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.
