprised that he didn’t look haggard or regretful. He had a calm expression on his face and when he saw me, he grinned.

"It has only been a day and you already miss me" he said with a sarcastic tone as he took his own seat.

"Miss you? Seems like the prison is getting to you" I replied calmly.

"To what do I owe this visit?" he asked while staring directly into my eyes, his grin made him look extremely creepy.

"I wanted to..."

"You wanted to know if I had anything to do with the disappearance of Celeste and the others right?" he interrupted me with a slight laugh.

I was stunned as I didn’t expect him to actually admit it so easily.

"Do you really think that by locking me up here, my control of everything that happens outside would slip? No boy.

I have been in this game way before you were born and I can tell you that my schemes are beyond your comprehension" he said with a proud expression.

How can someone be so heartless?

I just felt like grabbing his neck and breaking it to send him straight to hell where he belongs.

"You are just like your mother, weak and pathetic. All my years of teaching you how to be a real man all went down the drain because you couldn’t let go of a girl.

To become a great man, you have to be vicious in everything you do, instill fear in others and make them tremble when they see you but what did you do instead?

Acting like a puppy all because of that Lancaster girl, trying to impress her family and acting all morally upright!" he yelled as he looked at me with disgust.

"I am surrounded by people who love and genuinely care about me because I didn’t follow your teachings.

Unlike you, who doesn’t have anyone that loves you and even if you die, no one will cry for you because of all the evil you have done" I replied to him with a disgusted expression.

I observed his face for any hint of regret but there was none.

"You want to find Celeste and the others right? That’s the reason you are here, so I will make it easy for you.

Let’s consider this as my last act of kindness as your grandfather" he said with a serious expression.

"What do you want?" I knew there was no way that he just wanted to help.

He never does anything that doesn’t favor him, so I was quite certain that he must have a condition.

"You know me so well," he chuckled.

I just stayed silent and waited for him to continue.

"My condition is simple, I want you to make sure that Curtis isn’t sentenced. He should be free and his involvement in Raymond’s death should not be recorded" he said with a serious expression.

"Wow... You are really such a loving father" I laughed mockingly and his expression immediately darkened.

"Ensure his safety and I will tell you the whereabouts of Celeste and the others" he said coldly.

"I will rather spend the next two years searching for them than allow Curtis to roam free" I responded with a smirk and he seemed to finally snap.

"Kendrick! Don’t act too tough for your own good, I gave you everything that you have now and I can easily take it all away, So you better not push me!" he yelled angrily.

His fingers held the metal net like he wanted to pull it down and attack me.

" I can see that you really love your son, and here I was, thinking that you had no weakness.

If I can get Curtis in prison, I can also get him accidentally killed" I said with a smile.

"How dare you threaten me! If you touch my son then I will die with you and everyone you care about!" he yelled with an extremely agitated expression, his face was red because of how angry he was.

His eyes darkened and I knew he wouldn’t hesitate if given a gun to shoot me at the moment.

"Even if I don’t touch him, there is Harold and the Lancaster family. They will be thrilled to know how much you really love your son" I said calmly and I pounded angrily on the net with his bare hands.

"I dare you and anyone else to touch him! You better behave yourself and get that family of buffoons to also behave or else, I will have no choice but to get rid of the one person that you all care about the most" he threatened angrily.

I clenched my fist as I tried to restrain my anger.

How dare he threaten me with Christy’s life?!

"Touch my sister If you want me to bury you and your precious son alive!" Mason’s angry voice came from behind me.

I don’t know when he came in or how much he had heard but from his expression, he clearly heard the parts about Christy.

"Get Curtis out, then come back to know where they are" Grandpa ignored him completely and continued talking to me.

"That’s not going to happen," I replied calmly. It took me a few seconds to finally adjust my emotions and face him calmly.

"You better not say I didn’t give you a chance" he said with a mysterious tone before walking out of the visiting room.

"What do you think he meant by what he said?" Mason asked me but I wasn’t sure either.

A sudden feeling of unease rose up within me and my chest tightened slightly.

"I have a terrible fee...."

Ring Ring!

I was interrupted by the ringing of Mason’s phone. He picked up the call and turned on the speaker.

" Dexter... "

"Sir, some mercenaries broke into the mansion and there were lots of casualties. They seem to have come specifically for Christy but Mr Black’s PA, Evans, shielded her with his body and he was shot severally.

He couldn’t be saved as his major organs were hit by the bullet..."

I didn’t hear any other thing that he said after that.

Evans is dead!

He couldn’t be saved!

These two sentences kept replaying in my head.

"Ken, we need to go, lots of people were injured, including my mother" Mason’s anxious voice pulled me out of my thoughts.

How could Evans be gone? We were in the same car less than an hour ago and now he is dead.

We rushed out of the police station and got into Mason’s car. He drove above speed limits and ran many red lights before we arrived at the Lancaster mansion.

We had to park outside the gate as the inside was filled with police, ambulances and numerous reporters.

I quickly looked around for Christy, but after searching for a while, I couldn’t find her.

"Kendrick"
