My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 530

Chapter 530: Another Devastating News
At Sinclair Tower.

Max was shocked when he looked at his 34-inch ultra-wide screen. It took him a few more seconds to understand what he saw.

“What the heck. Who has the nerve to do this?” Max shouted as he stood up from his seat, covering his mouth with his palm. His eyes were still fixed on his screen. “Darn it! How could this happen!?”

From the sofa in the corner, Bryan could hear Max cursing at someone. He glanced at Max’s computer desk.

“Max? Something happens?” He asked while sitting, curious to see his dark expression as if someone had offended him.

“Bryan, we are in trouble!!” Max said before sitting back in his seat.

His eyes looked sharply at the monitor while his hands swung quickly at the keyboard, typing so fast.

“Bryan, prepare yourself. We’re going to war soon. This mother fucker…whoever did this boss might kill him.”

“What the fuck are you trying to say, Max?” Bryan sat up from the sofa. “Speak in human language. I can’t understand if you speak in machine language.” he scolded in annoyance while approaching him.

However, Max still didn’t answer him. His hand was still dancing across the keyboard, and only the sound of clacking keys could be heard, making Bryan even more curious. He stood behind Max, looking at the screen.

Instantly, Bryan’s face turned white with shock when he saw the picture in the right corner of the monitor.

“What the hell, who sent that picture?” Bryan asked, looking at Max, who seemed busy with some coding, trying to find something.

“Max?” Bryan asked again.

Suddenly, Max’s fingers stopped moving, and he stood up from his chair. Grabbing the iPad on the table, he walked out of the room. “Bryan, follow me. I will explain what happened on the way to the boss’s office. We have to tell him right away.”

Bryan said nothing and hurriedly followed Max, heading to Tristan’s office.

When they arrived at Tristan’s office, Reid and Dylan left the room simultaneously.

“Why do you look so tense, Max?” Dylan asked, moving slightly to give way to Max and Bryan, who were walking towards them.

“Is everything okay?” Reid asked, curious to see Max and Bryan’s unusual tense expressions.

However, Max did not answer them. Instead, he continued walking and said, “Dylan, Reid, could you please follow me inside—”

Dylan and Bryan exchange glances, confused.

After knocking on the door and hearing Tristan’s voice, Max immediately entered the room, followed by Bryan.

Although confused, Dylan and Reid re-entered Tristan’s room. They were both curious to see Max and Bryan’s unusual expressions, scared and tense.

“Boss, there’s something I want to report to you,” Max said, standing before Tristan’s desk. Seeing him still signing the paper and ignoring them made Max impatient.

“Boss, this is about your father-in-law, Lucas Donovan,” Max added.

Tristan’s hand stopped. He looked up to see Max before him.

“Have you found him?” Tristan asked, surprised by their speed and efficiency. He had just asked Reid to locate Lucas Donovan to protect him like the other family members. And now, when the day is still long, they return with his exact location?

Max was surprised to hear Tristan’s question. “Boss, you already know about him?” he asked.

Before Tristan said anything, Reid stepped forward to stand beside Max. He looked at him with a slight frown.

“Man, you already found Lucas Donovan’s location? Wow, you are a magician. I haven’t even ordered you, but you already found him. Well done, Max! Well done…” Reid said while happily patting Max’s shoulder.

“Reid, I’m not looking at Lucas Donovan’s location,” Max explained hurriedly before they misunderstood him. “But someone just sent a photo of Lucas Donovan’s dead body to the company email. I already—”

“WHAT!?” Tristan stood up from his chair, his face pale hearing Max’s words. “Lucas Donovan’s dead body? Are you serious?”

Max didn’t answer but handed the iPad to Tristan, “You can see it by yourself, boss.”

Tristan took the iPad. His grip tightened when he saw Lucas lying on the wooden deck, his eyes open wide as if shocked to see something. From the cut on his neck, blood was seen flowing, wetting the wooden deck.

“Oh my God! He is indeed Lucas Donovan,” Reid said after approaching Tristan and looking at the iPad screen. “Who the hell killed him?”

Tristan didn’t answer, but he saw Max before him. “Any other clue who did this?”

Max frowned.

“No clue from the picture. However, the place where the person uploaded this picture seems intentionally exposed. I already secured the coordinates and found that your father-in-law actually owns the place,” Max explained.

Tristan returned Max’s iPad before he massaged his forehead, which suddenly felt tightened. He didn’t expect this to happen now. After losing his father, is Bella’s father now, too?

After a few seconds of thinking, Tristan looked at Reid. “Send people to that place. Make sure you guys find out the clue. Who is responsible for his death, and do it faster to bring him back.”

“Yes, sir!” Reid answered right away. Before he looked at Max, he said, “Man, send the location to me.”

“Bro, this place is so far away from the capital. You need to fly there and drive for long—”

“Where?” Reid asked impatiently.

“Alto City, Red Mountain, bordering the neighboring country.”

Tristan, who heard it, became even more gloomy.

“No worries, boss,” Reid said. “We have an office there in Alto City. I will contact them to go there immediately, and I will fly there by myself to bring back your father-in-law.”

“Thank you, Reid. Please bring him back to—” Tristan could not continue his sentence. He needed to discuss this with Bella first, whether she wanted her father sent here or to East City. “Call me later if you find him.”

“Yes, sir!”

Tristan instructed Dylan and the others on some critical things before asking them to leave him alone.

As soon as they all left the room, he felt his knee weaken. Sitting in his chair, he sighed deeply while looking at his cell phone.

He was now confused about whether to tell Bella by phone or in person.

A moment later, Tristan left his office and headed home.
