Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 666

When Charlie heard the words "Wilson Factory explosion," he froze, his face showing a complex mix of emotions.

"Who are you?" he asked warily.

Zachary displayed a hunger for money. "Don't be nervous. I'm just a private investigator. By coincidence, I got this big job—find the truth and get paid."

"Who's the client?" Charlie's face was full of suspicion.

Zachary suddenly gave him a cold look, his tone full of warning. "Charlie, in this business, many things are confidential when it comes to clients. We take the money and do the job, never asking too many questions."

Seeing how serious Zachary was, Charlie began to accept that he might really be a private detective.

"Charlie, this is a genuine two million. Aren't you tempted? If I didn't think you knew a lot about what happened back then, I wouldn't even consider sharing this with you. If we succeed, that's two million—one million each."

Charlie's heart trembled at these words. One million! How could he not be tempted?

With that money, he could leave West Ridge and get far away from all these people.

But that person was powerful. Every time he thought about what happened that year, he couldn't stop his whole body from shaking.

He closed his eyes and could still hear those people's shrill screams and cries for help in his ears. After that violent explosion, some were blasted into pieces, some were blown away, and others lost legs or limbs.

The bright red blood was nowhere to be seen—just bits of flesh everywhere.

With a soft sigh, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zachary. The layer of fear was gradually fading.

His entire body ached, and the places where Zachary had hit him yesterday still throbbed with pain.

He couldn't wait any longer. He had to get the money and leave!

The mountain range formed a natural barrier. The valley was overgrown with weeds and trees, without a single building in sight.

Charlie exhaled and stamped his foot. "It's right beneath our feet."

Beneath their feet?

Zachary's brow furrowed deeply. Finally, he understood why Steven's men had searched for so long but never truly seen the factory's actual appearance.

It was because the factory was inside the mountain range.

"When Wilsons built the factory years ago, they dug a cave under the mountain. This mountain range is full of precious herbs, and the valley grows all kinds of rare medicinal plants. These were one of the main raw materials for the pharmaceutical factory." Charlie's voice sounded distant.

Zachary stood with his feet firmly on the ground, trying hard to contain his excitement.
