His Toxic Addiction
Chapter 204: Reality Stuned Him.

Chapter 204: Reality Stuned Him.

Alfred felt a strong headache adding up.

He scattered through the whole files in his study room searching for those files. His heart hung on the borderline of going off and to keep on beating.

He was scared to his bones. His face was as pale as a ghost. He knows the file Logan has and strangely, he couldn’t find the remaining files that were meant to be with him.

Alfred’s face burned with anger. The universe seems to be playing with him. He knew he never made the mistake of placing those files in a place as open as his cupboard drawer but still, he rummaged through his desk drawers, and just as he had expected, nothing was found.

He stood still for a moment before combing his fingers through his hair. Currently, as he stands, he was penniless. If those minor files he was searching for go to the law, he was sure about going to prison because of them.

He wouldn’t have bothered if he had money.

He must have money to buy the law. Now he has nothing, not even a single coin, he felt torn between the world of the dead and the living.

What scared him the most, was he couldn’t give an account of how all of his money disappeared. His whole money had disappeared without a trace.

Logan was the only mastermind who could do this. That reality stunned him the most. How could Logan have access to his money?

Securing his wealth was his greatest desire as he want to climb up with all added up. Even Laura his wife has never caught a glimpse of his security code.

The first time his whole profit from the company disappeared this way, he pondered over it but not this intense because before he would realize the damage his carelessness caused, Laura came up with a solution - giving Adele out in marriage.

Now he thought about it, his carelessness alone wasn’t the cause. Someone was solidly under that incident.

Laura!

The name resounded in his mind the moment he suspected another human as the cause.

He blinked harshly.

Laura?

Why did her name pop up in his mind as a crime suspect? Laura would never be able to do something like that.

He wasn’t siding with her but she would never be able to, at least not under his nose. She would be forever dumb and worth nothing more than a tool for his progress.

However, the name kept on resounding in his heart and his guts have never been a wrong guess. Laura! Laura!! Laura!!! The voices in his head chanted.

"No!!" he hollered at the voices in his head, "She is nothing more than a cheap tool!" he raged.

He slammed hard on his desk. First Arissa, next Logan, Adele, Mr. Adams, his money, so many more, and now, Laura?

No, she can’t be added to the list of his troubles. She’s worth noting to have such a privileged title. Anyone that did this to him must be a smart human and Laura... she is a dumb fat housewife who recently realized she was being used after he had achieved all of his goals.

But has he? He’s now penniless with no one by his side. Soon, he might even become a convict.

.....

Logan watched the city security footage with incredible concentration. He does not even want to miss something as little as a fly by blinking.

Though he has gotten a quarter share of the Lincoln wealth, all of what Laura had hidden were now under his name but he still has to find Mr. Adams.

Each passing second felt threatening. He always has that air around him, that keeps on whispering to him his whole plans would crash soon.

From the beginning, his plans were all easy and rosy. Now was different. He can’t see an ending in all of these. Everything he set as a plan kept on moving like a dice.

An unpredictable dice. He had planned all of his moves perfectly before slapping Alfred with all of his comebacks. Yet now, the game was being played as if he never calculated his moves.

The man in charge of the city control room could only stand at the side, far away from the crazy psycho and his dangerously armed men.

What they were doing was illegal but who was he to speak if he loves his life? So, like the frightened kitten he currently was, the man stood still and watched.

Logan rubbed his hand on his forehead. He took his search back to the day his men lost Mr. Adams and his scroll tightened when he kept on seeing no green light.

He could place a hundred percent bet that Mr. Adams was still in the city. Either patrolling or hiding. Yet, the footage showed nothing.

Frustrated with all of his efforts going to waste, he angrily smatched the keyboard. He angrily reached for his gun and without a second thought, he shot the computer screen.

The man by the side flinch but his men behind him did not even blink. When their boss wants to be this way, they were used to it.

The killing urge Logan felt became strong as it ran down his veins at his actualization that Mr. Adams was steps away from him. He was so furious that he could die.

Clenching his gun so tight, his eyes turned calculating in realization. Mr. Adams wouldn’t just leave the city without setting things straight with him or Alfred.

The man has scores to settle if not, he would have planted spies in his gang. And one more thing, there was no trace of his angel on the screen even though he had an encounter with her days ago.

Could it be he had been facing the wrong person all this while?
