âWhich room was it? Was it at Maple Hotel? Wendy asked anxiously.
Vick chuckled. âNo, itâs not. The room in Maple Hotel was afterward, Initially, you were placed in a basement that Edmund rented temporarily.
âThat woman named Larissa, your friend offered herself in exchange for you. She forced Edmund to have you sent to the Maple Hotelâ
âLarissa in exchange for me?â
Wendy was stunned.
Edmund had never mentioned this to her, and neither did Larissa.
However, the way Vick spoke about it didnât seem like he was making it up.
âEdmundâs ultimate goal was to capture Larissa and bring her back to Caldor. He employed me and my underlings to keep an eye on her and ensure that she couldnât escape.
âSince he couldnât capture Larissa, he took you as leverage instead. He threatened Larissa so that she would meet him.â
The fact that Edmund drugged her was true, but Werdy had no idea what happened afterward.
When she woke up, she and Larissa were lying safely in Maple Hotel
This led Wendy to believe that Edmund had targeted her from the beginning.
Wendyâs heart sank, She tightened her grip on the door handle.
âAnd then?â
âThen? Then Larissa went to meet Edmund, of course! Sheâs quite naive. Edmund told her to go alone, and she really went alone without
anyone else.â
Noticing Kevanâs cold gaze. Vick quickly corrected himsell. âI meant to say that sheâs a brave and loyal woman. She was willing to sacrifice her salely for a friend. She is truly a role model for all of us!â
Kevan still appeared dissatisfied.â
Get to the pointâ
Vick hurriedly returned to the main topic. âEdmund didnât send Larissa to the basement where you were kept. Instead, he had her go to a
motel near the airport.
âAfter Larissa was captured, she persuaded my men to turn against Edmund. She could have escaped under their protection at that time. but she put in off for your sake. This was because Edmund had ordered his subordinates to let you go after he and Larissa arrived at the
airport.
âWhen they were there, Larissa was nearly put on a plane by Edmund. Fortunately, Mr. Rogers arrived in time to save Larissa Otherwise, she would have suffered a disastrous late,â
Wendy took a while to process this barrage of information.
She finally spoke, âWhereâs the evidence? How do I know if you are not colluding with them to fabricate a story to deceive me?
âI dare not say that I know the full extent of Mr. Rogers power and influence, but Iâm aware of what he is capable of
âWe have plenty of evidence!â Vick remained unilazed.
He took out a stack of papers from a black suitcase on the bed,
âThis is the contract Edmund signed with me.â
Wendy sneered. âAlthough you are from a gang, your agreements seem quite formal.â
She took the contract and quickly skimmed through II.
1/2
Wendy was familiar with Edmundâs signature. Whenever they went out together. Edmund would sign on the receipts to pay the bill.
His signature on the receipt was exactly the same as the one on this contract
Wendyâs confidence started to waver, but she maintained a tough attitude.
âForging a signature wouldnât be too difficult for Mr. Rogers to accomplish, right?â
âAnd thereâs this! Vick produced another document.
It was a list of call records from a communications company.
A number that she recognized had appeared several times on it.
Vick seemed very open and straightforward.
âI can let you have a look at my phone! There is absolutely no forgery! These are my bank records.
âLook here, on the night of February 3rd, Edmund gave me a deposit of lilty thousand dollars. You can check this account, it belongs to Edmund himself, If you still donât believe me
Vick dialed a number and spoke impatiently to the person on the other end. âHave you brought them here? Why are you so slow? Did you crawl over here?â
âWe are on the way. Mr. Malostov! We will be here in half a minute!â The person on the other end sounded fearful.
After a few minutes, a voice rang out from the phone, âWe have arrived, Mr. Malostov! We are at the door, please open up!â
As the caller hung up, the doorbell to the room rang
Kevan and Vick turned to Wendy.
Kevan said. âOpen the door, we have more evidence for you.â
