Charles did not utter a word. At this moment, the chauffeur had driven the car to their destination, a building about to be completed. Tom was captivated there by Declan.
He asked Mrs. Meyer and Tiana to wait in the car and then got off to find Tom with the chauffeur.
Declan had already been there and left, leaving Tom inside alone.
There was a fully built wall without cement. The wall consisted of red bricks. All kinds of construction waste were scattered on the ground, and Tom was left among those messy sundries.
Tom was beaten up severely, but his face was not hurt. The wounds were all on his body. After his guards left, he was dropped onto the ground.
The chauffeur went to untie the rope on him. He opened his eyes and saw Charles. “Mr. White.”
Charles asked with concern, “Are you alright?”
Tom could not stand up. He can only stand up with the help of the chauffeur. His body hurt when he moved. He said, “The injury still won’t cost my life.” Charles said, “I’ll take you to the hospital.”
The chauffeur carried him to the car. Mrs. Meyer said, “Please drop me and Tiana at the front.”
Charles said, “OK, I’ll take him to the hospital.”
That was what Mrs. Meyer meant. Knowing that Tom was going to the hospital, it was inappropriate for her and Tiana to follow.
“I want to go to the hospital with Charles.” Tiana did not want to go home with Mrs. Meyer. She preferred to stay with Charles.
Charles did not refuse.
Yet Mrs. Meyer did not want her daughter to wander around outside. “Please go home with mommy.”
Tiana took Charles’s hand and shook her head. “Mom, please go back by yourself. I’ll accompany Charles.”
Her attitude was firm and Mrs. Meyer could not force her anymore. She sighed and agreed.
Mrs. Meyer was dropped at a crowded place that was easy to call a taxi.
After saying goodbye to Mrs. Meyer, Charles asked the chauffeur to drive to the hospital. Tom was admitted into the hospital. The doctor checked and said that there was no life-threatening situation, it was all outer injury.
Knowing Tom’s situation was not critical, Charles left the hospital and paid a nurse to take care of Tom.
He indeed had no power in City B, but that did not mean he could consent to the fact that his man had been beaten.
Tom had been staying by his side like his family, how could he just let it be?
Your enemy’s enemy is your friend.
Cormac happened to be Declan’s enemy. It could be a time for them to cooperate.
He came to the WY Group, but did not find Cormac.
Meanwhile, Cormac and Boyce had gone to a private club when they heard that Declan was there.
“Are you sure?” Going through the dimly lit corridor, Cormac asked.
It was day, but the inside of the club did not have windows and it was so dark as if it was night. The club was brightened up with lights, it was very quiet.
The central air conditioner released cold breeze and the surrounding did not feel muggy.
Boyce said he was sure. “The man I sent to follow him said he came here.”
He paused. “I wish he had been killed by a car on the road that day, so he wouldn’t have to make trouble now!”
Cormac looked at him. That did not look like him.
Boyce smiled. “I can’t help complaining about him.”
Cormac retrieved his look and did not speak again.
Boyce knew Declan was there, but he did not know the exact suite he was in. “I’ll ask someone.”
Cormac agreed. Boyce went and came back, saying, “I’ve booked the 302 suite which is on the third floor, next to his.”
The reason why it was called a private club was that it was very secluded, and only those who were close to the boss were received.
Cormac was not close to the boss there, but Mr. Tyrone, who had a good relationship with him, was very close to the boss there. Knowing Cormac had come, he received him himself.
“Old Kenneth told me. I didn’t know you were coming. If I did, I’ll arrange a suite for you myself.” The owner of the club’s surname was Wells. Everybody called him Jaden.
Boyce went to inquire about Declan. Jaden knew that Cormac was coming, so he came out to receive him in person.
“You’re welcome. I may have something else to trouble you.” Cormac smiled lightly. He used to look neither enthusiastic nor cold when socializing, and his tone was just right.
“If you need anything, just tell me.” Jaden smiled. He looked decent; it was just that his nickname seemed to belong to a little gangster.
After entering the suite, Jaden introduced the uniqueness of the place. The place provided meals and drinks which was suitable for friends’ gatherings. The service was formal and cautious. Because of it being well secluded, some people would bring their girlfriends there specially for meal. The food there was very unique and rare when compared with the food outside.
“What do you need? I’ll have it delivered here,” Jaden asked with a smile.
Cormac looked around the suite. “I heard that Declan Bailey is just next door?”
Jaden paused, smiled and said, “Yes.”
“Do you have good sound insulation here?”
“That’s for sure. It’s quite good, even better than the sound insulation effect of a karaoke box,” Jaden said assertively.
Boyce glimpsed at him. “What if we want the ones next door to hear us?”
Jaden was speechless and baffled.
That was unreasonable.
Who would want their conversation to be heard?
“Are you joking?” Jaden was not sure whether Boyce meant what he said or not, or whether he was deliberately testing him.
“Do I look like I’m joking?” Boyce looked at Jaden with a straight face.
Jaden hesitated. He turned and looked at Cormac, “Well…”
Cormac cut him off and asked, “Is it difficult to do so?”
Jaden shook his head profusely. Cormac’s words made him realized that was not a joke.
