Chapter 203 Set a Trap for Steven 4
Seeing me, the man also froze for a moment. He looked at Steven. “What do you want me to do in this
situation?”
Steven, still dripping, frowned at him. “When did I call you?”
“Didn't you say you wanted to talk to me about something? I wasn’t planning on coming, but you said it
was urgent, and said the Lewis family gave me a new assignment.” He frowned at me. “What’s going
on?”
Steven pursed his lips. “I didn’t call you, and the Lewis family didn’t call me.”
The two men froze for a moment, then looked at each other and realized there was something wrong.
As they both looked at me, Steven said, “You did this?”
I stood up from the ground, holding onto the wall, and nodded calmly. “Well, since it’s revenge, sooner
or later, it must be avenged, right?”
Mr. Lee looked at Steven, frowning. “You brought her here?”
Steven nodded, his face grimacing. “Get out of here!”
“Too late!” Leaning against the wall, I spoke, still aching, “You think after all I’ve been through, I’m
gonna let you walk away?”
The middle-aged man slapped Steven hard. He said angrily, “Do you know who she is, you fool? Why
do you have to mess with her? You’re dying.”
“Dennis George is just a businessman. He could put me away for a few days, tops. Why should we be
scared?” Steven said disdainfully, blood streaming from the corner of his mouth. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“Fuck!” The middle-aged man said very anxiously, “Don’t you fucking know she’s fucking nominally
adopted by Link Kennedy at City P? Don’t you fucking know that Link Kennedy was with Mr. Bates
today?”
“What?” Steven was stunned. “Link Kennedy’s nominally adopted daughter?”
Steven hesitated for a few seconds, then looked at me. “Kill her!”
“What! Are you fucking kidding me? You think there's no surveillance in the hotel? You brought a
woman in like this, with no fucking discretion. She was alive when she went in, dead when she came
out. Do you think everyone is stupid?”
Mr. Lee must have been very angry and said breathlessly, “Link Kennedy is so protective, and Dennis
George is so ruthless, Mr. Bates can't protect you. And you got me in the fucking middle of this.”
Steven looked at me, his eyes narrowed. “Clara, I don’t think I’ve done anything to offend you, and I
think I should at least know why you set me up so badly to embarrass me.”
Leaning against the wall, I didn't try to cover up my bruises, but made myself look even worse. “Helping
Jackie is just one of the few reasons. Six months ago, you kidnapped me, and I also accidentally found
out that you were working for Samuel Lewis. Unfortunately, I’m willing to risk my life if I can catch a whit
of bad news for the Lewis family.”
“You’re fucking tough!” Steven had long since lost his swagger.
I didn’t know at first why Steven could walk out of the police station so easily.
His position in AC and the Pearson family could not have done this. Even if they had means and
money, everything had to be done in moderation. Jackie wasn’t stupid. She struggled a few times and
came to me for help only because Steven didn’t rely on A.C. and the Pearson family at all. It was Mr.
Bates he depended on.
Thanks to Jackie for reminding us of this relationship. If she hadn’t told me that Steven was personally
close to Mr. Bates, I wouldn't have thought of that relationship, much less Mr. Bates and Luna Knight.
Dennis brought me to meet Mr. Bates at L Community to get Diana off the hook back then, and Luna
was the one who said that.
Luna just said that, and Mr. Bates did what she said, which meant they were close.
Steven looked at me, still wanting to killing me, then looked at the middle-aged man, “Kill her. Once
she’s dead, we have a better chance of getting off. Surveillance can be handled by Mr. Lewis, who has
power over Link Kennedy.”
The middle-aged man was calm. There was a knock at the door and he bumped into Steven.
He was a little overweight, and Steven instinctively avoided him, so he hit the wall, got a lot of blood on
his forehead, and passed out.
I was stunned and thought to myself that this man was really smart.
“Andy Lee, you!” Steven shouted.
Then a crowd of police and bodyguards rushed in, closing in on them.
Steven was held down by the police. Dennis came in with Link Kennedy and Leo.
Dennis threw his coat over me, his eyes grim.
The last one to come in was the scared Mr. Bates.
He took one look at Steven and, out of anger, kicked Steven in the stomach. “Running roughhouse in
Newton Town, you have no respect for the law.”
Steven was kicked so hard that he would have flown out if he hadn’t been pinned down by the police.
In the hospital.
I was in the hospital bed, and after Dennis had left, Leo wrapped his arms around him and said, “Why
are you using yourself as bait? Aren't you at all afraid of dying?”
I smiled and lifted my hand wrapped in gauze and smiled, “These are just small injuries. Besides, our
goal has been achieved, hasn’t it?”
He sneered. “What are you going to do if Uncle Link and I aren’t in Newton Town? Do you think Steven
would be afraid of a businessman without the power of officialdom?”
I shrugged. “Aren’t you all here? I wouldn’t risk it if you weren’t here.”
After a pause I asked, “What about Steven?”
“Either death or life in prison. He’s killed a few people. No one was in charge of Newton Town before,
so Sam Bates just let go of him. Now that Uncle Link stepped in and reported it all, there’s no way he
got out of there. Sam Bates has been covering for him for years, so he can’t be any better. But you did
put Uncle Link right on the Lewis family’s toes.”
There were too many entanglements for me to see through. But I can kind of imagine Luna and Sam
Bates hanging out so much, there must be a lot going on just financially. If this went on, the rest of the
cover-up would be uncovered, too. They would definitely let Luna leave the Lewis family for the sake of
their foundation.
He looked at me for a long time before saying, “Happy?”
I shrugged. “No, it’s just the beginning. There’s a long way to go.”
Link Kennedy had planned to return as soon as he had inspected Newton Town. I had only just found
out that he was going to have a quick dinner with me before I agreed to Jackie.
But Link Kennedy was busy and didn’t have time, so when Jackie asked me to meet, I said yes.
I took this into account when she asked me for help. Jackie probably wanted to use Dennis’s influence
to keep Steven in jail for a few years, not kill him.
But I was different. If Steven had a way out, he might have killed me later. I had a hand in this, and
when he got out, I would be the first person he was gonna want revenge on.
If I’m gonna help, I’m not gonna let Steven live.
…
I was a little freaked out, and soon after Leo left I fell asleep and vaguely saw someone next to
me.
