Chapter 432 I Only Want The Truth (Part One)


    "Leo? Do you really think that he can even notice this? If he could, he wouldn''t have been fooled by


    you and your evil cousin for all these years!" Luke retorted sharply with a sneer, his eyes filled with


    contempt. He had already given Leo all the reports he had investigated the other day. Leo knew what


    happened to histe wife and who did it to her; still, he did nothing about it. On top of that, he had the


    nerve to attend the FX International Group''s anniversary party with the vicious woman who had


    schemed to kill his ex-wife and tortured his daughter. It was obvious that he wasn''t convinced by what


    Edward and Luke told him. Luke felt that Leo was so stupid and ignorant that he deserved to be set up,


    but Luke only felt sorry for histe wife, who was innocent the whole time. Luke wondered how Leo


    would react when he realized that Edward was telling the truth. To be honest, Luke usually had no


    interest in other people''s personal lives, and he didn''t like to gossip. However, he was triggered this


    time because they had hurt Edward''s wife. He and Edward were like brothers; he cared about Edward,


    and so he consequently cared about everyone Edward loved.


    "Who else would hold onto this after all these years? Just tell me who you are and what you want from


    me!" The feel of insecurity and uncertainty sent chills down Paul''s spine. He was trembling all over in


    terror. This man had kept him captive for days. However, Paul didn''t even know who the man was and


    what he was going to do to him.


    "What I want is quite simple. I only want the truth from you. As for who we are, you''ll find out when the


    time is right. Don''t worry, we''ll make sure that you''ll never forget. Now, just shut up and behave. You''ve


    escaped the rule ofw once, but you won''t get away with it again this time."


    Since Edward was injured and unconscious in hospital, Luke had to postpone a lot of things that


    needed his instructions and permission to carry on. Edward didn''t tell Luke how to deal with Paul after


    he confessed, therefore Luke wouldn''t dare to do anything to him yet. Luckily for Paul, he could still


    enjoy hisst few days away from jail before Edward woke up. They had recorded his confession,


    which was enough for them to send Paul behind bars. The only problem left was how to make Yakira

    confess her evil deeds.


    "Man, please. I know I''ve done something really wrong, and I shouldn''t have done that. But I''ve told you


    everything I know. So please! Please just let me go. I''ll go. I''ll leave at once! Go abroad and never


    Paul might be evil, but he was not stupid. He knew it clearly that he had messed with someone he


    shouldn''t have. They took all the trouble to take him here and make him talk; now that they had what


    they wanted, nothing good woulde of it. Luke wouldn''t tell Paul who he was, so Paul got more


    frightened. The desperation and fear were gnawing at him and driving him crazy.


    "Cut the crap. You should have seen iting when youmitted the crime. You want us to let you


    go? Did it ever ur to you to let go of Grace back then? She was innocent! What had she done to


    you? Nothing! Yet you killed her for your own interests. You should have known well that karma is a


    bitch and sooner orter you''d have to pay for what you''ve done."


    Luke was a taciturn man. It was unusual that he would say so many words at a time. However, faced


    with Paul, Luke was shocked by how evil he had been. Paul''s maliciousness had bruised the soft spot


    on his heart. Luke couldn''t help but speak up for Grace, even though he didn''t even know her.


    "You''remitting a crime as well! It''s illegal for you to keep me captive against my will!" Paul yelled


    hysterically, expecting that someone would hear him ande to his rescue. He didn''t want to stay at


    this damp and dark basement anymore.


    "Wow. So you know about thew. Do you know what kind of sentence you''ll receive for what you did?


    Execution? Life imprisonment? A slow and painful death with all kinds of torture before you die? Or


    perhaps I should just throw you into the pond to feed the crocodiles. Which one would you prefer,


    huh?" Luke asked casually with a sneer as he suddenly gripped Paul''s jaw.


    "No, no, please. Since I''m a criminal, you should just hand me over to the police." Police interrogations


    sounded far more better than crocodiles, at least Paul could manage to fight for the chance to live.


    After all, it had been more than two decades, and it was hard for the police to find any new evidence


    against him now. Paul thought that there was a good chance that the police wouldn''t find anything to


    charge him and would have to let him go.


    "The police? Do you really think that we''re that stupid and we''ll let you off without paying? Just stay


    here. You have to pay the price." Luke snorted and threw him to the floor. He wouldn''t take Paul to the


    police until Daisy decided what to do to him. Daisy was the direct victim of what Paul had done. She


    lost her dear mother and was tortured by her stepmother, Paul''s evil cousin, and she should have a say


    in his punishment.


    "You guys, keep an eye on him. Don''t let him starve or lose weight. I don''t think our crocodiles would


    like to eat skinny ribs." Luke nced around the room and told his people, his voice as cold and


    ruthless as his look.


    "Yes, boss!" The people in the room replied loudly in unison. Although they were all Edward''s


    bodyguards, they were directly led by Luke. Compared to Edward, they were more scared of Luke, who


    was colder. They knew the other batch of bodyguards didn''t make it on time to protect Edwardst


    night, and Luke must be furious about that. Although they were assigned to watch Paul here and didn''t


    have to go to the scene, they wouldn''t dare upset Luke at this point. Who knew when Luke would


    punish those bodyguards fromst night and whether they would be caught in the crossfire. Therefore,


    they''d better stay alert for the time being.


    Luke turned around and gazed at Paul again with a frown. He then left the basement without any


    hesitation. On his way out, Luke could hear Paul begging and crying with his trembling voice behind


    him. Paul kept repeating sentences like ''please let me go'' and ''please forgive me''. ''Let go of you?'' Luke


    sneered and thought, ''you wish!'' Why would Edward go through all the trouble to force Paul back from


    abroad and hold him captive to interrogate him if Edward intended to let him off in the first ce?


    A luxurious Lamborghini soon sped away from the ce where they kept both Paul and the crocodiles.


    The Lamborghini wasn''t Luke''s own car. He asked a bodyguard to bring a car from the Mu''s house for


    him for temporary use, because he had left his own car in the suburbsst night. Edward was injured,


    so Luke went to the hospital with him and Daisy in the Armored Fighting Vehicle. Luke wondered


    whether Kevin had brought his car back. He also wondered whether the ne Daisy had bought


    belonged to a nobledy of the Qing dynasty. Although Luke couldn''t tell why, he could sense that the


    ne was somehow very important to Daisy, otherwise she wouldn''t gaze at it as if it was a long


    lost family heirloom, and Edward wouldn''t have spent a fortune to buy it for her.


    Time slowly went by, and it was already noon when Daisy woke up. She had slept soundly, perhaps it


    was because she was too tired, both physically and mentally. When she opened her eyes, she was still


    in a daze for a second or two. She nked out for a short while, not knowing where she was or why


    she was there. She took a deep breath and blinked for a few times, her long eyshes slightly


    quivering. As she saw Edward lying on the bed next to her, Daisy''s heart stopped for a second and she


    suddenly remembered everything. Memories immediately flooded into her mind. The fight, the gunshot,


    the blood oozing from his chest.


    What happenedst night kept ying on a loop inside her mind. Daisy shook her head and made sure


    that she wasn''t in a dream. Frightened, she reached for Edward''s palm. She eagerly wrapped her


    hands around his palm and even put his palm over her pale face. When she felt the warm and soft


    touch of his skin, Daisy finally felt relieved. As long as Edward was still alive, everything else wouldn''t


    matter.
