Chapter 108 - 108: Unamendable faith
Staring at the blueprint of the Chu"s residences , Daniella who was sitting on the driver seat of her 20-year-old Mercedes took a gulp of the hot coffee she bought.
Her phone was shut off , she even turned off the GPS of her car so her friend couldn"t track her.
It was past 8 and Ken Chu hadn"t arrived at his house. She started to wonder if he was actually coming home. It was Sat.u.r.day so his company was closed.
"Is he in the bar?" She murmured. She wanted to track him but she didn"t want to turn on her phone.
She shut her eyes for a moment, her feelings wavered over the article she read, somehow it was not as painful as she thought it would be .
Opening her eyes, a giant groan was released from her lip. She was about to start her car which was parked on the side road some meters away from the Chu Residence gate when a van suddenly stopped in front of the gate.
Daniella squinted, her hand reached for the binoculars and used it to peek at the pa.s.senger inside the van.
Her teeth bit her lower lips as she watched two girls with blonde curly hair and tight mini dresses getting out of the van.
"What"s happening?" she asked herself.
Soon another car stopped in front of the gate. It was a silver Mercedes s600, one honked and the gate was opened.
Through the windshield of the driver"s side Daniella was able to see the driver. It was Kuwan , Ken Chu"s a.s.sistant.
"Finally!" Daniella exclaimed , she thought she would need to come back tomorrow to meet Ken Chu but since he was home, she could finally talk to him.
Daniella got out of the car and grabbed her bag pack with the smoke bomb, knives and silent pistol inside. She rarely used guns and she only used it when she ran out of knives.
She moved like a ninja and climbed onto the wall , thankfully she brought the special gloves she made which allowed her to climb the two-meter-tall wall without a problem.
She climbed swiftly like a spider, when she reached the top she jumped down like a bunny.
With the blueprint of the whole house in her head , Daniella found her way to the back kitchen quickly.
As she entered, her hand grabbed two smoke bombs.
She took the path towards the living room, the floor which was fully carpeted had been a huge help to her because her footsteps would not to be heard.
She heard people laughing, her eyes squinted as she followed the sound only to find that it was the living room.
Daniella took her time and looked around, the short hallway with portraits hanging on each side of the walls could give anyone a chill, the eyes of the people in the portrait seemed to be like that of the Mona Lisa that whenever you go the eyes would follow you.
She tiptoed as she walked into living room, her movement was just as quick as lighting and she immediately hid behind the curtain, she slowly bent her body and rolled the smoke grenade on the floor after removing the pin.
Based on her calculation, the voices she heard in the living room seemed to belong to eight different men and the paper she got up Scott stated that Ken Chu has five men working as a guard in the night. He didn"t have a female employee in the house, his guards cleaned the whole place and probably cooked his food as well.
Soon, a hissing sound exceeded the laugh of the men in the living room, Daniella who was hiding behind the curtain slightly peeked and smiled to see that her calculation was right, all the different voices she heard were from eight people as she predicted.
"What is happening?" One of the men asked but no one gave an answer as all of their bodies started to feel weak and they slowly fell onto the couch they were sitting on.
When everyone was down Daniella emerged from behind the curtains and looked up ahead where a stair twice as big as the stairs at Evan"s villa was leading to the second floor.
She knew Ken Chu was there and that he was with two women.
Thinking of that, Daniella"s face wrinkled "Aish! Disgusting man!" she said and rushed upstairs.
--
A car hauling a wretched car behind stopped in front of the Su Villa Gate. Claire and Irene inside the police car have decided to deliver the destroyed car themselves so they could explain the situation to Evan.
Irene got down from the car and went to the small guardhouse on the left side of the gate.
"Mr. Guard we have a delivery for Evan Su, tell him it"s from Daniella" Irene said, she had her police uniform on.
The guard did not bother to call the other guards inside to confirm the delivery, he opened the gate and looked at the car with perplexity on his face , wondering why the car was destroyed.
In the study room Evan ma.s.saged his temple as he read the article on his tablet , a few sighs let out from his lips as he wondered if Daniella had read the article.
He has been trying to call her since he found out about it, few reporters were in front of the villa earlier but thankfully Anders was able to chase them away.
He once again dialed her number but it was out of reach and soon a maid came rushing in .
"Mr. Su , Ms. Chen"s car is outside and two women wanted to speak with you."
Without a word Evan got up and walked with big steps towards the door. He rushed towards the two familiar women with his eyebrows gradually creasing.
His heart pounded to see the car he bought for Daniella behind a police car which seemed to have been wrecked by a madman.
"Did she get into an accident?" fear swept across his eyes while his hands clenched into fists. His whole soul wavered and shook like a leaf at the thought of Daniella in a car accident .
"What is happening?" his voice was almost faint, inside his mind wanted to explode.
Irene could see the fear in Evan"s eyes, she took her phone and showed him the copy of the CCTV video at Claire"s parking lot showing Daniella smashing the car.
Slowly Evan"s eyebrow rose, he let out a relieved sigh to know that Daniella was alright.
"Where is she?" he asked, switching his sight to Claire and Irene.
"No idea " Irene answered, shrugging both shoulders "but she said and I quoted "get this car towed and send the bill to Mr. Su please "
Evan gulped hard as he tried to imagine the look on Daniella"s face when she said that. He was not bothered by the article as it was not real but somehow they were able to capture the moment when Camille kissed him.
"How angry is she?" Evan asked. Voice started to sound coa.r.s.e as he wondered if Daniella would suddenly disappear.
"You"ve seen the car right?" Irene said pointing at the wrecked car "and she"s back to calling you Mr. Su so... pretty angry that she decided to break up with you."
Those words irked in his ears, his spirits sank like a stone in a river and somehow his heart didn"t feel as if it was real
"No" he said in his mind "she will come back" he said to convince himself.
Claire"s face softened upon seeing the pain that flashed on Evan"s face. She knew that he loves her but with their families situation, to her opinion it might be best if the two would continue to walk on separate paths.
"Mr. Su " Claire called him out , as much as she hated to say it, she needed to for their own sakes, "Daniella"s first boyfriend , the one she met at the orphanage cheated on her " she paused "I don"t know what happened but when she found out about his affair she ahm-" Claire cleared her throat "she disappeared."
Claire elevated her face to meet Evan"s face "and I think she"s gone for good. You should know that you"re the only reason why she stayed in your house but after this, I think you"ve lost her for good and" she took in a deep breath, preparing herself to watch the look of pain that would envelop Evan"s face, "I think it"ll be better if you two would break up. This is for the best after all your relationship is unamendable " she noticed that his senses swam dizzily like the heavy clouds in the sky as much as she wanted to comfort him she couldn"t , he was just not good for Daniella.
Evan did not reply, he heard her but her voice was like a hush of a breathless lyre, he could not discern was she was saying as his heart knew that Daniella would come back.
A part of him knew that she would come back.
