Chapter 78

Marc suddenly grabbed my hand.
“Lexi, run!”
“Why do you think he specifically called you here? It’s because he knows about our past and wants to pin this murder on you!”
“If we don’t find a way to escape, we’ll both die here.”
I was shocked by Marc’s serious attitude.}
Then, it slowly dawned on me.
Why would he insist on leaving a will right at the scene of the incident?}
Based on the usual customs of our profession, a wedding night was nothing to be sloppy about. The bridal chamber should’ve been properly decorated, even if we didn’t go through all the formal rituals.}
I’d been blinded by the thought of that $8000 windfall. And actually overlooked such crucial information.}
The so–called leaving a successor seemed fake and finding a scapegoat to take the blame was real.
If he could tell me that Marc committed suicide out of lovesickness.}
Then he could easily tell outsiders that I killed Marc out of love, turned to hatred, acting in a fit of rage after the breakup.
Rich people really were the most ruthless.
My brain started spinning as I quickly thought it all through. Then I looked at Marc and hesitated.}]
“Aren’t you his real son? Even a vicious tiger wouldn’t eat its own cub,” I said.
“Worst case, just agree to change your last name. I mean, when it comes down to life or death, pride really doesn’t matter that much.”
“Back when we were dating, if you’d had a little less pride and told me you were a rich second–gen, maybe we wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
Marc sighed helplessly.
He looked at me with a mournful expression.
“Ten years have passed and you’re still so naive.“}
“How could someone like my dad have only one son? He’s fathered countless illegitimate children outside all these years.“}
“Those people are just waiting for me to die so they can take my place.“}]
Getting rid of one rebellious son in exchange for a few obedient ones, for Flynn, this was a profitable deal with no losses.”
Marc also told me.
During his “fake death,” Flynn revealed many secrets. Like how he slept with Elena’s best friend and made the real Mr. Hernandez die of
rage.
How he funneled the company’s money into his own hands and stripped the Hernandezs of any real power.
And that he’s already taken more than one or two lives.
The more I listened, the more I felt a chill down my spine.
Flynn was extremely cautious. Just on my way here, I saw dozens of patrolling bodyguards.
Also, the cameras covered almost all angles without blind spots.
It would be tough for just the two of us to escape.}]
I peered through the crack in the window.
Although Flynn wasn’t standing at the door this time.}
Two burly men stood at the corner of the corridor.
I paced back and forth anxiously and then a thought suddenly struck me.
“I can tell your mom about this!“}
“You’re her only child. She can’t possibly stand by and do nothing, can she?”
Marc’s eyes lit up instantly.”
“Yes, you’re right! My mom always doted on me. If she knew what my dad had done, she definitely wouldn’t let it go.“} “Even though she’s not as smart as you, with my planning, we can definitely escape and turn things around!”
I rolled my eyes at Marc.
A security guard, acting like a mastermind.}
But it was a matter of life and death, even though I was very unwilling to accept it.
I listened patiently to Marc finish talking about his plan.
After carefully discussing the details, I straightened my clothes and opened the door.
Marc continued to lie on the bed, pretending to be dead.
Seeing me come out, Flynn hurriedly came over, supporting Elena.}
