Leaning against the wall, I neglected the pain I felt and warned them, “It’s too late! Do you really think I’ll let any one of you go after the things you have put me through?”
Slap! The middle-aged man landed a hard slap on Felix’s face. He then got worked up and yelled, “You’re such a fool! Do you know who the hell she is? Of all the people you could get your hands on, why the heck does it have to be her? Didn’t you know that you’re playing with fire!”
“C’mon, Anthony is just a businessman! He can’t do anything against us apart from throwing us behind bars for a few days! What are you afraid of?” Felix wiped the blood from his lips and replied scornfully.
“You idiot! Don’t you know Louis had acknowledged her as his goddaughter when they were in K City? And it just so happened that Louis is attending an event with Clinton today?”
“W-What? S-She’s Louis’ goddaughter?”
After giving it a thought for a few seconds, Felix made up his mind and cast a wrathful gaze at me. “Let’s kill her!”
“Oh, you must be out of your f*ckin’ mind! What should we do about the surveillance system of the hotel, huh? Do you really think you can get away unscathed if she turns out dead when you were the one who had brought her into the room? Please tell me you’re not such a simple-minded fool!”
The middle-aged man was infuriated and could barely catch his breath. He added, “Louis has always been known for being extremely protective over his close ones! Meanwhile, Anthony is a cunning man that’s capable of pulling the strings to send you to hell! Do you really think Mr. Clinton can keep you safe? And to think that you’re the bastard who would drag me down along with you!”
Felix looked at me with his eyes narrowed to a slit. “Sienna, I have never offended you! Why did you set me up? What are you coming after? Don’t you think you should tell me about the rationale behind your action since you have gotten the better of me?”
Leaning against the wall, I didn’t bother to conceal my bruises at all. Instead, I wanted to be as pathetic as possible. “I’m merely doing Stacey a favor while getting my revenge for the abduction that has occurred half a year ago. Coincidentally, I found out both of you are executing the orders from Zachary. I will never allow those from the Moore family to live a peaceful life! Therefore, I didn’t mind putting my life at stake to achieve my goal!”
“You’re crazy!” Felix was no longer the arrogant and proud man he was a few minutes ago.
Truth be told, I couldn’t figure out the reason he was released from the police station.
His influence due to his position as an auditor affiliated with AC Credit and the Ludwick family wouldn’t allow him to wield such great influences. Stacey wasn’t a fool either – she came to me for help because the one behind Felix wasn’t AC Credit or the Ludwick family; it was Clinton!
I should consider myself lucky because if it weren’t because of Stacey, I wouldn’t have figured out the relationship between Felix and Clinton, let alone Clinton and Cameron.
Previously, Anthony brought me to Pear Garden to get Macy out of jail. It turned out Cameron was the one who had brought Clinton over.
An instruction from Cameron was all it took to get Clinton to do her bidding.
Meanwhile, Felix, who was still being hopeful, hadn’t given up on the thought of killing me. He looked at the middle-aged man and instructed, “Kill her! As long as she’s dead, I’m sure we can get off the hook easily! Let’s get Mr. Moore to deal with the surveillance system for us. I’m sure he can go against Louis.”
Compared to Felix, the other man was relatively calm. All of a sudden, he ran and crashed into Felix in an attempt to knock him out.
Instinctively, Felix moved away and evaded the middle-aged man’s attack. Since the latter had a relatively chubby built, he passed out after he knocked on the wall. His head started bleeding as a result.
I couldn’t help but was surprised. Undeniably, he was a smart and shrewd man.
At the same time, Felix also realized what the middle-aged man was trying to do. Hence, he cursed, “Savini, you’re such an a**hole!”
A few minutes later, a bunch of police officers and bodyguards barged into the room and surrounded us.
Felix was pinned to the ground by the police officers while Anthony, Louis, and John showed up in the room side by side.
Anthony, who had a gloomy expression, rushed over and placed his blazer over me.
The last to enter the room was a terrified Clinton. He got infuriated the moment he caught a glimpse of Felix. A few seconds later, he launched a kick on his stomach and warned him, “How dare you challenge the authority of the police when you’re in J City! Who the heck do you think you are, scoundrel?”
It was a heavy blow on Felix. If the police officers hadn’t pinned Felix to the ground, he might be sent flying by the powerful kick.
In the meantime, I was rushed to the hospital immediately after they found me.
After Anthony left, John, who was had stayed by my side in the ward, held onto my hand and teased, “Do you really think you’re capable of defending yourself? Who gave you the audacity to lure them out on your own? Do you have a death wish?”
I replied with a faint smile and checked on my pair of hands that were wrapped in gauze. “It’s nothing serious, isn’t it? Shouldn’t you be congratulating me for a job well done?”
He scoffed, “If Uncle Louis and I weren’t around, how would you get yourself out of the nasty situation? And if it weren’t because of our influences, do you think Felix will be intimidated by the presence of Anthony, a businessman?”
I shrugged my shoulders nonchalantly and beamed. “Well, it turned out just fine, hasn’t it? If none of you were around, I wouldn’t have put myself at stake either.”
Pausing for a while, I asked, “What’s awaiting Felix?”
John told me the truth, “He will be sentenced to death or thrown behind bars for the rest of his life since he was the culprit behind a few innocent lives. Previously, Hector allowed Felix to get away after all the nasty things he has done because no one was around in J City. Since Uncle Louis has shown up and reported the things that Felix was involved in, he will never be set free anymore! As Hector was the one backing him up over the years, he, too, will have to bear the consequences of his actions. Honestly speaking, you did a great job because your action has allowed Uncle Louis to get his hands on the foundation of the Moore family.”
I wasn’t conscious of the exact relationship that was involved behind the scene, but I knew Cameron was a close acquaintance of Hector. They must have some sort of dodgy deals that could be exposed through a simple investigation. Perhaps Uncle Louis could get to the bottom of the Moore family’s scandals over the years. If the Moore family wished to protect the sake of the greater crowd, they would have to forsake Cameron and chase her away from the family.
John stared at me for a short while before asking, “So… are you happy about this?”
I shrugged my shoulders and said, “Hmm… Not really, because the best is yet to come! This is merely the beginning of a wild ride!”
Before heading over to meet Stacey, I found out Louis was in town to carry out his duty, but he would depart after he was done with the things he had scheduled beforehand. Initially, I asked Louis to join me for a simple meal, but he had a lot of things on his plate and didn’t have time for me.
Therefore, I headed over and meet Stacey in advance.
When she asked me to do her a favor, I thought of the options available. After a while, I figured that Stacey only wanted me to make use of Anthony’s influence to keep Felix behind bars for a few years, alive.
However, I had the exact opposite idea. Since I was involved in the operation, I figured he would definitely come after me once he regained freedom. Thus, I would never allow him to make it out alive, let alone getting his revenge.
I decided to give him a fatal blow through Louis’ aid after I had everything sorted out.
In spite of the flawless plan, I was traumatized because I was merely a step away from hell a few hours ago. After John departed, I fell asleep.
Halfway through my sleep, I opened my eyes and caught the silhouette of a certain someone by my side. It was Anthony – he stared at me with a poker face in the pitch-black ward that was illuminated by the streetlamps, making him extraordinarily unfathomable.
