Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo
Chapter 863

While the thugs were all focused on Edmund, Larissa turned and ran.

When the thugs saw that Larissa was running inside the motel, they did not chase after her, probably thinking that she was already their prize anyway. They laughed harder at Edmund instead. "Lookie here! Even your woman left you alone to run off by herself!"

"You're a sack of shit, dude!"

"Hahahaha!"

Larissa ran as fast as she could to the room Edmund had locked her in. She smacked her hand repeatedly on the door and shouted, "Come out quickly! Edmund's getting beaten up!"

The black-suited men ran out from their rooms, and the leader was the one Larissa had made a deal with. He must have informed the others at this point, because he asked very plainly, "Shouldn't you be escaping if Rogers is getting beaten up? Why are you still here looking for us?"

"Didn't I tell you that I have to follow him to the airport?" Larissa waved her hand. "Enough talk. Hurry and go save him! If he can't leave, my friend won't be able to go home!" She led the black-suited men and walked out.

Edmund was still trapped by the thugs. He had some injuries on his face. One thug was about to punch him hard when Larissa shouted, "Stop!"

The thug stopped, and he was originally going to curse when he saw the group of people behind Larissa. Frantically patting the arm of one of his guys, he said, "Let's go!" The thugs ran away and vanished really quickly.

The black-suited men surrounded Edmund quickly.

"Mr. Rogers, are you okay?"

"Sorry, Mr. Rogers. We were late."

"Do you need to go to the hospital, Mr. Rogers?"

Each of them spouted words of great concern. If it were not for the fact that Larissa already knew that these people had betrayed Edmund, she might have been touched by their "true" concern. Edmund waved the men off in pain. He pretended he was fine. "It's fine. No need for the hospital. We'll go straight to the airport."

He looked at Larissa, who stood away from the men. His eyes showed some confusion and curiosity.

With the protection of the black-suited men, any thugs they ran into did not dare to come provoke them. They all stayed well away from the group for fear of getting targeted.

There was a row of cars parked outside the motel. Edmund dragged Larissa into one of them. There were two men in black suits with them.

The car drove steadily to the airport.

After that incident, Edmund seemed to trust Larissa more. He did not mention anything about "not escaping" even until they got out of the car.

Westonia was one of the busiest cities in Aldovia. The airport had the most flights in the country. Even if it was midnight, one could still see travelers hurrying around the place with their suitcases.

Edmund's men in black suits were obviously noticeable. But as they were all cold-faced and had ruthless auras, no one dared to look in their direction for too long.

After entering the waiting room, Edmund got Larissa to "settle down" before getting up to leave.

"Watch her. I'll go make a call."
