It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 432

"Leo? Do you really think that he can even notice this? If he could, he wouldn't have been fooled by you and your evil cousin for all these years!" Luke retorted sharply with a sneer, his eyes filled with contempt. He had already given Leo all the reports he had investigated the other day. Leo knew what happened to his late wife and who did it to her; still, he did nothing about it. On top of that, he had the nerve to attend the FX International Group's anniversary party with the vicious woman who had schemed to kill his ex-wife and tortured his daughter. It was obvious that he wasn't convinced by what Edward and Luke told him. Luke felt that Leo was so stupid and ignorant that he deserved to be set up, but Luke only felt sorry for his late wife, who was innocent the whole time. Luke wondered how Leo would react when he realized that Edward was telling the truth. To be honest, Luke usually had no interest in other people's personal lives, and he didn't like to gossip. However, he was triggered this time because they had hurt Edward's wife. He and Edward were like brothers; he cared about Edward, and so he consequently cared about everyone Edward loved.

"Who else would hold onto this after all these years? Just tell me who you are and what you want from me!" The feel of insecurity and uncertainty sent chills down Paul's spine. He was trembling all over in terror. This man had kept him captive for days. However, Paul didn't even know who the man was and what he was going to do to him.

"What I want is quite simple. I only want the truth from you. As for who we are, you'll find out when the time is right. Don't worry, we'll make sure that you'll never forget. Now, just shut up and behave. You've escaped the rule of law once, but you won't get away with it again this time."

Since Edward was injured and unconscious in hospital, Luke had to postpone a lot of things that needed his instructions and permission to carry on. Edward didn't tell Luke how to deal with Paul after he confessed, therefore Luke wouldn't dare to do anything to him yet. Luckily for Paul, he could still enjoy his last few days away from jail before Edward woke up. They had recorded his confession, which was enough for them to send Paul behind bars. The only problem left was how to make Yakira confess her evil deeds.

"Man, please. I know I've done something really wrong, and I shouldn't have done that. But I've told you everything I know. So please! Please just let me go. I'll go. I'll leave at once! Go abroad and never come back. You'll never have to see me again. I promise. Please just let me go."

Paul might be evil, but he was not stupid. He knew it clearly that he had messed with someone he shouldn't have. They took all the trouble to take him here and make him talk; now that they had what they wanted, nothing good would come of it. Luke wouldn't tell Paul who he was, so Paul got more frightened. The desperation and fear were gnawing at him and driving him crazy.

"Cut the crap. You should have seen it coming when you committed the crime. You want us to let you go? Did it ever occur to you to let go of Grace back then? She was innocent! What had she done to you? Nothing! Yet you killed her for your own interests. You should have known well that karma is a bitch and sooner or later you'd have to pay for what you've done."

Luke was a taciturn man. It was unusual that he would say so many words at a time. However, faced with Paul, Luke was shocked by how evil he had been. Paul's maliciousness had bruised the soft spot on his heart. Luke couldn't help but speak up for Grace, even though he didn't even know her.

"You're committing a crime as well! It's illegal for you to keep me captive against my will!" Paul yelled hysterically, expecting that someone would hear him and come to his rescue. He didn't want to stay at this damp and dark basement anymore.
