Chapter 862
Sweet Subterfuge
Edmund seemed to be convinced by Larissa. His stunned expression turned dark pretty quickly. The sound of knocking sounded at this time. The man in the black suit entered the room He was still stoneâlaced. He did not look at Larissa at all for fear that Edmund might notice something.
âMr. Rogers, itâs time. We have to go,â he said in a low voice to Edmund.
Edmund nodded. âOkay.â He pulled Larissa up from the bed.
Because her ankles were tied by the ropes, Larissa nearly slammed against the wall when her feet touched the floor. Edmund helped steady her and frowned at the ropes on her ankles.
Previously, he only wanted to stop Larissa from escaping, so he got the guys to lie layers of ropes around her legs. He did not think it would cause trouble now for him. After some hesitation, he called the man in a black suit to come over. âFree her legs.â Then, he warned Larissa. âIf you dare to try something, Wendy-â
âChill. I wonât escape.â Larissa mocked him. Tm more trustworthy compared to you.â
Edmund snorted coldly. âYouâd better hope so.â
The man asked Edmund, âMr. Rogers, should we free her hands too? Because what if people see and call the police Edmund was silent for a bit then he said, âGo ahead. She canât run anyway.â
The men in black suits had tied deadened knots when theyâd tied Larissa up. So, only a knife could help cut Larissa free.
Larissa glanced at the pocket knife the man was using, and an idea struck her. She secretly gave the man a look, and the man understood what she wanted. After cutting Larissa free, he secretly slipped the pocket knife into Larissaâs down jacket pocket while Edmund was not looking.
âDone.â the man in the black suit reported emotionlessly to Edmund, who wrapped an arm around Larissa.
Edmund pretended to be very affectionate with Larissa. âDo not scream or shout for help after going out. Otherwise-â
âOtherwise youâll kill Wendy and her unborn child that she had with you.â Larissa coldly finished his sentence. âThatâs enough, stop talking. Every time you say it, it just tells everyone what a fucking monster you are.â
Edmundâs expression frame for a moment before he snarled threateningly at her, âShut up, bitch!â
The motel did not have soundproofing, When walking in the corridor, one could clearly hear the heavy metal music coming from a nearby door as well as moaning.
To prevent people from paying attention to them, Edmund and Larissa left first and the blackâsulted men followed after.
Some sloppy thugs passed by and whistled at Larissa openly, making all kinds of disgusting gestures.
They even asked Edmund, âCan we do a threesome?â
Edmundâs face was dark. He pressed his lips together and ignored these people.
His attitude was treated as a provocation by the thugs. They sumounded Edmund and Larissa, and one of them purposely knocked into Edmund.
Edmund was knocked back hard, and he let go of Larissa as a result.
âWho do you think you are, motherfucker? The thugs trapped Edmund in a comer. âDo you know whose land youâre on? Canât be fucked with us? Who gave you the guts to be a dick?â
Edmund was not a tall person, and so he looked even shorter and smaller when stuck with these tall Aldovians. He did not dare to start things with the thugs as he kept glancing back to see if the blackâ
sulled men had followed.
He smiled at the same time as he begged for mercy. âSorry, sorry. I didnât mean to,â
Larissa watched coldly. She was somewhat amused by Edmundâs dumb cowardice. What a typical poser he was, and useless too. It were not for the fact that Wendy was in Edmundâs hands, she would not even need to bribe the blackâsuited people. All she needed to do was let these thugs take care of Edmund
