Chapter 489 Interrogation
Fingers flying over the keyboard, North managed to locate Lara’s resume. Thirty years ago, she had worked in
Kanes Corporation as Gerald’s secretary. The media exposed their affair and when Gerald’s wife found out, they
had a big fight. After that, Gerald broke off his relationship with Lara. At that time, he gave Lara one percent of his
company’s share as compensation.
North nodded. This explained why she was one of the shareholders of the Kanes Corporation. As North stretched
his body, he suddenly remembered Samantha had also once worked for Kanes Corporation too, so he checked on
her as well.
Kanes Corporation did have a secretary named Samantha Yapp and her picture did match Samantha, whom he had
met. But he still felt that something was off! North frowned a little, wondering if he was overthinking.
He stared at Samantha’s picture for a long time. Everything seemed normal but when he saw her eyes today, he

investigating a bit longer and discovered that Samantha didn’t complete the formalities for her resignation. Was it
because the information had not been updated yet or was the problem with Samantha herself? He felt it was too
much for his brain to comprehend.
Meanwhile, Eugene headed directly to Ruby Palace’s basement, as the men captured by his bodyguards were
imprisoned there.
“Mr. Nolan—” A bodyguard greeted him, only to be interrupted by Eugene. “Did you get any information?”
“They’re keeping their mouth shut and won’t say anything,” the bodyguard replied.
Eugene chuckled coldly. “You lot are doing it the wrong way. Bring them over here!”
The bodyguard responded in the affirmative. After a while, five big men were brought in front of Eugene as the
bodyguard explained, “Mr. Nolan, we only caught five of them; the rest got away.”
Eugene didn’t mind, as five were more than enough. He looked at the five men tied up in front of him. Some were
injured while others were disabled, and there was even one lying with his face on the floor. “What’s wrong with
him?”
“He got hit in the head by Miss Maxwell’s friend and hasn’t woken up since. We’ve tried everything but he just won’t
wake up,” the bodyguard explained.
Eugene was surprised. Was that woman so strong? “Turn him around!”
The bodyguard obeyed his command. When Eugene saw his face, he raised his brows slightly. Have I seen him
before? He closed his eyes and tried to remember. Taking out his phone, he gave a call to Curtis. “Bring me the
pictures you found of those who had been in contact with Luca Matthews. I’m in Ruby Palace’s basement.”
Curtis looked at the time, confused. It was already two in the morning but the president wanted him to send the
pictures over right now? However, he didn’t dare to refuse so he answered instantly, “Understood.”
Eugene hung up before looking at the four men standing in front of him. “Do you guys have any idea who the
person you robbed was?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe men lowered their heads and didn’t make a sound, trying to act tough. Eugene sneered, “Alright then. I have all
the time in the world to waste with you. Tell me the truth if you want to get out of here. If not, you can stay here
underground.”
With that, he signaled to the bodyguards standing behind him. They understood immediately and went to stand
beside each man.
The men peeked at the bodyguards beside them. It was not that they refused to speak, but they would die even if
they were to tell the truth. So every time when they went out on a mission, they would make sure they would say
the same thing—they were only following orders and didn’t know anything.
Eugene laughed cruelly as he pointed at them. “1, 2, 3, 4. Starting from left to right, those who refuse to speak will
be punished.”
“Who gave you the order to rob Olivia Maxwell? Number 1, answer me.”
The man standing on the very left was shivering when he heard this and his eyes were filled with horror. Why did
Eugene start with him?
