Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo
Chapter 862

Edmund seemed to be convinced by Larissa. His stunned expression turned dark pretty quickly. The sound of knocking sounded at this time. The man in the black suit entered the room. He was still stone-faced. He did not look at Larissa at all for fear that Edmund might notice something. "Mr. Rogers, it's time. We have to go," he said in a low voice to Edmund. Edmund nodded. "Okay." He pulled Larissa up from the bed.

Because her ankles were tied by the ropes, Larissa nearly slammed against the wall when her feet touched the floor. Edmund helped steady her and frowned at the ropes on her ankles.

Previously, he only wanted to stop Larissa from escaping, so he got the guys to tie layers of ropes around her legs. He did not think it would cause trouble now for him. After some hesitation, he called the man in a black suit to come over. "Free her legs." Then, he warned Larissa. "If you dare to try something, Wendy-"

"Chill. I won't escape." Larissa mocked him. "I'm more trustworthy compared to you."

Edmund snorted coldly. "You'd better hope so."

The man asked Edmund, "Mr. Rogers, should we free her hands too? Because what if people see and call the police ..."

Edmund was silent for a bit then he said, "Go ahead. She can't run anyway."

The men in black suits had tied deadened knots when they'd tied Larissa up. So, only a knife could help cut Larissa free.

Larissa glanced at the pocket knife the man was using, and an idea struck her. She secretly gave the man a look, and the man understood what she wanted. After cutting Larissa free, he secretly slipped the pocket knife into Larissa's down jacket pocket while Edmund was not looking.

"Done," the man in the black suit reported emotionlessly to Edmund, who wrapped an arm around Larissa.

Edmund pretended to be very affectionate with Larissa. "Do not scream or shout for help after going out. Otherwise—"

"Otherwise you'll kill Wendy and her unborn child that she had with you." Larissa coldly finished his sentence. "That's enough, stop talking. Every time you say it, it just tells everyone what a fucking monster you are."

Edmund's expression froze for a moment before he snarled threateningly at her, "Shut up, bitch!"

The motel did not have soundproofing. When walking in the corridor, one could clearly hear the heavy metal music coming from a nearby door as well as moaning.

To prevent people from paying attention to them, Edmund and Larissa left first and the black-suited men followed after.

Some sloppy thugs passed by and whistled at Larissa openly, making all kinds of disgusting gestures. They even asked Edmund, "Can we do a threesome?"

Edmund's face was dark. He pressed his lips together and ignored these people.

His attitude was treated as a provocation by the thugs. They surrounded Edmund and Larissa, and one of them purposely knocked into Edmund.

Edmund was knocked back hard, and he let go of Larissa as a result.

"Who do you think you are, motherfucker?" The thugs trapped Edmund in a corner. "Do you know whose land you're on? Can't be fucked with us? Who gave you the guts to be a dick?"

Edmund was not a tall person, and so he looked even shorter and smaller when stuck with these tall Aldovians. He did not dare to start things with the thugs as he kept glancing back to see if the black-suited men had followed.

He smiled at the same time as he begged for mercy. "Sorry, sorry. I didn't mean to."

Larissa watched coldly. She was somewhat amused by Edmund's dumb cowardice. What a typical poser he was, and useless too. If it were not for the fact that Wendy was in Edmund's hands, she would not even need to bribe the black-suited people. All she needed to do was let these thugs take care of Edmund.

But Larissa could not let anything happen to Edmund for Wendy's sake.
