President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 608

Diego didn’t show up again until late at night.

This time, there was no sound outside. It seemed that the rest of the gang had all fell asleep.

Laura was not sure whether they were asleep or left. Anyway, it was very quiet outside.

Diego walked in stealthily, holding a bunch of car keys.

He came over and untied Laura.

As he untied the ropes, he remarked, “Don’t make a sound. Just come with me. The car is parked on the road not far away. We’ll go there and get straight into the car.”

The tape on Laura’s mouth had long been removed, so she could speak now.

Hearing this, Laura asked with concern, “Where are the others?”

Diego cast a look at her.

This look was meaningful. For some reason, it sent a chill down his spine.

She felt as if a snake had climbed onto her back.

Diego immediately laughed a sinister laugh and said, “I drugged them and locked them up in the cellar.”

The so-called cellar was probably just a basement.

This was a factory. It certainly had a basement to store things that were rarely used.

But Laura still had some doubts.

“Why did you move them to the basement?”

To get her out of here, drugging those people would suffice. But why bother moving those people to the basement?

Diego stared at her coldly and narrowed his eyes.

In a low and chilling voice, he muttered, “If I didn’t move them there, wouldn’t the dead bodies be discovered right away? The basement is a good hiding place. The bodies are safe there at least for several days. When others discover their bodies, I’ll be long gone and I can get away with this. Don’t you think so?”

Laura abruptly stopped moving.

Rooted to the spot, she stared at Diego in disbelief.

Diego took out a knife when she was not looking.

He pressed the knife against Laura’s belly and said with a cold laugh, “Sweetie, I killed those people just to help you. You wouldn’t rat me out, would you?”

Laura felt her back cold. It was as if a chill had penetrated through her skin and reached her marrow. She couldn’t even feel her fingers.

After a long while, she nodded shakily.

“No... I won’t.”

Diego crooked his index finger, gesturing her to stand up.

Then, he said, “In that case, take me to get the money! Don’t worry. No one is outside now. As long as you do what I tell you to, no one will hurt you.”

While speaking, he kept the knife on her skin, urging her to go outside.

Laura moved her stiffened legs to inch towards the outside. Suddenly, something occurred to her.

It turned out that… Diego had never considered letting her go!

She was not stupid after all. Diego had killed so many people, but he told her about this without reservation.

Diego would never disclose such a secret to someone who had always been on his opposite side and could sell him out at any time.

But he did… That meant he never considered letting her live on!

The dead couldn’t talk after all.

At this thought, Laura shivered all over. Overwhelming horror and helplessness washed over her.

She felt like a dense cluster of dark clouds was bearing down on her, crushing her and suffocating her.

Still, she bit her lips and managed to keep a straight face.

She meekly followed Diego out.
