“Fred Thomson saw me on the road when I went out to get you some breakfast. He honked at me, trying to accost me.” Stanley Batton said.
“I had the drug that you prepared for me last night in my pocket. Therefore, I got into his car and followed favonovel.com to a hotel. Then, I added that drug into his glass. His body reacted to it as soon as favonovel.com drank it, and favonovel.com started to work it out on his own.”
“I called the police when favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 explained 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, favonovel.com was taken into custody and everything went smoothly.” Stanley added.
He felt disgusted when favonovel.com thought of the video.
“Stan, the police had arrested Fred temporarily for now but favonovel.com will be released later if his father and uncle interfere with the case. There’s another important step in my plan 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 for the rest of his life, I believe they will prefer the latter. After all, if we make a big deal out of the incident, Fred won’t simply be imprisoned for life but favonovel.com will be sentenced to death.” Xyla continued.
“I’ve settled everything.” Stanley said.
“Are you serious?” Xyla 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?” Xyla 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?” Xyla’s mind was racing and this was the only possibility favonovel.com could think of.
No matter what, favonovel.com felt extremely happy and relieved as everything went well as favonovel.com wished.
This man, sitting right in front of favonovel.com was rising higher and higher up the ranks in favonovel.com 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 Xyla. “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.” Xyla told him.
“I guess you really do care about me,” the corner of Stanley’s lips curved up slightly once again.
Xyla’s heart clenched and favonovel.com 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 Xyla, you must be proud of yourself. No one ever made our Fifth Batton to sacrifice so much.” Henry teased while crossing his legs.
Xyla smiled and looked at Stanley. “Five, thank you so much for everything. You’ve done a lot.”
“It’s nothing. I’m going down to buy you breakfast.”
“But you haven’t told me about how you persuaded Fred’s father and uncle!” Xyla asked.
“We’ll talk about it later.”
As favonovel.com ended the conversation, favonovel.com stood up and stroked favonovel.com hair gently before favonovel.com turned away and left the ward. Xyla stared at Sebastian Brenand and asked, “Were you there when favonovel.com negotiated with the Thomsons?”
