Chapter 98: The Suspect
"What?! Athena got into an accident?!" Vladimir burst out, slamming his table.
"Hey! Don’t shout! You’re breaking my eardrum!" Lanny distanced the phone from her ear. She already expected her brother to react like this.
"Tell me! Where is she? Is she just fine?! I want to see her." Vladimir didn’t waste his time as he dashed off, leaving his office. He was still holding his phone, waiting for Lanny’s response.
"Calm down, Bro. Athena is just fine. She didn’t get hurt at all." Lanny reassured him. "I called you because I need your help."
"How can I calm down after knowing about her accident?! Who is responsible for this? We have to sue that company for negligence!" Vladimir refused to listen. He wouldn’t feel at ease without seeing Athena right now. "Where are you? Give me the address. I’ll go there!"
"Vladimir Ivankov! For goodness’ sake, listen to me first. My goal is to catch the culprit who caused this accident. And I’m gonna need your help with this."
"WHAT?! Someone intentionally caused this accident!! I’m going to kill them!" He declared through his gritted teeth.
Lanny facepalmed, shaking her head helplessly. "Will you help me or not?"
"Of course, I will!" Vladimir promptly responded.
"Good. But it’s not you whom I need. Just send your subordinates. They have to capture someone for me. I have a suspect in mind," Lanny informed him, her lips curling up into a sly smile.
"No. I’ll catch that guy myself. Tell me who is the target!" Vladimir insisted. He didn’t want to give this task to his subordinate. He preferred to catch the culprit by himself.
"Are you sure? I don’t want your hot temper to ruin this. Besides, who knows you might do something to this person? Let me remind you. We have to capture this person and get a confession." Lanny was hesitant to give this task to her brother, given his personality.
