Chapter 714 You're a Heartless Man
Sawyer was criticized by Eliza, which made the scene very ugly.
Sawyer did not blame her. He lowered his voice and looked at Eliza. "Eliza, I am your nominal brother. I have always protected you. Why would I lie to you that Mr. Valentine is dead? I just can't bear to see you lying to yourself!"
Eliza shook her head and firmly believed that the person was not Beau.
Sawyer sighed and asked Noah, "Noah, you are Beau's assistant. You stayed with him for the longest time. Eliza and I can't beat that."
Noah was stunned. He couldn't refute it, but he always felt that it was strange.
"Tell me, is there really a red mole on Mr. Valentine's shoulder blade?"
"This... I..."
"No, right?"
"No, I just don't remember."
He was not a pervert. How could he know if there was a mole on Beau's body?
Moreover, every time he saw Beau, Beau was either wearing a suit or a coat. He would not expose his body in front of him.
Beau would occasionally go to the gym and wear a loose T-shirt, but he wouldn't look at Beau's body either.
Beau was not a girl.
"What do you mean you don't remember? There's no mole at all!"
"If you don't believe me, call Owen. He is Beau's private doctor. He should know Beau well. You can ask him if there's a mole on his body!"
Not long after, Owen rushed over. When he heard Sawyer's question, he was also stunned.
"Well... Beau's wife should know it better if there's a mole on his body."
Sawyer glared at Owen and said, "Do you mean that it's not Mr. Valentine lying there? Can you tell who he is?"
Owen took the medicine chest and said, "Although I'm not a medical examiner, I do know how to do an autopsy."
"I have professional tools here. Do you want me to do it?"
Sawyer was about to refuse, but Eliza calmed down.
"No need."
Everyone looked back in the direction of Eliza.
However, Eliza took out a phone from her pocket of which the screen had broken, and slowly walked toward the corpse.
Sawyer's heart skipped a beat.
Eliza walked up to him and first glanced at his fleshy face. Then, she turned her head away in pain.
Although it was very likely that he was not Beau, at the thought of Beau's possible injury, she felt as if her heart was being twisted by a knife.
"Although his face is damaged, his fingerprints won't change."
As she spoke, Eliza picked up the corpse's right hand and tapped the phone screen with his thumb.
After trying for a long time, there was no response from the phone at all. There was no way to unlock it.
Sawyer hurriedly said, "After the death of three hours, the weak current in his body will gradually disappear. His body temperature will decrease, and his fingers will be hard, so he can't unlock the phone at all. You can't use this method!"
Eliza suddenly raised her head and glared at Sawyer.
For some reason, Sawyer felt guilty and took a step back.
Eliza turned her head to look at Owen.
Owen nodded. "He's right."
He pointed at Sawyer.
Eliza's tears were about to fall again. She looked at Owen and asked, "Is there no other way?"
"Yes, but it takes time."
"Then I'll leave it to you. Mr. John, I want to know the truth."
Owen nodded solemnly when he saw the trust in Eliza's eyes.
Sawyer, who was standing to one side, glanced at Owen, his heart full of bad thoughts.
Since they had found him, the search and rescue team left for the time being. They had to wait for the result from Owen first.
Eliza didn't give up. She contacted the private search and rescue team and continued to search here.
She never believed that Beau had been killed. She thought that Beau must still be waiting for her somewhere.
Everyone understood her behavior very well. Noah even stayed behind to help her search.
He also hoped that Beau would be fine.
Eliza was persuaded to go back to rest. When Graciana came to pick her up, she almost cried again.
After the crowd dispersed, Sawyer left with his men.
He didn't approach Eliza, but drove to the film and television city.
After he went to the hotel where Eliza had stayed a month ago, he entered a business suite.
After carefully closing the door, Sawyer angrily looked for someone to settle accounts with.
"You almost tricked me to death!"
The person in front of him was wearing a hospital gown, with many bandages wrapped around his body. His right arm was hung in front of his chest, and there were several scars on his face.
It seemed that he was seriously injured, but at least he was alive.
Hearing Sawyer's words, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.
"Did she discover it?"
"What do you think? She even knows the mole on your body! She stripped off the corpse's shirt and told me that it wasn't you. She kept arguing with me. You don't even know the way she looked at me before she left. I'm afraid she even wanted to kill me."
The man was none other than Beau, the object of everyone's search and rescue.
A smile appeared in Beau's eyes.
"I didn't think it through. I didn't expect her to know me so well."
Sawyer rolled his eyes at him and said, "That's enough. Stop showing your affection."
His tone just now didn't seem to be saying that he didn't expect Eliza to know him so well. It was as if he didn't expect Eliza to love him so much.
In addition, the expression on his face made Sawyer feel disgusted.
"I've thoroughly offended that girl now. She probably thought that I wanted you dead so that I could steal your property. Since you're fine, why are you still pretending to be dead? Do you know how sad Eliza is?"
Beau remained silent.
Sawyer added, "It's useless to tell you. You are a heartless person. If you can still go on with your plan after seeing her current appearance, then I think you don't deserve to be a man."
Beau's throat moved, and his face was full of pain.
"I know I'm sorry for her, but... I can't tell her now that I'm still alive."
"Why?"
"It will be better for her to not know that I'm still alive."
"What do you mean?"
"Who do you think is the person who hurt me? My unlucky brother? He doesn't have such courage and power to settle the grudge between Layman and me."
Hearing that, Sawyer's expression became serious.
"What do you mean? Did you offend someone else?"
"Are you curious? I also want to know."
Beau smiled bitterly.
He had met all kinds of challenges along the way.
Originally, he should have gotten used to this meaningless hatred and resentment, but now it involved Eliza, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
Even Gellert and Nyree had not given him such a huge sense of oppression.
The opponent hiding behind him was really a scary existence.
If he wanted that person not to lay his finger on his wife and children, the only way out was to fake his death.
The reason why that person could achieve his goal was that he was hiding in the dark and no one knew about him.
What Beau needed to do now was to hide in the darker place to find this person out and give Eliza peace.
"Anyway, there are not many people I can trust now. The fewer people know about my affairs, the better. I'll leave it to you."
Sawyer rolled his eyes speechlessly and said, "Thank you for your trust."
