Chapter 183
At the Lithern Club’s underground cellar. six men had been beaten up badly.
Their faces had already become swollen like leavened bread, but they did not dare to cry out in pain.
Hackett and Frank were playing cards. Both of them had cigarettes in their mouths and the cigarette smoke was curling upward Hackett called out, “A pair of aces. Do you call or fold Otherwise, I’ll go first
Immediately after that. Frank silently threw a pair of twos and crushed Hackett. Hackett was so angry that he felt knotted up inwardly. He cursed and swore. “Fuck! You clearly have the cards, but you still have that constipated look. You’re bluffing
me.”
Frank disagreed and said, “Then am I supposed to show my hand? What does it have to do with my facial expression if your brain isn’t good?”
Hackett was about to scold Frank back when he heard the sound of footsteps made by leather shoes. The two guys knew who it was from the rhythm of the footsteps without even turning around.
Who else could it be but Trevon?
Frank did not even raise his head. He teased, “Why did you ‘cum’ so early? Do you have performance anxiety
Hackett stopped playing when he heard that. He turned around and observed Trevon’s expression. He did not find any signs that Trevon had been squeezed dry. He said in a forthright manner, “Mr. Wilson, did Mrs. Wilson not allow you to get into her bed
In a sort of bumbling way, Hackett’s guess was half accurate. Trevon did get into her bed but he did not get laid. A look as sharp as an icy blade flew toward Hackett. “You have a lot of free time.”
When the two guys saw Trevon’s expression and tone, they understood everything. It meant that he didn’t succeed. Based on their understanding of Trevon, if he had succeeded, he would be bragging now.
Recently, Hackett’s temper had been getting worse. This guy wanted to win over his wife, yet he squeezed Hackett into this hole. “You can’t tell whether I have free time? Am I as free as you?”
Hackett could tell from Trevon’s expression that his desires were not fulfilled. Coincidentally, Hackett himself didn’t have hist desires fulfilled either and he was staying in a hotel furthermore. He was feeling downright depressed.
Trevon glanced at the six people tied up securely on the ground. He walked over and kicked Hackett’s chair. “Are you itching for a beating?”
Hackett replied, “My entire body is itchy. Why don’t you scratch it for me?” The most itchy spot was his heart. Who could understand him?
Frank was not interested in playing cards with this fool anymore. He threw away the cards in his hand and looked at Hackett in disdain. Then, he raised his eyebrows at Trevon. “Why don’t the two of you go outside and help each other settle your urges before coming back?”
An image flashed across Hackett’s mund instantly. It was the image of him helping Trevon and Trevon helping him. It was a little dirty. Hackett shook his head non-stop and scolded Frank. “Fuck! You’re a pervert.”
Trevon did not respond to Frank’s taunt. His expression changed as he buried the secret in his heart. Hackett had exposed Trevon’s matter the moment Trevon arrived. Now, Frank had implied that Trevon had resolved the matter himself in the morning. It was very embarrassing. He definitely could not let these two fellows find out the truth.
If it weren’t for the fact that the apartment belonged to Natalie, he would have suspected that the two of them had installed surveillance cameras at his place. Their guesses were spot on.
There was no need to mention how annoyed Trevon felt inwardly. He pulled a stool and sat down at the long bar counter. The wine cellar of Lithern Club was very big. A collection of rare wines from various vintages was lined up to the top of the wine rack, and there was a long bar counter in the middle of the cellar.
Trevon took Frank’s pack of cigarettes from the table, took out a cigarette, and lit it. His slender fingers held the cigarette butt as the thin smoke curled upward. He said softly. “What did they reveal?”
Frank casually threw the information on the table to Trevon and sand in a mocking tone, “The mastermind is your ex-wife’s stepmother, but the person she hired has been changed. The first group thought that the price she offered was too low, so the leader used his connections and randomly found another group of people to take over. The middleman’s fees have been covered up”
This was the first time Trevon had heard of such a weird deal. The tip of his nose snorted in disdain and he asked, “How much did she pay? Who did she want to hire at first?”
Frank yawned until droplets of tears appeared in his eyes. “She wanted to use 200,000 dollars to hire a hitman to take your ex-wife’s life.”
Frank leaned languidly against the back of the chair. He blinked his eyes and yawned repeatedly. He was extremely sleepy. This price is decades old. However, the murderer who went after your son is not them. That trail has gone cold. The truck

Hackett felt very resentful, but when he raised his head and saw Frank, he felt much better. He said shamelessly, “Mr Roberts, do you feel envious when you is paired up with partners”
Frank rolled his eyes. In just a second, be spat out a seathing retort from las mouth that pierced Hackett’s heart like a sharp blade “Envious that you have a home but cant go back, or envious that you’re still staying in a hotel and still on probation? “Fuck!

Trevon walked outside and gave Natalie a call After waiting for a few seconds, no one answered the call. Just as he was about to terminate the call, the phone was picked up. A voice that made his heart race rang out “Hello”
Trevon’s lips curled up “What are you doing?”
Natalie wanted to answer he was asking the obvious, but she eventually said, “What’s the matter?”
There was no change to Trevon’s expression. He said without shame, “I miss you”
Natalie was caught off guard and her heart skipped a beat. She remained silent for a long time Trevon lowered his phone and glanced at it Natalie was still on the line. He said in a cheeky manner, “I won’t tease you anymore. It’s true that I muss. you, but it’s also true that I have something to tell you. The people we caught last night were hired by Elena Foster. What do you plan to do Ill follow your wishes”
Natalie tone was filled with hatred as the said firmly, “I want her to pay with her life”
Trevon said. “She didn’t bare the guy who caused the truck crash It was someone else but she hired those people last night” Afraid that she would be anxious, he added, “Don’t worry I will investigate I will also strengthen my protection for my son Leave everything

A trace of a smile flashed across Trevon’s eyes. He was proud of her and filled with affer tion for her. He liked her vengeful personality, and he loved her for it “Okay I’ll pick you up after work.”
