Chapter 272 How dare you betray me
Chapter 272 How dare you betray me
Kate didn’t help, so Luke looked for information through other channels. He asked all his friends and wanted to find Claire at all costs.
Claire and Conan couldn’t disappear for no reason. Luke started his investigation near her home. Then he just had to wait for the news.
So now Leo and Luke are in the office and waiting for the last word.
As time goes by, Luke looks at his watch from time to time. The air pressure around Leo is getting lower and lower. Luke can’t help feeling stressed. There is a drop of sweat on his forehead.
If his people can’t tell him the news in time, Leo may do something.
Six years ago, he was speeding for Claire and had a car accident. What about now?
More than ten minutes have passed. Leo moves. He raises his wrist and looks at his watch. He says in a low, knell like voice, “Luke...”
Luke is nervous to hear Leo call his name. Suddenly his cell phone rings. Luke breaths a sigh of relief and answers the phone quickly. He listens to the news reported to him by his people.
But the news disappoints Luke.
Luke hears everything that happened. He seriously puts down his phone and looks at Leo and says nothing.
“What’s the matter?” There’s a little anticipation and tension in Leo’s voice.
“...” Luke moves his mouth and quickly organizes the information he hears in his brain. He tries to tell Leo the news in a way that Leo can accept.
“... As far as I know, Claire is now with a friend of hers. We don’t have to worry about her safety.” After thinking for a while, Luke says.
Hearing this, Leo raises his eyebrows. His face is a little unhappy. He asks in a deep voice, “which friend? Who is she with? Why is she there?”
“Leo...” Luke takes a nervous look at Leo and says, “Claire and Conan got into someone’s car the night before yesterday. My people didn’t see who he was. But Claire didn’t resist, so this person was definitely someone she trusted. He’s probably her friend...”
“Say the point!” Leo interrupts Luke impatiently.
Luke pauses and says seriously, “I think Claire took Conan to her friend’s house for a while. We don’t have to worry about her safety...”
“Which friend! Man or woman!” Before Luke finishes, Leo suddenly stands up angrily. He slaps the table with his big hand and roars.
“... Man. As for which friend, my people say they don’t know...” Luke says with difficulty. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
His people have been investigating for a day but only find out about it, so he gets frustrated after answering the phone.
Such a little news was not enough to eliminate Leo’s anger or persuade him. After Luke hangs up, he knows Leo will be as furious as he is now.
Sure enough, after hearing Luke’s words, Leo kicks his desk and it goes awry. Items on the desk fall to the ground. All kinds of sounds sound, but Leo doesn’t care. His face is horribly black.
“It’s a man!” Leo’s words almost come out of his teeth.
Anger almost occupies his mind. Leo’s eyes are red, and the powerful low pressure is terrible. Even Luke dares not comfort him.
Leo’s heart aches even more after he loses his temper. He trusts Claire but she said good night to him and left with someone else!
Good job! No wonder she didn’t let him upstairs the night before yesterday. She had this idea!
And Claire has a male friend he doesn’t know. Who is he? Is it Bryce?
At the thought of this possibility, Leo glances coldly at Luke and orders, “check for me if Bryce has taken Claire away!”
Why does he mention Bryce?
Luke is stunned to hear the name, then he understands that Leo suspects Claire’s only male friend first.
Luke says firmly, “Leo, I know you’re angry now, but it’s no use being angry. We need to find evidence. My people have met Bryce. They’ll recognize Bryce!”
Leo doesn’t listen to Luke at all. He glances at Luke coldly and asks irresistibly, “Why are you so sure? What if Bryce asked someone else to pick her up? Don’t talk nonsense. Hurry up and check for me!”
“Leo...” Luke wants to say something more, but Leo interrupts him.
“Shut up!” Leo storms up to Luke. He looks down at Luke and says coldly, “don’t think I don’t know you are socializing with Bryce. I’m not interested in what you’ve done, but finding Claire is the most important thing! If I find out you’ve concealed something from me, Luke, even if you’ve been my friend for more than ten years, I won’t be kind to you!”
Luke is shocked by Leo’s words. It turns out Leo already knows about his relationship with Bryce. He thinks he arranges perfectly and will not be found by anyone.
Now that Leo says that, Luke can’t go on, or Leo will think he’s hiding something. Even if Bryce doesn’t do anything, he will be revenged by Leo.
In order not to make it worse, Luke agrees, “Okay, I see. I’ll do my best to help you find Claire.”
“This is the best!” Leo snorts and turns to the counter in the office to take out a bottle of red wine. He opens the wine and drinks with Luke to calm his anger a little.
Claire is a naughty little wild cat. When she comes back, he must teach her a lesson.
Leo doesn’t allow anyone to betray him or disobey him in this way. He warned Claire!
