51: SCORPION’S RETURN

ARIEL’S POV

“You need to chill, alright? I didn’t kill Blake, or whatever his name is. I just handed him to the cops.”

“You’re still doing that?” I asked.

Luke halted and turned around. “Yeah.” He left the room after that.

I sighed, shaking my head, and then I lay on the bed. I have to say, today was actually a wonderful day. What even happened to Foster, by the way?

“Sir, it’s Fiona. Please come home.” That was one of my maids talking on the phone.

“Why? What’s the problem?” I asked in curiosity.
