Chapter 199
At noon the next day, Audrey and Bryson brought Harold to a nearby restaurant for lunch.
Audrey looked at her hand as she sat down.
When she hit Leslie last night, she accidentally hit her hand on the wall. So she got a bruise on the back of her hand, and it hadn't healed.
It felt good only at the moment when she hit him.
Then Audrey asked Bryson.
"Bryson, how is Leslie?"
Bryson glanced at her and said, "He was sent to the police, and they found the previous victims. The victims all identified him. Now he has been in custody awaiting trial."
"Bryson, I want to be the prosecution lawyer!"
"Alright, I'll arrange it!"
She swore that she would make him rot in jail!
Seeing her furious look, Harold shivered.
She looked so terrifying.
The ordered dishes were offered. When they were about to eat, someone suddenly rushed into Harold's arms crying.
"Harold, Harold, I finally found you."
Harold paused when he saw the crying face.
It was Susie.
"What's wrong?" Harold regained consciousness.
Susie raised her head and complained tearfully, "After you left, Dick took me back. Then, I, I..."
"Then what?"
Susie rolled up a sleeve, showing the scar on her arm. It was bloody and caused by a whip.
"Look!" Susie wept, "He hit me. He vented his anger on me because you ran away, and I just managed to escape."
If Harold hadn't seen what Susie and Dick did last night, he would have believed her, but...
If Dick hit her, there should be wounds on her face and neck. Perhaps this was the only wound.
Susie liked looking attractive. She would never allow others to leave her a scar. It should be a tough decision for her to make this wound on her arm.
Now he would no longer trust her. Disgust showed on his face, and he wanted to push Susie away.
Audrey tipped him a wink.
Harold understood and said to Susie, "Then what do you want me to do now?"
Susie raised her pitiful face, "I escaped, and Dick won't let me go. So ... Harold, can you run away with me?"
"Run away with you? To where?"
"Anywhere, as long as we can leave Shore City!" Susie anxiously said, "Shore City is Dick's den. He will find us no matter where we hide. As long as we leave Shore City, we will be free!"
Harold seemed in an awkward position, "But, I was bailed by Audrey. If I leave Shore City now, I will become a fugitive!"
Susie thought for a second. She gritted her teeth and said, "Then we can find a place where no one knows us. We can change our names and live in seclusion. What do you think?"
The old Harold might instantly agree.
However, now Harold had changed.
Harold sneered quietly.
Susie hurriedly asked him to leave Shore City. Undoubtedly, she wanted to make him a fugitive.
Perhaps once he left Shore City, the police would immediately catch him.
Originally, he was just a suspect. Then, it would confirm that he was the murderer. He was previously sentenced to life imprisonment. After he became a fugitive, the punishment would become harsher and he would be sentenced to death.
Susie was really "considerate". She wanted him to die.
Harold thought for a while before replying, "I can run away with you, but not now..."
"Why?" Susie's tone was filled with impatience.
"My grandmother had raised me for more than ten years. I will never come back again, so I want to go to her grave in memory of her for the last time. Otherwise, after we live in seclusion in the future, I will not be relieved!"
Susie was almost about to stop him.
But the moment Harold left Shore City, he would become a fugitive. Then she was no longer concerned. It would not be long before this.
Susie took a deep breath and put on a gentle look.
"Of course you should. I'll go with you!"
Harold held Susie's hand with concern. "No, Susie, I will go myself. Dick will definitely look for you everywhere after he knows you have escaped. If you go with me, it will be easy to find you. It's hard to find you if you hide alone. Later, we can contact each other on the phone. My phone number doesn't change."
"Alright!"
Susie pretended to be afraid of being recognized. She quickly and quietly left the restaurant.
They watched Susie leave.
After Susie disappeared from view, Audrey looked at Harold. She was happy that Harold was disillusioned with Susie.
In the past, Harold had always been blindly obedient to Susie. Now he tricked Susie. He had really changed.
Harold looked at Susie in disappointment as she left.
If Susie had just been with Dick, perhaps he would have pretended that nothing had happened. After all, Susie had once been good to him.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
But she appeared and wanted to scheme against him again today. He was disappointed.
He had intended to let her go, but why did she come to him again? Was she afraid that he would not take the blame for Dick? She just hoped that he would quickly die.
Audrey looked at Harold with concern.
"Harold, you won't really listen to her and run away with her, right?" He loved Susie so much, so it was not impossible.
Harold took a deep breath and looked up at Audrey.
"Audrey, don't worry. I won't do anything stupid again!" Harold looked worried. "I can cooperate with you on everything, but I am worried ... Dick has something that will become evidence to testify against me. Then it's impossible to prove my innocence!"
Audrey narrowed her eyes. "You mean the thing buried in the corner of your house? What is that?"
