Chapter 100 A Comfortable Life Arranged
No one knew how long it had gone on. By the time it stopped, the woman on the floor was barely breathing. The man finally lowered the whip, but the anger in his eyes hadn’t faded at all.
“Where did you get the nerve?” he said soldly. “You didn’t look scared at all when you tried to kill someone.”

Raymond tossed the whip aside. One of his men quickly stepped forward and handed him a clean cloth. Raymond wiped the blood from his hands slowly, as if it didn’t bother him at all.
Lucy lay on the ground, her hair a mess, blood at the corner of her mouth. She had never imagined Agnes had someone this powerful behind her. It was all that bitch’s fault.
That woman hadn’t told her anything. She had used her like a tool.
Lucy felt like a fool. She had rushed into the battle for someone else, and now she was the one paying the price. Regret hit her hard.
Her whole body shook as she tried to explain. “I’m sorry. I really didn’t know Agnes was someone important to you. If I had known, I wouldn’t have dared, not even if you gave me ten chances!”
She coughed, her voice trembling. “Before this, Agnes embarrassed me at the school gate. I felt humiliated. My boyfriend… he got taken by her friend. I was upset. But later, I let it go. I didn’t plan to hurt her at all.
“It was that woman. She came to me out of nowhere. She said she’d help me get revenge. She said she’d help me win my boyfriend back. That’s why I believed her lies.
“I deserve this. I made an awful mistake. I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. She told me to do it. It was all her idea.”
She broke down crying.
Raymond’s eyes turned colder. “That woman told you to do this. What’s her name?”
Lucy nodded quickly, desperate. “Yes, yes! She told me what to do. I only know her last name is Young. I don’t know anything else…”
She suddenly remembered something. “Oh! Right! She said she has a lot of power in Grandridge. She owns a company. It’s called… what was it… Yes! Y&N!
“That’s it! Y&N! She said she also had issues with Agnes. Now I realize… she was using me to do her dirty work. I was just a pawn.
“Please, I’ve told you everything I know. Let me go. I can testify against her. Please… I don’t even want my boyfriend anymore. I just want to go home. Bohoo!”
She cried harder, her voice breaking.
Raymond rubbed his hands together slowly. His dark eyes narrowed, filled with something dangerous.
It was Hillary. He had let her off before. It seemed like she had gotten bolder.

A strange smile curved on his lips as he walked toward Lucy.

“Don’t worry,” he said calmly. “I won’t kill you. I’ll make sure you’re taken care of for the rest of your life.”
Lucy bowed nonstop in gratitude. “Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I’Heave Grandridge right now. I’ll never come back!”
She trembled as she pushed herself up from the floor. Before she could even steady her feet, a few strong men grabbed her and dragged her toward the door.
Lucy struggled and shouted, “Hey-what is this?! What are you doing?! Let me go! Didn’t you say you’d let me go?! I told you everything I know! Let go of me!”
Raymond smiled faintly. “Didn’t I already tell you?”
Lucy was still confused when the warehouse doors opened. Outside, several police cars were waiting.
The officers stepped forward, cuffed her hands, and pulled her into a patrol car. Only then did it hit her.
The “safe and secure life” Raymond had promised was in prison.
In a luxurious private hospital room, Agnes sat propped up in bed. Megan stood nearby, her eyes wary as she watched the woman across the room.
Hillary stood there holding a bouquet of flowers, smiling sweetly at Agnes.
But to Agnes, that smile felt sharp and dangerous.
“Agnes,” Hillary said gently, “I heard you were in the hospital. I happened to be here for a check-up today, so I thought I’d come see you.”
As she spoke, she walked forward and tried to hand over the flowers. But Megan stepped in quickly and took them first.
“Ms. Young, that’s very kind of you. I’ll take these and put them in a vase,” Megan said smoothly.
was.
She had seen too much in her years working for the Newton family. She knew what kind of person Hillary
୮
She still remembered Ursa’s birthday, when Hillary had deliberately clung to Raymond to embarrass Agnes.
Now Agnes was in the hospital, and this woman claimed she came to visit. Megan didn’t trust her one bit.
Hillary glanced at Megan blocking her path and cursed her silently. Old woman, always sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong.
But her smile didn’t fade. “Thank you,” she said politely.
