Chapter 157

Robert and Frederick had been buddies for almost two decades. Robert knew Frederick so well that he

could pick him out of a pile of ash. So, when Robert had just finished restoring a photo, he immediately

recognized the figure In It. That unyielding silhouette was Frederick himself

Frederick took a glance at the photo, his eyes were very sharp.

Frederick, you’re being snooped on, Robert declared steadfastly

Frederick had an aura that was rather unsettling, “Is Maurice Winston behind this?”

Robert shook his head. “Not sure. The photo was brought to me by a woman. Are you suspecting she’s

Maurice’s henchwoman?”

What’s her name?”

“She goes by Smiley online. I don’t know her real name, Robert crossed his arms, his alert expression

indicating deep thought. “But if she’s really Maurice’s henchwoman, this is a sloppy job My contact

details are no secret, and our friendship is common knowledge. Would Maurice be dumb enough to ask

me to investigate you? I doubt it”

Frederick rubbed his temples, his gaze piercing. He was about to dial a number on the landline when

Robert reached over and hung up the phone.

The man looked up, his puzzled eyes brimming with anger.

Robert knew he wanted to dig into this matter and, without a doubt, he would end up tracing it back to

Smiley

But having known Smiley for two years, Robert found her to be easygoing and a bit scatterbrained, not

at all the scheming type.

He feared this might be a misunderstanding and he didn’t want to harm an innocent person

After all, Frederick’s methods were not something an ordinary person could handle

“Get your hand off, Frederick warned

Robert met his gaze, “If she’s really Maurice’s minion, investigating this through your contacts would

set off alarm bells. But I’ve known her for two years, and if I do it, she’ll let her guard down. It’ll make

things easier”

Hearing this, Frederick’s anger–stiffened face softened a bit.

“Til get in touch with her right away. Regardless, I’ll arrange a meet–up first.”

Saying this, Robert pulled out his phone and opened his chat with Smiley, typing briefly, “I’m back in

Stonebridge City Meet up in a couple of days?”

Smiley responded quickly. “No problem! Stay in touch!”

Robert didn’t reply further. After putting down his phone, he picked up the photo again, studying it

closely. “Where was this taken? it’s all ruins around, like a demolition site”

Frederick nodded, “Cedarbrook Street. A month ago, I found that little girl from our childhood, and this

was taken at her doorstep.”

“So this is Yuna’s home?”

“Mhm”

Robert immediately furrowed his brows, his face changing.

“This is even weirder If it’s Maurice, he’s investigating you to bring you down, he could just go to Yuna

directly Why bother restoring a blumy photo? Makes no

sense

At this point, Robert was genuinely confused about their opponent’s background.

Just then, Fredenck’s phone suddenly rang.

He pulled it out and saw it was a call from Sapphire Valley Estates. As soon as he answered, he heard

Sadie’s urgent and anxious voice. “Mr. Winston! Please come home ASAP there’s been an incident

with the Ma’am!”
