Chapter 93 - Ninety Three
Ryan sat at his desk, his mind racing. He had to uncover the truth about what had happened to Suzy, and he needed to do it quickly.
Turning to Davis, he issued a direct order, "Find out what happened at Count Edmund’s manor during the Duchess’s stay. Every detail must be reported no matter how insignificant it may seem."
Davis nodded, his face etched with determination. "I will, Your Grace."
Ryan continued, his voice low, "And find out who the duchess met at the Red Door. I want to know everything that transpired in that place, and the man that assaulted her.
"Consider it done, Your Grace," Davis replied, his tone resolute.
" Wait ," Ryan said as he had a rethink on his order. "Kill him. He dared lay a finger on my wife."
Davis looked at him, his face etched with surprise. " Your Grace" he started, his voice low almost sounding like a whisper. "Are you sure you want to get your hands dirty? I know it’s not in my place to say anything concerning the duchess but won’t it be preferable if you send him to prison to rot there?"
Ryan paused, his mind working overtime. "Fine. Do it your way but let me know as soon as you have any information," he instructed.
Davis’s expression turned serious. "Consider it done, Your Grace," he replied.
Ryan paused, his mind racing. He needed to know everything about what had happened to Suzy. He couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to this story than met the eye.
"And keep me informed about Thorne’s progress," he added. "We need to know what he’s found."
