Chapter 340
“Fred Thomson saw me on the road when I went out to get you some breakfast. He honked at me,
trying to ost me.” Stanley Batton said.
“I had the drug that you prepared for mest night in my pocket. Therefore, I got into his car and
followed him to a hotel.”
“Then, I added that drug into his ss. His body reacted to it as soon as he drank it, and he started
to work it out on his own.”
“I called the police when he was done, telling them that he…well…” that word was stuck at the edge
of his lips.
He paused for a while and continued to describe the incident to her in earnest. “After that the police
came to gather some evidence. After they collected the sample of body fluids Fred left behind, the
police took both of us to the police station.”
“Later on, I exined the whole incident at the hotel to the police. I also submitted the video of you
and Georgie being tortured by Fred in the dark room to them. Subsequently, he was taken into
custody and everything went smoothly.” Stanley added.
He felt disgusted when he thought of the video.
“Stan, the police had arrested Fred temporarily for now but he will be releasedter if his father and
uncle interfere with the case. There’s another important step in my n that I didn’t tell you about…
Listen.”
“If we want Fred’s father and uncle to stay out of this, we have to threaten them with the video we
have of Fred. To make a mountain out of a molehill and expose Fred, or sending Fred into jail forContent ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
the rest of his life, I believe they will prefer thetter. After all, if we make a big deal out of the
incident, Fred won’t simply be imprisoned for life but he will be sentenced to death.” X continued.
“I’ve settled everything.” Stanley said.
“Are you serious?” X was dumbfounded.
“Yeah…Everything’s settled. Don’t worry about it.” Stanley replied calmly.
“You went to negotiate with Fred’s father and uncle? How did you do it in such a short period of
time? And that video, I didn’t give it to you, did I?” X asked.
“Anyway, everything’s done. All you have to do is keep your mind at ease and wait for Fred’s
verdict.” Stanley smiled.
“You copied the video from Fred’s phone after I fell asleep? And then, you went straight to his father
and uncle right after everything that happened at the hotel and police station? You managed to
persuade them? Do you have to be so bold?” X’s mind was racing and this was the only
possibility she could think of.
No matter what, she felt extremely happy and relieved as everything went well as she wished.
This man, sitting right in front of her was rising higher and higher up the ranks in her heart.
Some people might be walking on the dirtiest path but they could be doing the bravest and most
righteous things.
“Let’s not talk about that anymore.” Stanley said while taking the freshly peeled apple from Henry’s
palm and handling it over to X. “Have you eaten breakfast yet?”
“Nah, I don’t have time for breakfast. I’ve been worrying about you and I have no appetite at all.”
X told him.
“I guess you really do care about me.” the corner of Stanley’s lips curved up slightly once again.
X’s heart clenched and her face flushed faintly. “Who cares about you? It’s normal to worry about
my friends, what’s wrong with that?”
“Yes yes, you’re right on all counts.” The grin on his face was getting more obvious.
“Beautiful X, you must be proud of yourself. No one ever made our Stan to sacrifice so much.”
Henry teased while crossing his legs.
X smiled and looked at Stanley. “Stan, thank you so much for everything. You’ve done a lot.”
“It’s nothing. I’m going down to buy you breakfast.”
“You haven’t told me about how you persuaded Fred’s father and uncle!”
“We’ll talk about itter.”
As he ended the conversation, he stood up and stroked her hair gently before he turned away and
left the ward.
X stared at Sebastian Brenand and asked, “Were you there when he negotiated with the
Thomsons?”
