Chapter 174
Chapter 174
Quincy simply glanced at Felice instead of saying anything.
From her conversation with Thomas just now, Quincy could gather that she was Thomas’ ex-girlfriend who cheated on him. A woman of betrayal and evil intentions didn’t deserve compassion; she had it coming.
Quincy knew a bit about Thomas. After all, things were different now. The Six Greatest Families had their eyes on Thomas, and Quincy was close friends with him too, so Quincy naturally had to investigate his background.
“Dr. Hofstead, I’ll be leaving now. Olivia went through a lot today, and she needs rest.”
Quincy nodded and waved Thomas goodbye.
He, too, had some matters to attend to later. He had to personally visit the Yams. He promised Thomas that he wouldn’t disappoint the latter, so of course, he had to carry out his promise.
After watching Thomas drive away, Quincy turned around and prepared to get into his car. However, as he was turning around, he noticed Felice’s body moving a little.
“Hm?”
Out of curiosity, Quincy walked up to Felice and examined her in detail.
At that moment, Felice was in a miserable state. Blood kept streaming out of her nose and mouth, but she wasn’t dead. She still had her last breath remaining!
Quincy frowned slightly. He didn’t pity Felice. A woman like her should just drop dead, for letting her live would only cause more trouble later on.
She could break up with Thomas if she didn’t want to be with him, and they could just go their separate ways in peace. However, she kept giving Thomas trouble. What was up with that? Did she think she was immortal?
Before this, she was even Walt’s lover. As soon as Walt died, she got hooked up with Leslie. If anyone got too close to this woman, they’d get cheated on later.
“Save… me…”
Felice still retained some bits of her consciousness. She seemed to have used up all her energy as she forced her eyes open. She begged Quincy to save her, an instinct present in all normal humans. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Thomas, oh, Thomas. I never thought you’d have this side to you.”
Quincy sighed deeply as he marveled.
With Thomas’ skills, it would be extremely easy for him to kill someone. If he had the intention to murder, one kick from him was enough to kill a strong man, much less a powerless woman like Felice.
However, Felice was still alive, which meant that Thomas didn’t intend to kill her. Or, Thomas couldn’t bring himself to end her life with his own hands. He just severely injured her, then left her to fend for herself.
Thomas was indeed a man of nostalgia.
However, a woman like Felice shouldn’t be left alive! If she survived, she absolutely wouldn’t give up on revenge.
She had to die!
“Fine! Since you’re reluctant to end her life with your hands, let me do it, Thomas. If you learn about this in the future, don’t blame me. I’m doing this for your good.”
With that, Quincy took out the silver needles he always brought with him, then pierced an acupuncture point on Felice’s neck.
“Ugh!”
With a grunt, Felice left the world of the living in grief and indignation.
But who was to blame for this? Originally, even if she broke up with Thomas, she could’ve lived a normal person’s life, yet she tried time and again to get Thomas killed. She deserved everything that happened to her.
Quincy was a ruthless man too. As a doctor, he was used to seeing people die, so he quickly ended Felice’s life with one move.
“Deal with her body!”
Quincy gave his men orders, then got into the car and headed straight for the Yam Family.
He knew that Thomas was strong, and unbelievably so, but no matter how strong he was, he was just human. If he got into direct conflict with the old families of Irieson, Thomas could ensure his survival, but what about the people close to him whom he loved?
If the day came for him to go against the forces of the old families, it would be another matter altogether. This wasn’t nearly the time for that yet.
Meanwhile, in the Maserati.
Olivia kept stealing glances at Thomas. She knew that Thomas was in a foul mood right now.
Just now, she had listened in on the conversation outside the car about the conflict between Thomas and the Yam Family. Of course, Thomas had stood up for Olivia, but more importantly, that woman called Felice was deeply involved in this.
Olivia felt furious. Who did Felice think she was? She already broke up with Thomas, so why would she keep giving Thomas trouble?
When Olivia thought about it, she realized that Thomas’ ex-girlfriend wasn’t that great anyway. In terms of looks, Felice wasn’t as pretty as her. In terms of personality, the difference was even greater. Judging by all of this, Olivia had an even higher chance to date Thomas.
While Olivia was engrossed in her thoughts, the two returned to Northpine Villa. Thomas sat on the couch in the hall as he flipped through some newspapers.
Olivia chose to sit on the other end of the couch instead, watching some boring TV shows. She kept brainstorming ways to make Thomas a little happier.
How infuriating. Ex-girlfriends were always a sensitive topic to bring up. If Olivia offered any advice, it might add insult to Thomas’ injury. However, if she steered clear of this topic, she didn’t know how else to speak up.
Just then, Thomas’ phone rang. Thomas glanced at his phone to see that it was a call from an unfamiliar number. He didn’t think twice before picking up.
“Hello?”
“Hello? Is… Is this Thomas?”
Adam’s voice rang out from the other end of the line.
“Mr. Hahn. Yes, it’s me, Thomas. What’s the matter?”
Thomas suddenly had a very bad feeling about this. Even if Adam had something to tell him, he would ask Chloe to make the call instead of calling him himself.
“Thomas, please help us look for Chloe. She was just taken away by a middle-aged man…”
“What do you mean? Isn’t Chloe supposed to be working at Pearson Group right now?” Thomas was bewildered.
“Oh, she resigned from Pearson Group. She didn’t want me to tell you, so I didn’t mention anything before this. I’m not sure about the details, but I can see that Chloe didn’t want to leave with the man. But that man whispered something to Chloe, and that was when she went with him unwillingly. But now, no matter how many times I called her on the phone, I couldn’t get through! Do you think that Chloe…”
When Thomas heard that, his heart thumped wildly. His instincts told him that Chloe was in danger.
He had been keeping watch by Olivia’s side these days, so he overlooked Chloe. He never thought that Chloe had resigned from Pearson Group; something must have happened!
“Don’t worry, Mr. Hahn. I’ll look for her right away.”
After ending the call, Thomas stood up and dialed Quincy’s number. Quincy had promised before that he would send his men to protect Chloe.
“Dr. Hofstead, help me locate Chloe, quick!”
On the other end of the line, Quincy didn’t dare delay. As soon as he responded, he hastily began querying.
