Chapter 942 The Male Lead Can Only Be Me
Luke got Gale to find several bodyguards that Riley was not familiar with. They wore masks and lurkedwithin the hospital with prop knives.
In the next examination, Johann told Riley that she should walk around to aid in her recovery, and healso told her that she could be discharged in two days.
Riley could not wait to be free from that closed environment. She begged Rain to let her take a walk inthe garden downstairs.
Rain initially refused her request, as the plan dictated.
Then, Riley name-dropped Bianca, which made Rain comply.
Rain pretended that she was helpless against Riley's request. She arranged two bodyguards who werein the plan to escort her.
Riley went downstairs with the bodyguards. She was happy but remained cautious, wearing a mask sothat she would not be recognized.
The bodyguards that were lying in wait pretended to harm her. To make her not suspect anything, theyhad to injure her a little.
They bumped into Riley's forehead, though her bodyguards managed to fend off the two pretendvillains.
After suffering from the shock, Riley thought that Melissa had sent those two bodyguards to kill her andbegged Rain for help.
Rain said that she only acted under Luke's orders, and she was under no further obligation to carry outany of Riley's requests.
Riley could understand the implications in Rain's words, so she agreed to cooperate. She called thepolice to record her statement and told them everything in detail.
After Bianca heard all that, she gently rubbed Luke's chin. Luke's beard stubble tickled Bianca'sfingers.
She should have known that Luke did something behind the scenes and shattered Riley's hope thatsomeone else would save her.
"If one day you decide to retire as a CEO, you can become a scriptwriter," Bianca joked.
Luke grabbed her hands and said jokingly, "Alright, then you can be the female lead." "If that's thecase, won't you have to hire a male lead for me?" Bianca gazed at him. Her eyes were brimming withlove.
"The male lead can only be me." Luke hugged her and planted an overbearing kiss on her lips.
Bianca responded to the kiss by pouring all her passion and love into it.
Melissa sat on the couch in the Lerche residence, browsing her phone for news. The assassinorganization had not contacted her for a while, so she could only find information about Riley online.
She suspected that Luke and Bianca had hidden Riley somewhere. Despite engaging in the services ofa private detective agency, she had not managed to find Bianca's whereabouts.
Bianca seemed to have completely disappeared from A City. The only thing she found was that Biancahad appeared at a police station once, but that was not because of Riley.
With no other solution, Melissa could only issue a bounty online.
Melissa was angry and frustrated that she had no clue where Bianca was. When she prepared to godownstairs, her phone suddenly rang.
A string of random numbers showed up on her phone screen. She quickly headed back to herbedroom, closed the door, and answered it.
"How inefficient can you get? To think that I've paid you money for this! I want to raise a complaint! I'llexpose you on the Internet!" Melissa yelled into the phone to express her dissatisfaction.
She had been happy but apprehensive over that period.
She was happy that Bianca's reputation in A City was in tatters. On the other hand, she wasapprehensive that Riley and her assassin had gone missing, and the assassin organization could notfind any leads.
The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds." Ms. Lerche, instead ofcomplaining here, why not spend the time to figure out how to cover your *ss?" He sounded quitehostile.
"What do you mean?" Melissa thought that the assassins wanted to take revenge against her.
"Go look at the Twitter account of your target, then come and talk to us." The man gave her a reminderto make up for the fact that the assassins were not able to finish the job.
He ended the call, and Melissa could only hear the busy tone from the phone after that.novelbin
She sat down on the couch and opened the Twitter app.
She had known Riley's Twitter handle from a previous investigation. When she entered the name, shesaw that there was a new update.
It was a video, too.
After Melissa watched it, she could not help but curse, 'That b*tch!"
Riley had announced that the person who harmed her was not Bianca Rayne but Melissa Lerche. Atthe same time, she was safe under Luke Crawford's protection, and she had given her statement to thepolice.
‘The police...’
Melissa suddenly understood that the call from the assassin organization was to tell her to run away.
'That b*tch Riley has already informed the police. The police will be here soon.'
Melissa tossed her phone aside. “No, they can't arrest me."
She quickly stood up, took out her suitcase from the closet, stashed several clothes inside, found herID and passport, and prepared to lay low overseas.
The servant knocked on her room door. "Are you inside, Miss?"
Melissa zipped up her suitcase and told the person outside the door, "I'm here. Get the driver toprepare the car. I want to go out for a bit."
As she said that, she walked toward the bedroom door and opened it.
When she saw the police officers behind the servant, she dropped the suitcase and fell sitting down onthe floor.
The servant quickly helped her up. "What's wrong, Miss?"
Melissa struggled to get to her feet and pretended to be confused. "Who are they? Why are they here?""The police are here to look for you, Miss. They said that they need your cooperation in aninvestigation." The servant did not check the Internet, so she did not know that Riley had reappearedand accused Melissa of being the mastermind.
"And you believe them? You're so silly to let those impostors in!" Melissa glared angrily at the servant.
She did not expect that the police would come to look for her so fast!
How was she going to escape?
Melissa's head spun. She was not going to outrun those police officers.
'What can I do...'
The police officers flashed their badges. "We are real police officers, Ms. Lerche. We are suspectingthat you have harmed Ms. Riley. Please cooperate with us for the investigation." "Nonsense! I don’tknow who Riley is! Also, you must have faked your badges! Quick, call the police!" Melissa pinched theservant and tried to remain composed.
"Ah!" The servant shrieked in pain. She hesitated as she looked at the police officers in front of her.Should she call the police?
Would they blame her if they turned out to be real police officers?
"There's no need, Ms. Lerche. If you don't cooperate, then we'll have to bring you back by force." Apolice officer took out a pair of handcuffs.
In despair, Melissa thought of an idea. She shrieked in agony, closed her eyes, and fell on the floor.
"Miss!" The servant was shocked and quickly supported her.
