Chapter 681 Unexpected Death

'You want to call the police?' Samuel asked angrily.

Leonard didn't expect Samuel to stand up so quickly. He couldn't help but feel slightly flustered. His cell phone had been thrown to the bottom of the cabinet, and he couldn't pick it up because Samuel was trying to kill him.

While dodging Samuel's dagger, Leonard observed the surroundings to see if any tools could help him change the situation.

Soon, he saw a vise.

Samuel was a middle-aged man, so his mobility was incomparable to Leonard's.

Leonard grabbed the vise frantically and tried to stab Samuel fiercely.

'I'll kill you.' Samuel dodged. The dagger in his hand was sharp. To survive, he had no choice but to kill Leonard.

Leonard's eyes were bloodshot. He clenched the vise tightly and tried his best to hit Samuel again.

But Samuel fell heavily on Leonard, and the dagger was about to stab Leonard's neck.

Leonard grabbed Samuel's hand that held the dagger and forced it to slash his own neck.

The next moment, bright red blood dripped on Leonard's face, the hand he was holding lost its strength, and then the dagger fell to the ground.

Leonard panted heavily and pushed Samuel, who was lying on top of him and had no strength left.

After calming down completely, he finally understood what had happened. He stretched out his hand nervously to check Samuel's breathing, and then drew back in horror.

He is dead! I killed him!

Leonard gulped before finally understanding the fact that he had killed Samuel.

He flipped open the business card on the bed. His name is Bryce Cooper.

Calm down. No time to panic!

Wait a minute. This guy is sent here as a corpse. He must have made enough preparations to assassinate me, and he had used all kinds of means to sneak in.

At least it saved me a lot of effort.

After cleaning up the mess, Leonard placed Samuel back on the gurney and covered the latter with a white cloth. The wound on Samuel's neck was still bleeding, and there was no sign of stopping.

After thinking of HCIO in the office, Leonard immediately returned to the office and took HCIO over to wash the blood off the floor. After simple treatment, he pushed the gurney directly into the refrigeration storage.

Anyway, Samuel was sent here as a corpse.

At the Easton house's dining table, Ainsley felt awkward because Robyn looked so friendly. She had never seen such friendliness from Robyn before. Even Waston felt strange about such abnormal behavior. As Ainsley ate, her cell phone vibrated. It was Leonard.

Her first thought was that something had happened to Leonard. She was sure about it.

Just as she was about to make the call, Robyn stopped her. "Don't worry about work while eating!"

Robyn even walked over and took Ainsley's cell phone away.

'Mom, what if it's something serious?" Matteo asked discontentedly.

Robyn's face darkened. "Something serious? Come on, it's just a school. It's ridiculous if Aisy went to work for the school without eating. Anyway, listen to me. It can wait until you finish the dinner." Ainsley frowned slightly and reached out to get her cell phone back, but Robyn still forcefully stopped her. "Aisy, you haven't listened to me since you were a child. You must listen to me this time. Finish your food first."

'Robyn, it's an emergency." Ainsley's tone sounded cold and serious, and she had shown great dissatisfaction.

But to her surprise, Robyn still did not give her the cell phone.

Ainsley was puzzled. Why is she trying so hard to stop me?

She reached out to hold the side of the cell phone. 'I'm just going to make one call. It won't take long."

'Can't you hear what I said? No." Robyn's voice suddenly became loud. Soon, she realized that her reaction was not normal, and she hurriedly eased up a bit. "Don't blame me, Aisy. I just thought you weren't full yet."

'Mom! Return the cell phone to Aisy," Matteo said coldly. Just then, Ainsley jerked her cell phone back. She glanced at Matteo solemnly to signal that Robyn's behavior was abnormal.

Then, she went out of the restaurant with her cell phone and went into the bathroom to call Leonard.

She was a little nervous. She knew someone was going to deal with Leonard, but she didn't expect it to come so suddenly.

For the sake of that truth, she had to protect Leonard as well.

The call took a long time to get through. Ainsley immediately asked, 'Leonard?'

The person on the other end of the line was obviously panting. "Ms. Easton, I'm sorry. My son just played with my cell phone and accidentally called. I hung up immediately after I found out. It didn't disturb you, did it?"

Ainsley heaved a sigh of relief. "I thought..."

"What?" Leonard raised his voice.

Ainsley smiled faintly. "It's nothing. I'm glad that you're okay."

After hanging up the phone, Ainsley returned to the dining room. As soon as she sat down, she found that Robyn was looking over time and again. She didn't say anything, but Ainsley felt that Robyn's looks were very mixed.

Thinking of Robyn's abnormal behavior just now, Ainsley couldn't help but think more complicated. Did what happened just now have something to do with Robyn?

Matteo looked at her as if asking if something big had happened.

Ainsley shook her head at Matteo while signaling that nothing was happening.

In the center, Leonard wiped away the sweat on his forehead and tossed the dagger aside.

He calmly tidied his clothes and then assumed his usual demeanor before returning to his office.

Before he could relax completely, he suddenly thought of the surveillance cameras in the corridor, and at the door of the refrigeration storage.

He immediately entered the surveillance room, and the man on duty was yawning at the moment.

He handed the man a cigarette. "Cigarette?"

The man took the cigarette and asked, "Mr. Lopez, why are you here?"

Leonard quickly pretended to look distressed and said, "To be honest, I was unlucky. I came here with a watch, but after patrolling, I found that the watch was gone. So I came to the surveillance room to replace out where it could be left. Alas, that watch is a memorial gift from my wife."

The man immediately smiled and said, "Go ahead, Mr. Lopez. Well, can I go to the toilet?"

'Okay, you go on. I'll watch over here for you," Leonard immediately said.

The man rushed out of the room, and Leonard was the only one there.

He quickly found the surveillance footage of the corridor that night, took out the footage of him on duty a few months ago, using which he covered it up directly, and deleted all the suspicious parts. After doing all this, he exhaled heavily, as if he had solved a huge problem.

At the Easton house, the meal finally finished, but Robyn still had no intention of leaving.
