Chapter 187 Chapter 187 I'll Go With You The location that Keenan sent was an abandoned building on the outskirts of town. I'd heard from Alisa that he had received several projects, but they'd all been stopped midway due to various reasons.

Not only were the homeowners not able to get their money back, but they didn't end up with a place to move into too. However, for sreason, even after the homeowners joined forces to file a lawsuit, nothing cout of it either. The building had been deserted for over five years and was almost completely forgotten by the public.

As I drove there with Randall, I noted that there was pretty much nothing around, besides a signal tower and patches of overgrown weeds. The police had nowhere to take cover.

When I got out of the car, my phone rang once again.

It was a call from Keenan. "Is that Randall beside you? Put him on the call!" Randall used to be around 5'9". But he was now so hunched that he was about my height. Both his voice and face had changed too. It was only to be expected that Keenan would have his doubts.

I cleared my throat before saying, "Randall suffered severe burns from the fire back then. His voice and face were both ruined." Keenan was obviously stunned as he paused momentarily. Then, he scoffed. "No wonder you sounded so strange when I called you. So, it turns out that you and Randall had reunited for quite stime! You little wench! You're just as cunning as your father! "There I was, wondering why you were so confident! So, you got your hands on the fund, haven't you?" I ignored his taunts and cut straight to the point. "Where's Rivaella?" "Up here! On the seventh floor!" The building had more than ten stories. He had most likely picked a level in the middle to remain inconspicuous.

I looked around me. Besides the lone signal tower, there was pretty much nowhere else the sniper could remain hidden. Keenan would also be able to spot the police the moment they drove over.

My heart sank. I couldn't help feeling that our chances of walking out unharmed weren't great. But Randall gently took my hand. "Cwith me. It'll be fine." His voice had changed, and the skin on his hand was abnormally rough. But somehow, he Chaco Tamingo with.

managed to calmdown.

He had held my hand like this countless times before when I was a child. He was the person I trusted the most apart from my parents. Looking at his crooked arm, I mustered all the courage within me.

By the twe reached the seventh floor, Randall was already panting slightly. Keenan laughed the moment he saw Randall.

"No wonder! No wonder I couldn't find you all this time! You were at the hospital the whole time, weren't you? I've seen you several times, but I never thought that it was you! You bastards really have luck on your side, don't you? Why didn't you die in the fire?" Keenan laughed so hard that he teared up. Beside him, Rivaella was sobbing like a child. Randall took-off his cap and mask, revealing his gruesscars.

Rivaella shook her head repeatedly, but she was gagged and couldn't say a word.

Keenan had a gun in his hand, and he made a show of waving it around in front of me.

"Bastard! You're all wretched bastards! I was so kind to help you with the divorce, Eva, but you colluded with others to plot against me? You bitch!

"I should have hired someone to murder you back in Manovia! I should have run you over before you even married Leonard! I was too kind to let you off!" He seemed somewhat crazed as he continued spewing profanities. He seemed to think that he was merciful and benevolent for not killing me.

I ignored him and inched toward Rivaella.

All of a sudden, Keenan aimed his gun at me. "Freeze! Another move and I'll shoot! I've got six bullets here! That's enough to kill all three of you twice!" I could feel my knees shaking. I dared not make a single move.

Suddenly, a loud sound was heard.

Randall fell to his knees and begged in a hoarse voice, "Let them go. I'll go with you. It's the fund you're after, isn't it? I'm the only one who can access it! Chapter 16 Do tu mtell
