Chapter 299
Bowen let out a derisive laugh, shooting Turner a look as if he were a complete idiot. “I’d wrapped up my business here. Knowing someone was after me, should I have just stuck around and waited to die?”
At that time, the Turner Group’s operations were primarily concentrated in Rithol City. Upon seeing the promising potential gradually developing market in Kroit City, Bowen established a branch office there and stayed for two years.
Kurtis’s face twisted in bitter agony, as if he’d swallowed the bitterest herb imaginable. He could never forget the sight of Cordelia in her brutalized state–dying in his arms, whispering that she had no regrets, because she had saved the man she loved most.
Even after sending everyone responsible to hell to atone for Cordelia, his hatred for Bowen only deepened. “A real man doesn’t let a woman take the fall for him!” he seethed.
Aubree casually took a seat, quietly settling in for the show.
Bowen rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. “Don’t tell me this is why you’ve been relentlessly targeting Turner Group’s businesses in Kroit City ever since I left?” He thought, “Ever since Bryan and his wife passed away, I’ve barely had time for anything besides my studies and family. Whatever energy I had left all went to Alvin. The idea of having a girlfriend wasn’t even on my radar.
Bowen pulled out his phone and fired off a message to Kelvin. [Dig up everything on that ambush–kidnapping from years ago. I need it now.]
Kurtis appeared to realize there might be some hidden truth about the incident years ago.
From their conversation, Aubree had pieced together some of the story. In short, Kurtis had been in love with a girl named Cordelia Vought, who coincidentally bore a striking resemblance to her.
Bowen had once been set up and nearly kidnapped, but for reasons no one could quite explain. It was Cordelia who ended up dead. It fueled Kurtis’s burning hatred toward Bowen, and he began relentlessly targeting Bowen. But Turner Group was no easy target. Over the years, it only grew stronger with its Rithol City branch rising to dominance.
Kurtis had no choice but to bide his time, seeking an opportunity. Aubree’s appearance was exactly the chance he’d been waiting for.
As for why he targeted Aubree, it had something to do with Alice. Kurtis deliberately avoided elaborating. Right now, all he cared about was uncovering the truth about that incident.
