RE: Perverted Sugar Daddy System

Chapter 452 - 452: Offer

Time, that was all Mirah needed to come around, I believed.Despite my efforts, her mood remained sour, very displeased by my revelation, and in the end, I had to let her be.

Stepping out of a taxi, I came before St John's Hospital once more.

I didn't want to think, but I couldn't run away from the truth forever.

Echo!!

All was well within the building and vicinity, except I found Nadia spying on me from the building behind, using binoculars to watch me.

I stepped into the hospital, but this time, rather than go up like I had done before, I took a seat in the lobby.

Several hours had passed; it was now the dark of the next morning, and Wanda's body had been moved from the hospital ward to the morgue.

I sat in the lobby for up to 10 minutes before Nadia showed up.

She no longer wore the beigey coat she had on last time because of her flu.

She had on long black pants, something I wasn't used to seeing her wearing, had on a purple shirt, and tied her hair in a bun.

Coming from the darkness outside, her heels clicked as she moved, highlighting she was still in business mode, and she made a beeline for me.

"Good morning, sir."

Nodding, I pointed at the empty seat beside me, and Nadia took the cue.

At this time, most people in the hospital were asleep, only a few of the staff still walked around, and the lobby was empty except for the two of us.

"It's good to see you in good health, sir," Nadia said after some seconds, and I only nodded.

Her butt resting on the edge of the chair, her legs together and hands over her thighs, my PA faced me.

I ignored her gaze, my eyes directed to the wall on the other end, and a silence which could not be described settled between us.

"Sophie is alive.

Martha was with her, and she spoke of how the wounds on her body rapidly closed and she took a deep breath, opening her eyes.

Right, she's in perfect health, and we're only dealing with ways to make the miracle disappear.

Thankfully, her assassination hadn't been in an open area..."

"Sir, how did you do it?" Nadia could not hold her curiosity.

"Wanda is dead."

Nadia's bright eyes died with my words, her emotions taking a shift, something which had been trying to bury coming to the surface.

"The police sent some people over a few hours ago...." Nadia started, but I cut her off.

"I sent her to go look for you."

Another second of silence descended between us.

"Do you know who killed her?"

Nadia's lips pressed together, her brows knitting, her lips slightly trembled, and then she relaxed.

"Are you saying I had something to do with this?"

"Yes."

My immediate answer had Nadia's eyes wide, and she leaned back, looking at me in shock.

"You're accusing me just like that."

"Am I wrong?"

"I didn't kill Wanda," she said calmly.

"But you know who might have."

I didn't need to turn to see Nadia's knuckles tighten as she gripped her fists.

"The first lady, Jeniffer Clover, has been trying to recruit me the past week.

Her people came to see me yesterday.

Though I'm not sure, but if Wanda was searching for me, there is a possibility she came across them.

I just can't see any reason why they would kill her though....

Whoever killed Wanda didn't do so till they brought her in front of the hospital, where she was strangled and thrown out on the road.

This was some kind of statement to us; Jennifer has no reason to do something like that."

"Are you saying there are other forces in Kerville?"

"Yes, there is a strong chance one of your enemies followed us here."

Nadia's words perfectly matched the deduction Mirah had made. It was a shame the woman wasn't here.

"Why are you only now mentioning the first lady's advances?"

"Because I've been considering it."

For the first time since she sat down, I turned to Nadia, and her gaze met mine for some seconds before she looked down.

"Do you know about Wanda's movements yesterday?"

"Yes, I contacted the local people and dug around for information."

"Anything concrete?"

"Yes, there are strong evidence-backed sightings of her, but nothing else.

No one agrees to have seen anybody else.

She was simply there and then gone."

"Do you know where Jenifer's people are?"

Nadia's forehead knitted, and she peeked up at me.

"Yes, they are hanging around waiting for my response."

"Let's go."

Nadia looked at me, surprised as I stood, her eyes looking around as she followed me in confusion.

"Where are we going?" She asked when she saw I was heading to exit the hospital.

"Do we have a car?"

Taking the lead and bringing me to a black jeep, I had Nadia take the wheel and drive us out of the hospital's parking lot.

"We're going to find who killed Wanda."

"How?"

"We'll interrogate Jennifer's men."

Nadia's lips tightened in a frown, but she said nothing.

Kerrville wasn't a large metropolis, so in a few minutes we reached our destination.

Nadia took me to a hotel, this one different from where I had previously stayed.

The hotel was a little isolated but was quite standard. It had a fence around it, and we had to show our ID at the security before being let in.

Echo!!

My Psion leaving my mind, I got a reply from the earth, the world stretching 2 kilometres around me appearing in my head.

"You can wait here."

I moved to open the door, but Nadia hastily spoke.

"You understand the people who work for Jennifer will be state agents, right? If you do things wrongly, it could escalate into a state incident."

"I doubt the government sanctions assassinations on innocent drivers."

"You speak like they are guilty."

"Seems you've already made up your mind on their offer.

Why not come in with me and use the opportunity to drop yourself off."
