Soon after lighting a cigarette, his phone rang inside his pocket.
It was the police chief, Jim Hopper calling, his tone somber. “Waylen, we have reason to believe that Elvira is the deranged murderer responsible for four deaths.”
Jim paused, and then asked, “Is she still alive?”
In a subdued voice, Waylen replied, “Yes, she’s still in the hospital. I’ll do my best to cooperate. My wife? No… She acted bravely in the name of justice. Let’s try to keep her out of this.”
Upon ending the call, Waylen entered a separate cold storage room.
Inside, ten bags of fresh blood awaited, their significance not lost on him.
Quietly contemplating, he reached for one of the bags.
Jazlyn discreetly pushed the door open, reporting to him in a hushed tone. “Mr. Fowler, I’ve found three individuals in Algaira and Tashkao with Rh-negative blood.”
Returning the blood bag to its place, Waylen turned around and replied calmly, “Invite them to join the Exceed Group.”
Jazlyn nodded in understanding.
After a brief pause, she added, “Actually, there’s another person in Duefron with Rh-negative blood but he’s too young.”
A perplexed expression crossed Waylen’s face.
Handing him a file, Jazlyn remarked, “It’s quite a coincidence. He was in Alexis’ class. His name is Leonel Douglas. Mr. Fowler, this contains all his information.”
Leonel Douglas?
Waylen accepted the file and opened it.
The Douglas family’s business was facing bankruptcy.
Tragically, the Douglas had lost their eldest son, leaving Leonel, an illegitimate love child, to be fetched home. However, he was facing immense hardships in that family.
As a mother herself, Jazlyn couldn’t help but comment, “This child has endured a difficult life.”
Deep in thought, Waylen silently scrutinized the contents.
Leonel possessed striking good looks and his intelligent nature was evident from his eyes.
Gently closing the file, Waylen instructed, “Arrange a golf meeting with Mr. Douglas for me.
Tell him that… | wish to discuss a project with him.”
