Chapter 1023 Why Are They Suddenly Moving Stuff

She looked at me with reddened eyes as she clasped her hands tightly together. ‘Scarlett, I can't turn

back anymore. I won't involve Grandpa's men in this, but as long as he's connected to it, I'll do

whatever I can to protect him.”

I frowned but understood her obsession and calmly replied, “Okay. As long as you think it's worth it.”

This marked the end of our friendship.

There was no use talking about it anymore.

As soon as we left the cafe and got into the car, Joseph said, “There're a few trucks below Imperial

Hotel. Apparently, they're cleaning out the hotel's junk. They're moving stuff right now”

Taken aback, I hesitated for a while before I replied. “Let's go there now!”

He nodded and started up the car.

When we reached Imperial Hotel, four or five trucks were parked by the entrance, and there were

several men moving things into the trucks. Thus, Joseph parked the car outside.

“Why are they suddenly moving all these? Where are they bringing them to?”

After watching them for a while, I noticed that they were bringing out tables, chairs, cardboard boxes,

and white quilts. They seemed to be old items that the hotel did not want.

As I stared at the white quilts that had been loaded into the truck, I pondered for a moment before I

asked, “Can you do something to make the truck with the quilts catch fire?"

Joseph was stunned for a moment, probably because he was thinking the same thing as I was. Then,

he nodded. “I can!” Subsequently, he called made a call and arranged for someone to tamper with the

car.

Soon, a noise came from inside. We watched from our car as the truck started to catch fire, emitting

smoke. “Make use of this messy situation and get someone to see if there's anything wrapped in the

quilts.”

Joseph nodded and spoke into his headset. Shortly after, he looked at me and replied, “There're

weapons wrapped inside!”

“Call the police and the fire department. Also, get some men to surround the area. Don't let anyone get

out.” As long as this succeeded, Armond would be called to come back, therefore leaving him no time

to deal with Ashton.

Shortly after that, I heard police sirens and the fire engines then arrived. As I watched the horde of men

rush into the hotel, I was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

I turned to Joseph and said. “Come on, let's go and meet Dillan!”

However, Joseph did not drive and simply looked toward the front of the car. Following his gaze, I was

stunned when I saw that familiar face. “Abe? Didn't he die in Moranta?”

Joseph was also taken aback and frowned.

Seeing that man hurriedly enter Imperial Hotel, I was about to get off and follow him in before Joseph

stopped me. “Mrs. Fuller, wait in the car while I go down to check on the situation. Don't get out of the

car no matter what!”

I furrowed my brows, but as soon as I thought of Ashton's words, I simply nodded and waited in the car.

However, not long after Joseph went in, I heard gunshots from inside the building. I instantly tensed up.

What's going on? They're actually acting so savagely in this country?

I dialed Joseph's number, but it would not connect. Just as I wanted to get off the car, I hesitated. If I

get down now, not only would I be unable to do anything, I'd also be putting myself in danger. But if I

don't get off now, I wouldn't know anything about Joseph's situation. In the end, I could only sit in the

car and wait. Feeling helpless, I gave Boris a call for help.

His background seemed to be very noisy. As soon as he picked up, he asked. “What's wrong, Ms.

Stovall?”

Listening to the flustered voice on the other end of the line, I suddenly had a bad feeling. “Boris, are

you okay?”

He coughed for a while before he replied, “Mr. Moore and I were tricked by Dillan. We're trapped in his

villa now, and the house is on fire. Mr. Moore has lung disease and the situation isn't looking too good

right now!”

Panicked, I hurriedly replied, “I'll call for help right away. You should call the police!”

After I hung up, I got out of the car and hid beside it. I wanted to enter the hotel to search for Joseph,

but there were constant sounds of fighting coming from inside. Since Abe was a fugitive, naturally,

human life would not mean anything to him.

Before I even entered the hotel, I noticed two dead bodies beside the truck that was on fire. They

appeared to be the drivers of the truck, which was still burning and could accidentally explode.

Luckily, not many people were around this area. When I still did not see Joseph, I started to get

anxious. I wanted to give him a call, but again, the call did not get through. Soon, special forces

soldiers had surrounded Imperial Hotel, which only made me more anxious. If they arrested Joseph,

things would become troublesome.

However, if I entered then, I would be shot right away. I tried to call him again, and it finally got through

this time. Joseph said anxiously, “Mrs. Fuller, are you okay?”

“I'm fine. Hurry and come back out. There're special forces outside Imperial Hotel now. My dad and

Boris were tricked by Dillan and are trapped there right now, so we have to hurry over.”

“Okay, but I can't get out right now. Imperial Hotel has a back door, so you should drive away first, and

I'll come out to meet you.” As soon as he was done, he hung up.

As I studied my surroundings, I noticed that the special forces were closing in on Imperial Hotel and

quickly ran back to the car and started the engine. Suddenly, a man appeared and blocked the car. I

barely stepped on the brakes in time before I hit him.
