Chapter 1373 Paid The Price
Just when Le was about to delete all of the nude photos, one of them caught her eye. It was blurry
and dark, not the most eye-catching of them all, but it sparked her interest nevertheless.
It seemed like this photo was taken in a remote suburb. There were a lot of greenery and open spaces
and in the middle was a small house. Next to the house was a huge chimney.
Even though Le couldn''t see what was going on inside the house, her heartbeat quickened.
Jim wouldn''t take such a photo for no reason. Le knew him well and knew that he did everything for a
reason. The only exnation that she could think of was that the house was an important ce for him

and that he might have hidden something inside.
Le zoomed in on the picture and studied it carefully, eager to find some clues
because she had a strong feeling that Jim was hiding Shirley somewhere inside the house.
Le swiped up, looking through the photo gallery for more. She hoped that there would be more
photos and clues that would help her find Shirley, but sadly, there weren''t.
She sent the photo she found to her WeChat and then saved it onto her phone, intending to study it
more at home. She wanted to be the one to find Shirley before Charles found her.
Le breathed a sigh of relief after she deleted all of the photos. She walked over to Jim and ripped the
clothes off him. But Jim was too heavy, like a dead fat pig. She was exhausted and out of breath when
she was done, sweat beads dripping from her forehead.
Panting, she took out her phone and turned on the camera app and shlight and started taking photos
of Jim, naked and still.
"Ugh, there is really nothing to look at. No muscles at all. This body is so gross," she eximed as she
took photos, even dragging him by his ear.
"You deserve this!" she yelled, grinding her teeth.
When she finished taking photos, she walked outside and waited for another woman toe.
She leaned against the hallway wall, waiting, doing absolutely nothing, when suddenly she noticed the
camera that was attached to the ceiling. Its blinking red light startled her.
How could she forget about the camera? Le cursed under her breath. She realized that her hatred
had clouded her judgment. How could she have forgotten about the security cameras that would be
there?
Groaning, she started to pace the hallway, instantly anxious at the possibility she might have been
caught.
What if Jim had died? The security camera was a piece of huge evidence. Even though there wasn''t a
camera inside the room to catch hermitting the crime, the one in the hallway would have caught
her staying in the same room as Jim and so she would be pegged as a suspect.
Jim was an asshole and Le couldn''t go to jail again on his ount. Le was sure of one thing—Jim
could not die. At least, not now.
But she was so angry and acting out of impulse when she poisoned Jim. She didn''t even think about
security cameras and the consequences his death might bring to her. Because she didn''t bring any
antidote to the poison, she could only ask her partner to bring some with her.
"Hey, are you close?" Le asked anxiously as soon as her partner answered the phone.
"Almost, what''s wrong? Did something happen?" The woman on the other end of the phone was
surprised at Le''s phone call. She thought that Le would still be dealing with Jim. After all, he wasn''t
an easy man to bring down.
"Remember to bring some antidote to the poison. I need them," Le responded quickly.
"No problem," the woman immediately shot back, understanding that Le was done handling Jim. She
needed to hurry up and get there.
After hanging up, Le continued to wait for the woman. While she was waiting, she slipped into the
electricity room and shut the power off, causing the whole hotel to have a ckout.
Then Le slipped back to her room and dragged Jim into the bathroom, where it was dark and quiet. It
was surely out of the camera''s view.
As she did that, a woman walked up to the door. She wore a big ck hat and a pair of huge
sunsses with a mask over her face, covering pretty much her entire face. Her makeup was so heavy
that people looking at her would know that she was wearing makeup.
She knocked on the door just as Le was heading back from the bathroom.
Le went to open the door and nearly screamed, startled by the woman standing outside.
The woman wearing all ck was a frightening sight and Le wouldn''t have recognized her if she
didn''t know that she wasing. After all, it was nighttime and the woman''s face was covered.
When she recovered from shock, she stood straight and nodded at the woman. She peeked outside to
check whether there were others in the hallway before she let the woman in. The woman, who noticed
that the hotel was in darkness, found it strange, but given the fact that Le didn''t give her an
opportunity to ask, she followed her inside the room.
Le closed the door and turned to the woman, stretching out her hand as if asking for something. The
antidote.
The moment the woman pulled out the antidote from her bag, Le grabbed it and dropped the liquid
into a cup of water. At that moment, the hotel''s power returned and momentarily blinded her and the
woman. Once her eyes readjusted, she ran into the bathroom and knelt beside Jim''s body, grabbing his
face and forcing the antidote down his throat, praying that Jim got cured from the poison.
She didn''t want to pay the price for his death.
When Jim had drunk the whole thing, Le stood and took a few steps back, allowing the woman in
ck to do her job.
The woman took out another bag of white powder from her pocket and a syringe from her handbag.
Bending a bit, she injected the powder into Jim''s body.
While this was happening, Le was recording the scene with her phone, making sure to focus on Jim
and not the woman in ck.
The whole process didn''t take long. Just a few minutester, the woman put the syringe back in her
handbag and stood up.
