“I refused to let them enter, but Mrs. Lenoir’s sister claimed that Mr. Beckham had come to confront Raymond about some past issues. She also warned us that we would be in serious trouble if we angered Mr. Beckham.”
Mr. Kolson looked down as he spoke, not daring to meet Damien’s gaze. “I wanted to call you, but your phone had no signal. I tried several times but couldn’t get through.”
“Mrs. Lenoir’s sister kept pressuring me… so I let them in. I thought they couldn’t attempt anything with Raymond as long as we were there. But I didn’t expect…”
Mr. Kolson pointed to a stranger restrained by two b*dyguards in a corner. “I didn’t expect the man Mrs. Lenoir’s sister brought was not Mr. Beckham, but a skilled impersonator.”
“After this man entered, he lay in bed pretending to be Raymond. Meanwhile, Mrs. Lenoir’s sister left with the real Raymond.” Mr. Kolson’s voice grew softer as he spoke. He could not believe he had made such a mistake.
Damien closed his eyes and took out his phone, saying, “Zachary, I need a favor. Can you block the traffic in Ziphon? I need to find someone.”
Zachary did not ask any questions but responded, “Sure.”
After hanging up the phone, Greg, the butler, rushed to Damien. “I’ve obtained the surveillance footage. They headed towards the harbor, most likely to board a smuggler’s boat.”
Greg paused before continuing, “I checked further. The most recent smuggler’s boat set sail half an hour ago. Raymond probably left on that boat.”
Damien closed his eyes, a cold smile forming on his face. “So, it was a diversion.”
He now knew with certainty that Gwenn was the client Jarvi mentioned. However, her main goal was not to harm them. Instead, it was to prevent him and Cherise from returning to the hospital.
Furthermore, Damien believed Mr. Kolson had indeed tried to call him, and the fact that his phone had no signal was probably true. After all, if Gwenn could hire so many people to trouble him and Cherise, she could easily install a few signal-blocking devices near the stall.
Seeing Damien remaining silent, Mr. Kolson was so fearful that he immediately knelt before him.
“Sir, it’s my fault… I will accept any punishment you issue to me.”
As someone close to Damien, Mr. Kolson understood how much Damien hated Raymond. Even though Raymond was his uncle, it did not stop him from mercilessly beating him up.
Yet, due to Mr. Kolson’s momentary negligence, Gwenn had helped Raymond escape.
“It’s okay” Damien returned to his senses and glanced at Mr. Kolson. “Don’t blame yourself. The enemy lurks in the shadows while we are in the light. Of course, we couldn’t anticipate that others would resort to such despicable means. It’s not your fault.”
After saying that, Damien casually turned to Greg. “Transfer the surveillance footage to a laptop and bring

Greg was stunned for a moment but soon understood Damien’s intention. “Sir, are you planning to…”
“Yes.” Damien smiled faintly. “Since Gwenn dares to rescue Raymond, she should be well aware of the consequences she now faces.”
Raymond was not only Damien’s enemy but also Beckham Tanner’s.
Since Gwenn used Beckham as a cover to rescue Raymond, she had essentially severed her connection to Beckham.
