A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 108

Sunny and Ellison are also surprised when they walk in. They immediately try to regain composure, as they have a weird look on their face.

"You guys are finally here, please take a seat," Andrei wears a peaceful expression, not surprised, and not harbouring any other emotions.

They each choose a seat and sit down, and Andrei is stuck in the middle.

"I heard that you two have something to ask?"

Kevin pauses for a bit, and then he nods, "Mr. Hawkins, do you think Bella ever changes throughout the years?"

Andrei tries to recall, "I don't think so."

"Well, Andrei. Please prepare yourself mentally for now, as what I'm going to tell you next might be not easy to accept, but they are all facts."

Andrei now wears a stern expression, he sits down on a stool nearby and says, "Please continue."

"Andrei, the current Bella you know is not your daughter. Your daughter was murdered many years ago."

Andrei is very shocked hearing what Kevin said, "Do you know what you are saying? You're saying that my daughter died many years ago?"

"Let me continue," Ellison proceeds to say, "Mr. Hawkins, 5 years ago, there was a body that was discovered. The DNA of the body matches yours."

Andrei frowns, "So you're saying that my daughter is long dead, and the current Bella is an imposter?"

Ellison nods, "That's exactly what I mean."

"Where is your evidence?" questions Andrei.

Ellison chuckles creepily, and says, "I will present you the evidence right here right now if I can. But the evidence is now in your basement."

"Well…" he pauses while he talks, "Though it all depends on you if you have the guts to go see it for yourself."

It is the first time that someone ever dares to mock Andrei to his face and say that he doesn't have the guts.

He scoffs, "Well, why wouldn't I? Show me the evidence."

He then calls for Kasper, "Go get a wheelchair, I'm going with them to witness this "evidence" they talk about."

Kevin notices the worry in Kasper's eyes when the word "evidence" is mentioned, but Kevin isn't sure if it's just him seeing things.

Kasper is not to defy Andrei's order at any time.

He proceeds to acquire the wheelchair.

Ellison continues talking right after Kasper left, "There's one more thing that you should know."

"Say it," says Andrei grimly.

"Have you ever heard of PY Gangster?" Says Ellison with a crooked smile.

Andrei grimaces, "What do you know about them?"

Ellison isn't afraid, even though Andrei is letting out threatening aura, "If you are asking about the former one, I don't know much about them. But I do know quite a lot about the current one."

Andrei repeats himself harshly, "The current one? What do you mean?"

Ellison answers, "Well, the PY Gangster is back on the streets recently. And the leader is someone close to you."

Kasper reemerges with the wheelchair amidst their conversation, Andrei isn't able to inquire about what Ellison meant, though deep down inside he doesn't really want to find out the meaning behind it.

He fakes a cough and says, "Kasper, they'll escort me over. In the meantime, please prepare some dishes for our guests."

Kasper glances at the youngins, he feels restless about them.

But he cannot do otherwise, he stares at Andrei getting on the wheelchair, Ellison then helps to push the wheelchair downstairs.

"Please do continue," reminds Andrei as he thinks that Kasper will not be able to hear their conversation anymore.

"Your daughter is quite the greedy one, the Hawkins family is the main reason why she plans to rebuild the PY Gangster."

Andrei is a bit upset hearing this, "How could it be? I always treat her so well…"

Kevin chimes in softly, "Really?"

"In any case, I did bring her up," Andrei is stunned by Kevin's retort, he holds his head while saying that.

Ellison goes on, "The Bella from before might be grateful, but the Bella right now is just a murderer."

Andrei glares at him furiously, "But then again, what evidence do you hold?"

Ellison doesn't mind his anger, "Do you think your daughter can be switched out under the radar?"

Andrei has nothing to say, he waves his hand and says, "Fine, bring me the evidence and we'll see about it."

"It's right in front of you," Ellison snickers.

Andrei raises his head, he sees his own garage.

"Why did you bring me here?"
