NOVPUBChapter 1278: 578 Despair_2 Chapter 1278: 578 Despair_2 “I never lie to people.”
After Aubree Groove left the hotel, a sedan stopped in front of her, the car window half-lowered, revealed the slightly tired profile of Digby Hart.
Aubree Groove got into the car and it drove smoothly.
“Aubree Groove…” Digby Hart rubbed his brow, “Ms.
Parker…”.
The night wind brushed against her cheeks, as Aubree Groove gazed at the scenery speeding past on both sides of the road, her voice a bit indistinct in the wind.
“Nineteen years ago, at that cocktail party, you encountered Nikita Parker and never forgot her.
But do you still remember that on that night, there was a woman who also had a passionate encounter with you?”
Digby Hart’s drooping eyelashes trembled slightly and he looked up in surprise, his eyes as if a huge rock had been thrown, causing great ripples.
...
“You…?”
“How would I know?”
Aubree Groove shook her head, “I once hesitated about whether or not to tell you.
This truth is too harsh, but I think, everyone has the right to face the truth, moreover, this is a debt you owe.”
Digby Hart’s heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
He had a premonition that the truth Aubree Groove was talking about might not be what he wanted to know.
To Lorcan Hart on the passenger seat, Aubree Groove asked, “Do you have pen and paper?”
Lorcan Hart immediately handed her pen and paper.
Aubree Groove wrote an address on the paper, tore it off and gave it to Digby Hart.
“You should pay them a visit when you have time.”
“Stop the car.” Aubree Groove opened the car door and got out without looking back.
The car door closed with a “bang”.
Digby Hart sat in a daze, staring at the piece of paper, his expression gloomy and inexplicable.
Lorcan Hart looked at him with worry, “Sir…”
Digby Hart suddenly clenched the piece of paper, squeezing it tightly in his palm.

This March in Pethkids was destined to be bloody.
Batch after batch of people were taken away, one company after another fell, till now, the only one still standing is The Rintos.
If the Rintos of the past were a ferocious wolf, then the Rintos of now are a lion that is gradually waking up.
They are destined to laugh dismissively at Pethkids.
By now, everyone in Pethkids understood one fact: The Rintos were not the same as when Pindo Rinto was alive, but more horrifying.
For a time, the people of Pethkids were in fear, like frightened grass and trees before a war.
Hospital.
After waiting a while, Peter Aria came out and said, “Don’t worry, he’s okay, he’s been transferred to the intensive care unit.
He’ll wake up when the anesthesia wears off.”
Aubree Groove pursed her lips, “Thank…”.
“You shouldn’t say thanks to your uncle.
Are you treating him like an outsider?” Peter Aria disagreed.
After some thought, Aubree Groove said, “There’s another person who was seriously injured.
I hope you can save him too.”
Thinking she was a savior herself.
But being Aubree Groove’s savior made him extremely willing, afraid that he was not doing enough.
Without the slightest hesitation, Peter Aria continued to rush to the next surgery.
Aubree Groove walked into the ward.
It was the first time she saw Agave Rinto so vulnerable, having lost his usual domineering presence, his face pale as he lay on the hospital bed.
“Mistress.” Desta Rinto rushed in and said in a lowered voice, “Sergeant Linggo is waiting for you outside.”
Aubree Groove tucked in the corner of Agave Rinto’s blanket before she got up and went out.
“Sergeant Linggo.”
“Ms.
Rinto, Sadam Hayes has confessed everything.
However, the information he obtained isn’t much.
We couldn’t dig anything out from him.
Rafferty, on the other hand, has exceptional willpower.
Ordinary methods of interrogation do not work on him.
Ms.
Rinto, it seems that you know quite a bit about him.
Could you assist us?”
Aubree Groove nodded, “Alright, I can question him.
But Sergeant Linggo, it has to be just me and him, with no monitoring equipment.”
Madon Linggo looked at her deeply, “This is not in line with the regulations.
But in special times, we need special strategies.
I can agree to this.”
“Set it for tomorrow night, then.”
After some thought, Madon Linggo said, “You want to wait until Mr.
Rinto wakes up, don’t you?”
Aubree Groove raised her eyebrows, “No, I’m waiting for the snake to make its move.”

Madam Benz waited at home for a whole day and night, but Lexi Benz didn’t come home.
She was so anxious that she was about to call the police.
Although she knew calling the police wouldn’t do much.
She had been thinking about the few words the man in black had used to threaten Lexi Benz, which were clearly related to Maddy Spinter’s illness.
She knew some of the details about this matter.
Not long ago, at Madam Spinter’s birthday banquet, Madam Spinter had invited a number of talented young men.
Maddy Spinter was still young and there was no urgency for her to settle down.
On the other hand, Cynthia Spinter had just divorced and she didn’t get along with Madam Spinter.
Madam Spinter wished she could marry her off immediately.
That’s why this birthday banquet was a deviation from the grand ceremonies of the past, in fact, it was a ‘blind date banquet’ in disguise.
