Permanent Guest
He can ask all he wants. I’ve got it all covered. I have my alibi. It’s impossible for me to get implicated
with Nicole’s disappearance.
When Kyle arrived, he approached Sally, who was taking care of a patient. “There’s something urgent.
Please come with me.”
“Oh, okay.”
Sally followed Kyle out of the ward.
Staring at Kyle’s tall and bulky stature, Sally felt unease. Despite Kyle not knowing that Nicole’s
disappearance had something to do with her, Kyle might find out about it one day, and he would
definitely despise her.
I’m just trying to save Dad’s life. I have no choice but to do it. I’m really sorry, Kyle!
They stopped in the hallway, and Kyle’s gaze locked intensely on Sally. He kept quiet the whole time,
but his expression was sufficient to send a stern message.
Sally’s heart started racing. He’s staring at me like I’m a thief. Did he manage to find out anything?
“Kyle, what’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like this?” Sally deliberately asked.
“Sally, my mommy is missing,” answered Kyle. He then stared at Sally closely, trying to observe her
reaction.
“Missing?” Sally pretended to be confused. “What do you mean missing? She’s gone?”
“Do you know where she is?” Kyle continued to question her.
“How would I know? When I arrived, she was already gone. Where could she be? Is she caught up in
something important? Could it be that…”
As Sally was coming out with a plethora of theories, Kyle narrowed his eyes. “Can you help me look for
her?”
“Me?”
I went to great lengths to trick her into leaving. And now he wants me to look for her?
“I’m afraid I don’t have the ability to do so. There are more than enough people in Seet Group who are
much more competent than me for the job. I believe that with their help, we can find her in no time.”
“I think that you’re much better than them. Why don’t you follow me, and we’ll look for Mommy together.
If we manage to find her, I will surely repay you.”
Follow him? He wants me to follow him everywhere?
Sally gazed at Kyle surprisingly. Isn’t this him keeping an eye on me?
That might interfere with my plan.
I can’t let this happen.
“I have my own matters to attend to. I’m afraid I really can’t help you. Why don’t I hire a private
investigator for you?”
“That’s not necessary. You’re better than a private investigator!” Kyle uttered in a domineering tone.
Sally was rendered speechless. Nonetheless, looking at how adamant Kyle was, it appeared that she
was not given a choice.
It looks like I just have to wing it and improvise as I go!
“Then, where shall we stay tonight? I don’t think we can stay in the same room together, right?”
Kyle did not anticipate such an awkward question from her. He thought for a moment before answering,
“At night, you’ll stay in Imperial Garden. I’ll prepare the guest room for you.”
“Imperial Garden? I don’t think I’ll be comfortable staying there.”
“You’ll get used to it! Come with me now. We’re going to look for her. My patience is limited. If you don’t
do as I say, then I’ll make sure you’ll be a permanent guest in Imperial Garden.”
Is he trying to lock me up by asking me to stay in Imperial Garden? That’s outrageous!
However, knowing the type of person that Kyle was, Sally dared not provoke him.
Although she was extremely reluctant, she had to succumb to his demands, and they left the hospital
together.
Moments later, Juan was told by his assistant that Sally was nowhere to be found. Initially, she was in
the hospital, but she was no longer there when the assistant arrived. The people in the hospital
mentioned that it was Kyle who brought Sally away.
