Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 605

"Am I evil? If Chloe doesn't get taken out, we're both done for!"

Lisa was boiling with anger. But what really got under her skin was how this rat of a man could be so utterly useless. She feared they'd never get another shot at getting rid of Chloe. And now, with the whole fiasco involving Linda, the entire town was buzzing with gossip. Ricky, for sure, wouldn’t escape this mess. But letting him fall into the cops' hands? Not happening.

Her eyes drifted to the gun tucked in Ricky’s coat pocket. Meanwhile, Ricky was lost in his own little world, dreaming about his future days in Las Vegas.

"Sure, I didn't help you kill Chloe, but I took the fall for murder for you. As long as I jet out of here, you can keep living your squeaky-clean life. If I stick around, peace is the last thing you’ll have."

"Ricky, what's that supposed to mean?"

"It means you still owe me the fifty million you promised."

Ricky wasn’t sweating the small stuff. He knew he couldn't hang around here, and Lisa would make sure he got out. His only worry was that Lisa might renege on their deal since the plan flopped. Without that fifty million, what was the point of heading to Vegas?

Lisa caught his drift and replied coolly, "Relax, everything's set up for you. You won’t be shortchanged a penny."

Ricky's face broke into a wide grin. "Ms. Lisa, you really know how to play the game. I misjudged you before."

The car zipped along the freeway before finally pulling up in the Moonlight Residential Area. It was a rundown old neighborhood, with hardly any residents left and buildings on the brink of collapse. But Ricky knew this place like the back of his hand. It was his turf.

Lisa hopped out of the car. Ricky followed suit, trailing after her. "Why are we here? Weren't we supposed to head to the airport?"

Lisa explained, "Everything I got ready for you is in your place. You need to grab your passport and new ID, right?"

Ricky's mood shifted quickly. "Let's grab the stuff and scram. No time to waste. The cops will be on us soon."
