From Ashes of Scandals to His Embrace novel Chapter 372

As soon as the man finished talking, everyone behind him dropped to their knees. With their boss admitting he was wrong, what else could these guys do but follow along?

Foley and Egan stared, completely stunned. Who would’ve guessed Laurinda was somehow mixed up with these people?

Egan leaned in close to Adolphus and whispered, “Adolphus, that shipment worth hundreds of millions… was it Laurinda’s?”

Adolphus just shot Egan a look and kept quiet, standing right behind Laurinda, clearly waiting to see what move she’d make next.

Laurinda glanced at the blood soaking through the man’s pants. The icy sharpness in her eyes faded just a bit.

“Use the cargo on your plane to pay me back,” she said.

“Laurinda, we can’t! That cargo belongs to the Austin Family… this…”

“Then you can pay with your lives instead.”

The man fell silent instantly. He was terrified of pushing Laurinda any further. If she snapped, they’d all be dead, and the cargo would still be gone.

After a long pause, he finally ordered his people, “Get the goods from the plane for Laurinda.”

His men didn’t hesitate for a second. Someone took off running right away.

Once they were gone, the man looked up at Laurinda, putting on his best fake smile. “Laurinda, does that mean we can have Nightingale back?”

“Sure. Take all your people and get out. I don’t want anyone left behind.”

With Laurinda’s permission, the man quickly sent someone to bring Nightingale back from the top of the warehouse.

It didn’t take long. Nightingale was carried back, limp and bloody, with his hands hanging uselessly at his sides.

The man’s heart skipped a beat. He hadn’t expected Laurinda to be so cruel, just destroying someone like Nightingale without blinking.
