Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 986

The crash was more than enough to stop the car. Moreover, as the police had rammed into Cody's car from the side, the injuries caused to the passengers were minimal.

The moment Cody's car had stopped, the police got out of their cars and surrounded him.

"Get down, Cody Rogers!" Mr. Burton shouted again.

Cody opened the door, but he did not get down. He grabbed Bethany and kept her in his arms while he stuck his knife at her neck again. "If you come closer, I'll fucking kill her!"

He was so anxious that he did not care about what would happen if he threatened the police.

He only cared that he could escape as soon as possible.

Because Cody had a hostage, the police carefully backed away while taking out their guns. They aimed their guns at him.

"Cody Rogers, if you insist on fighting back, we have the right to shoot you dead!" Mr. Burton shouted.

Cody was not afraid at all. He dug the knifepoint into Bethany's flesh. Bethany screamed loudly as her tears and snot spilled out of her eyes and nose.

Mr. Burton glanced at his subordinates, and everyone backed away a little again, but their guns were still up.

"Put down your guns!" Cody yelled.

"Let the kid go, and we'll put down our guns," Mr. Burton said.

"Do you think I'm stupid? If I let her go, you'll take me to jail!" Cody tightened his grip around Bethany. "I can't fucking go to jail! I'm rich. Why should I be in jail!"

…

Kevan only heard the process of Cody's capture from Mr. Burton. When he arrived at the site with a police car sent to get him, all that was left was a car filled with cash and two puddles of dried blood on the ground.

Cody was dead. The biggest danger had been removed. Kevan should have been happy, but he just could not find it in him to rejoice.

he had paid a huge price for today. He had even sacrificed the life of an innocent child.

"It's better if you go." Larissa persuaded Kevan. "This isn't your fault anyway. I'm sure she will understand if you apologize to her properly."

If he did not go, this matter would haunt him, and he would never get closure from it.
