Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 698: Tears of joy

How did Haines get his leg? Because he was digging into the baby swap. It was only recently that Hugo and Atlas found that out-if not for Zoren coming into the Bennet Mansion.

It seemed that the theory they had was true.

Anyone who tried to dig into that information would warrant death.

"Hah..." Hugo took a step back, letting Merrick go.

"Man..." Merrick let out a deep exhale, looking at this madman. "I'm not even safe with you, am I?"

Hugo didn't say a word, hearing a siren not far away. "Let's go first. We have a long night to talk... free of charge. I'm broke as hell."

"Huh?" Merrick's face soured, but before he could say anything, Hugo continued.

"What? Do you think saving your life isn't worth that much?" Hugo tilted his head slightly to the side. "If so, should I just kill you right here and now?"

Merrick clicked his tongue. "Why are you so hot-blooded?! I said fine! I will talk." He huffed, looking toward the end of the alley. "I won't let those motherfuckers get away with everything they've taken from me."

"And the footage from last night?"

"It's clean," Merrick hissed. "They cleaned it up."

"So, all this time, you've been... their puppet?"

"How are they supposed to keep my clients if they kill me?"

"Then why are they trying to kill you tonight?"

Merrick pressed his lips together, about to answer Hugo, when they heard someone approaching. "We should go. Don't worry. I'll tell you everything you want, alright? Just not now because, as you can tell, we're on the run."

"I am not." Hugo shook his head, taking a step as he grabbed Merrick by the back collar. "Come on. Let's get out of here..."

BANG!
