Chapter 115: Do It Your Way
“All right, turn it off and pretend we never saw it. If Jeremiah finds out, we wouldn’t even know how he’d silence us.”
Casimir pulled out the flash drive. Beneath Samuel’s dark brown, tousled bangs, a pair of black eyes seethed with anger.
“Hand the flash drive over to the police. Let’s get this scumbag locked up to prevent him from harming innocent people any further.”
Casimir analyzed. “You make it sound so easy. If you manage to get him in there… I, Casimir Sutherland, will eat my shoes. He’s an international criminal involved with numerous countries, including Musmeynia, and even international terrorist organizations. If anything were to happen to him, there would be plenty of people ready to protect him! Besides, how can you be so sure that the Lorimer family wasn’t involved behind the scenes? It could just be the tip of the iceberg!”
“What do we do then! We have proof of his crimes, yet we can’t touch him!” Samuel, unable to accept the situation, slammed his fist on the table. “Raylee must have seen the information in here about him. She knows full well that he’s a ruthless, cold-blooded killer, a complete psychopath, yet she still chose to marry him! She’s gone mad. She truly has!”
Casimir stated meaningfully, “She isn’t mad; she’s just different from you. You grew up in a sheltered environment, a rich kid who never experienced hardships. Meanwhile, she spent four years in prison. She’s experienced the harsh realities of society. Isn’t there a saying? The most dangerous place is often the safest. I’m beginning to understand what she meant by taking a gamble. She’s staking her future on the most dangerous person!”
“Why on earth would she gamble like this? Betting her future on such a lowlife, isn’t that just setting herself up for failure?” With a huff, Samuel declared. “No way, I can’t possibly let her marry that scumbag! I’m going to whisk her away abroad!”
Casimir frowned and said, “Aren’t you being childish? She’s a full-grown woman; how do you plan on whisking her away?”
“Then I’ll go tell Grandma! Right now, only Grandma has the ability to keep her in check.”
Samuel was about to leave when Casimir grabbed him. “Hold on. I have a plan.”
“What plan?”
The two of them had a thorough discussion. When he left the study, he happened to run into Raylee hurriedly returning.
“Did any of you happen to find a black flash drive that I lost?” With a stern expression, she demanded. “Give it back to me!”
“No, I haven’t even seen the flash drive you’re talking about,” Samuel denied. Even if it was pointless to hand the information inside to the police, he wanted to keep it. Though it wasn’t needed at the moment, it might come in handy in the future.
Without wasting time on small talk, Raylee barged into the study. Upon seeing the computer still on, she instantly understood that they had accessed the information in the flash drive.
Furious, she snapped, “Don’t you guys have any decency? Snooping around other people’s stuff without their consent!”
Casimir spoke with a solemn expression. “You swiped the flash drive from East Aploth, didn’t you? Does Jeremiah know about this?”
“Is there even a need to ask that? Of course, he doesn’t know. If he did, she would’ve been silenced long ago!” Samuel then added with concern, “Raylee, could you please keep your distance from him! Jeremiah is an extremely dangerous individual. If you fall into his hands, even death would be a luxury. He is nothing short of a complete demon!”
Kaylee pulled out the flash drive, her face expressionless as she looked at the two men.
“From this point forward, I am the Terminator of Demons.”
After she finished speaking, she didn’t waste any more words. She simply picked up the flash drive and left.
Gazing at her resolute departing figure, Samuel clenched his fists in frustration.
“What a crazy woman! Caz, let’s do it your way. I refuse to believe we can’t deal with her?”
The following day, Kaylee took the initiative and paid a visit to the Lorimer family. Layla personally attended to her, expressing a deep sense of remorse.
“Ray-Ray, I’ve come to know about Jeremiah kidnapping you to East Aploth. I had wanted to visit you in the hospital much earlier, but I was too ashamed to show up. Both my brother and I owe you an apology.”
Faced with Layla’s apology, there was no discernible emotion on Raylee’s face. She used to think Layla was a decent person, but now, it seemed she and her brother were just cut from the same cloth. This included Tiffany, who personally sent her to prison four years ago. Not a single person from the Lorimer family was good!
“Where is Jeremiah?” Raylee asked indifferently.
“He’s still resting in his room. My father was really angry with him for bringing you to East Aploth and for imprisoning Samuel. He gave him a good thrashing to teach him a lesson.”
“Call him out here.”
No sooner had Raylee’s words fallen than the wickedly arrogant voice of Jeremiah rang out.
“Ray-Ray, were you looking for me? Did you miss me? My dear fiancée…”
Just hearing the voice without seeing the person, Raylee was reminded of her experience in East Aploth. A deep-rooted fear began to emanate from her. Fear swept through her like a bone-chilling wind, piercing her to the marrow and almost bringing her to her knees.
