Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 40

The manager found some pink pills and white powder in the room and showed them to Manley. "Mr. Scott, should we call the cops?"

Noel, who was lying on the ground with his head smashed by a wine bottle, staggered to his feet. "No, don't call the police! Please!"

He was more afraid of the police than anyone else!

"Call the cops!" Manley said coldly, kicking Noel away. "How dare you do drugs in my place? You're asking for it!"

The manager cautiously asked, "What about the surveillance footage? Should I hand it over to..."

"Destroy the footage!" Manley interrupted him, speaking softly. "Destroy any footage with her in it. If the police ask, just say we had a network outage."

The manager didn't know why Manley was doing this but complied anyway.

Manley then called over a waiter. "You will go to the police station later to be a witness. Just say that these people in the room got drunk and started fighting over the money. Understand?"

The waiter nodded, signaling his understanding of the situation.

Given the suspicious nature of these individuals, their arrival at the police station would likely trigger a thorough investigation. There would be plenty for the police to look into.

Before leaving, Manley looked at the wailing group of people in the room. "This girl's got a heavy hand," he thought, then recalled his own beating from before. He couldn't help but smile, thinking she must have gone easy on him after all!

Back in the private room, Manley had the manager transfer the video of Estelle leaving to his phone.

He watched it twice, clearly enjoying it. After the fight, she left with a calm expression, casually taking off her jacket and throwing it in the trash. She looked incredibly cool!

If it hadn't been for their feud, he would have wanted to become friends with her!

But now that he had done her such a huge favor, he had to think about how to get something in return from her!

Ten minutes later, when Jonathan carried Estelle out of the car, she felt boneless and unusually hot.
