The Mastermind
“Either the driver was extremely reckless, or he had planned to kill that man beforehand. Otherwise,
how would he drive the car in that man’s direction?”
“Such a pitiful man. He lost his life just like that.”
Hearing that, Juan turned to look at Sally. His eyes were filled with suspicion.
Sally was puzzled upon perceiving his gaze. “Why are you looking at me like this? It’s as if I was the
one who had killed him.”
“Was it not you?”
“I-I was always with you in your car. How could I have killed him? Are you crazy?”
“You urged me to drive here faster after receiving the text. Was it because your plan had succeeded?
That’s the reason why you have nothing to be afraid of anymore, right?”
“What plan? And why should I feel afraid? I don’t understand what you’re trying to say,” Sally said with
a puzzled look. After pondering for a moment, she widened her eyes as if she had realized something
important. “Xander was the victim in that accident?”
“Yes.” Juan stared into her eyes with his arms crossed. He had seen Xander’s photo before. He
recognized his face after seeing the man lying in a pool of blood because they looked exactly the
same.
“Are you trying to say that I had ordered someone to kill him?”
“You’re right. You’re going to deny it, aren’t you? Fine. So, how about you prove your innocence by
finding out the driver?”
Sally got so furious that she let out a laugh. “So, you accuse me just because you want me to find out
who had killed him? I don’t have the time for that!”
There’s no way he’ll be able to use me! Moreover, I’m not related to Xander. The police will find out the
driver. Why should I get myself involved in this?
“You refused to help me because you’re feeling guilty.”
“Yes. I’m so guilty. You should go and investigate everything right now. You better get some evidence to
prove that I’m the culprit behind everything. Otherwise, you’re just a crazy mutt yapping nonsense! Go
and start investigating now. I’ll wait for you in the car.” With that, Sally turned around and walked toward
Juan’s Maserati nonchalantly.
Juan smiled as he watched her from behind. Surprisingly, that woman is not as silly as I thought. She
didn’t even fall into my trap. But then, how dare she call me a crazy mutt? I was just kidding. She’s so
rude!
Not long later, Juan returned to his car after the police had arrived. Sally sized him up with a strange
expression. “Why aren’t you investigating with the cops right now? You should find the evidence to
prove me guilty!”
Juan pretended to clear his throat. “Yes. I’m going to find out who’s the one conspiring with you!”
Sally glared at him displeasedly.
Seeing how furious Sally got, Juan was secretly happy. She called me a crazy mutt just now, so I have
to take my revenge too!
Juan looked at Sally from time to time on their way back, but Sally ignored him. She was thinking of the
possible scenarios that might happen later.
Everyone knows Nicole is Evan’s wife. Bernian Hospital belongs to Nicole, so it belongs to Evan too.
Evan has a high social status in Y City. How dare the boss of Xenhall Hospital go against him? Could it
be that there’s more to this than meets the eye? I wonder what the boss of Xenhall Hospital will say to
Juan after he sees him later. I’m sure he’ll never admit anything. It’s also possible that he had sent
someone to kill Xander, as he was afraid that he’d get exposed.
Juan interrupted Sally’s thought upon noticing her serious look. “What are you thinking about?”
Sally regained her senses. “How are you going to ask the boss of Xenhall Hospital after you meet him
later?”
“How? I’m just going to ask directly. I don’t have the time to beat around the bush.”
“Do you think he’ll tell you the truth if you ask him like that?”
“He doesn’t have a choice. As I said, I’ll show you how cruel I am. Get yourself ready for an eye-
opening sight later.”
