Burn Me Once, Burn With Me novel Chapter 619

Ruby smiled, but her words carried a chilling undertone.

Hayley and Fanny exchanged a look.

"We need to keep gathering all the evidence that exposes Hanley and Violet's disgusting behavior. When the time is right, I'll give him a very special gift."

Ruby looked up, her gaze fixed on a point in the distance, her smile deepening.

The night seemed to grow thicker, and the wind carried the chill of the evening dew.

Meanwhile, the factory was buzzing with activity.

Hanley had rushed over that night, seething with rage.

Trailing behind him was a short, hunched figure wearing a mask. When the person occasionally looked up, only a pair of venomous eyes were visible beneath the hat and mask.

The commotion roused the workers from their sleep. Even high-level managers, rarely seen on the factory floor, were mobilized, going from building to building to wake everyone up.

Soon, everyone was gathered on the factory's open ground, which was lit as bright as day.

"Have any of you seen this man?"

Hanley gritted his teeth as a projection of Victor's face appeared on the wall behind him.

The workers, still half-asleep, shook themselves awake and tried to get a good look.

"Anyone with information, come tell me. You'll be well compensated!" Hanley forced himself to say, though he was boiling with rage.

"Isn't... isn't that the guy who was with Kemp?"

A faint, cautious voice broke the silence of the night.

It immediately caught Hanley's attention.

He located the speaker, strode over in three quick steps, and yanked him out of the crowd by his collar.

"What did you say?! Who was he with?"

"K-Kemp. Mr. Parker's nephew..."

The man shrank back, looking at Hanley nervously.

"Parker?!" Hanley roared, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. "Get out here!"

A rustle of clothing followed, and Kemp's uncle emerged, dragging his large belly and looking sheepish. "Mr. Grayson... I don't know this person."

"What else do you know?" he asked, turning to the figure behind him.

The person's face was shrouded in shadow, but the vicious glint in their eyes was unmistakable.

"It's too late. Victor has already taken him away."

"You told me Ruby arranged this. Does she have that kind of power? And how would she even know about this factory?!" Hanley complained in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Hanley's heart tightened, his face grim. "So what do I do now?"

The person didn't answer immediately. Instead, they turned to face Kemp, as if studying him.

They took two slow steps forward and stopped in front of Kemp. "Are you sure you know nothing about his whereabouts?"

Kemp's ears twitched, and he gave this strange, mysterious person a second look.

It sounded like...

A woman?
