Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 1313

Willy had been dealing with the aftermath the following days only to be shocked by the findings the deeper he dug.

He pounded his head as he read the information sent to his office, troubled. "It seems that things are more complicated than we imagine. Matthew Cruise is quite a trouble!"

Sitting across him, Lexx nodded as he stirred his cup of coffee.

"I'm afraid many people will get involved if we drag one out! Matthew's identity is a touchy one. He isn't just a businessman but is also involved in politics, including his indirect relationship with a commissioner. I think this is also one of the reasons his backer chose him; wide connection and greed. People like him are easy to manipulate and control. After all, if something does happen to him, many higher- ups would be more or less affected. So they'll imperceptibly cover him unless he crosses the line!"

After putting his coffee down, he took a glance at Willy before speaking gravely.

"Willy, we'll be riddled with troubles if we decide to lay our hands on him! We'll be targeted from all directions. The interest involved isn't too big of a deal; what's problematic are... favors!"

If someone really spoke up for him, should they consider his status?

"Someone will eventually deal with Cruise when he dabbles in these kinds of things, and I'm sure it won't be a good ending. If Lauren's safety hadn't been involved, I wouldn't even bother myself with this! But his backer..."

Willy tapped his finger, frowning subconsciously. "He's a formidable guy!"

They couldn't get anything on him at all! Worse, men like him were highly likely dangerous! That guy would be a ticking time bomb if he let him be. So, he couldn't turn a blind eye to this no matter how troubling it was!"

"You can say that again! Matthew and Nora are more likely sellers and buyers. The more stressed out someone is, the likelier they'd dabble with these things. And celebrities like Nora, who earns quick money, naturally became his first choice! Also, I suspect he's also using her connections to expand his trades. C- listers like her falter the easiest and are the easiest to manipulate! I believe he made sure Lauren would forever keep her mouth shut is unlikely because she walked in on them having an affair, but that he mistakenly thought she saw their trade or heard some inside story! These guys are good at using these foul means to manipulate women. One, to pleasure themselves, another, to gain various benefits from it. It's no wonder they don't care who they're dealing with... After all, these are magical beans that they can use to manipulate people! And it's no doubt it'd basically be the end of them the moment they dabble with it. So money, interests, family, morality, and whatnot mean nothing in the face of it..."

Lexx couldn't help sighing as he analyzed.

"You're right. That's why we have to find a way to resolve this. Best if we can settle it without alarming the backer, dial it down! As for what happens after, someone will eventually take care of it for us!"

The most important thing was to resolve the crisis in front of them. As for the latter, one trigger and things would naturally fall in line. With how the government was cracking down on such crimes, they'd eventually get caught!

As their eyes met, they said in unison, "And put them behind bars!"

Willy closed his hand into a fist; the two were on the same page.

"True that. He has to go in lawfully, and he cannot leave in the short run. That way, he won't be able to harm Lauren again nor alert the others! But what felony can we use that will keep us clean and not cause them to suspect? Even better if someone will keep an eye on him for us. He absolutely cannot leave!"

"I do have one in mind!"

With that, Lexx wrote a few words on the table with his finger. 'Abroad, celebrity, badger game.'

His words reminded him of the celebrity scandal that caused a sensation some time ago. It was indeed a good inspiration. Being in a foreign land had always been the best way to tie someone down genuinely!

"Yeah, that's a good idea! Time to play a serious game of chess. Find a lawyer who's familiar with foreign law. Use loopholes to have him hide abroad for a couple of years; best if he can live the rest of his life in foreign lands! Let's hope our government can eradicate this cancer!"

By then, they'd just have to give it a push in the shadows!

That way, they'd be able to avoid danger and get rid of the crisis in front of them. Following that, the two discussed the details and only then was Willy more at ease.

"That reminds me; what's the situation with Cloud? And the kidnappers; have they been caught?" "They've done a psychiatric evaluation with her; she's already been sent to a psychiatric institution! As for the kidnappers, they were captured in a mountain in Laramie City! They're a couple of outlaws with murder cases on them; that was why they dared to take up kidnapping and murder jobs so brazenly! From what I've gathered, Cloud found them on a public chat forum, and they hit it off by chance. From their means and testimony, Cloud had probably hired a few more people before them. But they were probably a couple of gutless newbies. Plus, she deliberately created the false impression of child trafficking, our investigation was led astray, all that to pave the way for this one attack. As for whether this was part of her plan or one formed from many failed plans, we will never know!"

Lexx sight, his palm drenched in a cold sweat.

"He who is unjust is doomed to destruction; that sure was a close call! If she hadn't changed her hires at the last minute, her spotter and kidnappers weren't from the same bunch, and if Fleur hadn't snatched Yvette's bag so coincidentally, I fear to even imagine what things would look like now!"

Though it still ended with a tragedy, she probably had it coming. Up to this point, apart from feeling bad for the young, innocent life, what was more discernible was what goes around comes around!
