“He abducted Lily.”
Evan’s eyes widened when he heard this. “… What?”
At this moment, Niamh was entering the bar from outside.
In fact, she had been following Fabian all the time.
When Fabian had been looking for Carter along the way, she followed him and finally arrived at the vicinity of the bar.
Unfortunately, she had spent too much time looking for parking. She had seen Fabian entering this bar, but she did not know where he was.
Knowing that Fabian would not answer her calls, she could only find him on her own.
After Niamh had entered the bar, one after another, men flirted with her. She rejected all of them in annoyance, and she still had to look for Fabian in the crowd, but she did not find anything.
Niamh scanned the booths, bar, and dance floor, but she still did not see Fabian. All that was left presently were the private rooms.
Niamh could not think of another way. Although it would be very rude, she could only bite the bullet and search one by one…
In the private room, Evan was shocked after he heard what Fabian told him.
“ It turns out that Carter and you have this kind of relationship. Could it be that you have such a strong resentment towards Lily’s parents because Carter instigated this behind the scenes?”
Evan sighed and took a sip from his glass.
“But Fab, I know you may not like to hear this, but as your good friend and confidant, I still have to say that Kendrick and Eveline are not to blame for the deaths of your brother and sister.”
Bang! Fabian put the wine glass in his hand heavily on the coffee table.
He looked at Evan and his eyes narrowed.
Evan thought Fabian was enraged, but he did not want to change what he just said because it was the fact.
No one was to blame for the deaths of Yorick and Lana.
Just when he thought Fabian was going to argue with him, Evan heard Fabian laughing at himself.
“Yes, you are right. Kendrick and Eveline are not to blame for their deaths, let alone anyone else. If I must blame someone for that, I’d blame myself. ”
“Fab?” Surprised, Evan looked at Fabian who seemed a little drunk.
Fabian gently leaned back on the sofa, a look of exhaustion, laced with deep regret and helplessness, in his eyes.
“I knew they were handling some illegal business, but I never stopped them. I watched as they walked toward the abyss and then to their deaths…”
Fabian closed his eyes as he blamed himself. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were red.
“If I had been slightly more sensible, they wouldn’t have ended up like this, but I didn’t do anything.”
Fabian blamed himself in regret.
When Evan heard that, he felt slightly sad as well.
In fact, Fabian was not the one to blame too. Since he had not been fully mature at that time, so he would not have known much. Furthermore, Yorick had not let him know that, so it could be said that he protected Fabian very well, and because of this, Fabian was unaffected by the huge changes that came after.
Evan lifted his hand to pat Fabian on the shoulder.
“Fab, don’t think too much. How would your brother and sister blame you? They’d just hope that you stay innocent and righteous. That’s why they hid it from you. So, you don’t need to blame yourself.”
Just as Evan comforted Fabian, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open.
Fabian and Evan heard the noise and simultaneously lifted their eyes to look over.
The moment the door opened, the rowdy noise outside poured into the room, and then it disappeared the moment the door closed.
Fabian looked at Niamh who came in through the door, and this time, he was not even surprised.
“You’re an excellent stalker,” Fabian exclaimed with a half-smile.
When Evan saw Niamh’s face, he was not foreign at all. “Miss Montgomery? Did you come because of Lily?”
Niamh looked at the two young men in front of her who had drunk some alcohol and were now slightly tipsy. She then nodded.
“That’s right, I’m here to inquire about my daughter’s whereabouts.”
As Niamh said that, she looked at Fabian. “Are you here just to drink?”
“Why? Can’t I drink some alcohol?” Fabian asked sarcastically. He then took the bottle and poured himself another glass. After that, he forthrightly downed the content of the glass in front of Niamh.
Niamh furrowed her charming eyebrows. “Mr. Johnson, you’re not related to me, so I can’t control what you want to do. I came here to understand my daughter’s situation.”
“Fab told me about this just now. Your daughter has been abducted by that man named Carter Gray. I just met Carter today, and he…”
“Evan!”
Fabian suddenly called out and interrupted Evan who was still speaking.
Evan had just been continuing the conversation with Niamh, but he had not expected Fabian to react so intensely.
Evidently, Fabian was still very hostile toward Niamh.
However, Niamh was surprised when she heard that. She looked at Evan. “Did you just say you met Carter? How did you meet him?”
“Um…” Evan lifted his hand to push away the hair on his forehead. “He asked someone to contact me. ”
“Evan!” Fabian interrupted once again.
Niamh frowned at that. She looked at Fabian before questioning Evan again.
“Why did he ask someone to contact you? Why did he want to find you?”
Even looked at the annoyed-looking Fabian upon hearing Niamh’s questioning and then explained.
“He asked me to find a specialist for him. It seems that he wants to treat someone.”
The moment Evan finished saying this, Fabian stood up from the sofa with a whoosh.
He glared at Evan angrily. “I told you to shut up and you’re still babbling on. Am I your friend or is she your friend?”
Evan quickly comforted Fabian who suddenly threw a tantrum like he was comforting his girlfriend.
“Alright, alright, I’ll stop. I’m not going to say anything now. Don’t be mad, okay? Please don’t be mad.”
He comforted and then poured another glass for Fabian.
“Have some more to calm your anger.”
Fabian sat back down angrily and picked up the wine glass again.
However, he drank too fast and he started coughing. “Cough, cough.”
When Niamh saw this, she did not know how to describe how she was feeling now.
“Fabian, the rest aside, I know you and I are equally worried about Lily on this matter. I also want to know where she is. Since your friend knows something about Carter, please allow him to tell me. Is that okay?”
Niamh pleaded earnestly.
Fabian laughed when he heard that. “Eveline, are you begging me?”
“Yes, I’m begging you, ” Niamh admitted very frankly, but Fabian was stunned by this.
For some reason, the atmosphere in the room quieted down immediately. It was so quiet that they could vaguely hear the sound of music coming from outside.
Seeing that Fabian was not speaking, Niamh walked to a seat beside him and sat down, picked up a wine glass, and poured herself a glass of red wine.
Fabian looked at Niamh in confusion. “Eveline, what are you doing?”
“Don’t you want to drink, Young Master Johnson? I’ll drink with you.”
“It won’t be too late to talk to me when you’re finally satisfied.”
After saying that, Niamh also drank forthrightly and finished her glass of wine.
Both Fabian and Evan were shocked by Niamh’s move.
They had not expected Niamh to be so unaffected and cool.
They also had not expected Niamh to drink two glasses at one go.
Fabian frowned. When he saw that Niamh was about to drink the fourth glass, he stretched out his palm to hold the glass.
