He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 373

Chapter 373: Chapter 373

It had been two days since Marlon did a massive manhunt across California to find Dahlia or Katherine. He spent a lot of money to do this, but money was negligible compared to the benefit that he would reap after murdering Dahlia and Kate.

With them dead, Henry would have nobody except him, and Henry would finally listen to his words.

This was the best he could do for his family and reputation, and while he felt a bit guilty of murdering his family members, he still thought it was a necessary sacrifice.

He was sitting in his study room, reading another book while waiting for good news to come.

Until the door was knocked, and his subordinate walked in with a face as pale as a ghost.

Marlon took a deep breath as he prepared himself, "Looking at your face, it seems that you have bad news for me."

The leader kneeled in front of Marlon. He knew that he fucked up real bad and would be fired after this.

In fact, it was better if he got fired because the pressure from this old man was way too much for his pitiful heart.

"My men tracked Michael Eckermann’s license plate, and the CCTV footage found him entering a beachside apartment building," the leader reported. "The apartment building’s manager said Henry Grant recently purchased and owned an apartment there."

"So they have been hiding in that new apartment?" Marlon asked, and the leader nodded. "Then why don’t you raid it? Catch them now!"

"M—Master, we raid it immediately, but... they already left at dawn," the leader said weakly. "They barely escaped us."

"Then track Michael’s license plate! Goddamn it, why do I have to give you every order like a baby?!"

"W—We can’t do that, Master..."

"Why not?!’

"Because Michael Eckermann changed his license plate before leaving, and the parking lot CCTV is too blurry for us to identify the fake license plate number."

After many of his mistakes, Marlon had been too patient towards this incompetent fool. He raised his cane and hit him right on the skull.

"Ugh!" The leader covered his head spontaneously. "I—I tried my best, Master! I really do! It’s just impossible to track them down now!"

"Then think of another way to catch them! Why are you so incompetent? I paid you thousands of dollars weekly just to do your job!" Marlon scolded. "Go now. I don’t want to see your goddamn face until you give me some good news! I don’t even care if you capture those bitches alive or not. Just do your fucking job, you useless retards!"

The leader could only grieve as he left the study room. As expected, he got a beating from his Master. Unfortunately, he was bound by contract to serve Marlon for the rest of his life.

He got paid handsomely, but it was still work that would drive you insane.

Marlon took a deep breath to calm himself. He got too agitated just now. It was frustrating because he thought he would have finished Dahlia and Kate easily, and now they escaped and posed an even bigger threat to him.

"Dahlia must’ve done something. It’s obvious that she is aiding and protecting Kate. So if I can catch one of them, I can capture the other one."

As Marlon was busy with his idea, the door was knocked again, but the knock was gentler this time.

"Come in."

Sarah walked in with a sweet smile on her face. She held a tray with a cup of coffee and a plate of honey biscuits for Marlon.

"I’m here to bring you the honey biscuit I made myself," Sarah said as she put the coffee and the plate on the table.

Marlon smiled at his daughter-in-law. He felt guilty knowing he hadn’t done anything significant to their plan because of his men’s incompetence.

"You don’t need to do this for me, Sarah. You are a noblewoman. Just let Penny or the maids bring it to me," Marlon said.

Sarah sat facing Marlon and replied, "It’s okay. I just feel like giving you a snack so you can relax. You’ve been so stressed out these days."

"Hahah, is it too obvious? It can’t be helped. I have been trying to capture Katherine and Dahlia. I need to take them hostage, or if the situation is dire, kill them," Marlon said. He sipped the coffee and ate one biscuit. "Unfortunately, my men are incompetent fools. They can’t even catch the old or the pregnant woman."

Sarah looked sad as Marlon told her about his plan, "Do you think it’s really necessary to kill Kate or Dahlia? They could be spared somehow, right?"

"We can take them hostage, but knowing Dahlia and the Hawthorne family, I doubt they will go down without a fight," Marlon said. "I know that you are a good woman, Sarah. You don’t have any malicious ideas. But this is for the best of us. We need them dead so Henry will have no way out other than returning to me and obeying my orders."

"Okay then, I believe in you, Marlon," Sarah said. "Though, I wish I could be more helpful somehow."

"This is a messy problem, Sarah. You should stay back," Marlon suggested. "You’ve done a great job by staying loyal to Henry even though that son of a bitch betrayed you."

"Of course, I will stay with him no matter what!" Sarah stated. "But I still want to help. I recently heard a rumor about Katherine."

"Rumor? What kind?" Marlon got excited, thinking he could use this rumor to blackmail Kate or to snap Henry out of his stupidity.

"There is a rumor that Katherine has a little sister. That little sister of hers is better than her in every way, so Kate got jealous," Sarah said. "I heard she seduced Henry to help her get rid of her innocent sister, and he did. Henry helped Katherine to toss her sister in the middle of frozen tundra in Greenland."
