So Theon was a killer.
Larissa’s gaze drifted past the window, settling on a large tree heavy with snow.
Nightveil’s voice continued over the phone, "Two years ago, Theon killed a family of three in a drunk driving accident. Their baby was just a month old. Because both parents were only children, their elderly parents were left with no one. The incident trended online for a while, but Damon quickly paid to have it scrubbed from the internet and bribed the right people to make it all go away. The four grandparents had no legal recourse, and two of them died from the grief six months ago."
At this, Nightveil’s already cold voice filled with an icy fury. "According to an insider, throughout the entire ordeal, from the moment he killed them to the story breaking online, Theon showed no remorse. He even joked with his degenerate friends afterward… that the baby’s skull must have been tough, since his head was severed without his skull shattering."
A murderous glint flashed in Larissa’s eyes.
That monster!
"Is that so? Suddenly, I'm curious myself," she said, her voice dangerously low. "I wonder just how tough Theon's bones really are. Can they withstand being hit by a car?"
"Boss," Nightveil said, "does this mean you don't plan on sending him to prison through legal channels?"
"Prison is too good for him," Larissa replied, her eyes radiating a lethal intensity. "I want an eye for an eye, a hundred times over. You still have Trudy, right? Have her do it. We can just throw her in prison when it's done."
"Understood."
But first, Larissa needed to teach Theon a little lesson to quell the rage burning inside her.
"Where is he now?"
"In the exclusive VIP lounge at Neverending Night with Lucius."
"Good."
Livia shot her a cold look. "Was I talking to you?"
Honora forced an awkward smile. "I just didn't want you to get the wrong idea."
She had learned her lesson. After she’d killed Hendrix Coleman and Lucius had covered for her, she had tried to expose Livia’s collaboration with Larissa, only to be viciously kicked by Lucius. She knew now to keep her mouth shut when it came to Livia. Regardless of the truth, Livia was Lucius’s woman, and no one else was allowed to comment on her. Perhaps Lucius felt that he was the only one with the right to judge her.
Finally, Lucius spoke. "She was here reporting to me."
It was a simple explanation.
"Reporting? What kind of work is she doing for you?" Livia asked, her tone dripping with jealousy. "I don't like her. She looks like trouble. Who knows if she's trying to seduce you!"
Across from them, Theon, fearing Lucius might get annoyed, chimed in. "Livia, a man like Mr. Lincoln can have a few women on the side. That's normal. Just focus on keeping your place as his number one and making him happy."
