"I’ve sent you his number, rember to save it." I imdiately sent Damon’s number to Ivy
Ivy was thrilled. "Aweso! Thanks!"
If she could help out with Damon, I should be the one thanking her
Just then, so of Ivy’s friends found her, so she said goodbye and left
I stood alone on the street for a while, reluctant to go back and continue drinking. So I shot a ssage to Luna and the gang in our group chat, then called Jas to pick up.
"Miss, are you alone?" As I was waiting for Jas, a few young lads sward over, grinning and asking questions.
I shot them a glance and imdiately took a few steps back.
Then Lewis showed up, rubbing his bald head and showing his hypocritical smile, "You’re Ms. Brooks, right? Let introduce myself. I’m Lewis."
Lewis obviously ca for , but I couldn’t understand why. The last ti his n hit my car, the police didn’t have enough evidence to nab him. Even though he was a small-ti punk, he was pretty good at dodging jail ti.
Damon had pulled so strings to get those two punks to snitch on Lewis, but because his thods were unorthodox the evidence handed to the police may not hold water and could even backfire.
"Lewis, what do you want with ?" I asked coolly. We were on a busy street with surveillance caras everywhere. He couldn’t possibly do anything to in broad daylight.
"I’m flattered that Ms. Brooks would recognize a nobody like " Lewis grinned, "Since fate brought us together, why don’t we grab a coffee? I’d like to get, to know you"
I frowned, and my gaze darted towards the entrance of Cielo Nocturno. If Luna and the others ca out looking for right now, I might be able to ditch him.
But I had already sent a ssage saying I was heading ho, so they wouldn’t co looking for
"Lewis, if you have sothing to say, spit it out. My friend’s on her way to pick up. As for the coffee, let’s take a rain check. I’ll treat you next ti." I said with a smile.
"It has to be today. I know a place that serves killer coffee. It’d be a waste not to go. Ms. Brooks, my cars over there, shall we?" Lewis pointed to a car parked by the curb
If I refused, he might resort to violence to get in the car. He was a notorious scumbag, not giving a damn about what people thought about him.
"Alright, let’s grab that coffee"I scanned the area. With so many caras around, if I disappeared, the cops would be able to find easily. Plus, Jas would be here soon. If she couldn’t find and couldn’t reach , she would know that sothing was up.
Right now, not doing as Lewis said might only add fuel to the fire.
Once in the car. Lewis made a call while sitting next to , "We’ve got her. Don’t worry I’ll handle it just fine."
I faintly heard a woman’s voice on the other end.
"Lewis, we don’t really cross paths. Why are you inviting for coffee? Can you tell who you’re working for?" I asked.
"Ms. Brooks, I know who your father is. I don’t want to cross him. But I had no choice; doing shady stuff for others is my job." Lewis chuckled, showing off his disgusting yellow teeth.
I kept my cool. "So the car accident last ti was also part of your job, right?"
Lewis was a bold one. He laughed, "Yes, but everyone’s got a backer. I’ve got mine now, so I’m not scared."
His frankness about his cris made uneasy
Crooks usually reveal secrets like this only when they plan to eliminate witnesses.
He was not planning to kill , was he? I started to get nervous
After a while, the car stopped at the foot of a hill.
I was led up a hill by Lewis’s n. There was an abandoned villa on top. Under the lights on both sides of the road, I could see the crumbling walls of the villa
Suddenly, I rembered Steve. Wasn’t he also kidnapped by Lewis? He was found in an abandoned villa. Was this the sa place?
Before I could figure it out, I was taken into the villa. A cloth was pressed over my mouth and nose, and I passed out quickly.
"You did well this ti, or I wouldn’t have paid you"
I regained a bit of consciousness in my daze and heard Ariel’s voice.
Her voice was sotis near, sotis far, "Rember to inform Jones"
"Ms. Ariel, I must remind you that Eliana’s father is a governnt official. If anything happens to her, I’d be in deep shit. Can you protect ?" Lewis asked. "Duh, have you forgotten who I am? Didn’t cover for you when you ssed with Joshua and Steve and when you hit Eliana’s car? Don’t worry. Once I’m done with her, I’ll send you abroad" Ariel answered casually, as if these were just trivial matters.
My eyelids felt heavy, I couldn’t open them, but I heard everything. All the things that happened before were Ariel’s acts of revenge
She was ruthless. She showed no rcy to Joshua, Steve, or .
Damon was the one who caused her misery. Why didn’t she go after him?
"Eliana, I won’t let Damon co back to you. He’s mine." Ariel’s voice suddenly seed closer, as if she were right next to .
"Jones likes you too, right? There will be a good show when he cos."
I didn’t know what Ariel was talking about. All I could feel was soone covering my mouth and pouring water into it.
Then Ariel told Lewis, "If word gets out, you know what to do. If I get implicated in any way you won’t get a di, and you’ll go to jail. Got it?"
Lewis was very obedient in front of Ariel, "Got it, I know what to do?
As they chatted, I felt a peculiar warmth in my belly. I imdiately guessed what they had just made drink.
Ariel had co up with such a disgusting plot to make Damon give up on for good. It was revolting!
Ariel must be bailed already, leaving only Lewis and his crew here. Soone caressed my face, laughing with a crude grin, "Boss, can we have a taste of her first?"
"Shut your trap! Do you seriously think we can ss with her old man? If you so much as touch her, you’re toast, moron! Once this is all over, the dough you’re getting from Ms. Ariel will be more than enough for you to live it up abroad!" Lewis snapped angrily
It seed that Ariel had paid them a fortune, enough to risk hurting .
