Chapter 325 - Godbrother (2/2)

Joel cleared his throat awkwardly; he was beginning to believe the woman. ”How do I know you're who you say you are?”

Halia sat down and crossed her legs, ”Your birthday's still on the 23rd, isn't it? Also, I don't think my brother will be the only one that's disappointed in your security; The Organization won't be very happy either...”

Joel immediately turned to his men and growled, ”Increase security from now on!”

His men quickly nodded.

”I'm sorry that you had to witness something so embarrassing. Please reassure your godbrother that it will never happen again. Besides, I'm sure you already checked on the money and you know it's fine. That's the most important thing, isn't it?” Joel said.

Halia rolled her eyes, ”I guess...”

Joel then pulled out a golden card from his pocket and handed it to Halia, ”Here is your own personal card. Next time you come down, ask for me and I'll buy you a drink as an apology. I hope your brother wakes up soon...”

Halia accepted the card and slipped it in her pocket. She then led the men out of her room.

As soon as the door closed, she turned around and held her hand to her heart. It was racing at a million miles per hour.

”You should quit your day job and become an actress,” Jackson joked as he walked over to his wife.

Halia wrapped her arms around her husband. That was a close call.

...

Over in Hong Kong, Avaleigh's heart was also racing at a million miles per hour. She had just discovered that her estranged father had been stalking her all the way from Korea and was suspected of killing her group member!

Avaleigh didn't know her father well.

He and her mother had a divorce when she was 10, but she remembered that he loved her very much. However, after they got divorced, the man practically disappeared from her life like he was dead. She didn't understand why her parents divorced and her mother never explained why, she simply said they didn't get along, and Avaleigh never brought it up again. But, deep down, she was a child and she missed her father.

So, every now and then, Avaleigh pulled out old photos of the man and tried to imagine how life would have been if he was still around. Especially when kids teased her at school for not having a father, she thought about him even more.

Who knew, after all these years, he would reappear in her life in this way...

If this was how he was planning to reappear, she would have rather he never appeared at all...

”No, I have no idea where he is. I haven't seen him in over a decade,” Avaleigh finally replied to Officer Liang's question.
