From Ashes of Scandals to His Embrace novel Chapter 366

Kinsey’s eyes were fixed on the report, his face tight with worry. When he finally looked up at Laurinda, she looked completely drained. He hesitated, searching for the right words. “The Mafia runs that area. Our people can’t get in. We’ll have to come up with something else.”

Laurinda was already well aware of the risks. She’d come to Kinsey hoping for another solution, not wanting to reveal what she was really capable of.

But now it was clear waiting wouldn’t help. She was out of time. She needed to act fast.

“I’ll handle it myself.”

“You? Didn’t I already tell you to stay away from places like that?” Kinsey jumped up, his voice rising. The memory of Laurinda’s last injury still haunted him. He regretted letting her do anything so dangerous in the first place.

“This time is different. I’ll let Ken know ahead of time.”

Kinsey still looked stubborn, so Laurinda let out a sigh. “Kinsey, we can’t let the Charles family get another chance. We can’t afford to hesitate now.”

Kinsey understood. The organ trafficking case was the most important evidence to take down Bagot. With Aileen suddenly changing her story, things were looking up for the Charles family. If they didn’t find new proof soon, the family really might escape justice.

“But you…”

“I’ll come back safe. I can’t bring anyone official, so I’ll take my own people.”

Hearing that, Kinsey’s face only grew more serious. He knew exactly what Laurinda was walking into.

“Whatever happens, just promise me you’ll come back in one piece.”

“I promise. I’m not going to let anything happen to me this time. I’ll be fine.”

“Where are you headed?”

“Back to Apex. What about you? How much longer are you stuck there?”

Adolphus glanced out at the runway, his brow creasing. “Probably another week. Why are you suddenly going back to Apex? I thought you were helping with something.”

He watched her closely, concern in his eyes. He’d barely had time for her lately and worried something had happened.

“It’s all sorted. Winter break’s over, and since you’re not coming back yet, I might as well go to class for a few days. Take care of your work. Don’t stress about me.”

Laurinda sounded upbeat. Adolphus checked the time and realized the semester was starting. He’d wanted to take her out and have some fun, but things had gotten busy so suddenly he hadn’t even had a chance to be with her.
