His scrutinizing gaze frightened them. Both Aden and Paul knew that they couldn't lie to him, let alone
escape.
Kevin was the most powerful man in A City.
Even Kim died at his hand. Now they understood why the police could catch them so quickly. They
knew that they had reached the end of their lives.
"Yes. Our car hit Luke's electric bike!" Aden answered, not bothering to hide the truth anymore.
A frown lined Kevin's forehead as the name sounded familiar.
He suddenly remembered that Cherry had mentioned him more than once.
"It is a desolate street. No one was around.
Luke's body might still be there," Paul mumbled.
Kevin shook his head as he realized what had happened and whispered something in the policeman's
ear. The officer eye's widened in shock; he followed him and left right away.
Aden and Paul were caught red-handed. The police secured their arms with handcuffs and dragged
them away.
Soon, Kevin received a call. The police informed that Luke was admitted to the hospital. The man had
suffered serious injuries. He was in critical condition, and the doctors were trying to save him.
Kevin hung up the call and heaved a sigh of relief. He understood that neither Aden nor Paul bore
grudges against Luke, so they had no reason to target him. From what he had heard, Kevin concluded
that Cherry was involved in the accident.
He felt that the woman had lost her mind. She was complicating things by trying to kill a police officer.
All of this would only turn against her.
Kevin shook his head and left. Aden and Paul were arrested not only because he had hit Luke, but also
because Kevin had filed a complaint against them. The police couldn't neglect his power and
accomplish everything efficiently.
Kevin called Selma and informed about the good news. The woman finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Once he finished talking to his mother, Colin called him, asking him to go to the construction site for
investigation. Kevin was reluctant to go at first. However, he remembered that he had another work at
the same place. Therefore, the business trip would only be beneficial for him.
As soon as Anne knew about Kevin's plans, she started packing his things. She was a doting wife who
always arranged everything for him.
Seeing Anne folding his clothes, Kevin smiled and hugged her from behind. Alan was still in prison. The
interrogation hadn't started yet, and his chances of escaping were slim. Moreover, both Aden and Paul
were also held captive. Therefore, Anne was safe -- no one could threaten her in his absence.
"I'll be back in a week. Don't miss me too much, okay?" he whispered before kissing her ear. Anne's
body tingled. She turned around and scowled at him.
But her passionate eyes seemed like a silent invitation. He couldn't help but smile at her.
"Don't worry. I will take good care of our children and make sure Aden and Paul don't cause further
problems." Anne wrapped her arms around Kevin's waist and stared into his eyes.
The man picked Anne in his arms. She instinctively wrapped her hands around his neck and leaned
closer. "I'll miss my wife very much because I can't see her for a week."
He placed her on top of the bed and pressed his lips against hers.
Meanwhile, Cherry was in the hospital, accompanying Andrew.
His wounds began to heal; he was recovering slowly. Andrew's fans were excited. They expected to
see him back on screen.
Cherry was smart and knew what she should do at this time to impress the public as Andrew's
girlfriend. Therefore, she came to Andrew's ward every evening and left late at night.
As expected, the media noticed her gesture and lauded her for it. Cherry was a successful and busy
actor in the industry, but she never failed to take care of her boyfriend. Andrew's fans adored her even
though she was the reason behind all his sufferings.
Andrew knew Cherry's true color. He knew that she was using him to earn a good name but didn't have
the heart to tell her not to come.
"Andrew." Cherry looked up at him with a gentle smile on her face.
Andrew frowned, wondering what she was smiling for.
"I have been thinking whether I should help Alan and bail him out. The man has already suffered a lot
in jail, and I'm sure he must have lost his temper. I don't think anyone should stay in such a depressing
atmosphere for a long time. It would only force him to think of evil plans." With Luke gone, the man was
no a threat to her. Moreover, Aden and Paul had already deleted the information in Luke's mobile while
working on the issue, destroying the only evidence against her.
Therefore, she decided to get Alan out to make sure he didn't cause further problems.
Andrew sighed. He had no choice but to listen to her. "All right. I'll leave it to my assistant."
Cherry nodded, smiling gratefully.
The frown on Andrew's forehead deepened. Both of them fell into an awkward silence. Things had
changed over the last few days. The two spent time together every day but had nothing to say to each
other.
Meanwhile, Luke was in the ICU; the doctors finished performing the surgery and informed his family
that he was out of danger. Luke was still under heavy sedatives and would only wake up the day after
tomorrow.
Alan also got to know about Luke's accident as he overheard two officers talking about him. He knew
that Cherry wouldn't bear such an insult, so he had warned Luke to be careful. However, he didn't think
that she would attack him soon.
It seemed that Cherry hadn't learned to solve the problem even after all these years. She only
complicated things further and brought trouble for herself.
If she wanted to kill someone, she had to do it perfectly. Now that Luke didn't die and the criminals had
been caught, she was digging her own grave.
Alan stood up and stretched his body. He looked at the dingy cell and vowed to leave the place soon.
However, he was oblivious to the two other prisoners in the next cell. Aden and Paul were arrested
today.
The three of them were separated only by a wall.
