Chapter 313
Following Anastasia’s instructions, Benny quickly replied to Ashley’s nagging, “All set, coming down soon.”
“Hurry up, don’t get caught.” Ashley reminded him over the phone.
“Okay, okay.” Benny repeated.
Seeing the right moment, Anastasia hung up.
Benny turned to Anastasia and Flynn with a scared face, “I’ve done what you guys asked for, can you let us go now?”
Clyde stuttered again, “We didn’t take any money or hurt anyone, and we did everything you asked. Can you let us go now?”
Anastasia stood up, “Hold your horses. There’s one more thing I need you two brothers to do.” She had a plan in mind.
Flynn asked, “Anastasia, what’s your next move?”
A determined glint flashed in Anastasia’s eyes, “I want to see what Ashley is up to. This is the perfect crime evidence. How can I let it slip? Flynn, wrap Clyde in a sheet, you and Benny carry him down and take him to the back alley. If we’re going to play, we hit it big.”
Flynn immediately understood Anastasia’s intentions. If they could prove that Ashley intended to kidnap Anastasia, Ashley would be toast. He picked up the sedative they’d found on the brothers earlier, smiled at them and said, “Sorry, guys. Then, Flynn injected Clyde with the sedative, leaving just Benny.
Flynn warned, “If you don’t want to end up behind bars, you better cooperate. I’m going to unwrap the sheet. You get dressed, and we’ll carry him down together.”
Benny quickly nodded, “Okay, I promise to cooperate.”
Anastasia waited at the foyer. Flynn untangled the sheet and Benny got dressed. The two then carried Clyde out.
Clyde was tightly wrapped in the sheet, his face hidden. Flynn put on a mask and wore Clyde’s jacket. Thanks to the dim lighting in the back alley, they wouldn’t be easily noticed. Anastasia hid around the corner, where a car was indeed waiting, with Ashley inside. She snuck out her phone and started recording.
Ashley saw Benny carrying someone down and wanted to check if it was Anastasia under the sheets, but Flynn shoved the person into the car, saying, “I just saw hotel security on patrol.”
Hearing this, Ashley didn’t check any further and hurriedly said, “Get in the car, and take her to Nurture Care Clinic on 10th Drive. Once she’s delivered, you’ll get your full pay.”
After saying this, she got into a Mercedes parked nearby. Someone like Ashley would never ride in a commoner’s car.
Benny and Flynn got into the van, a bit tense, “Are we really going?”
Flynn gave Benny a nudge with his foot, “Start driving. Let’s see what she’s up to at Nurture Care Clinic.”
Benny started the van, following the Mercedes to Nurture Care Clinic.
Anastasia decided to bow out, leaving the rest to Flynn.
