Chapter 1056: Chapter 1056: Hope Nothing Goes Wrong_1 Chapter 1056: Chapter 1056: Hope Nothing Goes Wrong_1 Alexander Sumrs’ expression beca solemn in an instant.
“What happened?” he frowned, the smile fading from his face.
Purple Sumrs told him about the incident that occurred on the street.
“I’m not sure…” Purple emphasized repeatedly, “I was wearing a mask and the streets were crowded, so logically he shouldn’t have recognized … Plus, it was noisy around, maybe I heard wrong.”
Purple Sumrs was conflicted, saying on one hand that she might have recognized the wrong person, while on the other, she was anxious and uneasy.
Alexander Sumrs thought for a mont, then called Zack Wallace: “Check the surveillance at the security entrance, screen from yesterday to today and look for any sign of Nathaniel Sumrs.”
Just as he was about to hang up the phone, his voice paused, and Alexander Sumrs asked again, “How much did the person who died today lose in the casino?”
Zack Wallace needed to investigate further and couldn’t imdiately answer Alexander Sumrs.
Alexander Sumrs hung up the phone to wait for news, his brow furrowed, his expression slightly grave.
Purple Sumrs raised her hand to his brow, gently pressing, trying to smooth away the furrow.
“Maybe I mistook him…” she said softly as she pressed, “Ever since he escaped, there’s been no news, making superstitious and paranoid, sigh…”
Alexander Sumrs grasped her hand, rubbing it in his palm.
“If you feel sothing is wrong, then there must be sothing wrong,” Alexander Sumrs said sternly, “Regardless, we need to check it out.”
Purple Sumrs was silent.
She too hoped for a thorough investigation, even though it would be sowhat troubleso; at least she could be at ease.
Zack Wallace arranged for his staff to review the surveillance but found no results. Today was unlike any other day, with too many guests wearing masks; it was impossible to discern any features, let alone identify whether Nathaniel Sumrs had entered the casino.
Moreover, when Yolanda Sumrs’ ex-boyfriend committed suicide by jumping off a building last ti, Nathaniel Sumrs was at ho, and no one could confirm any connection between the two, not even Purple Sumrs.
However, Zack Wallace determined how much the man who jumped had lost, with confirmation from the dealer and the surveillance footage that the man had bet six tis tonight, using 15 thousand chips on three occasions, totaling a loss of 54 thousand.
While this was no small amount, for most patrons of the casino, it also wasn’t a significant sum.
“Go check his family situation,” Alexander Sumrs instructed, “what kind of work he does, who are the mbers of his family, who he’s been in contact with recently, the more detail the better.”
If it was just a simple suicide, it wouldn’t matter.
If, however, Nathaniel Sumrs was indeed up to sothing, Alexander needed to find out what Nathaniel’s intentions were, what relationship he had with the deceased, and what was significant about the person who died.
Because of this incident, both Purple Sumrs and Alexander Sumrs were a bit out of sorts.
From outside the window, the midnight chi resounded, echoing endlessly over the city aglow with lights, while at the sa ti, dazzling fireworks blood in the night sky, outshining the stars.
Christmas had arrived.
Even from high up, Purple Sumrs felt as if she could hear the roaring cheers from the streets below.
Alexander Sumrs wrapped his arms around her from behind, whispering comfortingly, “It’ll be alright.”
Purple Sumrs softly humd in agreent.
Hopefully, everything would be alright…
…
When she woke up the next day, it was beautiful weather with a gentle breeze and bright sun.
Purple Sumrs opened her eyes, still groggy with sleep, staring at the beam of light leaking through the curtains, when suddenly she realized sothing and turned over to find her phone.
She checked the news, scrolling for a while, until she finally found a short ssage: Yesterday, a man jumped from the ninth floor of the casino and died on the spot.
The piece was brief, with no comnts, and the number of views was pitifully low, lost among the multitude of headlines like an insignificant grain of sand, overlooked by all.
Purple Sumrs let out a sigh of relief, feeling that the matter should be over now.
