Chapter 1569 Underground Palace
On the way back, both Davin and Juan were analyzing Desmond’s story and could not help but sigh. It turned out that Steven was not the scary monster they should be afraid of. Instead, it was the devious mastermind who had been using Steven all the while to realize his evil plan!
That man was truly horrifying!
Davin said, “What kind of grudge does this person have with Steven? How bad can it be that he would want to set Steven up in this manner?”
Juan found it strange as well. “Desmond claimed that it was internal family strife. But, why would a butler want to fight with his master? Unless he is not who he claims to be! Or perhaps, he had a prior grudge with Steven and decided to work as a butler for Steven with an ulterior motive.”
Davin thought about it and said, “You have your points, but this is a private matter of the Maupay family. Steven should be the one to investigate! Our main concern right now is to convince Steven of the truth.”
“Uncle Davin, we should inform Kyle about this, and let him tell Sally. Let Sally talk to her daddy. It doesn’t matter if Steven believes it or not. I’m sure he will check the story out either way. When he decides to investigate, we will hand Desmond over as a witness.”
Davin nodded. “Sounds like a good idea. I will send Desmond to Steven myself.”
Once they got back to Seet Group, they told Kyle everything.
Kyle was also pretty shocked after hearing the story.
“After carrying out such atrocious deeds, how is it possible for Steven’s butler to stay on by his side for so long without getting caught?”
“That’s true. Either the butler is a very intelligent man, or Steven is too dumb?” said Juan.
Davin chipped in with his analysis. “I feel that Steven has been blinded by hatred and lost his mind. Despite witnessing it himself, he truly believes that the killer is your daddy. That’s why he did not ponder too much about it. All right. Let’s not worry about Steven’s intelligence level. We should get the story to him as soon as possible and resolve the impending crisis for Seet Group. It will be too late once he has destroyed Imperial Garden.”
He turned to Kyle and added, “Kyle, let Sally know about this quickly so that she can tell her daddy.”
Worry appeared on Kyle’s face. “I can’t get Sally through her phone. I’m not sure if Steven has locked her in the house.”
He couldn’t contact Sally?
What should we do now?
The three men looked at one another before Davin said, “Looks like we have no choice but to go into the lion’s den personally to meet Steven.”
“There is no guarantee that we will be able to see Steven if we go into the secret room. The last time I was there with Saul, we never saw anyone.”
Kyle agreed with Juan, “It is indeed very dangerous to go into the secret room. The last time I went there with Saul, we nearly ended up in Steven’s hands if it wasn’t for Sally.”
Davin’s eyes lit up brightly. “Isn’t it a good thing to get caught by Steven? That’s who we are trying to meet. If we get caught and see him, we can just tell him everything. Isn’t it better?”
Both Kyle and Juan were speechless.
Whatever Davin had just said sounded logical.
“Well then. Since the two of you have gone in before, let me be the one to go this time. I will take Saul with me and also a few bodyguards. I’m quite certain I will be able to meet Steven. By the way, Juan, you should send more men to guard Desmond so that he doesn’t get away. He is our witness after all. Perhaps after I meet Steven, he will want to see Desmond immediately!”
“Uncle Davin, you really plan to go? What if-”
“What if? That’s never going to happen. You guys must have faith in me. At the same time, I am also interested in the secret room. This is a good opportunity for me to take a good look at the whole place. For all we know, I can also build an underground palace. Then, all of you will be able to experience underground life. If I charge the right price, I’m sure it will be a profitable business.”
“But, Uncle Davin…” Juan was still very worried.
