Chapter 252 - 252: Jared's sister

Genius 252.

Ken sat firmly with his hands clenching on his lap. If he had just stayed with them, this wouldn't have to happen. He might not be as powerful as Jared but his men still respect him because of his connection.

Feeling infuriated, Ken got up. He paced around the room and yelled at all the nurses and doctors that tried to approach Evan.

One thing in his mind was that he needed to protect Evan. He would make sure that no one can touch him.

So he stood by the door blocking anyone from coming in.

The voices overlapping one another in the room has made Evan wake up. Opening his eyes, he realized that he was no longer in the bas.e.m.e.nt.

He could feel the pain in every part of his body. His throat felt so dry so he opened his lips and tried making a sound by clearing his throat.

But his faint sound was no match to the sound in the room. He looked aside and found Ken blocking the door while men in police uniform were trying to argue with him.

"Mister. We are here to perform our duty. If you keep getting on our way, we will have to arrest you again."

He heard one of the policemen talking so calmly.

"Not until his lawyer arrives."

Ken replied.

When one of the police saw him awake, everyone looked at his direction.

Ken quickly shut the door, locked it and rushed to Evan.

"I am glad you are alive. Now get up so we can leave this disgusting place," he looked around the room, the medical equipment was everywhere and there was a pungent smell he could no longer take.

"Where is Daniella?" Evan has tried moving his hand but pain rushed over him before he could even move his finger.

"I don't know. Her minions are trying to find her," he had been worrying about her non-stop even the people he knew in this city had refused to help him after knowing that he was friend with Evan.

Evan shut his eyes but even that small movement had caused him pain. "We need to find Jared, Daniella was meeting him. If her friends couldn't track her, it means that she is in danger."

With those words, Ken's skin crawled. He looked at Evan and wondered why did the police think he killed Kim when he was in the casino all the time.

That thought has made his eyes swelled, "if we can get someone to give us the time of death of that old stinky man, then we will know that the perpetrator can't be you since you are with me all the time."

Evan opened his eyes and looked at Ken with an emotionless face. If that happened, then the blame would end at Daniella.

"Don't. I am pretty sure they have Daniella's prints as well as Peyton. Saving me means giving up one of them."

Ken rose a brow, "so? Let's give the snake woman. End of story."

Instead of replying, Evan sighed. He couldn't possibly let Peyton get all the blame, she was a woman, after all, it wouldn't be fair for her to experience the beating he had received.

"We need to find the Queen that Jared imprisoned. Maybe, she knows something."

Upon remembering the conversation he had with the Queen, Ken's gasped.

"I spoke to her and she said that Jared has a sister, a family. If we get them, we can exchange them for Daniella and you," relief shone in Ken's eyes after saying that but eventually, his face darkened, "but I don't know how to find his sister. She said her name was Lovie..." Ken's head titled with difficulty.

"Javie..."

Ken's face screwed up. He was having a hard time remembering the name.

"Natalie..."

"no, it's not Natalie," he murmured, he rubbed his chin as he tried to remember the name of Jared's sister.

"It has a 'vie' and sounds really strange."

Then his eyes widened.

"Ahuh!" and just like that, his eyes bulged with happiness, "Movie. Movie McSalter."

He waggled his brows and smiled widely at Evan.

"That is her name."

On the other side, Evan rolled his eyes, "there's no one in the world that has a name Movie, maybe Novie just like Amy's assistant. Are you sure its Movie?"

Ken nodded, certainly convinced that the name was Movie.

"I will call Peyton. Maybe she still hasn't killed that woman."

While Ken was busy dialling Peyton's number, Evan looked up at the ceiling. He could see the sun setting down, he wondered where Daniella was right now.

Soon, the door was pushed open and Glen came in. He looked at Ken busy talking to someone on the phone.

"Hey. I am glad you are awake," he blew out a sigh and touched Evan's shoulder, "I spoke to Daniella-" before he could continue, Ken grabbed his arm and twisted him around.

"Where is she?" Ken asked.

Glen scoffed, "let me finish first, will you?" he spouted with sarcasm, I spoke to her earlier and she told me about your condition. I tried calling her again but a man answered his call."

Evan's heart skipped a beat, his blood rushed over his body causing for his consciousness to completely wake up.

"And?" Ken was so eager to know the rest. Typical Glen, he would stop and let them hang in suspense.

"Can you let me talk?" Glen said glaring at him.

Ken swiftly grabbed his collar, "talk and don't stop, understand?"

After slapping Ken's hands from gripping his collar, Glen turned to Evan.

"It was Jared and he said that Daniella," he bit his lower lips and struggled on how to proceed.

"I am going to kill you, Glen!" Ken whispered in his ear fumingly.

Glen gave him a sideways glare and sighed.

"Daniella is alright and she will meet you later to explain the situation."

The tone Glen used has made Evan's brows snapped. Despite the pain, he raised a hand and held Glen's wrist.

"Tell me. What did Jared say?"

Glen stared at Evan for so long time, weighting if it would be possible for him to hear the news. With regret on his face, Glen sat on the side of the bed and sighed.

"Jared and Daniella are getting married."
