Ernest drove to the Crawford’s Manor.
This time, Terrence reported that Tearie Entertainment was suspected of money laundering, which is a completely fabricated matter.
Ernest didn’t know why Terrence did this.
But as a lawyer for the Crawford Group, he had an obligation to handle the aftermath for Terrence.
“Next, the police will start investigating Tearie Entertainment’s accounts. You just need to cooperate with the police investigation.” Ernest immediately explained to Terrence as soon as he saw Terrence.
Terrence leaned against the wine cabinet, his tie loosened, revealing his delicate collarbone. He said in a cold and indifferent tone, “Where is Valerie?”
Ernest paused in his tracks.“She was taken away by a man!”
Terrence raised his gaze, his deep eyes hiding the cold moonlight outside the window. He appeared like a noble prince.“What did you say?”
Ernest replied, “She was…”
Terrence suddenly grabbed Ernest’s collar.
Ernest and Terrence were about the same height.
But at that moment, Ernest was tightly crushed by Terrence’s cold and stern gaze.
“I asked you to bring her back, but you gave her to another man!”
Ernest choked on his words.“But…”
Terrence pushed Ernest away and said, “Loser!”
After saying that, Terrence turned around and picked up the gray suit from the chair. Then he quickly walked out.
He walked quickly.
As he crossed the threshold, he seemed to stumble for a moment.
Ernest shook his head and thought, “He is so tired that his vision became blurry.”
The apartment where Roderick lived was called Glamor Oaks.
It was a well–known property in Houston, specifically designed as single apartments for unmarried individuals.
“This is the house I specifically bought for guests.” Roderick opened the door and added, “However, you are the first guest.”
Valerie said, “It’s my pleasure.”
Roderick smiled.“No, it’s my pleasure.”
Valerie moved his lips slightly.
Roderick said immediately, “I… I didn’t mean anything else. Anyway, you should rest well. It’s getting late!”
