593: Agreeing to Cooperate

Agreeing to Cooperate

"Wh-who exactly are you? How did you get this?" Karen's body was trembling, and her face was as pale as a sheet.1

The middle-aged man looked at her, and the corners of his mouth curled into a sinister smile. "Of course, Craig recorded this to protect his interests. Everyone thought that his cell phone was damaged in the car accident, but it actually wasn't. Even though it's an old phone, it can be sold for a small sum of money.

"So before Craig used his life to work for you, he sold the phone to a junk dealer at the entrance of the alley for thirty bucks. I just happened to buy the phone from this junk dealer and naturally got hold of the recording in it."

Karen felt as if her world was spinning.

She hadn't expected Craig, whom she thought had died without evidence, would leave behind such deadly evidence, and it would actually fall into someone else's hands.

In this way, the evidence of Karen hiring a murderer landed in the hands of the middle-aged man in front of her. No matter how she defended herself, it would be useless!

Karen was so furious and scared that she was about to faint.

"Don't panic yet. I didn't say I would send you to jail now. I said that I'm here to cooperate with you," the middle-aged man said at the right time.

"Wh-what cooperation?" Karen asked apprehensively after hearing the keyword.

"I want you to work with me to kill Lucas Gray!" the middle-aged man suddenly said with a menacing expression, his eyes filled with anger and killing intent.

"What?!" Hearing this, Karen was astonished!

She had originally thought that this middle-aged man who suddenly appeared wanted to use the recording, which was evidence of her crime, to threaten her to do something untoward or to extort money from her.

However, she never expected this man would have the same agenda as her!

"Why? Did he offend you too?" Karen blurted.

The middle-aged man's face was covered in gloomy killing intent. "Yes, my only son was killed by him, so I must kill him to avenge my son!"

Euphoria surged in Karen's heart! Wonderful! Indeed, there's always a way out!

She had long hated Lucas to the core, and the reason she had conspired with Nikki to kill William was to ultimately kill Lucas.

But William kept getting saved, and she hadn't been able to kill him at all. Instead, she had even made Lucas suspect her, leaving her with no choice but to flee far away.

If this middle-aged man is willing to help, then…!

But Karen didn't become overwhelmed by the surprise. If Lucas could be killed so easily, she wouldn't have gotten herself into such a situation now.

Besides, she didn't even know the identity of the middle-aged man. How could she rashly agree to cooperate with him?

In case it failed again, she really wouldn't have the chance to flee at all.

After thinking about it, Karen immediately rejected with righteous indignation, "Since you know me and Lucas, you must know that he's my son-in-law. What makes you think I would cooperate with you to kill my own son-in-law?"

The middle-aged man sneered. "Karen, since I was able to find you, it means that I know everything about you. You should know that I'm well aware if you and Lucas Gray get along harmoniously or if you two are at odds, so drop the act in front of me!

"I've known for a long time that you hate him so much that you even wish you could kill him with your own hands, but you haven't been able to find a way to do so, right?

"I have to remind you once more that when I say I want to cooperate with you, I'm not giving you a choice but instead just informing you. If you're not willing to listen, then this recording in my hand will immediately be sent to Lucas Gray! You should know very well what will happen to you then!"

Then he took out his phone and waved it in front of Karen's face to threaten her.

Karen's eyes were fixed on the phone, and her heart tensed up.

As the middle-aged man said, he had evidence against Karen, so there was no way she could negotiate with him!

"Okay, I'm willing to cooperate with you! But afterward, you must destroy the recording and not save any backups!" Karen gritted her teeth and revealed her only condition.

The man agreed without even thinking, "Of course. Don't worry. I'm not interested in you at all. I just want to kill Lucas Gray and avenge my dead son!"

"…" Karen remained silent. Fine, him not being interested in me is better than him targeting me for no reason.

The middle-aged man was none other than Moses Kingston!

Ever since his son Marc committed suicide by jumping off a building this morning, he was about to break down.

He had gone to Lance to seek justice for his son, but Lance had refused without hesitation.

Moses was completely disappointed. Now, he couldn't be bothered to care about the family interests. His only purpose was to make Lucas die alongside his son!

If not for Lucas crushing Marc's calves, how could Marc have faced amputation and jumped to his death as a result?

The culprit was Lucas!

So after identifying his target, he immediately began to investigate the situation around Lucas.

He then looked at two people around Lucas.

Karen was an important tool.

This was why he had deliberately come here to cooperate with her.

Although Karen agreed to this middle-aged man's request, she wouldn't feel carefree just because of it.

"We do share a common goal to kill Lucas, but I think you should know that if Lucas could be killed that easily, I would have gotten him killed long ago!

"So, what's your plan? If you're trying to get me to help you kill Lucas, then you'd better change your mind as soon as possible," Karen hurriedly said.

She was now really worried that the middle-aged man would force her to kill Lucas by using methods such as poisoning him when he didn't have his guard up.

If so, she could never do it.

Lucas was extremely vigilant, and he would never fall for her trick.

Moses shook his head slowly. "No, I want you to do something else. Leave it to me to kill Lucas Gray! I want to kill him with my own hands and use his blood as a sacrifice for my son!"

Hearing that he didn't intend for her to kill someone but to help with something else, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief and asked with some doubt, "Then… what exactly do you want me to help you do?"

With his eyes full of hatred, Moses slowly said, "I want you to hand Lucas Gray's daughter to me, and then I'll use her as bait to kill him!"
