Chapter 1713

The man replied, "About 9:00 a.m."

On the other side of the town, in the precinct...

The two officers who had the night shift brought Ean into an interrogation room, and Nollace was
already in the room.

Ean was handcuffed, walked up to the seat across Nollace, and sat down.

"Perhaps, what you said is right."

Nollace glanced at him while tapping on the table with his knuckles.

"You should thank the officers for arriving at the scene in time.Otherwise, you'd be a corpse by now."

Their deal that night was that Ean would become a witness of the case, and he would keep Maggie
safe.

Ean was an accomplice as he had eradicated the evidence of Ken killing Mr.Reese for Ken.

Hence, in order to avoid being wanted by the police, Ken would definitely get Ean to be his scapegoat.

Nollace bet on the fact that Ken would rather trust his own judgment than trust Ean to take the fall for
him willingly.

If he wanted to be safe and sound, Ean must disappear from this world.

As long as Ean was dead, there would no longer be any proof, neither evidence nor witness.



Ken wanted to get rid of Ean secretly, but he did not know that the police had been waiting for them
from the shadows at Ean’s residence—that was why Ean was saved.

"Is Maggie safe?" he asked.

Nollace responded indifferently, "Ken can’t even save his own *ss now.It’s only natural for him not to
have the time to burden himself with how Maggie is doing.My men have transferred her to a safe place,
so don’t worry."

Ean did not utter a single word.

Nollace got up slowly and reassured him, "Don’t worry about it.Although you’re an accomplice, the law
will be more lenient for your crime since you’re willing to testify in court.And I’ve found you a
lawyer.Throughout this lawsuit, I’ll try to ensure that the punishment you take for the crime is the least
you deserve.And Maggie will wait for you to complete your sentence."

Ean lowered his gaze.

"Thank you."

Nollace walked out of the precinct.

The headlights of the car parked in the dark compound were still turned on, and Edison was waiting for
him in the car.

When he got into the car, Edison said, "Ken left his residence with his men.He doesn’t dare to take a
flight openly.It seems that he’s come up with other routes and is planning to escape from the country."

Nollace smirked.

"Did he bring Lara along?"



Edison paused for a few seconds, then looked back at him.

"How do you know?"

Nollace looked out of the dark window.

"Lara owns every single penny of Jonah’s wealth.Would he be willing to leave her behind and throw the
inheritance away?"

Edison frowned.

"But we don’t know the route that he’ll take to escape right now.If we were to really let him escape,
wouldn’t all our efforts be in vain?"

Nollace propped his hand against the side of his forehead and scoffed.

"If he’s bringing Lara with him, not being able to escape successfully is part of his destiny."

At 3:00 a.m., men were guarding the dock to prevent any form of ambush.

Ken stood at the entrance and had already gone through several cigarettes in a row, not daring to close
his eyes all night.He had been keeping himself very vigilant and even turned off his cell phone.He
crushed the cigarette butt with the sole of his shoe and turned back into the room.

Lara immediately hid her hand under the pillow.It looked as if she did not expect him to come in at this
time and was a little panicked.

Ken noticed something, and his eyes turned cold.

"What are you trying to hide?"



Lara tried her best to remain calm.

"Nothing."

"Is that so?"

Ken approached in an instant, and as he was about to lift the pillow, Lara pounced over, intending to
hold it down, but Ken pushed her away.She fell off the bed.

Ken took out a cell phone from under the pillow and saw the content on the messages she had not had
the time to delete, and his face turned gloomy.

Lara, sitting on the ground, shuddered and did not dare look at him.Ken smashed the phone to the
ground, and the screen of the phone shattered.

The sound made her cover her ears and scream, and the men outside were attracted by the noise.

"Sir!"Ken growled.

"Get out!"

The men exchanged gazes in dismay and withdrew out of the room.Ken grabbed Lara’s hair, threw her
onto the bed, and forced her to face him.

"Who do you expect to come here to save you? Nollace Knowles? Are you the one who leaked
everything to him?"
