Chapter 871: Chapter 871 Cunning_1
“Don’t worry, at least your mom is safe for now,” Gavin Graves consoled her.
Purple Summers rubbed her temples in frustration.
She pessimistically thought that Atra Blanc might not be safe at all.
Clyde Summers, with his ulterior motives, had kidnapped Atra Blanc. He certainly did not take her just for a walk and a chat. What would he do to her?
The more Purple thought about it, the more anxious she became. She even suspected that Atra Blanc might make a grave mistake and not return! The conservative and traditional Atra Blanc, might she die from shame?
“Clyde is very cunning, and it’s hard to track him unless he slips up,” Gavin Graves said, “Purple, people always have moments when they get carried away and drop their guard. We just need to wait patiently, and we will find your mom.”
Purple Summers understood what Gavin meant.
Right now, Clyde had just succeeded and was most likely on high alert, but as time passed, he would naturally relax. At that time, as long as he showed the slightest slip, Gavin’s people would be able to trace it back to him.
Could Atra Blanc wait?
Purple Summers’s heart was in turmoil.
“Young Master Graves, thank you,” Purple Summers said as she held her forehead, her voice hoarse, “I really… must find my mom soon. You might not believe it, but I know her, she must have been threatened.”
“I believe you,” Gavin nodded, “If she wanted to go with Clyde, she could’ve lied and told you she went abroad, but she didn’t, she just hid in the hotel for a few days. Moreover, when she was with Old Master Summers back in the day, Clyde was only fifteen years old.”
While helping Purple Summers look for her mother, Gavin Graves had also been investigating Clyde Summers.
“Back then, Old Master Summers was handsome, wealthy, mature, and had a sense of humor, while Clyde was just a pubescent boy. It’s impossible that Atra Blanc would be attracted to him.”
Women mostly prefer men more mature than themselves, and if they have a father-complex, they choose partners with an even larger age gap.
Upon hearing this, Purple Summers fell silent.
Atra Blanc liked older men, her eyes practically sparkling with little love hearts whenever she held Elder Master Summers’s photograph.
But the problem is… Clyde is also quite old now…
Purple Summers’s heart felt like it was being deep-fried, flipping back and forth in the oil, blaming herself for not keeping a good watch over Atra Blanc, and also feeling wronged. If Atra Blanc hadn’t foolishly run off, she might not have been abducted by Clyde.
She truly hoped Atra Blanc was safe and sound now!
Over the course of a whole month, Gavin Graves brought news to Purple Summers twice. Once, Clyde’s car had been abandoned on the highway exiting Wheatley, and another time Clyde’s credit card suddenly had a transaction record: he had bought a box of condoms at some supermarket.
A transaction that could clearly have been done with a small amount of cash, yet Clyde chose to use a credit card instead.
It was as if he was silently boasting about something.
Purple Summers’s face twisted in anger.
“Shameless!” She clenched her teeth and growled with rage, her voice bursting through her gritted teeth.
She had never seen someone so despicable and shameless!
Gavin Graves was also shocked. The extensive network of the Graves Family couldn’t find one person and was instead being played by the other party; this had never happened before. Clyde intentionally abandoned his car on the outskirts of Wheatley, clearly intending to tell them he had already left Wheatley.
Moving far from the Graves Family’s sphere of influence, finding him and Atra Blanc had become even more difficult.
Gavin Graves became somewhat intrigued by this man. Continuing to probe into Clyde Summers’s past, he uncovered some interesting details.
— Roy Howard had also been tripped up by this man.
Lester Williams said to Gavin Graves: “Roy Howard tried to use a charge of commercial bribery to deal with Clyde. On the day of the court hearing, the evidence they had prepared disappeared without a trace. Roy Howard arranged a second lawsuit, spending a lot of effort to finally get the judge to convict Clyde, sentencing him to seven years. Clyde was granted a chance for a reduced sentence, and he got out after serving just five.”
Gavin wondered, “Why would Roy Howard want to deal with Clyde?”
