Chapter 664: To End It All
Powell's face showed impatience.
He knew Monica hadn't finished her previous sentence.
However, he had no interest in hearing more from her.
Watching Monica's pained expression, he felt no sympathy or softness. Instead, he sneered and said, "Alright. Considering you did put in effort working for me, I'll have someone send you to a good place."
"Really?" Monica was overjoyed. "Thank you, Young Master! I will definitely..."
Before she could finish, she suddenly felt a rope being pulled tightly around her neck from behind!
Monica's mind went blank. All color instantly drained from her face. She grabbed at the rope with one hand, struggling, while the other stretched out towards Powell.
"How could you..."
Watching her agony, Powell remained unmoved.
He even watched her final, desperate struggle with interest, as if observing a peculiar performance.
Only after Monica had completely stopped breathing did Powell's subordinate finally release her.
Then, they watched as Monica's body fell to the ground.
Her eyes were wide open, filled with intense resentment.
She never expected that after painstakingly escaping the Mendoza estate, thinking she had found a way out, she had instead fallen into a deeper hell.
"Tsk," Powell said disdainfully. "Fool."
He knew that Harrison Thomson and the Mendoza family were undoubtedly keeping a very close watch on him right now.
But beneath the villa he lived in, there was a secret passage.
No one knew about it except him and his most trusted aides.
After Monica escaped, she had managed to call him, asking to meet.
He instructed her to come find him at this abandoned complex.
They had met here before, so she could find it.
After telling her, he exited through the secret passage and came to this place.
He arrived before Monica.
Originally, his subordinates had said there was no need to kill Monica.
If he was afraid she would spill everything, he could just send her far away. After all, Monica certainly wouldn't want to send herself to prison.
As long as she could leave this place, she likely wouldn't cause more trouble.
But, ha, Powell had no desire to spare Monica's life at all.
His close aide was already wanted by the police, and the Mason Group was surely a key target of police surveillance now.
Perhads soon. he himself would be in dire straits.
This Monica, more trouble than she was worth, irritated him just thinking about her.
Better to end her directly. To end it all.
"Dispose of it," Powell waved impatiently.
Two subordinates obeyed immediately and dragged Monica's body away.
It was a night with overcast clouds. The moon was completely hidden, not a single ray of light able to penetrate through.
Pharrell stayed in the hospital for several days without further incident.
However, he clearly lacked the energy he had before.
He was always listless, and his occasional crying seemed weak and feeble.
Although he had health issues, he hadn't seemed this way before.
Gracie held him, walking slowly around the
hospital room, her face full of worry.
"This child... does he know his mother abandoned him?"
Adeline, standing nearby, also felt a pang in her heart but tried to comfort her. "Mom, what are you saying? Pharrell is so young. How could he know such things?”
"Has Monica still not been found?"
Adeline shook her head.
However, this morning they had received news that Powell's subordinate, the one who kidnapped Connie, had been arrested by the police.
That was some good news at least.
Pharrell in Gracie's arms suddenly started crying, and she quickly looked down to soothe him.
At that moment, Alberto wheeled Connie, who was in a wheelchair, into the room.
"Why did you come over?”
"Just came to see," Connie said, her gaze falling on Pharrell in Gracie's arms.
