Chapter 270

Kingsley answered the phone with one hand. “Hello, Mr. Parker.”Mason was the one who calledhim.“Kingsley, I saw the news about the Nicholson Family Cemetery. What’s going on?”Mason hadbeen helping Reene deal with the Clark Corporation for the past two days. He immediately realized theseriousness of the situation when he saw the news.“Mr. Parker, it is still unclear what exactlyhappened. I am not in Cleapolis right now. I will only be back in about an hour!”“I told you before that itis not safe to hand over the construction of the cemetery to the Lawson Family.” Mason addedsolemnly, “Kingsley, do you think Jonah Lawson might have been the mastermind behind theexplosion?!”Jonah Lawson?Kingsley felt his heart thump when he heard Mason’s words.In fact, he hadbeen so caught up with the thought that it was the spies from Sweoya who tried to sabotage his planthat it had completely slipped his mind that Jonah also had a motive for committing the crime.Not onlythat, it was the Lawson Family’s Codrington Construction that contracted the construction of the entirecemetery!They had all the resources and timing they needed if they had wanted to blow up thecemetery.“Alright, Mr. Parker. I will start the investigation with the Lawsons.” Kingsley narrowed hiseyes and growled, “If the culprit really is Jonah, I promise to make him pay a heavy price!”“Okay,”Mason hummed as he pondered. “I’ll still be working in the Clark Corporation. Call me anytime youneed my help with anything.”“Alright. Let’s talk about it when I get back to Cleapolis. I will get in touchwith the young master of the Lawson Family first to dig for information.”After hanging up the call,Kingsley immediately made a call to Peter, to which the latter picked up almost the instant the phonerang.“Hello? Boss! I heard about what happened!”His shaky voice revealed how nervous and scaredhe must be at the moment.Kingsley didn’t expect him to have already confessed before he even askedabout it.“Peter, you should know what I am calling you for, yeah?”“Of course I know, Boss! It is bignews! How did the cemetery get blown up out of nowhere?” His tone sounded extremely anxious.“What the hell is going on here?!” Kingsley frowned when he heard Peter’s words. He could tell thatPeter was not involved in this incident at all.Instead of answering, Kingsley asked in return, “Whatabout your father? What has he been up to recently?”After all, it was Jonah who betrayed Xavier and

planned to murder Mason in the first place.That was why it was plausible that Jonah had kept Peter inthe dark about his actions.Take Trevis and Nicholas for example—they, too, didn’t know the evil thingsFelix and Matt had done to the Nicholson Family!“My father?” Peter paused for a second. “He has beenon a business trip in Diosna City. He is out of town. Why do you ask?”“He doesn’t know about theincident at the cemetery?” Kingsley frowned.“Dad has never asked anything regarding CodringtonConstruction ever since he handed me the company. What is more, why would he still care about mysmall company when he has even left my brother in charge of the affairs of the head office?” He thenlamented, “I am lucky Dad doesn’t know about this, or he would have ripped my skin off! The workerswho were killed were all from our company! Just thinking about the compensation alone makes mewant to die with them!”His bitter tone was all Kingsley needed to confirm that Peter was indeed not theperpetrator of this incident.“Alright, I got it.”Kingsley was just about to hang up the call when Peterquickly stopped him.“Hold on, Boss! What should I do about the compensation? According to thecontract, the compensation for one person is at least several million! For a small construction companylike us to pay out 20 to 30 million at one go, I—”“I will pay for the compensation,” Kingsley indifferentlycut Peter off before he could finish his sentence. “Give 10 million to each of them! It is up to you howmuch your company wants to compensate. I will leave it to you to decide.”“Aw shucks!” Peter’s voiceinstantly sounded a lot more at ease. “I feel relieved to hear that from you! You are really a kindperson!”Kingsley proceeded to abruptly hang up the phone without saying another word.His heartached at that point.It was still fresh in his memory how the workers sat by the side of the road and hadtheir boxed meals when he went over to look for Leroy.He never thought that these honest, down-to-earth people would get sacrificed because of him.What was worse was that not even their corpsessurvived the explosion.
