Chapter 562

Something came to Quincy’s mind. “By the way, Sue has been coming to see you for the past few days.
I’m not sure how she found out that Mr. Vanderbilt framed her about the vaccine, and she told Elder
Master Goldmann about this. He believes her and blames Ms. Vanderbilt for it.”

Nolan paused what he was doing and turned sideways, his eyes looking dark and lonely.

A silver-white car slowly drove into the yellow poplar forest. The wide lawn and the rows of tall poplar
trees looked like an oil painting under the bright blue sky.

This beautiful yet secluded area was where Adrian lived.

Saydie parked the car outside a three-story tall villa with its own lawn. The doors were tightly shut.

Maisie got out of the car, Saydie rang the doorbell, and someone came to the door after a long time. The
man looked out from behind the door and asked, “Who are you?”

“Is Mr. Kestner in?”

“No.”

Saydie suddenly kicked the door as the man was about to close it.

The man took out a gun to defend himself, but Saydie immobilized him on the floor immediately, took his
gun, and pointed it to his head. Saydie knocked the man out upon hearing movement upstairs and
entered the villa with Maisie.

There were signs of a struggle in the house. It was messy, and there was blood on the floor.



There were signs of movements upstairs, so they both rushed toward the study. Saydie kicked the door
with a gun in hand, but all they saw was Jones tied to a chair. He had kicked over a vase to make some
noise.

Maisie was surprised. “Mr. Smith?”

She immediately went forward to untie him and removed the tape over his mouth.

Jones was out of breath when he finally got to speak.” Roger’s people took my uncle. They wanted to
keep me here so that I couldn’t report it!”

Saydie put her gun away and frowned. “I guess Mr. Goldmann was right. Roger wasn’t going to let Mr.
Kestner get away.”

They were still too late..

Maisie helped him up and saw blood gushing out of a wound on his calf. “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine. By the way, how did you get in? That man-”

Maisie cut him off. “Saydie knocked him out. You need to get to the hospital. We’ll send you there.”

Saydie drove toward the nearest hospital in the city. Jones turned paler by the minute in the car. Blood
kept gushing out, possibly because of compression of blood vessels, and a big part of his pants was
soaked.

Maisie wrapped a cloth around an inch above his wound.

Jones looked at her and smiled weakly. “I’m glad you showed up. I thought I was going to die there.”

Maisie looked at him. “When was Mr. Kestner taken?”



He answered, “An hour ago.”

The men had taken him away after rushing in and fighting the bodyguards. Jones had realized that
something was wrong when he came to see Adrian and was ambushed when he got through the door.
He had already been tied up by the time he woke up. That person had been keeping an eye on him
because he was afraid that he would report it.

That person had had to leave upon hearing the doorbell, so Jones deliberately broke a vase, but it cut
his calf when it shattered.

At the hospital…

The doctor immediately helped Jones stop the bleeding while Maisie waited outside.

Saydie walked over after making a call. “Ma’am, I’ve informed Mr. Goldmann about this. He has sent
someone to save Mr. Kestner.”

Maisie nodded. Since no one knew Nolan’s status and it had been chaotic, Roger had been cornered
and couldn’t do anything to Strix. Still, he could take it out on Adrian.
