Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 970
The glass shattered into pieces. Orange juice splattered everywhere, including her legs and her slippers."You …" Lewis looked at the orange liquid around his feet, despair written all over his face.He would have kept his mouth shut if he'd known that this would happen."What's wrong? What happened?" Wendy ran out of her room. When she saw the scene in the dining room, she was stunned. "What happened?"It was like Lewis had seen an angel. Between coughs, he spat out, "Water …"Wendy immediately understood him and ran to the kitchen to pour him a glass of water.He drank half of it in one gulp. It was only then that Lewis breathed easier.Larissa was still in shock."Is it true? That Marilyn is the traitor?"She couldn't believe her ears."But hasn't she worked at Blue Star Shipping for years? Have there been other secrets leaked to Moorewell Shipping?""Not before." After his violent choking, Lewis' voice was hoarse. "But I have proof."Larissa's heart skipped a beat. "Wha

"Oh, it's no hassle at all!" Wendy waved her hands around. "It's the least I could do."…Marilyn didn't know that Larissa had moved. Thus, Larissa had to go to her old apartment to wait for her before she came.So as to not arouse Marilyn's suspicions, Lewis drove Wendy's car. He waited in a corner.When Marilyn arrived, she called Larissa.Larissa waited around on the first floor. She acted as if she'd just walked out. She ran toward Marilyn hurriedly.Once Larissa was buckled up, Marilyn handed her a McRonald's bag. "It's still so early. You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? I passed a McRonald's and got you something."Larissa did not take it."Thanks, but I ate at home."Larissa didn't dare to eat something so random."What?" Marilyn was stunned. She urged, "Why don't you eat a little? It's still warm. What about some coffee?""It's okay." Larissa was determined. "I had a big breakfast. I'm pretty full.""Fine." Marilyn put the things into the backseat reluctantly.

Larissa had not even considered the possibility of Marilyn having a gun.She had Lewis had considered everything—or so they thought.They rarely ever saw a normal person holding a gun. They forgot that they were living in a country where guns were everywhere.To avoid provoking Marilyn, Larissa turned off her phone.However, Marilyn was still not satisfied.She rolled down the window and ordered, "Throw it out!"Larissa glanced at her phone, which she'd only begun using a month ago. She gritted her teeth and threw it out.Marilyn rolled the window back up.Through the gradually narrowing gap, Larissa could see that the cars behind them had run over her phone."Where are you taking me?" Larissa asked."Don't you worry about that." Marilyn was not intending to let her in on the secret. "You'll know when you get there.""I thought we were friends." Larissa stared at her calmly."Friends?" Marilyn sneered. "Do friends date their friends' crushes behind their back and pretend to

Her smile was ominous."Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Marilyn turned to look at her darkly. "If I'd known that, I wouldn't have done so many irreversible things. And you wouldn't have to …"She trailed off."Wouldn't have to what?" Larissa asked.But Marilyn refused to answer.She was acting really weird. Larissa began growing panicked."Calm down," she tried advising. "There's nothing you're doing that you can't take back. If you're willing to stop now, I can pretend that nothing ever happened today.""You can do that, but what about before? Can you pretend that I never told my father Blue Star's confidential information? Even if you can, what about Gary and Lewis?"Marilyn refused to let her go. "Since I'll never have Lewis, I'll destroy you all! I will destroy you so that you'll never be able to love anyone again!"The more she spoke, the crazier she got.It was like she'd prepared herself for the end. Larissa knew that she was too far gone to be saved. She had no choic

One glance was enough for her to understand what Allen wanted to do.She struggled violently and finally broke free of his clutches, landing on the floor with a thud.Bearing the pain, she scrambled up. But before she could run out of the house, Allen grabbed her waist from behind."Don't you dare run!" Allen dragged her toward the house inch by inch.Larissa was on the verge of despair. Suddenly, the sounds of a piano being played came from downstairs.She realized quickly that there was someone else in the house. It could only be Freddy.As if it was her last shred of hope, she screamed, "Freddy! Help me!"Allen tried to gag her, but she bit his fingers so hard they bled.The sharp taste of iron infiltrated her mouth. She didn't care. She placed all of her hopes on Freddy."Freddy! I'm in the attic! Freddy, call the cops!"The piano music stopped.Freddy had obviously heard her screams for help.But at the same time, Allen had dragged her to the middle of the attic. The s

She used to think that he was a gentle superior. He was strict at work, but on the inside, he seemed caring.He was gentle and patient with Freddy. He would never scold him harshly.At once, Larissa remembered Freddy's odd mannerisms, as well as the time he ran away from home.She trembled.Allen had always been abusing him.What a beast!Their footsteps gradually faded away. Allen's roars and Freddy's sobs soon died down.Allen opened a door. She heard someone's voice.However, they were too far away for her to hear what they were saying.Not long after, the voices grew in volume."Larissa! Larissa!"Larissa could hear those words clearly.It was Lewis! He was here to save her!Larissa was overjoyed. She thumped the floor with all her might to draw their attention."I'm here, Lewis! In the attic on the third floor! Save me!"His harried footsteps drew closer. They finally stopped beneath the attic."Who's in there?" a stranger asked in Aldovian.Allen answered in a pa

Allen lunged toward them, wanting to grab the keys, but the officer held him back.The officer put a hand on the pistol around his waist and threatened him. "Don't move!"Allen eyed the pistol and paused.With practiced motions, the officer cuffed his hands behind his back.At lightning speed, Lewis opened the door to the attic and squirmed in.The faint light illuminated a small patch of the floor.Lewis' eyes weren't used to the sudden change of light. He called out in the darkness, "Larissa?"He was standing in a bright spot. Larissa saw him very easily."I'm here, Lewis!"With his senses, he fumbled around and went to her side.When he saw her face, he hugged her at once."Larissa!""Lewis!" Larissa's tears flowed down again.The officer's voice rang out. "Have you found her?"Lewis answered, "Yes, she's here!"The police officer looked at Allen grimly. "What do you have to say?"Allen insisted, "I was just arguing with my wife. What's that got to do with you?""I

He did not force any more questions on Allen. He asked the cop, "Officer, can you get someone over to cut the chain off my cousin?"The officer nodded. "Of course."He took out a walkie-talkie and asked the headquarters for backup."I shall take him away," he said."Good." Lewis nodded. "I'll stay here and wait for the other officers to arrive.""What right do you have to take me away? This is my home! You can't take me away!" Allen struggled violently, but he was subdued by the officer after a while."If you don't want to be shot, you'll have to cooperate." The officer was also about to explode with anger."Wait!" Larissa yelled.The people downstairs looked up."Freddy!" Larissa couldn't go down, so she had to talk to thin air. "That boy! Officer, please take him to the station with you! I suspect that he's been abused by his father all along. On top of that, please check him for signs of abuse!"When the officer heard this, his face grew colder."Kid." He waved at Freddy.
