Chapter 61: Something Fishy
“Do you know what fear is? Back then, when we did those things, did you ever feel afraid?” The man sounded genuinely angry. “Damn it, if I didn’t remind you, would you have forgotten everything? You’ve been living a comfortable and enjoyable life all these years, but what about me? I’ve been hiding and dodging, have you ever cared about me?”
My heart raced wildly. It seemed that Sherry was not a simple person, and the man’s words were quite revealing. However, why hadn’t Albert mentioned anything about it in the information he found?
“Adam, you better keep your mouth shut!” Sherry warned Adam in a low voice, “Otherwise, no one will live!”
This made me even more certain that whatever they did before was a big deal.
After a quiet moment, Sherry’s gentle voice came again, “Adam, I appreciate everything you’ve done for me. I won’t treat you unfairly. But, your well-being depends on mine. This time, I won’t let your investigation go in vain.”
It seemed like Sherry was changing her strategy and using a more gentle approach.
“Even if you find out, what can you do? I remind you, this guy is not a good person. You are just deluding yourself!” Adam’s tone softened, sounding a bit like he was advising.
“Do you know anything? If I didn’t have confidence, could I have persevered like this? I won’t easily give up this opportunity. He must give me an explanation!” Sherry retorted fiercely. “When the time comes, even if I let go, he has to pay me a satisfactory price! I won’t do useless work; you can rest assured!”
“Are you implying… you have something on him?” The man asked in a low voice, excitement evident in his tone.
“It’s more than just having something on him!” Sherry replied disdainfully.
“Tell me about it; I want to hear.” Adam playfully insisted.
Sherry snorted, “You know too much; it’s not beneficial. Just hurry up and find out the details of this woman! I won’t allow any complications in my plan.”
“Well, you’ll have to provide me with some spare cash; I’m tight on money right now!” Adam chuckled.
“Just investigate! Be thorough!” Sherry impatiently instructed.
Not long after, a mobile phone notification sound came from the other side, followed by Adam’s complaint, “30, 000? What can I do with that? You know the cost of doing this kind of thing is high now. You want me to find out everything about her just from a photo? Do you think I’m Spider-Man? This requires hiring a professional!”
“You start the investigation first, and when you’re done, I’ll give you 30, 000!” Sherry said impatiently.
“Sherry, are you going to take action again? Don’t come to me this time!” The man’s voice sounded somewhat worried. “I have my own ways!” Sherry confidently replied. “They won’t find anything on us! Besides, this was his idea, but once it succeeds, he shouldn’t think about reneging on the deal.”
Her implication made me think about the things that were still in her hand.
“Alright, I’ll do my best!” Adam said, chuckling. “Let’s go somewhere else. What’s the point of sitting here for coffee? It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other.”
“I have other things to do!” Sherry was clearly making excuses.
“What fuck urgent matters? Nothing is urgent for me. Come on! I’ve been waiting for a long time. You have to appease me!” The man was persistent, seemingly in a hurry.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Of course, I understood what urgent matters meant in the man’s mouth and cursed under my breath. The two were shameless.
There was a rustling sound from the other side, along with Sherry’s annoyed voice, “Shit, showing no consideration for the occasion. Let’s go!”
“Well, Let’s change a place. When asking for a favor, there should be some manners, right?” The man insisted, indicating his impatience.
“Then let’s go quickly!” Sherry coquettishly replied.
“That’s right, while he’s playing with other women, you shouldn’t be idle!” The man chuckled lasciviously, followed by the sound of the adjacent door opening.
I held my breath, listening to the fading footsteps of the two. After a moment’s thought, I sent a message to Albert.
Since someone was ready to take action, I might as well enjoy the show. Let Sherry get what she wants as soon as possible!
