Chapter 170: Arthur Collins
"Assign the top group who will handle this case. Make sure you take good care of this one, Oscar! And my wife’s safety is your TOP priority. You can use any asset you need to protect her and her company."
Oscar was utterly shocked.
"B-boss... are you married?" Hearing this news it was as if someone electrocuted him. Why didn’t Big Boss tell them he was married?
Evan didn’t bother to answer his question.
"Do you understand what I said earlier?"
"A-Aye, boss, I understand!"
"Good! And, any progress about your investigation about Molly Wilson?"
Oscar explained Molly’s encounter with Nick. But Evan already knew about this. He wanted to hear who Nick was and could they find him?
"I need you to find that man!"
Oscar pounded in silence. This is a tricky case. He had a hard time finding the man because he only knew his name, Nick, and that name is usually a nickname, not the real name. He found out that most registered in the civil registry are the names of Nicholas or Nickolas.
"Boss, to tell you the truth... A little bit harder to find that man because, after I investigated, there’s no name Nick who has the registry name in North City. I investigated the first names Nicholas and Nickolas, and I found 50,900 people with that name in that city. But after narrowing the list for men between the ages 22 to 25 during that time, I found the remaining 2,003 people."
From the beginning, Evan realized Nick’s search would not be easy.
"Try to list by age and occupation. You send me the list. I will try to help you to narrow it down again!" He would try to find out more info about Nick from Rose. Maybe her mother had said something to Rose, but that girl had not yet told him. Likes; Where does he study or where does he work?
"Ayee Boss! I will try and report to you soon...." Oscar said. This is the most complicated investigation he has got so far, to find someone without a last name, birth date, or even a picture. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack. But, as a genius hacker, Oscar believes he can find that man named Nick soon.
"Boss, are you seriously married?" Oscar is still curious about this shocking news.
Evan still ignores Oscar.
He immediately ended the call and headed to the restaurant. Evan worries Rose would be awkward when she discovers that the Old man she helped in the Vale city is his grandfather.
"Damn! Why do I have so many problems appearing at the same time?" Evan cursed in silence.

While at the Platinum Palace VIP Room.
Rose was surprised when she saw the figure of Grandpa Arthur, whom she met in Vale City, sitting on one of the sofas in the lounge area.
Why is this grandpa here? Did he enter the wrong VIP room? Countless questions surged in Rose’s mind. She looked at the door number. It was right. She wasn’t bad. It must be this old man who was in the wrong VIP room. She smiles, looking at him as she approaches him.
"G-Grandpa... Wow, I could not believe we met in this place. Are you here for lunch too?"
Rose is standing near Grandpa, who was also standing up to greet her. She held his hand and felt so happy to finally meet this old man again.
"Rose..." Arthur Collins was surprised to see Rose come alone without his grandson. Where is that brat? Why did he let this girl come alone?
"Yes... yes... I’m Rose. I’m so happy, Grandpa. So happy that you haven’t forgotten about me. Grandpa, how are you?"
"Grandpa is old but healthy...." Old Collins awkwardly replied. He gestures to Rose to sit first before they talk. But Rose is feeling confused. Why is this grandpa in their VIP room?
"Grandpa, I’m really sorry it looks like you entered the wrong room. This VIP room has been booked by my fiance..." Rose sat opposite Grandpa.
Arthur Collins was speechless. The plan he prepared to surprise this girl failed to be executed. Now, he was confused about how to explain to Rose his true identity. If this girl knows he tricked her, this girl must be angry, right?
"I did? What is the number of this room?"
"Number 101. What’s Grandpa’s room number? Let me help you find it..."
"My room is 101, I’m not mistaken, little girl..." Now he will be in trouble if he doesn’t immediately explain to this girl his identity. "Mmm... Rose, may I know your purpose for coming here?" This time Grandpa Arthur’s voice sounded serious.
Rose was confused to hear Grandpa’s question. Obviously, she came to get her lunch here. Just before she wanted to reply to his question, suddenly she remembered her other plan to go here; to meet Evan’s grandpa.
Instantly Rose’s body froze with her eyes slightly wavering looking at this old man. Now she just realized that the appearance of Grandpa Arthur was far different from the one she met in Vale City. Now, Grandpa is wearing a black suit that looks expensive, and she can notice a gold Rolex in his hand. He is not a typical old man, but she believes this old man is Evan’s Grandpa, Arthur Collins.
Gosh! Can someone wake her up from this dream? It seemed absurd that their first meeting occurred in Vale City. She had never imagined that the old man she was helping was Evan’s grandfather. The person often comes to her mind for fear that this old man will not like her as well as his son, Evan’s father.
"G-Grandpa, are you Arthur Collins? Evan Collins’s grandpa?" After regaining her courage, Rose finally could string a few words.
"Haha, yes. I’m your fiance’s grandpa...." Arthur finally could laugh after not knowing where to start explaining his identity.
Words couldn’t describe how shocked Rose is now. She just sat in her place for a moment, staring at Arthur Collins in disbelief.
