chapter 86

Mrs. Bailey gritted her teeth. "Y-yeah so what!? She is the culprit! Of course, I will hit her!" She sobbed."And if she is not?" Eric calmly asked.Mr. Bailey frowned. "What?""If she is not the culprit, what will you do?""There is no doubt about that!"The four thugs cursed her.What an idiot! Talking that way to the Mafia King...you are dead!Eric's commanding presence forced Mrs. Bailey to cower back. "Last time. Don't raise your voice at me."They jolted in shock.The officer-in-charge said, "CEO Willson, may I know how you are here?"Eric stared at Lucy. "I will always be there wherever she is."Everybody - "..."They violently coughed.Such dog food!Lucy blushed hard. "B-Boss what are you saying…?" She wanted to hide in a hole, away from those piercing gazes.The officer coughed. "We are investigating Miss Laura Bailey's disappearance and according to the recent bullying incident, we are suspecting Lucy Hale."Eric narrowed his eyes.It was upon his orders that his men kidnapped and killed her, but he didn't imagine that the blame would fall on Lucy.He felt disappointed in himself.I should have been more careful.Eric was about to say that Lucy was with him that day, cooking together.But before that, the officer spoke, "But these goons here say that she was with them."The thugs nodded hard. "Yes!"B-Boss! We did as you told!We helped your woman, Boss! Praise us!On the contrary, Eric wasn't too happy. He wanted to be the witness to save her.Instead, these thugs did that. Now if he said that she was with him, it would only cause Lucy more trouble.He looked down at them and pursed his lips.You took away my spotlight.Why doesn't Boss look happy? What did we do wrong? They sobbed.Lucy said in exasperation, "But I really don't know-"The thugs banged their heads on the ground before she could speak. "Goddess! We offer you our loyalty!"Nobody is letting me speak!"Please stop banging your heads! Do you want to die?""For you, we will be glad to give up our life!""..."
