Chapter 144 A Trap

The ward that Adams was staying in had always been guarded by bodyguards. Few people could enterand exit freely. Apart from Karley, only Cindy Waller, the nurse who was responsible for taking care ofAdams, was allowed to enter and exit the ward that day.

Karley naturally couldn’t take care of Adams herself, so Anaya asked the private detective to focus allhis attention on Cindy. Sure enough, he soon found the problem.

Cindy had a husband who did not work. He had been unemployed before, but yesterday he suddenlyfound a well–paid

job.

After verification, HR had indeed accepted bribes, which was why Cindy’s husband went to work.

Aracely went to the detective’s office with Anaya. When she received the news, she almost smashedher cup.

“Fuck, Karley is too ruthless! Adams is her biological grandfather! How can she do this to him!”

Anaya patted her hand, indicating for her to calm down, and then looked at the detective again.

“Do you have concrete evidence?”

“We only have the record of Karley’s payment for that HR. I’m afraid it will be difficult to testify againstKarley with this evidence.”

Anaya tapped her finger on the brown wooden table and said, “I’ll take it from here. Thank you for yourhard work.”

She paid and took Aracely away.

After leaving the detective’s office, Aracely asked, “Since the people here can’t get the exact evidence,I’m afraid this matter is not easy to handle… What are your plans?”

Anaya stopped and stood sideways in the twilight in a gloomy expression. “I need a few people.”

Aracely was suspicious. “Do you want to make them confess under torture? This won’t have any legaleffect…”

The corners of Anaya’s lips curled up with coldness. “I will let them admit it themselves.”

Cindy took care of Adams in the hospital until nine o’clock at night and returned home after changingshifts. When she got near home, she saw a few men with sticks wandering downstairs of her house inthe distance.

Cindy was shocked and quickly hid in the small alley at the side.

The few men downstairs leaned against the wall and chatted. One of them smashed the iron bar in hishand against the wall Cindy’s heart trembled when she heard the sound.

The man said in a rough voice, “Why isn’t Cindy back yet? Ms. Karley said that if this woman leaveshere alive tomorrow, we’ll be screwed!”

“Let’s wait a bit longer. I remember that she usually gets off work at this time. It should be soon.”

Their voices were particularly loud, echoing through the empty road.

When Cindy heard their conversation, her face instantly turned pale.

Karley wants to burn the bridges! thought Cindy.

Cindy wanted to escape. In a moment of desperation, she accidentally bumped into the trash canbehind her, making a

1/3

loud noise.

The few men who were waiting downstairs heard the noise and ran over.

“It’s Cindy! Catch her!”

Cindy was frightened and ran around in the alley.

The few men behind her chased her so tightly that Cindy couldn’t get rid of them no matter what.

She ran up the main road and saw a car parked by the side of the road. She ran over to open the doorand got in without hesitation but found that the door was locked.

Through the car window, she could see someone inside, but she could not see who it was.

Hearing the footsteps coming closer and closer behind her, Cindy anxiously knocked on the carwindow. She begged in

a broken voice.

“Please… Please open the car door. Someone wants to kill me…”

The next second, the car door opened..

“Come up.”

The voice coming from inside the car was somewhat familiar, but Cindy did not have time to think andimmediately

sat inside.

The moment the car door closed, the car dashed out.

Cindy turned around and looked at the group of people who were left behind further away. She finallycalmed down a

little.

She turned to look at the person in the driver’s seat and wanted to thank him.

After seeing that the person driving was Anaya, she was shocked and looked away guiltily.

“Ms. Dutt, why… Why are you here?”

Anaya looked at the road outside the car with a faint smile on her lips. “I found something interestingand wanted to ask you about it.”

“What did you replace?” asked Cindy, clutching her seatbelt.

“My grandfather suddenly fell ill. It was Karley who asked you to drug him, right?”

Cindy’s heart tightened as she hurriedly explained, “It wasn’t me! I have no enmity with Mr. Dutt. I…”

Cindy was so nervous that she couldn’t utter a complete sentence while Anaya said unhurriedly,“Cindy, I already have the key evidence of this matter. You don’t have to quibble.

“I came to replace you today to ask you to help me testify about what Karley did. Of course, if you don’twant to, I can continue to investigate myself.”

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about…” Cindy’s eyes darted in different directions.

“Cindy,” Anaya interrupted her. “If you are willing to help me testify to it, I can guarantee your safety. Ifyou take the initiative to turn yourself in, the sentence can be lighter.

“Furthermore, Karley is cruel. She even dared to harm her grandfather. As one of the insiders in thismatter, you have no power or influence. Do you think she will let you go?”

Anaya‘s words reminded Cindy of what had just happened.

She was silent for a long time before she sald with difficulty. “Can you protect the safety of my husbandand me?

Secine that Cindy had fallen into the trap. Anaya curled lier lips. “Even if I don‘t have the strength, thepolice will still have it.”

Cindy still had a lingering fear of what had just happened. She threw caution to the wind. “I‘ll go to thepolice station with you tomorrow.”

“Don‘t worry. Before that, I still have something I need you to do.”

Anaya found a hotel and temporarily placed Cindy there. She then found two people to keep an eye onCindy before leaving

When she got home, Anaya received a call from Aracely.

“Anaya, is the matter settled? Is Cindy willing to help you?”

Anaya looked tired as she sat down on the sofa with Sammo in her arms.

“Yes, she has already agreed. I‘ve troubled you just now. Sorry to let your people act like bad guys.”

“Don‘t mention it,” Aracely said with pride. “By the way, will Cindy be frightened or change her mind atthat time? If she doesn‘t say it, it‘ll be a toughie.”

“It‘s okay. I recorded it tonight.”

“Anaya, I didn‘t know before that you were also a scheming girl.”

“I was forced by life.”

“By the way, is there any news from Hearst?”

Ar the mention of this, Anaya‘s mood instantly sank

She also called Hearst today, but it still couldn‘t get through.

It was the same for both Samuel and Jayden.

However, held back by her family matters, Anaya could only let her subordinates go over to check onthe situation.

However, even after checking on it for a day, her subordinates still could not replace news related toHearst.
