Chapter 621 Are You Giving Up on Dermot Too?
"Return to Colombia," came the voice of Craig, startling Evelyn from behind. She spun around to face him, his words etching a frown onto her face. "Your presence here serves no purpose," he added, his tone dismissive. "This is my business, not yours," she retorted, feeling no compulsion to follow the counsel of a man she barely knew. "Foolish," Craig muttered under his breath, unable to contain his frustration. "The sudden predicament Dermot finds himself in suggests he's upset someone, and evidently, it's not anyone from Morris City."He had spent the past few days combing through Morris City, ensuring no local was responsible for Dermot's situation. Beyond the city limits, the most probable culprits hailed from Colombia. "I'm not certain who Dermot has offended in Colombia, but you undoubtedly do. I implore you to return and uncover the truth," Craig urged. Before Evelyn could formulate a response, Craig interjected, "As of now, there's no sign of Dermot. This could indicate he's still alive, possibly abducted by these people.""Locate them, and you might be able to rescue him."The scenario he proposed wasn't entirely implausible. Perhaps the intention was to kidnap, not to murder, which would account for Dermot's disappearance. Evelyn's brow furrowed in thought, considering the possibility that Craig's theory might have merit. She studied him, her expression a complex mixture of emotions. "Why are you helping me?""Helping you?" Craig laughed, as if she had told a joke. "I'm doing this for Dermot. He's my brother, and I won't stand idly by while he's in danger."If he had the resources in Colombia, he wouldn't need to rely on Evelyn. "Weren't you angered when Dermot failed to assist you while I was spiriting Ruby away?" Evelyn inquired, her curiosity aroused. "Angry or not, he's my brother. I won't abandon him in his time of need." It was conceivable for him to still harbor resentment towards Dermot's previous inaction, but that wouldn't deter him from aiding him now. Evelyn was somewhat taken aback by his response, beginning to reconsider her initial impression of him. She nodded in agreement, "Very well, I'll investigate. In the meantime, you handle the situation in Morris City.""Agreed," Craig responded, nodding in return. As Evelyn prepared to depart, he blurted out, "Please look after Ruby for me. I'll head to Colombia as soon as I'm able."Evelyn tensed at his words; this didn't bode well in her mind. Once she had left, Craig found himself standing at the edge of a cliff, gazing down at the turbulent river below. "Dermot, I hope you haven't misjudged her."He sincerely hoped that Evelyn would uncover some leads, as his intuition suggested that whatever befell Dermot was unquestionably linked to her. Perhaps the Kyte family was involved, specifically to distance Evelyn from him. If that were the case, Evelyn's decisions would be critical. Unaware of his suspicions regarding the Kyte family, Evelyn still harbored some trust in Blake, convinced he wouldn't resort to such measures. Her suspicions were directed towards the Roberts family – they appeared to be the most likely suspects at this juncture. With this in mind, she arranged her return flight to Colombia. Before her departure, she paid a visit to Grandpa Doyle in the hospital. Perhaps due to Dermot's troubles, Grandpa Doyle, already frail, seemed even more diminished. Evelyn was concerned. "Grandpa.""Evelyn, come sit," Grandpa Doyle beckoned, attempting to summon a smile that sadly never surfaced. "Grandpa, I'm returning to Colombia," she announced. Upon hearing her words, Grandpa Doyle's hand stilled, Are you abandoning Dermot as well?
