Logan was on the verge of a total breakdown.
All his hard work, including the trap he set up, had gone to waste because of Hades’ ‘revival’.
Now Zeke had leverage over him!
He refused to accept this fate!
Will I be oppressed and enslaved by Zeke for the rest of my life?
No! I will resist!
“It’s all because of Hadley Murphy! The f**king assassin whom she assigned me is a weakling. Not only that he
failed to complete his mission, but he became a captive of Zeke. Now Zeke has dirt on me. Hadley Murphy should
be responsible for this.”
Logan dialed Hadley’s number and blustered, “Hadley Murphy, where are you?”
“I’m picking up girls at the karaoke,” Hadley replied.
Logan exploded with rage, “What?! Karaoke? I’m in deep trouble because of you. And now you still have the mood
to sing? You f**king ba****d! Get your ass here right now, I have something to discuss with you.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHadley mocked, “You’re defeated by Zeke Williams and now you’re blaming me for your incapability? Are you
serious? You can’t blame gravity for failing to poop, can you?”
“Cut the bullshit.” Logan was growing impatient. “My plan would have been perfect if not for the stupid assassin
that you assigned me. I don’t care. The assassin is held captive by Zeke, and you need to get rid of him. I will be
under Zeke’s thumb so long as he still holds the assassin as his captive.”
“Don’t worry, I will get rid of that incompetent assassin myself,” Hadley gave her words, “Besides that, I’m planning
to ruin Zeke Williams’ reputation. I lost everything because of him, and I won’t let him get away with this.”
Logan’s eyes glinted with excitement. “How are you going to do it?”
Hadley smiled and told Logan her plan through the phone.
Logan’s attitude changed instantly after listening to her plan. “Ms. Murphy, I’m impressed. Your helper is definitely
more powerful than the underworld and military forces.” Then, he laughed maniacally and continued, “If your plan
works, Zeke Williams will lose his foothold in the whole of Eurasia.”
“However, I can’t achieve it on my own. Logan, I need your help,” Hadley cut to the chase.
“You know Zeke Williams has dirt on me. If he finds out that I’m going after him, I’m afraid he will send the captive
assassin to the military. I will be dead if that happens.” Logan hesitated for a while and said, “So, I can only help you
in secret.”
Hadley was pleased. “Cool! You don’t need to show yourself, just bend the rules a little. As you know, I can’t expose
myself as an assassin. Whereas your biggest advantage is that you can exercise your power and influence openly.”
Logan had the last word, “Deal.”
After ending the call, Logan made another two phone calls.
The first phone call was to a company under his name.
The second phone call was to a person named “Mr. Hoffman” in his contact list.
Meanwhile, Hadley stretched lazily and patted Emily on her waist.
Hadley’s touch gave Emily goosebumps. Emily was fine if any other woman touched her waist, but not Hadley since
she knew of Hadley’s sexuality.
Emily pulled herself away and said, “Ms. Murphy, please behave yourself.”
Hadley laughed in amusement. “Chill, you’re not my cup of tea. You’re indeed good-looking and sexy, but your
temperament is streets behind Lacey’s. In my eyes, you’re incomparable to a stunner like Lacey.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHadley’s statements had got under Emily’s skin. How is Lacey better than me?!
Emily took a deep breath and then changed the topic. “Ms. Murphy, what do you actually want me to do?”
Hadley said, “It’s a simple task. I want you to go and apologize to Lacey and Zeke. I have learned exactly what
happened and I think you’ve done them wrong.”
“What?!” Emily regarded Hadley with incredulity. “You want me to apologize to that simp and b*tch? Impossible!
You should help me out instead of asking me to bow down to my enemy.”
“Calm down. Do you really think I would let you admit defeat?” Hadley shook her head and continued, “This is just a
part of the plan.”
Hadley leaned over and whispered in Emily’s ears.
The tension on Emily’s face eased visibly after listening to Hadley’s plan. “Mm, I’ll do as you said.”
Then, Emily left the private room of the karaoke.
Hadley picked up the microphone. Then she chose the song “My Girl” and started singing.
“I’ve got so much honey... The bees envy me... I’ve got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees... Well, I guess
you’d say... What can make me feel this way... My girl, my girl, my girl...”
Hadley had a neutral voice which sounded husky and deep.
However, her unique voice coupled with the strange lyrics somehow made the song sounded freakish.
