Chapter 389

"Okay. I'll make sure to keep that in mind. By the way. this room is booked using your ID. so you don't need to worry about finding a place to stay. There is a stash of cash in the bedside drawer, which should be enough to cover your expenses for now. If you ever find yourself running out of money, let me know and I'll arrange for more. There is also a new phone inside, so I will contact you if the need arises.”

Shania could barely hide her surprise. "Did you prepare all that for me?”

The man nodded. "Dealing with Xavier and Winnie is no easy feat. I'm never one to enter a war without proper preparation.”

"How thoughtfill of you.” Shania remarked with her brows knitted together. "You may look like Xavier, but your character is the complete opposite of him. He could never be even one-tenth as nice as you.”

The man chuckled. "That's because he's a b*stard. By the way. I need to remind you about something.”

"Sure. What is it?”

The man's lips formed a smirk as he slowly divulged, "The person in possession of the ID card is guilty of murder, but I have the incriminating evidence that ties her to the act. You are safe and sound as long as I keep it to myself. However, if you dare to betray me. I guarantee I won't show any mercy. Our friendship will mean nothing to me then.”

Shania gaped incredulously. I can't believe I thought he was thoughtfill. He's obviously a sly fox. Never mind. At least I have a place to stay and money to spend.

After pulling the drawer open and seeing the stack of cash inside, she quickly promised. "Don't worry. I won't betray you since we have the same enemy.”

"I'm glad to hear that.” The man gave a curt nod. “I trust you. Ms. Hamilton. I believe you're tired, so you can rest now. I shall take my leave.”

He was about to leave when Shania called out, "By the way. you haven't told me your name yet. Wliat should I call you?”

"In my plan. I don't have a name anymore. You can call me Mr. Fairchild.”
