Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 440: He Can Only Wait to Die...

Then, with a flick of his hand, he tossed the phone into the sea, and boarded a speedboat, leaving Colorado behind...

The phone fell into the seawater, yet it kept ringing persistently.

Until it sank into the depths of the ocean, cutting off the signal, and finally fell silent.

This was precisely why William Glover kept dialing the number, yet no one ever picked up, and the phone prompts changed from "unanswered" to "temporarily unreachable"...

William Glover couldn’t reach the masked woman, and panic set in.

He looked at Adrian Davies and spoke truthfully, "I can’t reach Simon."

Adrian’s eyes were icy as he looked at William Glover, questioning with determination, "Simon is the masked woman who took Melody and poisoned her with that toxin?!"

William Glover admitted, "Yes!"

Then he urgently said, "I’m already poisoned, I can’t play tricks. Give me time, and I will find Simon to have her remove the poison from Melody Parker."

As soon as Adrian thought about how Melody was poisoned by this man, becoming a soulless shell, he felt an urge to kill.

His deadly gaze bore into William Glover, every moment wanting to end William’s life, "Where is Melody now? Also, where can I find that woman?"

William Glover knew Adrian wanted to kill him; if he revealed Melody Parker’s location and Adrian found Simon, he would surely die.

But as long as Melody Parker was still in his hands, the outcome would be different.

According to Virgil Davies, Melody Parker was Adrian’s weak spot.

Today, he underestimated Adrian’s strength, which is why he confronted Adrian without backup and let Adrian kill all his bodyguards and even poison him.

But as long as he could survive today and keep Melody Parker firmly in his grasp, why should he fear a mere child like Adrian?

By then, Adrian would have no choice but to obey him, respectfully offering up the antidote...

Thinking of this, William Glover looked at Adrian, suddenly emboldened, directly proposing, "I will make Simon remove the poison from Melody Parker, and I’ll return her to you, but you need to give me the antidote in exchange. If you disagree, then kill me now. As for Melody Parker and the antidote, you’ll never have them!"

Adrian naturally knew what William Glover was thinking.

At the same time, he clearly understood that William Glover would never reveal the whereabouts of Melody and that woman.

He looked at William Glover and reluctantly nodded, "Fine."

He then turned around with a lethal aura, leaving the estate with its corpses sprawled everywhere.

As Adrian walked out of the estate gates, Locke, who had been pursuing Virgil Davies, returned just in time.

Seeing Adrian, Locke immediately reported, "CEO, I failed in my duties, and let Virgil Davies escape."

Adrian was not in the mood to deal with a person barely holding on to life.

He looked at Locke, speaking coldly, "If he escaped, then so be it."

Then he continued with a cold command, "Stay here, and report immediately if there is any news of Melody."

"Yes!" Locke accepted the order...

Once Adrian left, the tension in William Glover finally eased.

He picked up the phone again and made a call.

Dozens of minutes later, three vans raced over, stopping at the estate’s entrance.

Shortly after, dozens of men in black got out of the vehicles.

They entered the estate and were stunned by the destruction and the bodies scattered everywhere.

All these years, although they had gone legitimate following the boss, not engaging in past violent activities, they remained untouchable in Colorado.

What happened today?

Who would dare challenge the boss?

The leading man quickly entered the house and found the disheveled William Glover in the equally demolished estate living room.

Seeing William Glover covered in blood, with his right eye swollen beyond recognition, the man exclaimed in shock, "Boss, what happened? How did you get like this?"

William Glover looked at him, "Peter Lee, don’t worry about it now, I have something important for you to do."

This man named Peter Lee was someone William Glover had saved from death, who later joined him to strive and become legitimate, his most trusted subordinate.

Hearing William Glover, Peter Lee immediately responded, "Boss, whatever you need, just say it."

"Take people to find Simon and get the antidote from her." After giving this order, William added, "Be careful on this mission, don’t let anyone follow you."

"Yes, boss." Peter accepted the task, then looked at William, "Boss, let me have someone take you back to the villa."

William Glover nodded, "Alright."

...

When William returned to the villa, he found his wife Lily Lee missing, along with his son, and Melody Parker, whom he had kept locked in the villa’s secret room.

He didn’t need to think to know Lily Lee must have been incited by that rebellious Virgil Davies to rashly take Melody Parker to Whitehill!

"Bitch! Brainless fool!..." William cursed angrily as he pulled out his phone to dial Lily Lee’s number.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off..." Lily Lee’s phone was turned off.

Hearing the cold, unfeeling mechanical voice, William was so enraged he almost threw his phone.

Suppressing the urge to smash his phone, he instead dialed Virgil Davies’s number.

But like Lily Lee’s, Virgil Davies’s phone was also turned off.

William could no longer contain his fury and threw the phone.

The phone crashed to the ground, breaking into pieces.

Just then, Peter Lee, who had gone to find Simon, walked in, "Boss, bad news, Simon is dead."

"What?" William stood up in shock, staring at Peter Lee in disbelief, "What did you just say? Who’s dead?"

"Boss, Simon is dead." Peter looked at William and repeated the fact that Simon was dead.

After speaking, he added, "And I looked; she didn’t have the antidote, someone else took it!"

William’s expression was one of utter defeat, as he fell back into the chair, "It’s over, it’s all over..." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Without the antidote, without Melody Parker, he was as good as dead.

No! He couldn’t die!
