Hunter had the urge to strangle his son to death.
"Are you okay, Toby?" Hunter quickly helped Toby up. However, he was puzzled upon seeing Toby's face, which was perfectly fine. "Did my son hit you?"
Toby was exasperated. He had been screaming his head off, yet Hunter was still asking him if he got hit. Was it not obvious?
"I almost got beaten to death." Toby raised his clothes while trembling. There were patches of bruises on his body. Those were only external injuries. His internal injuries were probably more severe.
Hunter felt embarrassed. Toby was his guest. "You know that my son's mood is unpredictable. He usually doesn't respect me either. What did you say to offend him?"
Toby recalled Chester’s words and shuddered. "Your son said he loves Eliza.”
He was stupid. He should not have come to look for Chester.
Who would have thought of it?
Even a devil like Chester said he was in love. It was so bizarre.
Hunter was stunned. "This... This is impossible. His personality... How can he love someone when he doesn't even love his parents? Don’t fool me."
"Will I lie to you when I’m already beaten up to this state? He said it himself. He was the one who helped Eliza to erase all evidence of the night Monte got infected with HIV. No wonder Eliza is so arrogant.”
Toby suddenly remembered Chester’s warning. He held in his pain and said," Your son said he’ll make the Patterson family suffer if even a strand of Eliza's hair is touched. Hunter, quickly think of something to help me. How would I have known that he likes Eliza? Eliza's the one who ruined the Jewell family's reputation."
Chester tried calling Charity’s number, but his number was still blocked..
He had no choice but to find Catherine's number and call her. "Where’s Charity now?"
Catherine was taken aback. Her voice was cold. "Why are you looking for her?"
"Huxley might bother her,” Chester spoke hastily. "The police returned empty-handed when they went to arrest Huxley. They don't know where Huxley’s hiding. He’s a drug addict, so he’s a dangerous person. He can do extreme things."
Catherine was shocked. “Charity said she wanted to go to the supermarket after getting off work this morning. She wanted to buy some butter and cheese to make a cake. Oh, right. She said her phone was out of battery in the group chat. She didn’t reply when Freya and I were chatting just now. Her phone must've died."
"Try calling her, or think of a way to contact her driver or bodyguards."
