Chapter 741 The Sinister Man

Manuel didn't act rashly. After figuring out where Susan was, he just waited in his car and watched the view provided by traffic cameras. At noon, the woman reappeared, carefully coming out of the building. She left here when she found nothing strange around her.

Seeing the woman leave, Manuel got out of his car immediately. He observed the surroundings through the traffic cameras but didn't replace anyone else except her. Accordingly, he believed that Henry and his younger sister, the woman, kidnapped Susan. It made Manuel's rescue much easier.

He quietly walked into the building and hid at the exit passageway. He guessed that the woman went out to buy lunch. When he saw her go out to buy breakfast in the morning, he realized that no one lived here normally, and thus they didn't cook themself. That was why Manuel chose to wait outside the building to figure out the situation.

After around half an hour, the woman came back, carrying takeaway food as he expected. She walked into the building to take the lift. When waiting for the lift, she was vigilant and kept an eye on the surroundings. She entered the lift when it arrived and then made the doors closed.

Seeing this, Manuel rushed out of the exit passageway and looked at the floor indicator on the wall. When the floor number was 23, the lift stopped. Manuel hastened to press a floor number button which led to the 22nd floor. He did so out of prudence. The lift went up until it arrived on the 22nd floor. Manuel stepped out of it.

Few people lived here since the local government had planned to develop this area and urged the residents to move out. Henry chose to kidnap and bring Susan here because there were few people. Manuel began to observe the layout of this building and figured out that there were 7 suites on each floor. He familiarized himself with the location of each suite and planned how to leave the building after rescuing Susan. Then, he took the stairs step by step to the 23rd floor. With nervousness, he walked to the 23rd floor. Since few residents lived here, Manuel could figure out which one was occupied according to whether the ground was dusty.

In the room, Emily was back with lunch. Henry had got up and was sitting in the drawing room where Susan was bound. Neither of them uttered a word. And the room had been silent until Emily came back. "Was there anyone suspicious?" Henry asked. He was a cautious man who could have been successful in business were it not for the decline of his family.

"Nope," Emily answered, "there were few people here."

"Did you get out of the lift in advance?" Henry asked.

"Yeah, I got out of the lift on the 23rd floor."

"Great." Henry nodded and looked at Susan at the same time. Susan bit her lips since she hated the man in front of her very much.

"Do you know why I act so carefully?" Henry sneered. Keeping silent, Susan was reluctant to talk to him.

"To be honest, Manuel frightens me." Henry said with a self-deprecating smile on his face and continued to ask, "Do you know how many times he beat me?" Susan looked at him coldly, uttering no word.

"Without him, I could hold the Bank long ago and you and your dad wouldn't be in such a situation. It's all Manuel's fault. It's reasonable for you to hate him." "You are such a madman!" Susan couldn't help swearing.

"No. I am not." Henry denied, "I did all these things because I should do so. Susan, have you ever considered my situation? If you were me, what would you do when your family was broken and your parents were dead? Would you accept it or fight against it?"

Indeed, she didn't think about Henry's situation. And she only knew that she hated Henry because he cheated on her.

"If you were me, you would do the same thing. We are ordinary people, instead of saints. So even if you and your father may die, you shouldn't hate me since you two will die well." Henry stated. Susan stared at him coldly and said, "Your father killed himself."

"Well." Henry sneered, "My father did kill himself, but he was forced to die by your Edward. Therefore, I will make Edward kill himself!"

"How dare you!"

"By the way, it's time to ask your dad about the progress made."

Then Henry used Susan's phone to call her father. At this moment, Edward was transferring the shares to Susan with his lawyer. The ringing of his phone scared him and made him tremble. Even the slightest sound could scare him to a large extent. But he still answered the phone in no time. "Henry."

"How's it going?" Henry asked, looking impatient.

"I am transferring the shares to Susan now."

"What if I want to break my promise?" Henry said.

Edward's heart sank because he had no idea about what Henry was going to do at all.

"You should die before midnight. I am not willing to see you still alive tomorrow."

"Henry!" Edward gnashed his teeth with anger.

"I do this in case something bad may happen. I am not worried that you may do something bad. But I am not sure what Manuel will do."

Henry's words silenced Edward. But how did Henry know that Edward had told this to Manuel?

"You told Manuel, right?" Henry frowned.

"No, of course not." Edward denied. What he could do at this moment was to deny it.

"Whether you told him or not doesn't matter now. But Edward, I don't think Manuel is trustworthy. Since he doesn't love Susan, his motivation for rescuing Susan is to stop me from holding Phillips Bank. If so, he is probably to usurp your company. Do you still choose to trust him?"

Hearing this, Edward held his phone hard.

Henry continued, "Within an hour, provide me with agreements with a legally binding force that entitle me to hold and use the shares of Phillips Bank." And he hung up as soon as he finished.

Looking at the phone, Edward looks extremely anxious. He hadn't expected that Henry could drive him to despair. With his body trembling, Edward suddenly remembered what Henry said about Manuel.
