Thinking of the past, the woman's tears fell silently along the corner of her eyes, and her voice trembled slightly.
“A Lot of things happened then... He often went to visit Tessie and me after filming or on breaks. He infiltrated the FC group so we could all hang out together
The four people in that group also took good care of me. They knew I was pregnant, so they wanted to protect me. Tessie and I were invited to Orange's birthday party.
Then something bad happened at that night. I'll never forget what he did back there. It's one of the nicest things anyone's ever done. Kirk and his men were mad at me, and started making threats. They had guns and weren't afraid to use them. Orange stopped me from going out there, and took the blame himself."
Matthew knew what happened after that. Orange went to prison, and before anyone could bail him out, his old disease came back with a vengeance. He died in that cold cell.
“I swore on his grave that I would find Kirk's boss and bring the man to justice to comfort Orange's soul. Since then, I've been trying to find out where they are. I'll track them to the ends of the earth if I have to. After three years, we finally caught the members of his gang.
With your help, of course. And the big bad is still running around free. In order to find him, Chantel and I have spent a lot of time and effort trying to grow our numbers, making new contacts, establishing new supply chains.
If you won't let me do this, then that doesn't make me feel any better
I vowed to avenge him."
The man wiped the woman's tears and glanced at her coldly.
"Crying for another man? You have some nerve! Maybe I should teach you a Lesson!"
“If it weren't for Orange, I would have been put behind bars. I owe him a lot. In fact, I don't know if I would be able to get out of there at all if it weren't for him. Can you imagine what would have happened if your sons were born in a jail cell? I didn't even know where they would be taken after they were born. We both owe Orange for the lives of our boys!"
Erica said seriously. If Matthew allowed Erica to continue, he wondered whether she would make it seem like Orange had been a benefactor to both the Hilton and Leonard families?
Sure enough, before he could speak, Erica wiped her tears with the back of her hand and continued, "Just thinking about it makes me nervous. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night because of the guilt. If I had somehow managed to get out of jail, the first thing I would do is find my sons. If I had failed to find them, I would have come back to ask you for help. Surely, if the Hilton and Leonard families knew that their grandsons were missing, they would have lost sleep, same as me
So, technically, if you think about it, Orange is the benefactor of both the Hilton family and the Leonard family." Lo and behold, Erica had managed to make it look like Orange was the benefactor of the two families.
"Since Orange has been of great help to both of the families, each family will send one person to avenge him. Gifford is chosen from the
Leonard family and the person from the Hilton family is me. You don't need to get yourself involved in all this. You should just focus on running your studio and finally finishing school," Matthew dismissed her.
Erica had delayed her study because she had run away from home for more than three years. However, as education was paramount, they had reached an agreement to Let her go to school for further study.
Erica was stunned by Matthew's response. The only reason why she took the time to explain everything to him was that she wanted him to know how much the matter of avenging Orange meant to her. Why was Matthew making light of the situation? Why was he so unsupportive of her wish to avenge Orange?
In the end, however, Erica managed to persuade Matthew to agree with her, despite his reluctance, using both hard and soft tactics. But they agreed that Matthew would always accompany her in person if she were to take action in the future.
In another villa in Alorith
Michel slowly pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and stared pensively at the red wine in the glass. Behind his glasses, there was unconcealed viciousness in his eyes.
“What's wrong with the truck?"
The man next to him reported, "We've checked the truck, and there was nothing wrong with it. The car our men were chasing was the first one to run a red light, and our men's car was just behind it. Then our men's car crashed into the truck."
Two of their people died on the spot, but the truck driver survived the crash with minor injuries.
