Chapter 131
While Clinton and the men were preparing to rescue Aiden, the van Aiden was seated, moving slowly down the path. The van was accompanied with armed military and police vehicles preceding and tailing it,The vehicles moved a little slowly, Aiden sat inside the van with lowered head, a shadow of himself,No one would believe it was the unruly Aiden Cross, he was disheveled. His hair was all scattered, and he looked rather lean.He hadn't been in prison for a month, yet he was reduced to such a terrible state, despite his connection, the prison look wasn't a good one on Aiden.Running a hand through his hair as he heaved a deep breath, Aiden's eyes closed briefly as Clinton's words echoed in his head. Gritting his teeth, he remembered how Clinton had urged him to abandon everything, but he had refused believing he could handle it,It turned out, he couldn't handle it as his obstinacy had cost him terribly, if he had listened to Clinton and escaped through the backdoor with him, he was su

Still in the van,Aiden rested his head on the seat with his eyes closed. He was not sure if he was to be happy or not,“Are you such a coward?!" he muttered to himself, wondering how whoever it was that wanted to save him had given up,What the heck was that? How could the person get scared and abandon their plans?Or was this just a plot to make him believe someone was coming to save him, and then, in the end, it was going to go all the same?“Damn it!” Aiden grumbled, furiously his nails,Heaving a sigh, he ran his hands through his hair, as he sighed again, accepting his fate, he had been excited for nothing, with that realisation, he couldn't help but curse at the police officers,“Bloody bastards!" he spoke through gritted teeth.Why the hell were they playing with his mind? Just as Aiden thought about giving up, a loud popping sound suddenly echoed throughout the whole place, shaking the car and making the driver, who was already at high speed, lose control,After a while, he w
Chapter 133
Aiden's heart hammered against his chest as the car drove at a very high speed, though he could tell there was no way the officers were going to come after them, the person driving the car didn't seem to be thinking about this and was just driving at a crazy speed,Well, this didn't matter, he had finally escaped, he was going to finalize his plans.He made a mental note not to be as greedy as he was the last time, or else he was sure whoever had saved him wouldn't be willing to take such a risk again,Even the law was not going to be lenient with him. So he was thinking too far talking about the person who had just saved him.Aiden's eyes nearly popped out as he came to a sinking realization,“Damn it!" he mumbled beneath his breath, chewing on his lips. He didn't think about the consequences of following them as he was concerned about escaping, his fists turned ashen as he heaved; knowing he hadn't been rescued out of benevolence,He knew whoever had saved him, needed him for someth

While Aiden had successfully made his escape, an oblivious Andrew was in his office when someone rushed in, panting heavily with his face mapped in sweat,"Sir, we have a problem!" he exclaimed,"What problem?" Andrew snapped his head up to gape at the man who had rushed in. Still panting heavily, the fellow bent over, trying to catch his breath as he revealed, "Sir, the prisoner escaped," he reported, Despite the air conditioner and cold room, the fellow was still dabbed in sweat, fanning himself with his hand.As Andrew processed the news, he narrowed his eyes at Trent, a deep frown etched on his face as he asked loudly,"What prisoner?" Gazing intently at the man, he quirked his brow at him, awaiting a response. There were many prisoners awaiting trial, so how was he supposed to know which of them had escaped? A part of him hoped to God that Trent wasn't referring to Richard.Besides, the weight of Dalton City had fallen on him, though the Parker family had promised to help, th

Expelling a deep breath as he closed and opened his eyes, Andrew waved off his hands, dismissing Trent without looking at him,"You may leave," Trent immediately nodded his head, his head bobbing as he hurriedly left Andrew's office, he couldn't dare waste another minute,Andrew was like a ticking time bomb, a little erratic. Trent was sure that if he wasted another moment or displeased Andrew, he would fire him.Oblivious to the thought that raced through Trent's mind while he raced out of his office, Andrew sighed for the umpteenth time; he didn't know what to do anymore nor what to tell the masses. What was he to tell them?He had to think of a way to convince them that he would look into the matter and make sure Aiden was caught,Still, deep in thought, Andrew's eyes suddenly glistened as a thought flashed through his mind, and he flew off the couch, walking towards the scattered files as he searched for his phone, whose screen was already broken.Sighing, with a slow smile appea

Vivienne was still basking in the euphoria of the massage, expelling breaths at intervals and sighing with pleasure. The room was filled with pleasant silence aside from Vivienne's occasional sigh, it felt like Richard had been at it for hours, but in reality, it had only been a mere fifteen minutes,Richard's voice finally broke the silence, as he asked Vivienne,"Do you think the method you've taken to find the criminal who had just escaped is right?" still massaging her shoulders, he asked,"W-wha-?" Vivienne froze, jolting out of the immense relaxation she was in,She didn't know what technique Richard was using on her shoulders, but she could feel the tension and fatigue that had initially engulfed her, reducing."Answer me, Vivienne," Richard called softly, his voice pulling Vivienne out of her pleasing thoughts,Furrowing her brows, Vivienne absently nodded as she responded,"Yes, that's the most proper thing to do. After all, the officers who were there said they saw the car
Chapter 137
Considering Vivienne was a smart one, it didn't take long for the bulb to go off in her head, she suddenly went still, while her countenance immediately brightened,She finally figured out what Richard was driving at, and why he had indirectly asked all of those questions. Leaping to her feet, with widened eyes as she waved her hands, she turned to look at Richard,"I need to leave; I can't let Aiden escape!"Richard had been instrumental in giving her another lead, and she berated herself for not thinking about it in the first place. Smiling softly, she hurried over to Richard, lowered her head to his,"Thank you very much," and instantly placed a kiss on his cheeks before she ran out with flushed cheeks.Smiling softly to himself, Richard lifted his palm to graze at the lingering sensation, as he watched Vivienne run out of his room. Sighing a little, he relaxed onto his bed as he gazed at the television, a part of him wondering if Vivienne would be successful in catching Aiden and

Inside the retreating vehicle, Aiden kept turning around, gaping at the police car giving them a hot chase,Earlier on, Clinton had unexpectedly returned with food and water, and while Aiden had been eating, he rambled on to Clinton about how much he hated Richard, and how it was his meddlesome self that had caught him,There and then, Clinton squeezed his eyes shut and became on edge, urging Aiden to hurry up with his food. Not too long after, while Aiden was drinking water, they heard the arrival of the cars and immediately fled through the back door.Now, they were in a hot chase with the police who didn't seem to be going easy on them,"What are we going to do?" Aiden turned to Clinton whose eyes were fixated on the road."At best, we escape together and clean up the traces, and at worst, I stop the car and kick you out, then let them arrest you again while I flee," Clinton rolled his eyes as he answered Aiden's question"But...." Aiden gulped, swallowing the lump in his throat.

"Is everything ready?" Andrew glanced at his secretary as he asked, his eyes flashing with a dangerous glint,"Yes sir," she nodded hurriedly, scared of the expression on Andrew's face,After all, it had been a while since she had seen Andrew like this, anytime he looked like this, nothing good ever happened."Let's go," Andrew broke the silence standing up from the sofa.He had been in the office for a while now and his butt hurt from sitting,He had been finalizing his speech in his head. Knowing the consequences of failure, he had no other choice but to slack off.He took another glance at his office and smirked; his phone and the computer, which had been smashed, were replaced.It was as though nothing had happened; the files had also been cleared up."Sir, where's your speech? I'll give it to the proofreader to read and correct before we get to the venue," Mia rushed forward, realizing Andrew didn't tell her a thing about his speech,"Since when do I need a proofreader to corre
Chapter 140
Andrew's press conference was being televised, and while it was ongoing, Richard sat in his cell watching, a smirk on his face,"I didn't expect you to master the art of pushing blame and avoiding responsibility, Andrew," Richard chuckled, his eyes fixated on the TV.Naturally, he was not moved by Andrew's words, not when he could faintly tell what he was going to say,Richard knew right from the start that Andrew was going to look for a way to spoil his image, he was not just expecting him to do it this way.Things were getting increasingly interesting, at least, the effect Andrew wanted had been achieved.Back at the location, Andrew had a smile on his face. He could see the frowns on the faces of the crowd. This meant his plan was working rather slowly,"I don't mind taking the blame for the past Mayor's misdeed; after all, there's nothing I can say that can wash his lofty images off your minds," Andrew resumed his speech, his expression turning solemn,"Things have progressed to t
