NovelEnglish"I know what I did was wrong, Mr.
Zimmerson. | was forced into it. If | didn't listen to him, he would've killed me. I had no choice."
Tory narrowed his eyes. "So Jordan was the one who helped you pay back the hundreds and thousands of dollars
that you stole."
"es."
| pursed my lips and asked Anthony, "That corpse at the crscene... Who was it?"
Tory frowned. Perhaps he felt that my question was unimportant.
Anthony was taken aback. He looked overand said somewhat uncertainly, "It's probably Milan."
I looked at Theo, unsure if | could believe his words.
Theo held my hand and lowered his head as if he were thinking about something.

After a few minutes, he asked Tory, "Did you find Milan's whereabouts?"
"He disappeared ever since your accident. I've sent people to search for him, but it's been such a long time. We
still haven't found him. He might be dead."
As soon as he said that, a troubled expression crossed Tory's face as he pondered that possibility.
It was a baffling matter. Why did Jordan want to kill Milan? When Milan first arrived in Limbia, he was in
desperate need of assistance, so he and Jordan decided to work together. Not only did Jordan's interests remain
untouched, but Milan would also help him however he could too. Similarly, Jordan would provide help whenever
needed.
Why would Jordan kill him?
I pursed my lips, looked at Anthony, and asked, "Are you sure that the corpse belongs to Milan?"
Anthony thought about it and said, "That night, Milan was the one who led the men to capture you. Once Milan
pulled
President Grant into his car, they sped off. However, the car was stopped a short distance away by someone who
claimed to be Jordan Fredericks' man. He wanted to bring President Grant with him, and Milan just decided to tag
along. | wasn't going back to town. | just happened to be heading in the sdirection as those people, so | kept
driving behind them. After driving for about a mile or so, the cars suddenly stopped. | was a little scared, so |
stopped too. Then, | saw Milan getting shoved down from the car. He lay on the ground, motionless. He was
covered in blood too. At that point, | was freaking out. | didn't dare to stay and watch. | was afraid I'd be next, so
| just sped off. I'm telling the truth.
You've got to believe me."
No one said anything for a while. Everyone was deep in thought.
Tory finally snapped out of his thoughts, looked at Anthony, and said in an icy tone," Seeing how well you
performed today, I'll let you go. You'd better be more honest from here on out. If you cause any more trouble for
me, I'll feed you to the sharks."
Once he was done speaking, he gave his bodyguards a look.

Anthony was led out of the room. Now, only Theo, Tory, and | remained in the room.
When | saw that neither of them planned on speaking, | could not help but ask, "Why did Jordan want to kill
Milan?"
Even when | was abroad, | already knew that Milan and Jordan had a complicated relationship. There must have
been a lot of benefits involved between the two.
Moreover, no matter how reckless Milan was, there was no way that Jordan could have killed him so easily.
Theo pursed his lips, looked at Tory, and said, "I need you to investigate this matter. At the stime, I'll send
someone here to take charge of our collaboration."
"Huh?" Tory was unhappy. "President Grant, why do | feel like you're trying to dump this matter onso you can
just bring your wife back to Whaldorf and continue frolicking there?"
"If you want to be responsible for the Zimmerson family's downfall, | can stay here." Theo gave him a cold look
and said," Jordan is playing something bigger than just chess. He wants something more than a business «
partnership."
