章節 228: An Unlikely Partnership

[Adrian's POV]

Their hot exchange of spiteful words came to a sudden halt at Raymond's last statement. Adrian and Nick looked at each other before their gaze snapped back at the younger man. He had always felt something was amiss with Russell, but he didn't expect it to be as bad as to have someone's death involved. His resentment towards Russell was replaced with dread. "What... What do you mean by that?"

Raymond's eyes darted from side to side, looking ready to bolt out of the room. He pushed Nick's hand away from his chest and went for the door. "I said nothing. Forget I ever said anything."

"That doesn't sound like nothing." Adrian followed him downstairs with Nick in tow. Their conversation can't just end like that after Raymond dropped such an important detail. He grabbed him by the shoulder and spun him around, pushing him against the wall by the stairs. "Damn it! What do you know? Get his girlfriend killed? What does it mean?"
