Chapter 510 Understanding the Situation
In the face of urgency, the man remained nonchalant. “Does the identity matter?”
Kaydron’s frustration reached its peak. “Of course it matters!”
It matters immensely, he seethed inwardly. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
The man shook his head helplessly. “I’m sorry, but I cannot tell you. that.”
Upon seeing Kaydron’s emotions escalated, he hastily interjected, “You can ask anything else, except that.”
After he took a moment to compose himself, Kaydron inquired, “Is Fanny involved with this individual too?”
Though he already suspected, Kaydron needed confirmation.
“Yes,” the man affirmed.
With that confirmation, Kaydron’s complexion paled.
He remembered when he first encountered Fanny, dismissing her as inconsequential. Yet, he never imagined she would conspire against
him.
“Fanny is cunning!” He clenched his fists, slamming them onto the table, his anger evident.
“Do you have any other questions, Mr. Reed?”
Kaydron glared at him with a gloomy face and demanded, “What is your objective here? To aid me?”
Though not directly employed by Fanny, this man served the same master behind the scenes, making him complicit in Fanny’s schemes.
If not for the police station setting, Kaydron would have been tempted to confront him physically to vent his frustration.
“I am here to assist you, should you choose to accept it,” the man replied calmly, leaving the decision in Kaydron’s hands.
After casually addressing Kaydron’s inquiry, the man proceeded without awaiting a response. “You now face two options. One: retain Fanny without causing harm but still accept drug–related charges, leading to imprisonment. Two: truthfully admit possession of the drugs provided by Angela, then undergo rehabilitation during incarceration. All other concerns will be handled for you.”
Kaydron fought back a laugh, opting for silence instead.
Recalling the man’s earlier mention of his family, Kaydron inquired, “And my family? Are they informed?”
“Yes,” the man replied with a gentle smile and nod.
Kaydron clenched his jaw. “If you won’t disclose the mastermind’s identity, why should I heed your counsel?”
“Even without specifics, you must realize the mastermind is not one to be trifled with. Consider, Mr. Reed, whether your family may comply even if you do not. The choice is yours,” the man urged.
“Still, wisdom lies in knowing when to yield,” the man emphasized, fixing his gaze on Kaydron.
“I wish to see Fanny,” Kaydron declared at last. “Arrange for her visit, and I’ll comply with your terms.”
In the end, Kaydron succumbed to the man’s veiled threats.
When the man subtly hinted at involving his family, Kaydron understood the game at play.
But he couldn’t afford to let his family become the focal point of the conflict, knowing it would only render him vulnerable to
manipulation once again.
Avoiding mention of his family, Kaydron’s thoughts immediately turned to Fanny.
Just the thought of her made him queasy. Despite refraining from targeting her for his family’s sake, he still harbored a deep–seated urge to curse her existence.
He yearned for a face–to–face confrontation with Fanny, to confront her about her covert actions and persistent manipulation.
Although he had known some of Fanny’s intentions before, he was so eager to connect with the Collier Family through Fanny that he never really paid attention to her tricks.
Thinking of the Collier Family, Kaydron suddenly felt a shock of horror.
He looked at the man, trying to discern if he was someone hired by
the Collier Family.
Seeing Kaydron staring at him in shock, the man casually raised an eyebrow and asked, “So, Mr. Reed, have you made your decision? If you follow through with everything, I will convey your request to meet Fanny.”
Conveying the message is one thing, but whether Fanny will come after receiving it is another.
The man looked at Kaydron but chose to keep his thoughts to himself.
Lost in thought, Kaydron blurted out, “Are you sent by the Collier Family?”
The man was initially surprised, then looked at Kaydron with confusion.
He wondered how isolated Kaydron’s information was. How could the Collier Family have hired me?
Anyone with even a little information would know that Jonathan was training with Angela, and their relationship seemed quite good.
Moreover, if he remembered correctly, Fanny also had a relationship with Yaxley.
How could Kaydron be unaware of this?
Kaydron interpreted the man’s expression as confirmation of his guess.
CapicI
“Did I guess correctly?”
If it were the Collier Family, he would find it easier to accept. After all, according to Fanny, she had a good relationship with the Collier Family.
The man replied coolly, “There’s no need to speculate. It’s not beneficial for you to figure it out.”
His words implied that Kaydron was utterly mistaken.
Kaydron was immediately stunned.
If it isn’t the Collier Family, then who can it be? Has Fanny formed a connection with someone else?
In that moment, Kaydron’s initial intention to scold Fanny diminished significantly.
As he speculated about the Collier Family, he had already formulated some calculations in his mind.
He thought that out of respect for the Collier Family, he wouldn’t be too harsh on Fanny when she arrived.
He had made a mistake this time, and he accepted it. But his family couldn’t afford any more trouble.
In his moment of confusion, Kaydron pondered many things.
However, the man paid no attention to whether Kaydron was confused. After checking the time, he said directly, “Since you’ve made your decision, you will follow through, right?”
Unuci Stan
He was about to leave but needed to confirm once more.
Kaydron, coming back to his senses with a look of despair, finally nodded. “I will follow through.”
“Okay, Mr. Reed. As long as you cooperate, your family will be fine.”
After negotiating with Kaydron, the man left.
Meanwhile, Fanny received a message from Florence’s subordinate shortly after.
“What? I have to go see Kaydron?” Fanny’s heart sank.
Kaydron had called her multiple times before, but she always hung up on him.
She believed that she could ignore Kaydron and sever all ties with him by doing so.
“What does this mean? Didn’t Miss Shelton say she would help me with Kaydron’s issues?”
When she met Florence earlier, she mentioned the possibility of Kaydron bothering her, hoping Florence would intervene.
But she never expected Florence to assist Kaydron.
“You misunderstood.” The man on the other end remained calm, with a flat tone compared to Fanny’s distress.
“Miss Shelton has already negotiated with Kaydron. He won’t bother you about Angela or even mention you, but he has a request.”
The man paused, and without hesitation, Fanny asked, “He wants me to go see him?”
