Chapter 206 - TRAITOR
Chapter 206 – TRAITOR
"What about Selena? Have you reported it to the authorities?" Lucas asked Adley.
They were sitting on the sofa in the CEO's room. A few days ago, Lucas did ask Adley to report Selena on charges of libel and misconduct. He even asked his best friend to contact a trusted lawyer to thoroughly investigate the case that befell Ellena.
Even though Ellena had been found and returned home, still Lucas couldn't let the bad guys out there roam freely without feeling guilty. Truly he wouldn't let those bad guys have a second chance to hurt Ellena. Whoever it is, Lucas will not remain silent.
"I'm done reporting her and handed all the evidence to the police and Markus." Adley replied casually as he reached for the coffee cup on the table. He took a sip of the drink served by an office boy, then put it back on the table in front of him.
"Good! I can't wait to see her in prison. The snake woman doesn't seem to be worthy of pity. I have to move quickly, before she rules in this country. Ah, but that's very unlikely." Lucas said with a scornful gaze fixed on him. any direction.
"The police are still trying to investigate the report I submitted and also about the authenticity of the photos, as well as Mr. Mark who is also still trying to confirm and collect some other supporting evidence. After all that is clear and proven, maybe Selena will be arrested soon," said Adley. serious and managed to distract his friend.
"Yes, hopefully as soon as possible. I can't wait to get back to all the pain my wife has experienced." Lucas replied.
"But we have to be careful. I don't think Selena is a stupid person. She couldn't have done all that herself. What I'm worried about is that she's working with other people to ruin your life," replied Adley, who had long suspected the matter.
"Yeah, you're right. I think she was behind Ellena's abduction as well." Lucas heeded Adley's words.
In fact, Lucas had suspected Selena for a long time and even instinctively said that Selena was working with Michelle to take revenge on him.
It would be really funny, if his guess was right. It was the two women who had bravely hurt Lucas and now they themselves wanted revenge. Shouldn't Lucas be the one taking revenge, not the other way around.
"I thought so too. I hope our guess is not wrong this time and all crimes will be exposed soon," replied Adley.
Before Lucas had time to respond, Lucas' cell phone suddenly rang and Lucas quickly received the call that was listed on his cellphone screen.
"What?" Lucas suddenly widened his eyes when he just heard a voice on the other side.
"Okay, thanks for the information." Lucas said as he tried to contain his sudden rise in emotion after receiving the call.
He then hung up the phone and gripped the flat object tightly, as if trying to vent his anger.
This immediately distracted Adley's attention. He seemed to be lifting his gaze, as if he was questioning what had happened. Like Lucas, Adley was surprised when Lucas had just informed him of the latest information from the police station. His eyes widened as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard.
Not wanting to be struggling with thoughts for too long, Lucas and Adley immediately decided to immediately go to the police station, to confirm the information.
Lucas stepped in haste as soon as he got word that Alex was waiting for him in front of the office. His hands seemed to be clenched into fists with a firm jaw, indicating that he was under the influence of bubbling anger.
A few minutes ago he did ask Alex to come back to the office immediately, after two days Alex was busy with business outside the city. This time Lucas asked the man to see him immediately under the pretext of going to the police station.
Meanwhile, Adley seemed to be walking beside Lucas with rhythmic steps. No less, he also put on a grim and tense face, as if the information a few minutes ago made the two of them really angry.
How difficult it is for them to contain the anger that is raging in there. However, they tried their best.
Lucas and Adley quickened their pace as they crossed the glass office building's main doorway. From a distance they could clearly see the figure of Alex who was standing next to Lucas's car.
Alex immediately opened the car door, as soon as he found his boss who was only a few meters away from him. Instead, his boss responded positively to his efforts, but on the contrary.
Alex immediately fell down on the car, just as a raw bogem landed on his cheek. Surprised? Yes, of course he was surprised. How not, when suddenly his boss hit him for no apparent reason, of course he questioned it.
Lucas' hit really made Alex feel angry. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in anger. How could he look normal when he was treated like that, to leave bloodstains on his lips. Not to mention the few people who were witnessing this scene right in front of their eyes. Really, his self-esteem seemed to just collapse.
Alex wiped the blood at the corner of his lips while feeling pain all over his face. Yes, a strong blow from Lucas' hand, no doubt made his face feel sore in just seconds. He fiddled with his tongue in his mouth, pushing his cheek from the inside, just trying to calm the pain.
However, not yet finished with his activities, Lucas had first pulled the back of his shirt and made him turn around. Again and again, a strong impact now landed on his stomach, causing his body to bend down and swing back slightly.
"Ah!" Alex sighed in pain as the blow landed on his stomach again. Even he seemed unable to fight, because he already felt pain in several parts of his body.
"How dare you betray me, you bastard!" Lucas shouted and then hit Alex again with punches, still in the stomach.
It was clear how sick Lucas was to see his personal assistant's face. The person he had trusted so much for the past few years, actually dared to betray him.
I don't know what the motive behind Alex's crime was, so he dared to do such a bad thing to Ellena. Doesn't that mean he's looking into things with his own superiors?
Lucas had no idea that Alex was the mastermind behind Ellena's kidnapping. So, should he just be silent knowing that fact? Only a fool would allow a two-faced person like Alex to get off the hook like that.
"You know what? This is payback for a traitor like you. I will never forgive you!" Lucas growled with a hand ready to strike another blow in Alex's face.
"Tell me! What did I do to you that you have the heart to betray me like this, huh?" Lucas sarcasm in a voice so loud it's deafening.
"Are you mad at me? Tell me! Don't take revenge on my wife, Traitor!" Lucas shouted again incessantly cursing Alex.
meanwhile there was no resistance from Alex in the slightest, as if he was justifying Lucas' accusations against him that he had indeed betrayed.
"Stop it, Lucas!" shouted Adley trying to break up his friend who was being overcome by emotions. As a result, Lucas just hung his hands in the air and refused to hit Alex.
Lucas turned to Adley with a look full of anger and a slightly ragged breath, without lowering his hands from the air.
"He's going to die like this, Brother," Adley said, grabbing Lucas' hand and lowering it.
"Just let him die! He deserves to die quickly!" said Lucas unconcerned.
"We'd better give him a chance to breathe and live his gloomy life in captivity. I think that would be more fun for us. Ah, even thinking about it, I'm already feeling happy, especially if I saw it in person. we are this one. Isn't that right, my friend?" A punch in Alex's stomach landed again from Adley's hand.
Alex slumped limply, a sign that he was no longer strong enough to take the barrage of attacks on his stomach, and he even had liquid coming out of his mouth due to the strong impact.
Adley took Alex's body from Lucas' hand, then lifted the corner of his lips to form a bitter grin on his face. His gaze was cynical and focused, as if he wanted to clearly show his angry expression.
"You're so kind, Alex, that we couldn't even guess that the real criminal was you! It's true that the person with the most potential to betray is the closest person, so feel the retribution for all your actions!"
"Arrgh!"
For the second time, Adley punched Alex in the stomach without pause three times, causing the man to groan with his limp body.
"You want to die? Just die! Even I am willing to spend my life in prison, as long as you die by my hands!" growled Adley with growing anger.
It seemed that his efforts to stop Lucas were not merely to relieve his friend's anger, but his hands were itching to give revenge to those who had dared to betray his best friend. He didn't expect that Alex would dare to do such a thing to Lucas, who had obviously given a lot of help.
Seeing Adley who was so eager to defend him, Lucas stepped back again, giving Alex another hit. Until now Alex's body seemed to float from Lucas's hand to Adley's hand in turn. Even Alex seems to have no power to make a sound anymore.
However, Lucas and Adley still weren't satisfied, even though they saw Alex who was already messed up as if he had no life.
"This is the recompense for the one who dared to betray me!" Lucas snapped, grinning sarcastically.
"Stop!"
Their activities stopped when suddenly a baritone voice echoed and managed to distract them.
Four policemen lined up a few meters from them.. Lucas and Adley reflexively lowered their hands, stopping the activity even though they weren't satisfied yet.
