Chapter 674 Isn't He Already Dead?
Fiona then gave Bernard Sophia's number. After saving it, he thanked her and left.
Feeling uneasy, Fiona followed him. "Wait, I'll come with you to find Katherine!"
Bernard kept walking, but Sunny stepped in to block Fiona. "Fiona, I think you should stay home with your grandparents; they need you more right now! Don't worry, my brother and I will find Katherine!"
Fiona frowned, clearly worried. "But..."
Sunny tried to reassure her, "Alex is gone. If you don't take care of your grandparents, how can you face him?"
Fiona's body trembled slightly. "Alright, I'll stay home. But you have to call me as soon as you find Katherine!"
Sunny nodded. "Yes, don't worry!"
After leaving the Melville mansion and getting into the car, Bernard dialed Sophia's number.
"Hello, who is this?"
Sophia's voice was light and cheerful, a stark contrast to the choked tone she had when talking to Fiona earlier.
Bernard didn't waste any time. "Where is Katherine?"
Sophia paused for a moment. "Oh, it's Mr. Bernard Mitchell! Didn't I just explain everything to Fiona? You didn't let me see Katherine, and now she's missing, and you come to me? How could I possibly know where she is?"
Bernard wasn't as easy to fool as Fiona. "Isn't the red sports car with the license plate ending in 8596 yours?"
Sophia calmly replied, "Mr. Bernard Mitchell, you're mistaken. My license plate ends in 9755! If you keep accusing me without evidence, I will really get angry! I'm already too upset about Alex; otherwise, I would definitely sue you for defamation."
Bernard narrowed his eyes in frustration, unable to do anything about Sophia for the moment.
Sunny had seen and noted the license plate 8596 when chasing Katherine. He had seen Katherine get into that red sports car with his own eyes.
But after checking, Bernard found that no red sports car had that license plate number.
The traffic cameras hadn't captured the car either. The driver must have strong anti-detection capabilities, and the car took routes without surveillance while having a fake plate.
Sophia hung up, and Bernard knew she wouldn't say anything more, so he didn't call back.
At this time, another black car quickly arrived at the Melville mansion entrance. It was Frank and Ambrosia coming to join them.
Ambrosia got out of the car and asked Sunny, "How is it? Did you find Katherine at the Melville mansion?"
Sunny shook his head. "We just went in and asked. Fiona said Katherine hasn't been to the Melville mansion."
Ambrosia frowned. "Didn't we agree not to let Katherine know about Alex before she gives birth? Why couldn't the Mitchell family handle this simple task? If you couldn't take care of her, why did you insist on bringing her over?"
Sunny felt ashamed since the situation had already happened.
Bernard sat in the car silently, lost in thought.
Frank walked over and patted Ambrosia's shoulder to calm her down. "The urgent task now is to find Katherine together. If she hasn't been to the Melville mansion, then why did she run away?"
Sunny frowned. "Isn't it obvious? It's definitely because of Alex!"
Ambrosia suddenly got it and looked at Frank. "You think Katherine might have gone to the explosion site to find Alex?"
Frank didn't nod, just said, "It's just a guess. We've searched everywhere else, except for the crime scene."
They exchanged glances and quickly got into their cars without hesitation.
Frank's car and the Mitchell family's car headed together to the factory in the suburbs where the explosion happened.
Meanwhile, in a large courtyard in a small town not far from the explosion site.
Katherine was tied up in a dirty, messy room, with the smell of barbecue and cheap beer wafting in the air.
She could occasionally hear people chatting outside.
Being pregnant, Katherine felt nauseous from the smells.
The two men who brought her here ignored her and were outside drinking and eating with their buddies.
Katherine's mouth was taped shut, preventing her from calling for help.
Not that she planned to call for help anyway; shouting without understanding the situation would only make things worse.
She moved her body, observing the surroundings, trying to use the clutter to cut the rope binding her ankles.
Suddenly, the door of the shabby room was kicked open!
"Boss, what's the point of bringing this woman here? She's pregnant and can't even have sex with us!"
"All you think about is sex!" Carl raised his chin disdainfully. "Get out. Let me talk to her first!"
The fat man scratched his head and left, closing the door behind him.
Carl walked towards Katherine, who was tied up on the ground and looked at her with contempt. "Remember me?"
Katherine raised her head and looked at Carl, unable to answer because of the tape on her mouth.
Carl just lightly kicked her with his foot. "After you ran away that time, I was hunted by Alex's men for over a year and almost died several times! He really cares about you, huh?"
Katherine's face stiffened for a moment. She hadn't known that Alex had sent people to hunt Carl afterward.
Carl slowly squatted down, his eyes filled with mockery and cruelty. "And I love destroying the things that bastard cares about, bit by bit. I want to make him suffer!"
Katherine glared at Carl, trying to make a sound.
She had something to say, but the tape on her mouth muffled her voice.
Carl saw her intention and reached out to rip the tape off her mouth.
"What did you want to say? Speak!" Carl coldly demanded.
Katherine's gaze held a trace of urgency as she looked at him. "Isn't Alex already dead in the explosion? How can you make him suffer? What's the point?"
Her urgency was in the hope of hearing from Carl that Alex was still alive.
