chapter 87

Eric said, "So, it proves that Lucy is innocent."Lucy looked at him, dumbfounded.Why aren't you saying anything?We were clearly together!He stepped in front of Mrs. Bailey and his dark and expressionless gaze cast a threatening shadow upon her. "So how are you planning to pay back for the slap?"She stuttered. "W-what do you mean? I-I-""I mean that it's your turn now."She paled.Mr. Bailey indignantly said, "What do you mean? You will slap my wife!?"Mrs. Bailey burst into tears. "I was just worried about my daughter…She should understand…""You slapped her and you want her to understand?" He tilted his head. "I see…"Eric's hands itched to grab an ax and cut her arm off that dared touch Lucy. And he would definitely do that. She was going to pay with her blood for sure.But not now.The officer interrupted. "Mr. Willson. We cannot allow anybody to get violent here. For now, we will take these four thugs into our custody and question them again as witnesses. Miss Hale, if I need your assistance, I will contact you."Eri  threateningly shot a glare at the officer. "You will not contact Lucy. Whatever it is, you will go through me."The officer gulped and sweated. "Y-yes Mr. Willson. As you say." He was too afraid to speak anything against him.The situation was still over Lucy's head. The men she never met in her life were giving statements for her. Why?The officer said, "You four come with me."The four thugs gulped.Will he put us in jail after we give our statements? Ah, bye bye our freedom…Jail is better than the Boss gauging our eyes out.After the whole fiasco got over, Eric said to Lucy, "Wait for me. I will be back in a while."---At Chang Fang's base, he stood in attention as Wei stepped in. "Boss!"His voice turned cold and his gaze turned murderous. "Where are they?"
