Sweet Twins

Chapter 552 All Lies

Dale's eyes were windows of his soul so Jay could find out clues about the truth. Right now, Dale's lies were nothing but lame ones. If Jay was not mistaken, most of what Dale had just said was a lie.

All the words came from Dale's mouth were nothing but lies.

"I know now!" Dale's face turned down but he managed to give a smile. "It's a woman. There is a woman here who works for the cook. She's the one who buys vegetables and other ingredients in the market. Until one day, she went out to buy some vegetables and she got lost. It's been 24 hours and still she hasn't come back yet, so I was eager to ask my men find her. I have no idea where she is. " Dale's face was filled with confusion and he just shook his head helplessly.

Charles took this opportunity to ask, "Uncle Dale, what's the name of that woman?"

"I don't remember her name. I forgot it." Dale was embarrassed. "What's the name of the missing woman?"

He tried to give a look at his men and asked for an answer, but they all shook their head. "I'm sorry, sir, but we don't know."

No one dared to tell the answer. And if they just tried to make a random name and was questioned by Charles, they might get suspected.

"Alright. Since nobody from you was able to tell her name, the cook must know who the woman who works for him is, right?" Jay asked in a stern voice.

"Oh yeah, the cook! Let's go to him now. Where is the cook located?" Dale seemed to be feeling uncomfortable. His facial expressions changed and drops of sweat were all over his forehead.

"Well actually, yeah the cook. I believe he has gone out to look for her as well." one of Dale's men stammered as he was feeling uncomfortable.

"But we didn't hear anyone calling that woman's name just now. Are they just looking for her without shouting her name? Isn't it like looking for something that you don't know what to call? It's like looking for a specific fish in a vast ocean." Dale felt bombarded when Charles and Jay blasted their questions quickly.

With this, Dale couldn't fabricate a different story.

"Well I didn't go out this morning and I have no idea about their ways on finding her. I think we should just wait for them to come back and ask them." Dale already lost his confidence and couldn't help but stutter.

While talking to Jay and Charles, Dale had thought of something. If these two men didn't want to let him go, he'd better call all his subordinates back as soon as possible so that they could protect him. Since he sent half of his men outside to look for Nancy, only half were left with him. If they ever had a conflict with Charles, Dale had no chance to win.

Dale believed that a wise man chooses his battles. The most important thing was to protect his own life.

However, as soon as Dale finished his thoughts, Charles shouted at his men, "You must guard the door strictly and don't allow anyone to go out. Control the people here and confiscate their mobile phones."

The moment Charles finished his words, he reached out his hand and said, "Uncle Dale, I want your phone. Do you have any objection?"

"What do you mean by that, Young Master?" Dale's facial expression obviously changed in a snap. He looked at Charles with hatred.

"What do you think we mean? Uncle Dale, there's no need for you to panic. Just now, you said that you still follow Frederic's command. As the grandson of Frederic, Charles asked you for your phone. So

you shouldn't hesitate to give it to him." Jay explained it logically to Dale and took the opportunity to provoke Dale.

Dale didn't reply but his face seemed to be unhappy. Instead, he reached out for his phone and his hand was obviously shaking.

Dale had been in the business for so many years, but he was still so nervous when issues arose.

"Here's the phone, Young Master. Take it." Dale took out his phone because he was left with no choice.

"Well, I knew you are still loyal to our family." Charles' face lightened up and a smile was drawn to his lips. With the series of questions he asked, Dale had shown his weakness.

If Charles was not mistaken, the men who were sent outside were looking for Nancy.

Nancy might not be lost. She might escaped intentionally!

And since she already made it outside, she was still alive. NôvelDrama.Org content.

Charles glanced at the bloodstain in the surface and felt his heart banging with emotions. He hoped it was not Nancy's blood.

"I want you to open this door, Uncle Dale. We'll look inside the room." Charles pointed at a door. He took a deep breath and noticed blood at it.

Dale was stunned. "Well, Young Master, this room is for reinforcements. This is where I punish my subordinates. You know, some of my men will commit mistakes and as their superior, I need to enforce an iron hand. It would prevent them from making more mistakes. So it's a mess here. If I were you, I'd better not look at it."

"Huh? You don't want to listen to your young master?" Jay asked again thinking he heard it wrong.

"Oh please don't misunderstand me," Dale replied while still standing there.

"I will not repeat this. Open it," Charles said in a commanding voice.

"But..." Dale stood still at his position.

"You're challenging me. Kick the door open!" Charles insisted.

"Yes, Young Master." Charles' men answered and began to kick the door.

"Hi-yaaa. BANG!" The door was about to fall. Only few parts were left hanging.

Of course, Dale didn't want to sit still and wait for his death. He turned around and acted as if he was leaving.

"Uncle Dale, where are you going?" Charles stopped him.

"My stomach suddenly hurts. I must have eaten something bad and I need go to the bathroom. Ouch, it hurts so much. Look at me. I think what I had for breakfast was unclean. My stomach hurts like hell. Ouch!" Dale shouted, holding his stomach.

"You can't leave now, Uncle Dale. I'm sorry," Charles said in an authoritative voice.

"Young Master, it's true that I'm a servant of Fu family and have worked hard for your family for so many years. But why won't you allow me to go to the bathroom? I need to call Master Frederic. Give my phone back!" Dale said angrily as his face turned red.

"I'm sorry but you can't contact anyone." Charles didn't bend his words. He was a man of principle.

His grandfather trusted Dale so much that he must not be aware of Dale's intentions. Since his grandfather had always been a kind person, he wouldn't do such thing against his conscience.

Dale was known for doing bad things even against the reputation of their family, especially his grandfather. It must be him who plotted evil things.

"Ouch! My stomach hurts so bad. Please call the doctor for me." Dale just wanted to ask someone to go out and inform his men outside. Charles already controlled Dale's remaining men. If Dale continued to stay there, he would be in danger.

Then, Charles caught him like a rat in the hole. Dale was caught alive and trapped here, right?

Charles made Dale powerless by removing his means to contact the outside world. He was letting him now to sit still and wait for death.

Oh God! Why did Charles come now?'

Dale had no chance at all. He thought that Charles might come here and he had made a lot of plans, but he didn't expect that Charles would break through all his plans.

Now the truth was like a box in front of them, waiting for someone to open it. If Charles opened the door later, everything would be exposed to the world.

Dale was left with no chance to escape.

Dale was lost thinking of how to escape, but then the door opened with a loud bang.
