Chapitre 162: Not A Trap?

"This is not a trap. We have the same goal."

As Lara stood there, unsure of the man with Demetri Frost's face, Erasmi spoke calmly, his tone oozing confidence, "I know you must have many questions, but do you really need the answers? We have a common goal. You want to end Nora and I want to end my enemy. Only then can I get my rightful place back. So...trust me."

Lara Anderson hesitated, her distrust warring with her desperation. Her mind raced as she considered the implications of this unusual alliance with this strange man. She'd already guessed his intentions to replace himself with Demetri once the man was dead.

In the end, the urgency of the situation and the possibility of future gains swayed her and she conceded," Fine. But you better not be lying to me."
