Chapter 1374 Jim Was Arrested
Rummaging through her purse, Le took out a bank card and handed it to the woman. "The password
is 123456," she said in a low voice while eyeing the woman. Looking over her shoulders, she nced
around to make sure that no one had seen her.
Then she turned around and looked at Jim coldly with eyes full of disgust. Finishing off her business
with the woman, she pushed open the door and walked out without looking back, leaving the woman
there to deal with Jim.
Feeling impatient and anxious, Le stood silently in a corner near the gate of the Aegean Hotel.
There was a flicker of panic in her eyes and she found it hard to stay calm like she was being covered
by dark clouds.
In the back of her mind, she even began to fancy things and was afraid that Jim would suddenly wake
up at that moment and catch her in the act.
She was so nervous that her right hand trembled slightly. Thus, to keep herselfposed, she rubbed
her index finger with her middle finger. Deep in her heart, her feelings were mixed.
Fortunately, it didn''t take a long time for the woman she talked with earlier toe out of the hotel.
When she saw Le, she nodded slightly towards her. They didn''t talk, but only nced at each other
for a few seconds, and seemed to have understood each other by just exchanging nces. With that,
the woman walked away with graceful steps.
With the woman gone, a smile appeared on Le''s lips. Finally, she was relieved as if a thorn had been
plucked out of her heart.
From the way things turned out, she understood that she didn''t have to use the most extreme way and
means to deal with people like Jim. She knew perfectly well that hitting the needle would give him a
heavy blow. When she thought about this, coldness shed in her eyes.
Momentster, Le didn''t hasten to leave. She patiently waited and after staying in the corner a while
longer, she took out her cell phone and called someone.
Ending the call, she remained where she was standing, merged into the endless darkness, unseen and
unnoticed, her eyes lingering around.
About ten minutester, when Le''s legs were about to go numb, she heard the police car screaming.
The light above the police car shed and lit up the nearby area. It seemed that nothing in darkness
could be hidden any more amidst the ring lights.
Soon, Jim, who was disheveled on his feet, staggered out under the escort of several policemen.
In the far corner, Le observed them secretly. She saw the panic and confusion on Jim''s face,
knowing that he was about to face a grave dilemma.
As the officers dragged him along, Jim seemed to be arguing something out loud. He kept on
exining to the policemen that he did nothing wrong and he was innocent. However, since they had
found enough physical evidence in the room, none of them would like to listen to Jim''s exnation. He
was so noisy that everyone wanted to cover his mouth to stop him from talking.
Seeing that Jim had been pushed into the police car and taken away by the policemen, Le heaved a
long sigh of relief. Satisfied that her n worked out well, Le turned to leave.
Le''s heart was full of joy brought by revenge. She was so overwhelmed by the triumphant sensation
that a wide grin was drawn on her face.
Now that Jim would be put behind bars, nobody could threaten her again. The unpleasant memory
about what had happened to her that dreary afternoon had been buried with Jim''s imprisonment.
''Nobody else would know what happened that afternoon. That nightmare would be forgotten atst!''
Le thought.
However, she had never expected that someone had seen and recorded that scene. And Charles, the
man she cared about most, had already known what had happened to her that afternoon.
Le knew nothing about that, so she still felt triumphant. By the way she imagined it, she thought that
everything would be okay when the police located where Shirley was.
Meanwhile, Cassie was on duty at the hospital today. She didn''t have a decent sleepst night because
she had a nightmare and she dreamed of Nick. When she woke up at dawn, she opened her heavy
eyes and found that nothing changed in the room and Nick wasn''t there.
Cassie smiled bitterly. ''What am I expecting?'' she asked herself with a nasty frown.
Cassie was seated in daze on the chair when Cora walked towards her. Lowering her head, Cora
asked with a mysterious expression, "Cassie, what did you say about my brother when we sent you
homest night? He looked out of mind after getting in the car. Did you say anything to hurt him?"
The half-joking inquiry made Cassie''s heart grow bitter. She would thank God if she wasn''t the one
being offended yet, how could she hurt others?
"Stop joking. We''re at work," Cassie said and looked at Cora, with her eyebrows crossed in confusion.
Seeing her so troubled, Cora chuckled and continued, "My brother loves you so much. Last night, I
found the light in his room was still on when I got up to drink water. I guess he was missing you, so he
couldn''t fell asleep. What do you think?"
Hearing that, Cassie shot Cora a re and protested, "I won''t talk to you anymore if you keep on
talking nonsense."
With Cassie''s bitter response, Cora made a sign of shutting her mouth up and replied, "Okay. I''m not
going to talk about him anymore."
Now that Cora had promised not to bother her anymore with her brother, Cassie''s face softened.
However, as Cora looked at her, she couldn''t help but ask, "Who were those people I sawst night?
Why did they want to kidnap you?"
At Cora''s question, Cassie''s face darkened. She had no idea about what really happenedst night.
She couldn''t even remember how she got herself to bed.
From the look of it, she guessed it might be Shawn who had done this. However, when she had
returned homest night and called Gamora, nobody answered the call.
She wondered that maybe something bad had happened to Gamora. ''Maybe Shawn had found out that
Gamora hinted me and controlled her, so she couldn''t answer my call.''
With her thoughts running wild, Cassie had assumed many possibilities. She even had decided to call
the police if she still couldn''t reach Gamora today.
Hearing what Cora had asked, Cassie couldn''t help but tell her everything she knew, hoping that Cora
could help her in some ways she could.
When Cassie was done rting the incident to her, Cora opened her eyes widely. "God! So that means
you''re in trouble with gangsters?" she asked.
"They are not gangsters. But there are many people in their group and they are rich and powerful."
Showing that she was not bothered at all, Cassie snorted with a shrug.
Yet from the way it sounded, Cora was still scared. She couldn''t imagine what she would do if she
would be put in the same scenario. "Cassie, if Shawn won''t let you go, what are you going to do?" she
asked worriedly.
"I couldn''t figure out a good idea. But anyway, I have already reported it to the police. I hope they can
find some clues," Cassie answered with a sigh.
The words she just heard did not relieve Cora. She knew that people like Shawn wouldn''t leave any

evidence to others, so he must have already bribed the police.
Worried for Cassie''s safety, Cora decided to tell this to her brother. Maybe he could find a way to help
her.
At noon, Cora and Cassie went to the hospital canteen together when they saw a woman standing near
them with her eyes fixed on Cassie. The way she looked at her was so creepy as if she was watching
every move she was making.
"Is she your friend?" Cora asked curiously, nudging Cassie by the side to look at the woman. She
thought all the while that Cassie seemed to know this woman.
"Oh yes, she is Gamora, my ssmate in the university," Cassie whispered in Cora''s ear.
"Gamora!" Hearing the name, Cora shouted in surprise but immediately covered her mouth with her
hand realizing how loud she was.
ring at her with eyes that warned her to be quiet, Cassie nodded and said, "You go to the canteen
first. I''ll talk to her."
Though hesitant, Cora agreed even if she was a little worried about her. "Be careful!" she reminded.
Teasing her, Cassie said with a smile, "Don''t worry. I won''t go out with her."
