Chuck’s mouth hung wide open.
He was not expecting his old friend whom he had not met for seven years to show up before him once more and announce that he was the great War Legate Draco.
He was utterly stunned and fell into deep thought. “If Adrian’s the legate, then Wallace is absolutely nothing in front of him!‘
At that thought, Chuck began to break down. He grabbed Adrian’s hand and cried, “Adrian, you have to avenge me… Please!”
Chuck was extremely agitated, letting out all the vengeance and grief he felt inside. He wanted the legate to avenge him!
Adrian wished to calm the fear deep within Chuck’s heart. All that he was waiting for was for Chuck to say the word.
“Go ahead and tell me the story, Chubbs. What happened? Did you kill anyone?”
Chuck shook his head like a madman. “I never killed anyone. They framed me. You have to avenge me, Adrian. You know I’d never lie and that I always admit my mistakes. I never killed anyone, and that’s the truth.”
“okay, I’ll help you get revenge,” Adrian promised.
Chuck took a deep breath and said, “There was an accident at my father’s workplace three years ago and he ended up dying. The company paid us a hundred and seventy thousand dollars in compensation. My mother and I used the money to relocate to Wellborough.
“Later on, I fell in love with a woman. Her name’s Laurel Nolan, She’s had an abortion before but I chose to not judge her by her past and started a relationship with her. We got to a point where we were planning on getting married so I used the compensation I got from my father’s death to buy a house. My mother was very happy and we all thought Laurel and I would live happily ever after, but…”
Chuck shut his eyes, falling deep into his memories.
Rue, who was next to him, asked, “But what?”
Chuck opened his eyes, crying as he said, “I thought Laurel truly loved me, but she betrayed me. She got intimate with a guy called Cormac Cook in a bar. She even f*cked him there!
“A friend saw them in the act and called me. I witnessed everything first–hand when I got there. I got so mad in the heat of the moment and beat up Cormac.”
“What happened after that?” Rue asked.
“Laurel apologized to me afterward and I forgave her. Little did I expect that she had already sold herself to Cormac and become his plaything. Cormac paid her to do all sorts of things behind my back.
“Not too long after that, they tricked me because I laid my hands on Cormac once. He used Laurel to con me out of the new house that 1 bought with my father’s compensation. All one hundred and seventy thousand dollars…Gone!”
Chuck was overwhelmed by grief when he spoke that last sentence. He continued to cry as he said, “Laurel broke up with me after the house was gone and spent her days with Cormac. My mother almost
died from a stroke because of this, and I got so furious that I went looking for Laurel to try and resolve this.
“I ended up being beaten up by Cormac and thought that it was all over. But one day, Cormac killed six people in a bar when he got drunk so he asked Wallace, his father, to pin the crime on me. My mom ended up dying from her recurring illness. triggered by the shock while I got arrested and thrown into Prison 14.”
Chuck shuddered at this point, and his story came to an end.
Adrian took a deep breath and asked, “Where’s Laurel now?”
“I don’t know, but Chuck kicked her out after he was done with her. I’m guessing she’s found herself a decent man to get married to. I do know that she was pregnant before but I don’t know who the father is nor do I know how she’s doing now.”
“Is that all?”
Chapter 398
Chuck nodded. “Yes. The six people Cormac killed in the bar were all students from Swallowston University. He wanted to sleep with them but they refused. After he got drunk, he went on to stab them to death.”
When Adrian heard this, he said, “Get some rest. I promise that you’ll hear some really good news from me by this afternoon. I’m going to help you get your vengeance.”
After that, Adrian gave Mya a call and saki, “Mya, I need you to locate a woman called Laurel Nolan. Let me know when you’ve found her.”
“Yes, sir.”
Adrian put down his phone after that and turned toward Chuck once more. “Calm down. I’ll handle this.”
With that, Adrian left the ward.
