Genius Girl

Chapter 255 - 255: Looking for McSalter

Genius 255:

Daniella and Jared had been long gone but Evan remained staring at his hand. He knew it, he should have held her tightly when he had a chance.

He sighed and shut his eyes. He forced himself to sleep and let the pain blur his mind.

After calling his head of security Dylan to get information about Daniella Althea stayed, she sat on the chair next to the bed and lay her head on the bed. She was really sleepy so she shut her eyes and fell asleep as well.

She didn't know how did Jared get past her guards but they were all unconscious after the two left.

Meanwhile, Ken flew back to his country after getting the confirmation that Amy's assistant was indeed Jared's sister.

Sitting on the private plane, he looked down at the phone in his hand with a photo of Daniella. He gulped hard and looked at the window. The sun was about to rise, he hadn't had any proper sleep in the last days and he believed he won't get any in the next days.

After the plane landed, Ken was met by Kuwan. He came into the backseat of the black sedan and drove to where Jared's sister was living.

The car stopped on the side road. Ken came out and followed Kuwan. They walked on a narrow path, there was a small canal on the side which was full of garbage and flies flying around.

Ken covered his nose, his face screwed in disgust. Just what kind of place is this? He asked in his mind.

Kuwan stopped in front of a small house. He knocked twice and the door was pulled opened by the same man Ken saw on the photo.

"Are you Angelo McSalter?"

The man nodded and widened the door, "I have seen you before," his eyes looked deeply at Ken and soon his face brightened up, "huh! You are my daughter's patience!"

Ken rose a brow in surprise.

'Patience?'

"My daughter went out to buy something. Come in, come in."

Ken was simply speechless. They were here to take them but the man welcomed him into his house with a warm smile.

"I am here because of Brent McSalter."

By that name, Angelo froze. He stared at Ken while his face was starting to pale.

"My son said he will send someone to keep us safe. Is it you?" Angelo asked in an almost whisper.

Ken was bewildered. How would he say that he was here to kidnap them and not really save them?

Then a woman emerged from one of the room. Her dress had faded its colour while her face was wet and looked tired.

Suspicion rose in Ken's mind. The Queen of Galla said that Brent and his family were trying to fight for the throne but this family, living in the area surrounded by rat didn't look like they want the throne.

"Brent has sent someone to keep us safe," Angelo's voice was full of relief, "Brent told us to keep our location hidden even to him. We parted ways after Althea's mother found us. She tried to kill our daughter Novie."

Ken remained silent. Afraid that if he spouted a word, they would realize that he was here for another reason.

And hearing that story has made him think that this family definitely didn't want the throne but he needed to confirm that, so he asked:

"Where do you want to go now?"

Angelo stared at him. For a moment, Ken thought that he had figured out the real reason why he was here.

"We only want safety for our daughter. She didn't know about this so all we want is to live somewhere far from Althea."

Ken's clenched his fists. These people were royals but they were willing to live in a ragged place to keep their family safe.

Seemed like Althea was not telling the whole story. She only said that Jared wanted her dead so his family can take over the throne since the man named Angelo killed her father who happened to be Novie's uncle.

So, all the time Jared was beside Kim, all he wanted was to find his family and make them feel safe.

A slight pity touched his heart. He got up and started leaving, he just couldn't take these people and bring them to Althea as she asked him to do in exchange for Evan's safety.

He didn't know what came into him. Before he would sell anyone's soul to keep his friend safe but these people were hiding like rats in the sewer to be safe. It wouldn't be fair if he handed them to Althea without knowing what she would do to them.

When his hand reached for the doorknob, the door opened and hit his face.

He fell on the floor with his hand covering his bleeding nose.

The darkness lit up his eyes and waited to murder the person who pushed the door. He didn't hear a knock, so he wasn't expecting anyone to barge in.

He was about to stand when a foot stepped on his leg; he slapped the leg away resulting for the person to lose the balance.

Ken widened his eyes when he saw a woman's body loosening her balance and falling down to his direction. He grunted when his back felt the hard floor while the woman lay on top of him.

"ouch," the woman exclaimed, face buried on his shoulder. Annoyance filled Ken's head when he heard her complaining.

Ken's nose wrinkled with annoyance as he spoke in a cold voice.

"ouch? Really? You smashed the door on my face, stepped on my legs, pushed my body on the ground and all you have to say is ouch?" his hands were itching to throw the woman out of the country and send her to Amazon.

To his surprise, the woman placed both of her hands on his broad chest and looked straight at his eyes.

Round face, fair skin, small eyes, sharp nose and pointy cheeks. That's what registered on Ken's mind, the woman in front was charming but his rage exceeded the beauty he saw.

Her small eyes went round with shock. Ken wasn't sure whether she was faking her shock

Eventually, her eyes went back into normal shape. She got up and run behind Angelo.

Ken was left lying on the floor speechless. The woman didn't even say sorry for hurting him instead she ran away as if she had seen someone who was going to kill her.

His mind froze for a moment. Realizing that he was actually here to deliver them to their death.

He got up and looked at the woman trembling hiding behind her father.

"What..." Novie's lips quivered upon seeing Ken's face, "what are you doing here Mr. Chu?"
