Chapter 105
Chapter 105 Heartless
Oakland was in an uproar.
The disappearance of Amelie was known by everyone. Starry Sea Entertainment was temporarily under Aaron’s management.
When he went back and forth between the two companies, Rohan would always ask him about Amelie’s whereabouts.
However, the reply was always the same. “Not yet.”
The Mullen family mobilized all their connections and almost turned Oakland upside
down.
But they still found nothing.
Especially Sergio. He had just landed when he received a message from Aaron. He almost grabbed the steering wheel to drive
on his own to help find Amelie as soon as possible.
“Jeff! Can you help me with something?”
Rex was the most anxious and busy one. Everyone had their network in Oakland and could ask their friends to help them.
However, because of Rex’s work, he couldn’t
mobilize anyone.
Moreover, due to the organization’s classified nature, it was difficult for the members to act on their own. Moreover, Rex could no
longer be considered a member. Every day, he was on pins and needles. He was so anxious that he went around in the streets
and alleys of Oakland on his motorcycle.
“I know. Is it about Amelie? Don’t worry, I have sent all the people in Oakland to look for her the day I saw the news.” Jeff
guessed what Rex was going to say.
“Thank you very much!”
Rex let out a long breath and felt at ease.
“Whose call?”
Lamont glanced at Jeff who just returned from the private room and casually picked up
his glass to take a sip of the wine.
“It has nothing to do with you. It won’t affect you.” Jeff smiled. “Let’s continue. Where
were we?”
“Macey has been eliminated. Only Willard, the toughest one, is left. Although you have no obligation to help me, I hope that you
can support me as a partner.”
“The toughest one...” Jeff pondered for a moment. “When I went to scout that night, I felt that he was a little abnormal. He sat
alone in the dark study room and chuckled at a broken tile. It looked quite creepy.” Jeff pursed his lips and could not help but
shiver.
Lamont looked at him in surprise and then returned to his normal expression. “He is not mentally ill. On the contrary, he is a
person who values interests above all else. I have met him many times, and I have never seen a smile on his face except when
he
faced Leila.”
“That doesn’t mean anything, right? He just dotes on his daughter, right?”
Jeff shrugged but was interrupted by Lamont.
“No, he is not as harmless as he appears on the surface. His eyes are often cold, and he looks at everyone with a judgmental
gaze as if he is calculating how much he can profit. from making friends with this person.”
Probably because he drank wine, Lamont became talkative.
“The Aylward family was once the most powerful among the Four Great Families. Even if they declined, they would not be at the
bottom. I’m afraid that Willard has a bigger
scheme.”
Jeff silently nodded. The two raised their glasses and clinked them. The clanking voice echoed in the private room for a long
time.
After the dinner with Lamont ended, Jeff went back to the high–end apartment of the Capet family in Oakland.
“Any news?”
Jeff, who returned to the apartment, replaced the indifferent expression on his face with. seriousness and looked at the few
people walking toward him.
“Not yet...”
The leader had long been shaking violently, and the others were not much better than
him.

Sure enough, in the next moment, Jeff said a cold sentence, “If you can’t even find a woman, what’s the use of me keeping you?
Just leave. Don’t forget to leave your little fingers before you leave.”
“Mr. Capet!”
Immediately, fear appeared on their faces as they surrounded Jeff and begged him.
“Mr. Capet, we will look for her seriously!”
“Give us another three days! We will definitely find Ms. Mullen.”
“Mr. Capet, please.”
The noisy pleading only made Jeff more annoyed.
“Three days again! Three days ago, you said the same! How many days can I give you? Can a person endure three days of
torture? Your efficiency is at the bottom of my family!
Get lost!‘
Under Jeff’s signal, several strong men who had been following him stepped forward and dragged the people in front of him
away.
There were several sighs from the dark, and everyone knew where they would be taken
1. to.
Under this apartment, there was a room used to fire useless people. All the people who were expelled had to go through a
procedure in that room before they left.
Someone would use a thin string to cut off their little fingers! And in the process, they
would use salt water to repeatedly wash the wound. The purpose was to keep the
servants vigilant to prevent being fired.
Jeff sat in his room for a while. When the sky was darker, he changed into a dark suit and prepared to go out.
“Mr. Capet.”
A woman called out to him. It was his childhood sweetheart, Cynthia. She was now his assistant.
“Why are you here? Has your work ended?” Jeff sized her up and continued walking forward.
“Your mother heard that you banished a few people for no reason. She was afraid that it would cause a dispute in the family, so
she asked me to come over and see what was going on.” There seemed to be a faint sadness in Cynthia’s eyes.
“For no reason? Do you want us to keep a few good–for–nothings?”
Jeff snorted coldly and quickened his pace.
“I heard that...” Cynthia paused for a moment. “Is it because of the eldest daughter of the Mullen family in Oakland, Amelie?”
Time seemed to freeze.
Cynthia knew that she had said something wrong, but she still met Jeff’s gaze. “Is that right?”
“It has nothing to do with you.”
Jeff suppressed the anger in his heart and went into a sports car to start the engine.
“Didn’t your mother say that you will marry me? Why are you so concerned about a strange woman? How can you be so
heartless to me?”
Cynthia stood straight in front of the car, expanded her arms, and blocked Jeff’s way.
The roar of the engine was getting louder and louder. Jeff was rising the speed at the same time as he stepped on the brakes.
Once he let go of the brakes, the sports car would charge forward and smash everything in the way, including Cynthia.
Damn it.
Jeff cursed in his heart. “I’ll give you three seconds. Get out of the way!”
