Chapter 330 – REVENGE (3)
Lexus was now facing two investigators who asked him about the details of the issue with Leon Dawson who was held captive in one of the buildings belonging to the Tordoff family and their involvement in it.
However, the second son of the Tordoff family was not willing to answer any questions without being accompanied by his lawyer, who was still on his way to this house.
The two investigators who had come were unable to do much, because the Tordoff family background was so extraordinary and could not be underestimated.
Both could only ask simple questions that Lexus was willing to answer, out of courtesy.
But, not long after, Ramon came along with Diego Tatum, even before their family lawyers had arrived.
The two investigators were quite surprised to see Diego Tatum, and they immediately stood up to salute the man.
It is only now they realized that Ramon Tordoff's wife is Hailee Tatum, who is Diego Tatum's niece.
"Ramon, how's Hailee?" asked Lexus when he saw Ramon had come and walked up to his brother with a questioning face. He didn't expect that Ramon would appear together with Diego Tatum.
"Still unconscious," replied Ramon in an even voice. He then walked into the room where Diego Tatum and the two investigators were talking behind closed doors.
"I thought you'd be with Hailee until she came to her senses," Lexus said, looking confused.
Of course Ramon had planned to do so at first, but the reality required Ramon to leave Hailee for a while.
But, even so, he was still able to monitor Hailee's progress through the CCTV camera installed in her room.
"I have business to attend to," said Ramon, then opened the door and went inside.
Because Ramon did not forbid Lexus to enter the room and take part in this small meeting, Lexus did not miss the opportunity and followed Ramon inside to listen to their discussion.
"… Yes, this is human trafficking," said Diego Tatum with a serious face as he informed the two investigators.
Uh? Lexus looked confused when it was the first sentence he heard from Diego. What human trafficking?
But, Lexus didn't ask any questions, he just listened to them.
"You can follow me to see the evidence for yourself." Diego finished his sentence.
Lexus then looked at Ramon, who was standing next to him and didn't say anything, it seemed that there was something he didn't know or that Ramon had not had time to tell him.
The two investigators then agreed to Diego's proposal. If there really was evidence on Leon Dawson's involvement in human trafficking, then of course this would be something big.
However, before they could leave, Ramon finally spoke up.
"I want you to keep this investigation a secret for the time being until more evidence is gathered," Ramon said in a stern voice while his face showed no friendliness, forcing them to heed every word the Tordoff heir said.
"More evidence…?" muttered one of them. If indeed Diego Tatum had absolute evidence in the form of children that Ramon managed to save from human trafficking, then what other evidence could solidify such a crime case?
As if he could read what was on the investigator's mind, Ramon added. "You don't think Leon Dawson's crimes are all that much, do you?"
Ramon would not let Leon go that easily. It was impossible, regardless of the fact that Leon was the biological father of Lexus. He will destroy that man and he will start from this.
Since Leon had involved the police in this matter, then Ramon of course would take advantage of everything and take every slightest opportunity to make Leon suffer.
If this was how Leon wanted to play, then Ramon would show him how this game is played and how to end it.
=================
Having finished with the investigators who left with Diego Tatum to collect the mentioned evidence, Ramon stared at Lexus in silence.
"What? You want to say something?" asked Lexus who was uncomfortable being stared at by Ramon like that. "Just say it."
They stayed back in the room while Diego took the two investigators to the place where Marcus left the children he met when he and Ian were on a mission to rescue his sister.
Ramon told Diego about it and this was something that could incriminate Leon and at least make the news of his captivity in the basement of one of the Tordoff company buildings divert a bit.
As for Tordoff's corporate image, it would be handled by their company's PR professionals and there was nothing to worry about so far, as the media were still under the influence of the Tordoff family to withhold the news.
"I will not stop just because he is your biological father," Ramon said the sentence clearly, because he did not want anything to be hidden from Lexus and not only that, he did not want any misunderstandings in this matter.
This matter had consumed all of Ramon's attention and energy, therefore, he did not expect another crucial problem in the form of Lexus.
His brother should know where he stood now.
"Seriously?" Lexus raised his eyebrows in disbelief at his brother. He sighed exasperatedly. "I will be very angry if you don't give him the punishment he deserves for hurting my sister-in-law and my future nephew," Lexus said angrily. "And if you don't want to do it, I will assure you, I will do it myself."
Lexus didn't feel any emotional attachment to Leon at all. Maybe he was his real father, but Lexus didn't feel that way. He only felt that the man was just a stranger he had just met.
And after all, just like Ramon, Lexus tended to think logically and wasn't too happy to dramatize the situation.
"Hm," Ramon nodded when he heard that. "Where's mother?" he asked.
"She is at her house," Lexus answered quickly, and as if knowing that Ramon was going to confront Lis, he added. "Don't be too harsh, she doesn't seem to know much about this."
Ramon didn't respond to Lexus's words and walked out of the room, but before that he said, "Go to the hospital and accompany Hailee."
