Chapter 1566 Imposter
“We don’t have much time. Let’s just cut to the chase!”
Davin agreed with him. “Juan, Desmond is a cunning man. You must be careful. I will stand guard outside. If anything happens, just yell.”
“Sure!”
The moment Juan walked out of the room, he heard Desmond shouting, “You are a bunch of liars! Now that you have received the money, you should let me go. At the very least, you should send me to the hospital. At this rate, my leg will be crippled. If that happens, I will come after all of you. I will curse your fam-”
Juan walked into the room and stared at Desmond who was injured.
When Desmond saw him, he was stunned. Whatever he wanted to say got stuck in his throat.
“J-Juan? What are you doing here?”
“Desmond, you…”
“I have been kidnapped. W-What are you doing here?”
Juan was dumbfounded.
I’m the one who kidnapped you. Why are you asking me such a question?
“I was passing by and saw some people here. So I decided to take a look.”
“Passing by?”
Why would he be passing by such a remote area in the suburb?
Even though there were doubts in Desmond’s mind, he could not be bothered with Juan’s reasoning given his current condition and injury. Instead, he asked Juan to take him away from there.
“Mr. Juan, you are truly a lifesaver sent from heaven. Quick! Take me out of here! Send me to the hospital! I will be very grateful to you!”
Juan stayed silent for a moment before asking, “How do you intend to thank me?”
Desmond thought for a while before answering, “Seet Group is so wealthy. Surely you don’t need money. If you take me out of here, whatever you need in the future, I will do it for you as a payback. How’s that?”
A sneer appeared on Juan’s handsome face. He walked slowly toward Desmond and looked down at him. “Fine! There’s something I need your help with. If you can clarify my doubts, I will take you away from here immediately.”
“Just ask whatever questions you have. I will tell you everything I know. But, after I have answered your questions, you must take me to the hospital straight away.”
“No problem! Back when the Maupay family got into trouble, someone who pretended to be my daddy had hurt them. Do you know who the imposter is?”
Desmond was taken aback.
He did not expect Juan to mention that incident. In an instant, his face darkened, and he pretended not to know anything about it.
“Mr. Juan, I don’t quite understand what you are saying. What has the Maupay family’s trouble got to do with Mr. Evan? Isn’t it just a rumor? Don’t tell me someone has impersonated Mr. Evan. Who would have the guts to do such a thing in Y City?”
Desmond’s pretentious act did not escape Juan’s sharp eyes. It was obvious that he was guilty of something. How dare he pretend not to know anything?
By the look of it, he must be related to the imposter one way or another.
“Desmond, do you really know nothing about this?”
“Mr. Juan, I really know nothing about this! If you haven’t said anything, I won’t have guessed so. How can there be anybody who is so audacious in Y City?” Although Desmond tried his utmost best to conceal, his eyes were darting around nervously, and he dared not look Juan in the eyes.
Hmm…
Juan got down to observe his injured leg. All of a sudden, he smiled wickedly and said, “It looks like you really don’t want this leg of yours.”
“Oh, please. Mr. Juan, I’m seriously injured. If you send me to the hospital, I-”
“If you don’t explain properly, don’t even dream about going anywhere!”
Desmond froze. Perhaps, Juan was the one responsible for my kidnapping?
Yes, it must be him!
Otherwise, isn’t it too much of a coincidence that he appeared here?
“So, do you get it now?”
“It’s you! It’s you!”
Juan stood up and stepped on Desmond’s injured leg. In that split second, Desmond’s face turned pale.
