Chapter 366
366 Perform a Ritual
“You were the one who called the ambulance, weren’t you, Logan?”
Austin asked, gazing at Logan. “Mason called you and claimed that
Denny was the one who crashed the woman’s car, didn’t he?
“I’m guessing he’s trying to create a voice record as evidence to prove
his innocence. Mason was trying to involve you in that incident, but
he didn’t anticipate you calling the ambulance.”
Austin lit a cigarette, his hands still trembling. “Logan, I don’t want to
paint Mason in such a negative light, but you have no idea what
desperate people are capable of. Being a Winston, you have nothing
to fear, unlike Rupert and me.”
Logan understood that this matter was more complicated than it
seemed. Not only did everyone choose to turn a blind eye to the truth,
but there was also no solid evidence or witnesses to prove Mason’s
wrongdoing.
Not to mention he had unwittingly become the witness who received
Mason’s call and heard of his innocent claim, safeguarding the Scott
family’s reputation.
Logan lit another cigarette, contemplating his relationship with
Mason, whom he had considered a friend up until now.
Mason was someone who sought enjoyment in life, always including
Logan in outings to nightclubs and street races.
Initially, Logan felt uneasy about these activities, but his grandfather disapproved of his hesitation.
Since Mason had a knack for lifting his
spirits, Logan began to think that perhaps Mason’s idea of fun wasn’t
so bad after all.
He genuinely viewed Mason as a friend, but did Mason feel the same?
Or was their friendship based solely on Logan being a Winston?
Feeling a shiver run down his spine, Logan sat in his car and smoked
two cigarettes in succession.
Austin smiled bitterly. “Logan, you certainly dodged a bullet. At least
you’re not having nightmares like us. Whenever I close my eyes now, I
find myself back on that mountain again. It’s torture.
“I wanted to return to that place to offer my apologies to Denny and that baby, but my family won’t allow
it. They said the area has been
sealed off.”
Austin’s expression turned pale. “Denny and that baby had every
reason to blame me.”
Logan gazed at him. “Do you truly regret it?”
“Of course!” Austin murmured, “Thank goodness you called that
ambulance, Logan. Otherwise, that starlet might have died, too.”
Logan tightened his grip on the steering wheel. “If the police ask you
about this incident, will you tell the truth?”
“Yes!” Austin’s eyes lit up. “Logan, I may be a coward and am too
afraid to stand up to tell the truth. But if anyone asks me, I won’t chicken out and lie. Someone has to
speak up for Denny.”
Logan pinched his cigarette. “I know someone who can help us.”
“Who?” Austin’s disbelief was palpable.

“Ronan Rathbone’s niece. Let’s go find her now.” Logan made a U-turn.
Seeing Austin’s perplexed expression, Logan recounted everything to
him.
Austin’s m*uth fell open. “That lady predicted something bad would happen, so you bailed?”
“Yes. Her words stuck with me like a weight on my mind,” Logan admitted, a glimmer of hope
emerging. “She seems to know her stuff.
I’m sure she can help us.”
Austin straightened up. “If it means redeeming myself, I’ll do whatever
it takes. Do you think she can perform a ritual for me?”
“We’ll find out when we see her.” Logan, once skeptical of superstition, now acknowledged its potential.
Meanwhile, Wynter was supervising the helpers in tidying her
mansion while Wolf wandered with a stone doll in his arms.
Wynter pondered how to contact the wealthy lady she had met the day before. Despite sending her
numerous WhatsApp messages, she
had received no responses from Marie.
Could Marie have forgotten about her overnight? Something didn’t feel right.
