CHAPTER 376
“They got the leader of the thugs that went outside to deal with them,” the man behind the camera told the one next to him. “Go tell the boss before they get in and send out more men.”The younger man nodded, turned, and left.As soon as he was gone, the man zoomed the footage to focus on Tedmond’s face.“This one looks like the leader of the little gang,” he murmured. “But how are we sure they’re really drug dealers?”At that moment, Marek turned his head toward the camera. One look at his face made the man flinch.Then, without warning, a knife flew toward the camera and lodged in it. The man froze in terror, especially when the same thing happened to every camera at the gate.He immediately jumped to his feet and bolted out of the room to make the report himself.The moment he stepped into the corridor, he sprinted. The younger man, spotting him running, assumed he was about to be scolded for being slow and took off running too.“The boss’s room is just ahead!” the younger man pant
CHAPTER 375
The moment the knife pressed against the scarred man’s neck, Tedmond shot upright from his spot. He had no idea what Marek’s temperament was like and no way of knowing if Marek was about to kill the man on the spot.Given Marek’s appearance and the fact that the knife in his hand was one he had crafted himself, Tedmond could tell that if Marek wanted to get rid of the man, he could do it without batting an eye. But Tedmond wasn’t ready for bloodshed.He had only come here to retrieve his phone, and the others were supposed to be innocent.Still… would they really count as innocent after just trying to kill them?At that moment, the others near the scarred man held their breath in shock. Their eyes darted between Marek’s steady hand and the thin line of red that was beginning to bead against the man’s skin.Two of them froze like statues, unsure whether to move forward or back. The tallest one clenched his jaw so tightly the sound was audible. Another man, younger and more reckless, to
CHAPTER 374
Back at the gate, Tedmond’s gaze swept over the area, analyzing every detail. The way the place looked made him wary. If the men inside didn’t recognize them, they might decide to shoot first and ask questions later.The location was so remote that if they were killed, no one would hear about it. But Tedmond knew that wouldn’t happen, not to him. Thomas would never allow it.“It’s dangerous to stand here,” Hino whispered, his voice just loud enough for all of them to hear. “We can’t predict their next move.”He turned to Marek. “What are you planning?”Marek glanced at him and shook his head. “Don’t ask me that. Be quiet.”Hino frowned, surprised at being dismissed so bluntly, but he didn’t argue. Instead, he stepped to Tedmond’s side.Neil noticed the movement and looked at Hino in confusion. Before he could speak, a sharp whoosh split the air.Darts.They came flying at them in a sudden burst, cutting through the air like angry wasps.Marek reacted instantly, lunging forward, shovin
CHAPTER 373
“We’re here already,” Hino said, pulling the car to a halt as he glanced back at Tedmond.Neil, who sat beside him, leaned toward the window. The sound of gravel crunching under the tires faded, replaced by the distant hum of cicadas. His brows drew together as his eyes adjusted to the view outside.“This… is it?” he muttered.Tedmond looked out the window, catching Neil’s expression. His brows furrowed. Since they were tracking his phone, he’d been sure they were heading in the right direction. That was why he had spent most of the drive working on his tablet—getting a bit of light work done so he wouldn’t have to deal with it once he got home.The hour-long drive had finally brought them here, and now Tedmond raised his head fully to take in the area.It wasn’t at all what he had pictured.He’d expected a rundown, graffiti-stained building tucked away in some dark alley—broken windows, peeling paint, the stench of oil and sweat hanging in the air.Instead, in the middle of a wide st
CHAPTER 372
Outside the Griffin mansion, just three blocks away, Lisa held onto the seal, glancing back and forth as she ran. Her phone was in her other hand as she constantly checked to see if her ride was close.Since the Griffin family had listened to the audio, she was sure they wouldn’t let her off, and she would have been hit again, just like Otis had tried to do previously.And this time, she was sure Max wouldn’t help her either. He would just make sure she was beaten in a way that wouldn’t affect the baby.Now, she was certain the only thing keeping her alive was the baby, and she was kind of glad she hadn’t killed it yet.If I had killed it, I would have been dead, she thought.At that moment, she glanced back at her phone to see that the cab was close. Finally, she stopped running and stood, waiting for the ride to arrive.Soon, a black cab pulled up in front of her, and she immediately slid into the back seat, the door shutting with a solid click.She held the Griffin Corporation seal
CHAPTER 371
“Did she just say she’s getting the divorce papers ready?” Evelyn asked, her brows furrowing in confusion. “This doesn’t sound like a trick anymore, it sounds real.”Even Maxine nodded in agreement with her mother’s statement. She was certain Lisa wasn’t lying or trying to use Tedmond this time; she was serious. Lisa had been looking for a way to leave the family but hadn’t found one, and now she wanted to use Tedmond as her escape.Maxine wasn’t going to let that happen.“You heard right,” Tina replied. “She did mention divorce papers.”“Does that mean she was serious about divorcing Max and leaving with Tedmond without giving Otis his assets back?” Gerald asked, wanting to be sure he’d heard correctly.“Yes,” Frank responded with a nod. “She only brought that up because Tedmond has Otis’s assets.”Otis slammed his hand on the desk, the sharp sound cutting through the chatter.“That’s enough,” he said, his brows twitching with anger. “We still have a lot to listen to, and I’m not goi
