Figuring Out Anything
She was in the dark and might find an answer in the office.
It was getting dark.
Someone was not sleeping.
In his bedroom, Jordy still looked sullen after a shower. His anger at Gloria hadn’t subsided.
His phone rang. It was a call from a number he hadn’t saved as a contact.
Jordy and Gloria had the same habit of not saving phone numbers. Their memories were retentive.
It was Harold calling, and he answered the phone.
“Mr. Collins, I’ve instructed our men to look into it, but those people are good at concealing themselves.
There aren’t many traces for the time being.”
“What kind of answer is this?” Jordy’s voice was chilling.
Harold said again, “Those who insulted Miss White and the attackers are two groups of people who
have one thing in common. They were paid to do these things. I suspected it was Angela, but there
isn’t any clue leading to her.”
Jordy furrowed his brows but made no comments.
Harold took a light breath and continued, “This is… all the information I’ve collected so far. These
people are good at camouflaging. Their signals were cut off in no time. I’ve contacted the boss of the
first group of people, but he knows nothing about it. He just received a call from an anonymous number
and got paid with cash. Wrapped up in clothes, the other party had her voice processed, and the place
they met was a dead spot. I’m having people narrow down the scope.”
“Don’t miss out on any detail,” Jordy said before hanging up the phone. His eyes were filled with
coldness.
He got up, went out of the bedroom, and saw through the crevice of the door that the light in Gloria’s
room was still on. He walked over and asked in a deep voice, “Are you up?”
Gloria, who was leaning on the head of the bed, was a little surprised. She had slept for some time.
during the day, and her wound was hurting. She found it hard to sleep although she could endure the
pain.
Jordy came at such a late hour. It might be something important.
She wondered and responded, “Yeah.”
Jordy came in, met her calm eyes, came to her bed, and sat down in a chair.
The chair had been placed there by Nydia during the day.
He looked at her and asked, “Who did you offend?”
Gloria’s eyes flickered. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.
“I have been a lawyer for years and have offended a lot of people along the way.”
Jordy frowned as the scope expanded, but intuition told him it was not the right direction.
He looked at her and said again, “The attackers today and those at the police station were hired by the
same person.”
Harold was not certain about it, but he could deduce it from the information.
Gloria’s eyes flickered. In fact, she had the same conclusion.
“What’s the clue?”
“Virtual calls and payment in cash,” Jordy replied shortly.
Her brows furrowed in an instant.
His eyes had been fixed on her face the entire time. He asked, “Figured out anything?”
Only the two of them were in the room. The scene was harmonious although their way interaction was
not quite fancy.
They were both smart and had a natural tacit understanding.
From a simple look, they could read a lot of information.
