Chapter 95 Let Me Take Darlene Away

The car stopped at the villa in the suburbs. When Gustave got out of the car, he looked

behind him.

He had always been vigilant. He felt uneasy along the way, but he kept looking in the rearview mirror anddid not see anyone following him.

Only Nathen, who had just called Darlene, could replace Darlene’s whereabouts.

Thinking of this, he felt that he was overthinking. But he still said, “Take a rest and leave early. You willonly be safe after you leave the country.”.

Darlene’s grandmother had already fallen asleep. She definitely could not get on the plane immediately.She had high blood pressure and was in poor health. She could not

be too tired.

Darlene nodded and said, “Okay.” She got out of the car and wanted to help her sleeping grandmotherout. After shaking her a few times, Darlene still could not wake up her grandmother.

Gustave received a call on his phone. When he answered the call, he looked at Darnell and another manwho got out of the car together. “Help her.”

After he gave the order, Darnell immediately went over and helped Darlene’s grandmother into the villawith the bodyguard on the left and right.

Darlene followed in without doing anything.

Gustave answered the phone, and a middle-aged man’s voice came from the other end. “Where’s yourmother? I just got off work and went to the mental hospital. I didn’t see her. Today is her birthday…”

Gustave’s voice was cold and a little sarcastic. “I took her away. It doesn’t matter if it’s her birthday.There is nothing different. Dad, you should focus on your own things.”

His father was guilty. “Gustave, at that time, I…”

“I still have something to do. I gotta go. Dad, take care.” Gustave interrupted him and hung up the phonedirectly.

He restrained the displeasure on his face and turned back to go in as if he had not made a call just now.

After entering the villa, Darlene’s grandmother had already woken up and was sitting

on the sofa.

Gustave did not live much here. Due to the special situation this time, he was worried that there would betoo many people. He only had the house cleaned every day. There was even no servant in the villa.

Darnell went to the kitchen to pour tea. Darlene immediately followed in apologetically and wanted to doit herself.

She had lived with the Gallard family for all these years and was not short of money, but she wasn’t wellserved.

When she lived in the Gallard’s house, Teresa said that women should not be too spoiled. No one servedher food or tea. Darlene had always done these things on her

Own.

Later, she married Avery and lived with him in Southwood Villa. Nothing changed.

Because Avery had been disabled for a year, he had a bad temper and disliked servants. There was noteven a housekeeper in Southwood Villa. Darlene was the one who did the

housework.

Since she and her grandmother had caused trouble for Gustave, she felt too guilty to be

served.

When Gustave reached the kitchen, he saw Darlene and Darnell scrambling to make tea.

Gustave was confused. “What are you doing? There are teacups in the closet. There’s no

need to snatch that one.”

Darlene turned around awkwardly to look at Gustave, who was standing at the door,

and said, “I can really do it myself.”

Darnell insisted, “Ms. Garcia, I got this. You must be tired, just go out and take a rest.”

Gustave finally understood and did not intend to get involved. “I thought that you just wanted that teacup.Just keep doing that. Don’t forget to bring me a cup of tea.”

Not long after he went out, he quickly turned back, and his face darkened. “Darnell, bring Ms. Garcia andher grandmother upstairs. The police are here.”

The teacup in Darlene’s hand suddenly fell to the ground, and she was a little flustered.

Gustave was still calm. “It’s fine. Follow Darnell up. No matter what happens, just don’t

make a sound.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of the doorbell ringing came from outside.

They just came back, and the iron door in the front yard was not locked.

Darlene was in a hurry to go out and immediately supported her grandmother, who was dozing off on thesofa. “Grandma, let’s go upstairs.”

Darnell quickly helped her up, and they went upstairs..

Gustave had already changed into his sleeping robe and slowly walked over to open

door.

the

The moment the door opened, Avery’s face darkened, and he stood outside with a few police officers.

Gustave had a surprised expression. “Oh, Mr. Connor, Mr. Gallard. You have so many people here. Areyou catching assassins?”

Samuel Connor showed his police ID and said politely, “Mr. Walpole, sorry to disturb.

you at night.

“Mr. Gallard’s wife is missing. Someone told us that his wife came here. If you don’t mind, can we go inand replace her?

Gustave nodded in surprise. “His wife is missing. This is new. I thought you were looking for a kitten or apuppy. How can an adult be lost?”

Avery had a gloomy expression on his face. “Gustave, don’t hide it anymore. The evidence shows thatthey are here. Just let me take Darlene away. Everything will be

fine. Our families have never had any conflicts. I don’t want to make things ugly.”

Gustave took a step to the side. “So Mr. Gallard and Mr. Connor believe that they are with me. I’m afraidthat I won’t be able to stop you, right? Since you are here and we are familiar, come in and have a cup oftea.”

Avery couldn’t wait any longer. He immediately went in to look for Darlene and her grandmother. Sohurried, he knocked down a few things.

Gustave smiled faintly. “Mr. Gallard, take it easy. If they are here, they won’t be able to run away. Don’tbreak my things. You are not here to smash my stuff, right?”

Avery acted as if he hadn’t heard anything. He searched the kitchen and even the fridge, but he couldn’treplace any traces.

On the contrary, Samuel and the other policemen felt unnatural.

Firstly, Gustave and his family are powerful. Secondly, in this villa, any cup could be worth more than1,700 dollars.

They were handling a case, but if they smashed something, they would have to pay.

Gustave sat on the sofa, drinking tea with leisure. He looked at Samuel, who was quietly searching. “Mr.Connor, why don’t you come over and have a cup of tea first? My tea is not bad. I got the tea from yourchief, Mr. Hayden. He said that it is a specialty from

Chicago.”

As he spoke, he glanced at the curtain that Samuel had lifted. “Mr. Connor, be careful. The flowerpot onthe windowsill was a gift from the director of the Procuratorate. Don’t

break it.”

Samuel immediately put down the curtains and looked elsewhere. Somehow, his hands. were sweating.

Avery looked around inside and outside, and when he came out, his face became even darker. Helooked upstairs. “Mr. Walpole, can we go upstairs?”

Gustave’s expression remained the same. “Of course, other than the master bedroom at the end of thecorridor, you can search for any other place. My mother is sleeping in the master bedroom. She is not ina good mental state, and she can’t stand police officers in

uniforms and suits.”

Avery walked upstairs, and the police followed him. They searched all over the room,

but there was still no one.

The only place they didn’t search for was the master bedroom.

Avery stood outside the master bedroom and refused to leave. Since he was already here, he was notwilling to leave any place unsearched.

Gustave’s expression turned cold. “No here. Mr. Connor, Mr. Gallard, don’t push your luck.”
