Chapter 281: Abigail's Tease
Last night, Chloe didn't sleep at all.
Abigail stayed with her the whole night.
At dawn, she kept calling Larry.
But Larry's phone was always off, no matter how many times she called.
"It's already 10 o'clock, why isn't he back yet?"
Chloe paced anxiously around the room.
"Chloe, don't worry, Larry will be fine."
Abigail had an inexplicable trust in Larry because he was Black Dragon, a top expert among twenty-eight countries, and even an army of a hundred thousand couldn't do anything to him. A few mere assassins couldn't possibly harm him.
"But why is his phone still off?" Chloe said with a worried look, she sat down, holding Abigail's hand. "Abigail, let's call the police."
Abigail felt helpless.
'Call the police?'
'Would that help?'
Although she didn't know who exactly had captured them and Larry last night.
But from Larry's conversation with Cason, she could roughly judge that the police wouldn't be able to handle this.
Moreover, when she returned last night, the entire Sunset City was sealed off by the military force.
It was clearly a battle between super big shots.
Just when Chloe was extremely anxious, Larry returned.
He pushed the door open and walked in, noticing Abigail was still there, with a smile on his face. "You're still here?"
"Honey!"
Seeing Larry return safely, Chloe immediately rushed to him, threw herself into his arms and cried.
After crying for a while, she suddenly realized and anxiously asked, "Are you okay?"
Larry said with a smile, "What could happen to me?"
"Last night, I saw you got shot. Let me see."
As Chloe spoke, she started to pull down Larry's pants.
"Honey, what are you doing? Abigail is still here."
But Chloe wouldn't listen, forcibly pulling down Larry's pants, revealing a gunshot wound on his thigh.
However, Larry's physical condition was extremely strong.
In the medical books he had obtained, the key was the body's self-healing ability.
Theoretically, as long as the self-healing ability is strong enough, any injury can heal automatically.
Larry had trained for a long time and had taken a lot of medicine during his training. His body's self-healing ability was very strong. He didn't use any medicine, but in just one night, the gunshot wound on his leg was almost healed.
And it didn't affect his movement anymore.
When Chloe saw that the wound on Larry's thigh was almost healed, with some new flesh growing, she was astonished.
Abigail also saw Larry's wound and was shocked, her mouth wide open.
Normally, when someone gets a gunshot wound, they need to be hospitalized.
But Larry got shot, twice, and in just one night, the wounds were healed?
"Honey!"
Larry smiled and said, "It's just a minor injury, it's okay. Last night, I used a special medicine I prepared, and now it's fine."
Only then did Chloe feel relieved.
Larry quickly put his pants back on, looking at the shy Abigail, and awkwardly smiled, "Sorry for the embarrassment."
"It's okay," Abigail said generously.
Chloe then pulled Larry and asked, "Honey, who were those people who captured us last night? How did Abigail get released, and how did you escape?"
She asked several questions in one breath.
Larry smiled and said, "Didn't you see the whole city was full of military when you came back last night? Naturally, it was the military who intervened, and that's how I was saved."
"Then who were they?"
Before coming back, Larry had already thought of an explanation.
He took a deep breath, put on a serious expression, and explained:
"They were foreign assassins, enemies of Black Dragon. They wanted revenge, but Black Dragon is already dead, and because you were associated with Black Dragon, they came after you. I was also once a subordinate of Black Dragon and had a grudge with them, so I was captured too. But now it's okay, they've all been caught."
"I see."
After learning the reason, Chloe felt scared.
She didn't expect that even though Black Dragon was already dead, these people would still come to Sunset City to target her.
"I really have nothing to do with Black Dragon. I just saved him ten years ago, and now that Black Dragon is dead, why would they come after me?"
Larry said helplessly, "How would I know? By the way, I haven't eaten since last night. I'm starving."
"Let's go out to eat," Chloe said, pulling Larry along.
Larry glanced at Abigail and asked with a smile, "Abigail, you're the vice president of the Epoch Group. Aren't you busy? It's already 10 o'clock, shouldn't you be at work?"
Abigail knew exactly what Larry meant.
He didn't want her to tag along.
She smiled and said, "I've already taken the day off. I don't need to go to the office today, and I haven't eaten either. Let's all go out to eat together."
"Abigail, thank you for staying with me last night. I really wouldn't have known what to do without you. Let me treat you to a meal," Chloe said, holding Abigail's hand.
Abigail looked at Larry with a smug expression.
Larry felt helpless.
He had wanted to have a one-on-one date with Chloe, but now Abigail was coming along.
He didn't say anything and just turned to leave.
The three of them went out together and randomly chose a restaurant, getting a private room.
In the private room, Larry sat next to Chloe and Abigail sat across from Larry.
The three of them chatted and laughed.
Larry was really hungry and kept eating.
But Abigail's high heels kept kicking him, rubbing against his leg, and she smiled at him mischievously.
Larry glared at her.
Abigail didn't stop; instead, she intensified her teasing of Larry under the table.
Larry felt awkward and couldn't continue eating.
He put down his utensils and said, "I'm full."
Then he leaned back on the sofa to avoid Abigail's reach.
Chloe was unaware of all this and continued chatting with Abigail, praising her for becoming the vice president of the Epoch Group.
"Honey, take your time eating. It's too stuffy in the private room; I'm going outside for some fresh air."
Larry got up and walked out.
He went outside the restaurant, squatted at the entrance, and lit a cigarette.
In the private room, Abigail was laughing so hard she was almost in tears.
She hadn't expected that the famous Black Dragon, who remained unfazed even in the face of an army of a hundred thousand, could also have such an awkward moment.
"Abigail, what are you laughing at?"
"Nothing," Abigail said, holding back her laughter.
She changed the subject and asked, "Chloe, Larry spent so much money to help you cheat and make you famous. Isn't that a waste of money? What's the point of helping you cheat? You don't know any medical skills, and entering the top hundred will only make you a laughingstock."
Abigail's question reminded Chloe of this matter.
Chloe felt helpless.
"Yeah, he's wasting money. He borrowed millions of dollars behind my back. Now the Lewis family is almost out of money, and he's borrowing money from outside. It's really adding to my burden."
Abigail said seriously, "Chloe, Larry doesn't deserve you. He's not doing anything proper and is associating with some shady people. He'll only bring you trouble sooner or later. Listen to me, divorce him while you're still young and don't have kids. You should find a wealthy man and marry him."
Abigail wanted to pursue Larry.
If Chloe didn't divorce Larry, she wouldn't have her chance.
Chloe also said seriously, "Abigail, I know you're looking out for me. Larry is indeed not ambitious and not very proper, but he's still very good to me."
Chloe pouted slightly.
Abigail ate while thinking.
Chloe was her good friend, and she didn't want to openly compete with Chloe for Larry.
She had to find a way to make them divorce, so it wouldn't hurt their friendship.
But if Chloe didn't divorce, she had no way to proceed.
After thinking for a moment, she smiled.
"Actually, I find Larry quite good. At least last night, facing so many armed assassins, he wasn't afraid at all. Chloe, I think I'm falling in love with him. What should I do?"
Chloe was slightly stunned and looked at Abigail in shock.
