Facade of Love

Chapter 474 What Are Your Concerns?

Idris was asking me why.

I did not know how to tell him about the Youngs, but I knew deep down that one day, he would find out.

I took a shallow breath and said, "In addition to the reasons I just mentioned, I also don't want him to go crazy and harm people in Lake City.” "Harm people?" He raised an eyebrow, squinting slightly. "Are you afraid he'll harm me?"

I wanted to deny it, but I did not know how to respond when I met his gaze.

Seeing this, he furrowed his brow slightly and said, "Yvette, what are you hiding from me?”

I hesitated for a moment, then instinctively said, “What could I possibly hide from you? I'm just worried..."

"Yvette, don't take me for a fool time and time again, will you?" He walked up to me, looking at me and continued, "When Officer Jackson died, you knew that Charlie was Lucas, but you told me you loved him and wanted to leave Lake City to marry him. Now, what excuse do you want to use to make me let you go?"

I was at a loss for words, and my heart sank. He grabbed my arm and looked at me, saying, "Yvette, tell me. what are you really afraid of?"

I should not be the one to bring up the Youngs’ matter. I looked at him, took a deep breath and said, "Idris, Lucas can't stay in Lake City for too long. The police can't touch him here. If he stays in Lake City, he's like a bomb ready to explode at any moment. Do you understand?"

"So, what do you want to do? Deceive him into taking you away and let this bomb return to the border to do as he pleases?" He looked at me, his face darkening slightly. "Yvette, do you think that by following him and being by his side, you can find an opportunity to kill him? Where did you find the confidence to believe that a powerless woman like you can seduce and kill a devil with that much blood on his hands? Hmm?"

His questioning left me speechless. He was right. Maybe Lucas had feelings for me, but he only saw me as a pet that had caught his eye. When he came looking for me, it was only with the persistence of a man pursuing his prey. Once time passed, he would naturally grow tired of me. If I followed him to the border, the most likely outcome for me would be the same Ollibery men

However, there was another possibility. I could kill Lucas before he grew tired of me, but I would probably end up dead too, knowing my strength.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

I knew all of these outcomes well. Nevertheless, I wanted to take that risk even if there was only a one-in-a-million chance of succeeding. My life should have ended five years ago, anyway.

Looking at Idris, I became more resolute in ny decision. I said, "Idris, even if there's only a one in a million chance, (will still choose this path: Both yau and I are aware that aS ongcas Lucas remains in Lake-City and-as long as he's alive, we “can't ivé peacefully."

Lucas would eventually come after dris. He aad been humiliated in 2 acamer's open sea, and he would not let it slide. His return had e purpose, and it involved all oftus. Not just Officer Jackson, but everyone!

"But what if he dies?" Idris spoke, his handsome face taking on a darker, almost bloodthirsty, expression I hesitated, momentarily not grasping the meaning of his words, and stared at him blankly.

He looked at me, his black eyes deep, and said, "You're right, no one can touch him. But Yvette, killing him doesn't necessarily require going to the border. People can die in Lake City too."

I furrowed my brow, frozen with confusion. I simply could not fathom his words. Ring, ring, ring... At that moment, Idris's phone suddenly vibrated.

He released me and turned to answer the call, presumably from Ensio. I was too far away to hear what they were saying, and my mind was still occupied with his earlier words.

Killing him did not. necessarily require going to the border. People could die in Lake City too. Suddenly, it clicked in my mind, and I widened my eyes, staring at him

Idris was still on the phone when he noticed me looking at him. He had a calm expression and told the person on the other end, “Just wait for now. We'll find an opportunity later.”

Then, he hung up the phone

I gazed at him my voice slightly hoarse as I said, "Idris, murder is illegal, and you know it. We all want him dead; but even so, the polices can't tauch him. If something & happens to him in Lake City, fwill be eve more complicated that we itffagine.”

Lucas had another identity as a prominent Silvana billionaire. If something were to happen to him, it would escalate into an international issue Idris raised his hand and gently ruffled my hair, smiling faintly. He said, “Don't worry. I know what to do."

I wanted to say something more, but he looked at me and added, "Yvette, you still haven't told me what your concerns really are.”
