Chapter 60: Who Is Trustworthy?
Murmurs filled with fear and anxiety echoed throughout the large room.
The security team quickly used flashlights to check the incident and spoke up to reassure and ask everyone to stay in place and not move around.
– Don’t be scared, I’m here. Samson hugged Lucasta’s waist when he realized she intended to run away.
– Please let me go. Lucasta’s voice became trembling.
She couldn’t see anything, all around was darkness. The hand of the man who was once very close to her now did not bring her a feeling of trust or warmth, but only fear and coldness even though his hand was separated by a thick layer of cloth.
– I’ll talk quickly. Listen carefully, Lucasta, the person who wants to harm you is your uncle. The car accident, the poisoned cake, and the murderer in the hotel were all caused by your uncle. Be careful with him. Samson leaned close to her ear and whispered.
As soon as he finished speaking, the light suddenly came back on. Very quickly, he let her go and stepped back, increasing the distance between them.
He knew clearly that even if he had more time, he still could not convince her to follow him. He just hoped that she would have some trust in him and be wary of William to protect herself.
– Let’s go, the security guards discovered two men fainted in the car. – Harvey walked closer to Samson and said.
Samson’s lingering and sad eyes once again turned towards Lucasta.
She still stood motionless, staring at the two men in front of her.
Who are they? They are vampires, they can approach her anytime they want. She felt extremely frightened.
Until Samson and Harvey had completely disappeared in the crowd, Lucasta still couldn’t move. She felt like her blood had frozen. From the moment Samson touched her, she had this feeling.
– What’s wrong, Lucasta? Why are you standing in the corner like this?
William’s voice suddenly rang out, startling Lucasta. She was shocked when she remembered Samson’s words just now.
If it weren’t for him saving her those times, she probably would have died.
But why did he say her uncle was the mastermind? If William wanted to kill her, why did he take her home?
– Ah, yes, I… I still can’t get used to parties full of strangers. Lucasta quickly answered.
– Then you will get used to it. Let’s go out there, everyone is about to take off their masks and get to know each other.
Lucasta obediently followed William and greeted everyone he introduced.
At this moment, her mind was filled with only Samson’s warnings. Even though she reassured herself that everything he said was probably intended to divide the relationship between her and her uncle, she still felt scared.
The party couldn’t last long when two rich guys woke up and made a fuss, forcing the building’s security staff to find the person who knocked them out and stole the invitation card.
Of course, the party room is the place that needs to be searched first.
But after a while of investigation, they couldn’t find any clues because the two vampires had left a long time ago.
The shiny luxury car drove fast on the road. Lucasta clutched her flowing dress, looking nervously at both sides of the road.
It’s only nearly nine o’clock at night but entertainment venues have already begun to close.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Although recently, the city has been quite peaceful with a rotating group of hunters and police stationed everywhere every night, people are still afraid and they still don’t dare go out when it’s too late.
Around ten o’clock at night, the streets will be deserted, and not a single person will be around except those on duty.
– Fortunately, those two strangers did not harm anyone at the party. This city is becoming more and more unsafe, with criminals running rampant everywhere. William sighed.
Next, William turned to Dr. Henry and told him to prepare two valuable gifts tomorrow to go to the two men’s house to apologize because after all, they were beaten when they came to the party.
As soon as they arrived, Lucasta went into the room and crawled under the covers. She trembled as she remembered Samson and Harvey’s eyes before leaving.
The two pairs of eyes behind those two masks haunted her, she felt like their eyes were surrounding her.
At the same time, on the balcony of the tallest luxury building in the city, Samson and Harvey were enjoying two glasses of fresh blood together.
Looking down from this height, the two guys felt like they were sitting on the Milky Way with countless sparkling stars.
– Do you think she believes what you say? Harvey leisurely took a sip of blood and asked.
– I don’t know. I think I should meet Lucasta one more time. Is there any way for me and her to talk to each other longer? I can’t kidnap her to another place to explain everything and then return her. I’m worried things will get worse.
– That’s right, we can’t rule out the possibility that Lucasta will be psychologically traumatized and go crazy because of fear. You have nurtured her into a fragile crystal vase.
– Because I always thought she would live with me forever in the forest. I thought I didn’t need to teach her to grow up because I took care of everything. Samson sighed.
Everything happened so fast, beyond his imagination and beyond his control. He felt like the terrible time he had just passed was just a dream. In the blink of an eye, everything had changed completely.
The night passes, and the day comes again. As usual, before the sun even appeared, Harvey was already at the office.
To be honest, sometimes when he unintentionally glanced at the sofa, he also felt very missed Lucasta, missed her chubby figure and lovely cheeks every time she drank milk.
– She has changed, those glamorous dresses don’t suit her at all. Harvey muttered while signing the documents.
– Are you talking about Lucasta? Bonita asked.
– Yes. Last night I met her.
– In what way?
Harvey calmly signed a few more documents before recounting yesterday’s story to his close assistant.
He noticed her eyebrows frown but tried to ignore it. He knew she was worried about him, afraid of him revealing his identity, but he had no other choice.
If he hadn’t gone with Samson, what if that vampire, a thousand years younger than him, would have caused trouble and disappeared forever like Vincent?
He doesn’t want to be the last vampire left on Earth. If Samson could break the curse and become human again, which would be another exception, he would feel happy about it.
– Please donate money to William’s charity project. A large sum of money would make him accept a request to meet at his home. Bonita spoke up when she heard Harvey say Samson planned to find a way to meet Lucasta again.
– Yes. I was blinded by Samson, became ignorant, and could not think. Thank you, Bonita.
– Nothing. – She smiled and rearranged the pile of documents.
At this time, Harvey noticed that her wrist had marks and when she moved, he realized that her gait was different, it seemed like she was in pain somewhere.
Curiosity and worry made him unable to stay silent and spoke up right when she was about to leave.
– Bonita, are you injured?
– Why do you ask like that?
Harvey pointed to his wrist and then pointed to Bonita’s leg. If he guessed correctly, she was abused by her husband again.
The day before, she had clearly told him that she had moved out of the house of that abusive, gambling-addicted husband.
– Yesterday, Cole came to school and asked to pick Ricky up to go out, but I didn’t agree and we got into a fight. Bonita bowed her head and replied softly.
– I will kill him tonight.
– Please don’t, Harvey, he’s Ricky’s father, please. That day the police also intervened and he promised not to cause trouble anymore.
Harvey helplessly looked at her red eyes. For him, sending that guy back to the afterlife is as easy as turning a hand and he guarantees that the police will not be able to investigate the culprit.
However, Ricky’s fatherly label protected that scumbag.
– Damn, you better not let me see any more wounds on your body, otherwise, even if he is Ricky’s grandfather, I will still suck his blood. Oh, no, that scum’s blood should just be spilled on the ground.
His hand punched hard on the desk, causing the desk surface to vibrate.
Bonita quickly turned around and left the room. She also felt that she was unlucky when she chose the wrong husband.
If she had known that Cole would degenerate like that, she would have chosen to be a single mother from the beginning.
A heavy day passed and when the sun disappeared behind the buildings, Harvey left his swivel chair and leisurely rearranged the documents.
Just now, Bonita told him that William was very happy when he heard her say that the president of Star Group wanted to donate to a project to help poor patients and he expressed his wish to meet the famous secretive president once.
Of course, Bonita immediately accepted the invitation.
The car sped along the road and soon, Harvey arrived at the apartment. He had to admit that when he opened the door and saw another vampire inside, he felt much warmer.
– I’m worried you’ll run away to find that girl. Harvey said as he took off his shoes.
– I’m not that impulsive. There must be a plan. Samson said while his eyes were still glued to the TV screen.
– Oh, well said. No one falls in love and still retains their reason. But rest assured, in five days we will go to William’s villa to meet Lucasta.
-What are you saying?
Samson looked at Harvey, surprise written all over his handsome face. He didn’t believe that Harvey was more reckless than him.
Could it be that this guy wants to surrender his life?
– We will go there as VIP sponsors.
Samson pursed his lips tightly for a long time. He recognized William as the doctor named Thomas.
Furthermore, he guessed that during the process of searching, verifying, and bringing Lucsta back, William had already seen his face.
In the afternoons when he picked her up at the bus stop and followed her to the restaurant, he didn’t disguise himself at all.
– Harvey, it’s not okay, William is the man who harmed Maris and killed Vincent. And I’m worried he’ll realize that I’m the one who raised Lucasta.
Samson’s words successfully turned Harvey into a block of ice. He was completely frozen, motionless, and wondering what the hell was going on.
Isn’t that damn doctor’s name Thomas? Why did he suddenly become William?
