Malcolm panicked on the other side of the phone as he heard what Kate said. "Ms. Miller, please…I beg you! Please save me!"
He was squatting among the bushes behind the street while wearing a thin trench coat. He looked at the people going in and out of the mansion he lived in as his gaze frantically darted around.
There was once a time he used to be a famous and influential person in Merchant City. After he conspired against Luna and Joshua, his family degenerated to the point he had to flee to Saigen City and became a no-name man.
He regretted it deeply, but most importantly, he was scared. At this moment, he finally knew what he did wrong. Other than Kate who did not give a shit about him, there was no one else he could get help from.
He bit his lip and spoke humbly, "Ms. Miller, I…I'll do anything that you request, so please help me. I can't let Joshua and Thomas catch me. After all the things I did in the past…they'll kill me!"
Kate cackled upon hearing the evidently afraid Malcolm. "You know this would happen, so why did you do it? If you weren't cruel to them, they wouldn't have attempted to find you and kill you when you ran away here. You asked for this."
Malcolm was stunned. After a while, he curled up his lips and smiled.
"That's right, I ask for this myself. However… Ms. Miller, I hope you think about it for yourself too. You also did many things to Joshua, Luke, and the others…so your ending won't be any better than mine."
From their conversation and Kate's tone, Malcolm could tell Kate did not care about him at all. She never treated him as a partner. To her, he was not even worthy to be her subordinate or her dog.
At this rate, he did not need to please her anymore.
"I had only offended Joshua, Luna, and perhaps Thomas too, but you, Kate Miller? You offended Luke, Joshua, and everyone else. I'm eager to see your ending."
After that, he hung up the phone.
