"Oh, it's no hassle at all!" Wendy waved her hands around. "It's the least I could do."…Marilyn didn't know that Larissa had moved. Thus, Larissa had to go to her old apartment to wait for her before she came.So as to not arouse Marilyn's suspicions, Lewis drove Wendy's car. He waited in a corner.When Marilyn arrived, she called Larissa.Larissa waited around on the first floor. She acted as if she'd just walked out. She ran toward Marilyn hurriedly.Once Larissa was buckled up, Marilyn handed her a McRonald's bag. "It's still so early. You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? I passed a McRonald's and got you something."Larissa did not take it."Thanks, but I ate at home."Larissa didn't dare to eat something so random."What?" Marilyn was stunned. She urged, "Why don't you eat a little? It's still warm. What about some coffee?""It's okay." Larissa was determined. "I had a big breakfast. I'm pretty full.""Fine." Marilyn put the things into the backseat reluctantly.

Her smile was ominous."Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Marilyn turned to look at her darkly. "If I'd known that, I wouldn't have done so many irreversible things. And you wouldn't have to …"She trailed off."Wouldn't have to what?" Larissa asked.But Marilyn refused to answer.She was acting really weird. Larissa began growing panicked."Calm down," she tried advising. "There's nothing you're doing that you can't take back. If you're willing to stop now, I can pretend that nothing ever happened today.""You can do that, but what about before? Can you pretend that I never told my father Blue Star's confidential information? Even if you can, what about Gary and Lewis?"Marilyn refused to let her go. "Since I'll never have Lewis, I'll destroy you all! I will destroy you so that you'll never be able to love anyone again!"The more she spoke, the crazier she got.It was like she'd prepared herself for the end. Larissa knew that she was too far gone to be saved. She had no choic

She used to think that he was a gentle superior. He was strict at work, but on the inside, he seemed caring.He was gentle and patient with Freddy. He would never scold him harshly.At once, Larissa remembered Freddy's odd mannerisms, as well as the time he ran away from home.She trembled.Allen had always been abusing him.What a beast!Their footsteps gradually faded away. Allen's roars and Freddy's sobs soon died down.Allen opened a door. She heard someone's voice.However, they were too far away for her to hear what they were saying.Not long after, the voices grew in volume."Larissa! Larissa!"Larissa could hear those words clearly.It was Lewis! He was here to save her!Larissa was overjoyed. She thumped the floor with all her might to draw their attention."I'm here, Lewis! In the attic on the third floor! Save me!"His harried footsteps drew closer. They finally stopped beneath the attic."Who's in there?" a stranger asked in Aldovian.Allen answered in a pa

He did not force any more questions on Allen. He asked the cop, "Officer, can you get someone over to cut the chain off my cousin?"The officer nodded. "Of course."He took out a walkie-talkie and asked the headquarters for backup."I shall take him away," he said."Good." Lewis nodded. "I'll stay here and wait for the other officers to arrive.""What right do you have to take me away? This is my home! You can't take me away!" Allen struggled violently, but he was subdued by the officer after a while."If you don't want to be shot, you'll have to cooperate." The officer was also about to explode with anger."Wait!" Larissa yelled.The people downstairs looked up."Freddy!" Larissa couldn't go down, so she had to talk to thin air. "That boy! Officer, please take him to the station with you! I suspect that he's been abused by his father all along. On top of that, please check him for signs of abuse!"When the officer heard this, his face grew colder."Kid." He waved at Freddy.

But Allen …Lewis gripped the steering wheel, calming himself down.Larissa suddenly felt guilty."I actually noticed that something was off with Freddy, but I never even considered child abuse." If only she were a little more attentive and alert, then maybe Freddy wouldn't have suffered so much."It has nothing to do with you." Lewis interrupted her thoughts. "Freddy's hardships are all because he has Allen as a father."Larissa pursed her lips and asked, "What do you think is going to happen to Freddy?"Allen would definitely be behind bars, and Freddy's mother had passed away."Will he be sent to an orphanage?""Probably not." Lewis had asked the officers about this before. "Freddy's grandparents are all around. He'll probably be sent to stay with them."Larissa felt a little more relieved."I called the company's legal department. I got them to prepare to sue Moorewell for stealing Blue Star's confidential information," Lewis said.Larissa and Marilyn had talked about th
