Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 1554

Pembroke had rushed to Clive's holding cell the second he saw Stiles' body.

Things would be a lot more complicated if Clive died.

Pembroke knew that Clive had been Landhor's right-hand man and had enough dirt on Landhor that Landhor would go down for good if Clive were to open his mouth.

With Clive and Seamus dead, and Landhor refusing to say a word, this would quickly turn into a sticky situation.

The special forces would have to release them eventually if they had no proof, as they were not the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense and thus could not do whatever they wanted.

Yet upon entering the cell, Clive seemed perfectly fine.

Pembroke called for a doctor to run a full body check-up on Clive, with the results being fine as well.

Nothing but confused, Pembroke returned to Stiles' corpse.

Shane was there too, and both of them stared at Stiles' body suspiciously.

Stiles had ended his life after visiting Clive's holding cell. Even a fool would be able to deduce that he had gone to the cell to kill Clive, and then end his own life to get rid of all remaining evidence.

It was pretty much confirmed that Stiles was working for Landhor. But why was Clive completely fine? That made no sense at all.

At the same time, a girl sat in her apartment holding her phone as tears streamed down her face.

On the phone was a voice message that had been sent to her.

"My darling Cassie, I have no choice but to do this. I've owed someone for a while now. It's time I repaid them, and I have to pay up with my own life. I've decided to keep this last bit of conscience I have in me, however, along with my love for you. I'm not going to kill the person I was sent to kill. He deserves to be punished and I know that. The million dollars are the last of my love for you. I hope you don't see this money as dirty or cruel and go on living a good life with it. I don't deserve you. Please forget me."

The girl did not understand the entirety of the message but knew enough to realize that her lover was long gone now.

He had told her that he would die anytime, which she had thought was just a joke.

It turned out that he had not been joking in the slightest, after all.

The girl clutched the phone tightly, sobbing her heart out.

…

Over in Special Forces, the interrogations had begun.
