Chapter 331: I want to hear the truth
“Mr. Vaca, let’s play golf together later …”
Eric grabbed the CEO of the associated company Vaca and headed for the door as he spoke to him.
Before he could wait for Mr. Vaca’s reply, he was suddenly stopped by someone.
The tall figure of Xabat stopped in front of him and he had to look down to see Eric.
He bowed his head, with a cool expression and a hint of coldness in his voice: “Mr Delahoz, our boss has an invitation”.
After saying this, he winked at the men behind him.
The men behind him immediately stepped forward and led Eric towards Severo’s exclusive box.
Soon they reached the door of the box.
Xabat pushed open the door first and said, “Chief, I have brought the man”.
“Come in”.
Severo was looking at his phone, not knowing what he was looking at, with a look of concentration on his face.
After a few seconds, he put the phone down and looked up in the direction of the door: “Get out of here, all of you”.
Xabat stared weakly, what was so important that the boss and Eric had to talk?
Although his heart was in his mouth, he dared not ask, and after ordering someone to throw Eric onto the couch, he led his men out.
After Xabat and his group left, Severo and Eric were the only two people left in the box.
Severo walked over and looked at Eric, who was already a drunken wreck, and said slowly, “Eric”.
Eric was by now eight percent drunk, and the only two moments of sobriety allowed him to recognise the person in front of him as Severo.
“Hiccup!”
He hiccupped before he could utter the rest of his words.
“Severo!”
Severo saw this and showed some contempt on his face, straightened up, and said: “You are still able to say my name, it seems you are still sober now, in that case, then give us an account of what happened back then”.
“What … what … happened?” Eric slumped on the couch , squinting his eyes in confusion.
Severo grimaced, turned around and brought a bucket of cold water he had prepared for himself some time ago, and poured it directly over Eric’s body.
“Clang!”
As he tossed the bucket, Severo’s expression suddenly turned cold, his voice as cold as a thousand years of ice: “About the case of Orlin Delahoz who tried to rape and accidentally killed Ariela Betances!”
Eric had just had a bucket of cold water poured over him, and now his whole body was awake.
He looked at Severo in shock, his eyes averted for a moment and he said in panic: “What is there to answer, it’s a long-standing case, this …”.
“Bang!”
Severo didn’t want to listen to his nonsense and kicked him off the sofa, stepping on his toes.
With that, he looked down at Eric, his voice impatient: “Think before you speak, but your time is limited, but you have ten fingers for me to slowly waste.
Eric’s brow had begun to sweat as he stammered, “What do you want …?”.
Severo didn’t, he just put his foot down.
“Cackle …”
“Ah!”
Immediately afterwards, Eric’s scream echoed throughout the compartment.
Eric, who was not a hard man to begin with, was tortured by Severo so much that he gave in: “I said, I really said …”.
Even after hearing him say that, Severo still didn’t lift his foot, still stepping on his hand in a very threatening way.
“It was at a charity dinner, the upper echelons of Cloud Cit were there, I really didn’t know what was going on with Orlin and that Ariela, when I went to the crime scene, there were already other people there and Ariela was dead … ”
Probably because he was so scared, Eric’s words came out quickly.
As if he was worried that if he were a second slower, he would lose a finger to Severo.
She thought about what Casimiro had said during the day, that Allyce was going to go back to investigate what had happened then, without thinking that she would ask Severo to help her.
Severo was not happy with what Eric had said, his patience ran out and he raised his foot and hooked Eric’s arm and hit him on the other side: “I want the truth”.
There was a loud crunching of bones and Eric’s cry of pain.
“Ah!”
Eric’s features wrinkled in pain and his face looked a little grim: “I said … that what … said is true!”
Severo frowned slightly.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Eric did not seem to be telling a lie.
But, it shouldn’t be.
If even Eric didn’t know the inside story, then who else did?
Severo’s eyes twitched and he asked again: “Where is Orlin?
“He … he …” Eric was about to pass out from the pain, but remembered that Orlin was Severo’s father-in-law if he was still alive.
Seeing Severo’s face turn a few shades colder, Eric gritted his teeth and said, “He died a long time ago, when the case was decided, he died a few days later in jail!”
As soon as he said that, Eric felt the air around him freeze.
Severo said nothing, he didn’t even dare to breathe.
Eric looked at Severo with a trembling body and spoke in a trembling voice: “It was you … who told me to tell the truth …”.
At the time, all the evidence pointed to Orlin, who had caused the death by attempted rape, and the case was quickly closed, and the verdict was quickly delivered.
He also felt a bit confused at the time, Orlin was normally such a decent guy, he couldn’t have done something like that.
But he was happy with the outcome of Orlin’s case – after all, he was the sole heir to the Delahoz group if Orlin left.
Severo stared at Eric for a few seconds with a cold stare before turning and leaving.
Xabat guarded the door with some of his men, and when they saw Severus leave, several of them nodded slightly, respectful and reverent.
“Take care of it.
With those three words, Severo left immediately.
…
By the time he got home, it was already early morning.
First he went to the bedroom to check on Allyce.
Before going upstairs, he took a cup of hot water.
Allyce had a habit of getting up in the middle of the night to drink water.
As she approached the bedroom door and turned on the light, she saw the bed sheets move a couple of times, and then Allyce sat up shakily.
Severo curved his lips and came over with the water, sat on the edge of the bed and brought it to Allyce’s lips.
Allyce drank a large glass of water from her hand, cast a dazed glance at Severo and went back to sleep.
He pulled the covers over himself and growled, “You’re out again?
She had only seen his suit and thought he had gone out in the middle of the night to take care of business, but she had forgotten to lock him in the bathroom earlier.
“Hmm.
Severo replied, setting his glass aside, his face, always expressionless, showing a hint of volatility.
“Allyce, there’s something …”
Severo paused and reached out his hand to give him a gentle push: “Stand up for a moment, I need to talk to you”.
As a result, the person lying in bed did not move.
Were you sleeping?
