Trapped in Love

Chapter 923

After that, Thomas promptly returned to his car and settled into the driver’s seat in a trance.

He pondered on the identity of the individuals and whether they belonged to Scott’s entourage.

Inexplicable terror gripped his heart, though he reassured himself that Greta, Caroline, and the children were safe.

Otherwise, the bodyguards wouldn’t be stationed at the door..

However, the perplexing aspect was why they needed to remain there, and Thomas questioned whether involving the police was necessary.

After a brief moment of contemplation, he decided to contact Evan to discuss the unfolding situation, only to discover that Evan’s phone was switched off.

Frowning, he retrieved Reuben’s contact information, which he had saved previously.

Reuben answered the call, leaving Thomas baffled, “Mr.

Xander=” Thomas cut him off.

“Is Evan with you, Reuben?” After a pause, Reuben detailed the events that transpired in Muricia.

After processing the shocking information, Thomas found it challenging to snap back to reality.

He couldn’t comprehend why Scott displayed such cruelty, seemingly targeting everyone.

Suppressing his pain and indignation, Thomas said, “Understood.” “Why did you call me, Mr.

Xander?” Thomas explained the unsettling scene he had witnessed.

A moment of silence passed before Reuben spoke.

“You can seek assistance from Mr.

Price and Mr.

Jensen if you don’t mind.

I need someone to manage Mr.

Jordan’s company in the country.

I’m currently in Muricia and unable to leave at the moment…” “Okay, text me their contact numbers.” “Will do,” Reuben promised.

After ending the call, Reuben swiftly fulfilled his promise, and Thomas contacted Alex.

Alex answered after a brief delay.

“Hello?” “I’m Thomas Xander, Carol’s uncle.” Stunned, Alex said, “Oh, Mr.

Xander.

I’ve read the news.

Did they find Neil?” The mention of Neil brought forth pain for Thomas, which he managed to suppress.

“Do you have a minute to spare, Alex? Let’s meet up.

I’ve got something to say to you.” Thomas and Alex met at a cafe near the hospital 20 minutes later.

Alex almost failed to recognize Thomas upon seeing him.

Thomas had stubble and dark circles under his eyes as if he hadn’t slept for days.

His hair was disheveled, and his clothes were dirty and wrinkled.

Alex looked at Thomas with a complex expression. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“You should rest more, Mr.

Xander.” Thomas shook his head and replied, “I don’t have the time and energy for that.

Evan has had an accident.” “Accident?” Alex blinked in confusion.

What accident? What happened to him?” Thomas looked at Alex.

“The helicopter he was in exploded.” Alex’s hand trembled as he reached for a cup of water.

Gradually, he narrowed his eyes, lips twitching.

“You can’t make such a joke.” this isn’t a joke.” Thomas leaned forward, covering his face in pain.

“Kenny is dead, and Neil is missing.

My wife, Caroline, and her kids are confined in the hospital.

I’m at the end of my rope now.” The news hit Alex like a sledgehammer–he couldn’t believe his ears.

After all, Evan had proven resilient, surviving numerous hospitalizations and personal struggles for Caroline.

Alex couldn’t fathom how a helicopter ride could lead to Evan’s demise.

The disbelief gripped him as he looked at the phone on the table.

Reacting quickly, he called Reuben for confirmation.

Thomas didn’t intervene as Alex conversed with Reuben over the phone.
