Finding Out The Billionaire

Chapter 38

Chapter 38 Burying Juliet

Alex’s heart thumped and he could not help but stand up.

Derek actually killed Flynn’s wife!

“My condolences.” Alex patted Flynn’s shoulder.

Flynn nodded. “You should go back first.”

Glancing at Flynn, Alex turned around and left.

That night, a piece of shocking news rocked the underworld forces of Nebula City.

Derek Fleming, the King of the Underworld, had been killed, while his loyal subordinates had all been crippled.

Flynn, who was Derek’s predecessor, had returned to reclaim the position as King of the Underworld. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Everyone who was associated with Derek was shocked when they heard the news.

The next day, Alex received Flynn’s call when he reached the office.

Flynn said that he wanted to bury his wife in the countryside. Hence, he was asking when Alex would be free to accompany him.

Naturally, Alex had no problems with that. He asked Flynn where he was and was going to find him.

“Where are you going, Alex?”

Alex had just stepped out of his office when Kate walked up to him.

“What do you want?” Alex looked at Kate with an indifferent attitude.

Kate frowned. However, as she needed to ask Alex for a favor, she suppressed the urge to argue with him.

“Didn’t you say that you’d introduce me to the boss? Is the boss here yet?” Plastering a smile on her face, Kate flashed him a charming smile.

She was so close to Alex that the smell of her perfume engulfed his nose.

Truthfully, Kate was extremely pretty. Compared to Heather, her beauty was of another style.

When she smiled, her dimples were exceptionally charming.

Frowning lightly, Alex took a step back and said, “The boss hasn’t arrived yet.”

With that, he turned around and headed towards the lift.

Kate did not know if he was lying or not. Glancing at the closed office door, she thought about it and decided against knocking on the door.

As she stared at Alex walking into the lift, she felt a flicker of annoyance.

This b*stard dares to show off to me?

Once I get on the boss’ good side, I’ll not spare you!

At that moment, Alex had no idea that Kate was cursing at him.

After going to the parking lot, he drove to Sakura Club to find Flynn.

Flynn was driving a Q7, which was Derek’s car. His wife’s corpse was placed in the trunk of the car.

Flynn’s wife was from Worcester. She had always wanted to leave Nebula City and return to Worcester, but Flynn never managed to fulfill her wish. After her death, all he wanted to do was to bury her back at Worcester.

Flynn said that his wife loved silence. Hence, after reaching Worcester, he bought a high-quality coffin with Alex. After placing Juliet’s corpse inside, he buried the coffin on a hill outside of the Dunn family’s house.

“She’s an orphan. After finishing high school, she went to Nebula City to work. She was working as a waitress at Sakura Club back then,” mumbled Flynn as he stroked the newly erected tombstone.

Alex lit a cigarette and passed it to him. Then, he lit one for himself and leaned against the adjacent rock, listening to Flynn’s mutterings.

“I remember that Simon took a liking to her and wanted her to drink with him. However, she refused. Then, Simon’s subordinates forcefully dragged her to the room beside mine. After I saved her, she became my wife. That night, I told her that I’m a bad guy who might not make her happy. But she said that staying by my side was her greatest happiness. When she said that she became scared, I retired from the underworld. Although she changed a lot in these two years and became a power-hungry and heartless woman, she’ll always be the woman whom I love the most. In the end, she still died because I was part of the underworld.

As Flynn spoke, he flicked the cigarette, causing the ashes to fall onto the ground poignantly.

“She died because you’re not powerful enough,” said Alex softly.

“You’re right. If I did not retire from the underworld, if I became more powerful instead, I could’ve protected her better.” Flynn nodded in agreement.

He had finally understood.

However, it was too late.

“It’s inevitable for life to have its ups and downs. There’s still a long way to go. To reach the Eden that lies beyond the finishing line, all we have to do is to believe in hope. Like how the sun rises each morning, we must forge forward courageously, never shunning away from difficulties.”

Alex also flicked his cigarette away. He dusted himself off and walked towards the car on the road.

Just then, he heard a woman’s shout a distance away from the graveyard.

Frowning slightly, he walked towards the source of the voice.
