CHAPTER 2141

Christopher then hung up the phone without even sparing Jim any time to think, much less respond.

Sitting in his study, Jim could not help sneering as he stared at the phone.

Christopher had not changed at all; he would always retaliate whenever he felt he had been mistreated.

Jim had just hung up on him because of his bad mood, and within minutes, Christopher had called him

again to do the same thing in revenge.

However, on the flip side, this meant that Christopher had recovered greatly and was more and less

back to his normal self.

Jim sat in his chair, contemplating for a while more, before finally standing up.

He had yet to find any clues about Number-9 from the information his assistant had gathered, and he

knew that it would not be easy trying to track down Number-9.

Since that was the case, there was no harm in meeting Christopher for a quick drink.

Besides, he was convinced that Bonnie had sent Christopher to talk to him about her and was curious

to find out what he had to say.

As soon as he thought of this, Jim called his assistant, ordering him to continue gathering as much

information as possible, and strode out the door.

As soon as he left the house and got into his car, he received a call from an unknown number.

Not only that, but the call was received on his personal number.

Jim furrowed his brows.

He did not recall giving his personal number to any stranger recently.

Despite this, he picked up the phone.

“Hello,” a woman’s voice he had never heard before rang out from the other end of the line.

The woman sounded in her mid-twenties, and her voice was gentle and melodic.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Landry. This is from .

My name is Sarah Duncan; my father is Paul Duncan.

“My father told me that you took a very important name list from him, and he requires this document for

his future use, so he sent me over to help you, Mr. Landry.

“When you finally find whomever it is you want to find, i’ll have to take the name list from

you.”

She chuckled and added, “Don’t worry, Mr. LCSFPM_xrry, I won’t charge you for helping you locate this

person.

“I myself had stayed in the orphanage for some time when I was young, and maybe I can provide you

some clues.”

Jim furrowed his brows when he heard this.

A split second later, he curled his lips into a smile and replied, “Thank you in advance, Ms. Duncan.”

Then, he hung up the phone without giving Sarah any chance to ask further.

Would she be able to give him some clues just because she had lived at the orphanage for a while

when she was a child? If that was the case, why was he still unable to track down Number-9, even

though he, too, had stayed there for some time? Not only that, but even after he was convinced that he

had found the right person, which was Charlotte, it turned out to be a lie… As soon as he thought of

this, Jim closed his eyes and chuckled bitterly.

The image of the little girl dressed in red appeared in his mind’s eye, standing before him with her arms

outstretched to protect him.

He let out a sigh, opened his eyes, and toyed with the necklace in his hand.

“Where are you, Number-9?” This was the necklace he had given Number-9 a long time ago.

Initially, Jim thought that as long as he found the person who possessed this necklace, he would be

able to find her.

However, it turned out the person who owned this necklace was not Number-9 at all, and he ,had been

deceived for many years…

Where was the real Number-9? Had she forgotten entirely about him and started her life afresh? No

matter what happened, even if she had already married someone else, he would do everything he

could to find her! This was his promise to her, and it would never change!
