Chapter 140: Chapter 136: That damn Richelie Dunn, she wants to kill me!
Translator: 549690339
In Kindur, everything was calm and tranquil.
But in Lordon, at this moment, The Dunns was in complete chaos.
Kiara Dunn, who was scared out of her wits by Richelie Dunn’s ghostly prank, was eventually taken to the hospital by Marcus Zadra last night.
After arriving, he did not stay. Instead, he called Jayden Dunn and left Kiara, who was still bewildered and in a frantic state, alone in the hospital.
Over the years, he had heard rumors about Kiara Dunn, claiming she was flirtatious and expert at manipulating men.
There were even rumors that she had a child for the head of The Lewis in Kindur, in exchange for wealth and luxury.
However, he had always believed that she was still the innocent little girl he knew, who would burst into tears at the sight of a caterpillar.
But everything that happened tonight, along with Hugo Camrey’s bouquet of red roses, had forcefully awakened him from that belief.
What a joke to think of her as an innocent little girl. She’s nothing more than a playgirl who is skilled at manipulating people’s emotions.
After informing Jayden Dunn, Marcus Zadra left, took out the SIM card from his phone, and threw it into the trash.
This SIM card was the one he had gotten when they were teens with Kiara. Over the years, he had changed his number for outside communication several times, but he had kept this number for over a decade, just like his warm feelings towards Kiara.
But now, both this SIM card and his feelings had become a blatant joke.
When Jayden Dunn and Megan Linwood arrived at the hospital, they could hear a shrill female voice echoing through the corridor.
Megan Linwood frowned, “Who is this? Sounds like a madwoman. This isn’t a mental institution, is it?”
The doctor who brought them there gave an awkward smile.
“Mrs. Dunn, the person making all this noise, that’s… Ms. Dunn…”
Marcus Zadra only informed them over the phone that Kiara was ill. He didn’t specify what illness it was. They had observed Marcus Zadra’s devotion for their daughter over the years.
Therefore, they fully expected that Marcus Zadra would have taken good care of their beloved daughter first.
Upon hearing that the person hollering like a madwoman was their beloved daughter, the couple rushed into the ward.
On the bed, Kiara, still dirty and yelling about ghosts, was momentarily stunned when she saw Jayden Dunn and Megan Linwood storm in. Then, she threw herself towards Megan Linwood.
“Mom! That damned Richelle, she wants to kill me!”
She was filthy all over, her face twisted in horror, and her voice hoarse from continued screaming.
Standing behind, Jayden Dunn asked the doctor who brought them in with a stern voice.
“How long has she been like this?”
“Mr. Dunn, she’s been in this state for over half an hour…”
Jayden Dunn was trembling with anger, “What kind of shitty hospital is this? She’s been here for over half an hour, and you let her stay dirty and continue to yell?”
The doctor was completely innocent, “Mr. Dunn, it’s not that we don’t want to, it’s just that Ms. Dunn wouldn’t let us near her. Also, you weren’t here, and we didn’t dare to decide on the treatment without your permission…”
Jayden Dunn glanced around, “I’m not here, but what about Marcus Zadra?”
The doctor answered truthfully, “After Mr. Zadra brought Ms. Dunn in and finished with the hospital procedures, he left. So, without the family’s instructions, we can’t arbitrarily decide…”
Jayden Dunn looked at his normally charming and graceful daughter, who was now in a state of disarray like a madwoman. His heart ached tremendously.
“Aren’t you going to give her a sedative now?”
The doctor was scolded and quickly rushed out. Soon, he returned with a sedative and administered it to Kiara Dunn.
Kiara Dunn, who was whining and crying while holding Megan Linwood, kept repeating the same words over and over again.
“That damn mutt Richelle… She choked me… Almost choked me to death!”
Though she spoke the truth, her words sounded like a fantasy tale to Jayden Dunn and Megan Linwood.
Only after she finally fell asleep under the effect of the sedative, did Megan Linwood have the nurse they had called in give her a body wash and change her into clean clothes.
Outside the door, Jayden Dunn hung up the phone he had called Marcus Zadra with.
However, the display indicated that the other party had turned off his phone.
Jayden Dunn, undeterred, made a direct call to the Zadras.
Upon hearing that it was Jayden Dunn, the Zadras’ butler uttered a few compliments. After hearing that he was looking for Marcus Zadra, he said, “Mr. Dunn, Mr. Zadra hasn’t been living at home for some time. You should try his cell.”
Jayden Dunn got another phone number for Marcus Zadra and tried calling it, but it was also switched off.
Kiara Dunn was already twenty-seven, well past the age where parents could keep constant tabs on her and get a report of her every move.
So, where Kiara went today and what had happened to her, Jayden Dunn and Megan Linwood had no clue about.
As Jayden Dunn was considering whom to consult to understand the ins and outs of the matter, a call came in from his son, Harris Dunn.
“Dad, something’s happened to Kiara!”
Jayden Dunn responded gravely, “Hmm, your mother and I are at the hospital. Come over right now.”
Soon, Harris Dunn arrived at the hospital, pulling up screenshots from his various WhatsApp Status for Jayden Dunn and Megan Linwood to see.
Jayden Dunn and Megan Linwood had barely looked at a couple of them when they were so infuriated they almost smashed the phone on the spot.
“Who is this Hugo Camrey?”
Hugo Camrey did not appear in the screenshots, but someone mentioned his name saying that Kiara Dunn’s incident occurred at a party hosted by Hugo Camrey.
Harris Dunn had already found out about Hugo Camrey’s background on his way over, “He’s the grandson of the Caroules from South City, and the second son of the Camreys of Kindur…”
Though Jayden Dunn would have been capable of raising a hullabaloo if Hugo was just the grandson of the Caroules from South City.
Yet, with the added identity of the second son of the Camreys of Kindur, Jayden Dunn couldn’t help but weigh his current predicament.
“This matter is quite tricky…”
Despite his anger, Jayden Dunn noted from the screenshots and the unpleasant rumours that it seemed Hugo Camrey wasn’t directly involved.
Because, out of the eight or nine people present, not one of them saw a ghost, only Kiara insisted that she did.
“Dad, I’ll try to find out more from the Caroules tomorrow.”
Harris Dunn usually doted on his sister Kiara, and naturally he wanted to seek justice for her.
“Find out? I’m going to demand justice from the Caroules tomorrow!”
The desperate love of Megan Linwood for her daughter had her wishing she could pick up a weapon and march straight to the Caroules.
Jayden Dunn of course wished to lay the Caroules low, but the reality was that he was already in a precarious position. Setting up more enemies over his daughter’s incident wasn’t a wise choice.
“Megan, we can’t be impulsive about this. Besides, Kiara needs care right now. We can demand justice tomorrow, it’s not too late.”
As a result, the next day, Jayden Dunn and his son Harris paid a visit to the Caroules, but rather than obtaining any justice, they were outright ignored by them.
“Hugo Camrey is Harvey Camrey’s son. If you want justice for his actions, take it to him, not us.”
The Caroules’ action of distancing themselves from the incident was, in reality, a move to powerfully silence Jayden Dunn.
That’s right, what if Hugo did do something, you can take it up with his father if you have the courage.
The trouble was, Harvey Camrey was no one Jayden Dunn felt he could lightly provoke given his current besieged situation.
Having come up with nothing at the Caroules’, and seeing his daughter’s continual state of madness at home, Jayden Dunn found no other solution and personally set out for Kindur to seek Roy Lewis.
