From Ashes of Scandals to His Embrace novel Chapter 362

“Laurinda, we could work together, you know. Just like we did back at the training camp.”

Kenny reached out his hand, hopeful. He never wanted to be on the opposite side of Laurinda, but somehow, that’s where they ended up.

“Work together? So you can stab me in the back?”

Laurinda let out a cold laugh. She wasn’t that naive girl anymore. She valued her life way too much to give anyone the chance to hurt her.

“Are you really not leaving?” Laurinda held his gaze, not blinking. Kenny was too clever for his own good. Letting him stay around would only cause her more trouble.

“I can’t go, Laurinda. You have your mission, and I have mine. I hope you get that.”

“Yeah, well, screw your understanding. If you won’t leave, I’ll make you.”

Laurinda pulled a knife from her pocket and charged straight at him.

Kenny didn’t move. When the blade went in, he just closed his eyes. If you looked close enough, you’d see a faint smile on his lips.

Laurinda yanked the knife free and leaned in, whispering in his ear, “I gave you a chance.”

Kenny sat down hard, staring at the blood on his hand. He let out a low grunt. Same old Laurinda—she never held back.

When she got back to Lunaria Lakeside, her phone started ringing as soon as she opened the door. Jack was on the other end, sounding anxious.

“Laurinda, did you hear about Kenny? He’s in Cabinda. He got attacked.”

“I know. I did it.”

Laurinda’s voice was totally calm, not a hint of emotion.

Jack went silent, like he wasn’t sure he heard her right. He had to ask again.
