Chapter 287: Life Has Lost Its Meaning
Free didn't know what Larry wanted to do,
But he still chose to help him.
"Alright, I'll take you out first."
Larry waved his hand slightly, "I told you, find me a double quietly. I can't just leave like that. You need to find someone with a similar height and build as me. Once I sneak out, I'll make a human skin mask. Then you can quietly bring him to the detention room."
Free frowned and asked, "What exactly are you planning?"
"The less you know, the better."
"Okay."
Free nodded.
He quickly made arrangements.
He found someone in the army with a similar height and build as Larry, and then quietly let Larry out.
Larry then started making a human skin mask, allowing the double to replace him and enter the police detention room.
Larry began making another human skin mask.
For tomorrow's medical conference, he definitely couldn't show up as himself.
Since he couldn't use his current appearance, he made a mask of what he looked like ten years ago, which was also the chairman of The Serpent Group, Larry, who had appeared recently.
Meanwhile.
A certain hotel in Sunset City.
In the presidential suite of the hotel.
A young girl was curled up on the sofa, expressionless, her eyes lifeless, as if she had lost her spirit.
She was Trinity, the victim of this morning's incident.
In the hotel room there was also Tarquin.
Seeing Trinity like this, Tarquin was deeply worried and he tried to talk her out, "Trinity, don't worry, I will not let that bastard off easily. I want him to spend the rest of his life in prison."
Two other women were also sitting nearby.
They were Abigail and Chloe.
Chloe, seeing the victim, couldn't imagine what Larry had done to her to make her like this.
"Trinity, is there some misunderstanding? I know Larry very well; he would never do this."
"Enough!"
Tarquin stood up, pointed at the door, and shouted, "Get out, you're not welcome here."
Abigail quickly stood up and persuaded, "Tarquin, don't be angry. No one wanted this to happen, but it has. Now we need to find out the truth and make sure the person who was responsible for this gets punished."
"What truth? At this point, are you still trying to explain for that bastard? I let you in because you're women. Now get out."
Tarquin started to drive them out.
He drove Abigail and Chloe out of the hotel room.
At the door, Chloe kept crying.
Abigail held her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, we'll figure out something. Let's go back and rest for now and wait for news from the lawyer."
Abigail took Chloe back.
They had come to see Tarquin to persuade him to drop the charges against Larry.
But they failed.
Shortly after Abigail and Chloe left.
Tarquin's assistant walked in and respectfully said, "Tarquin, the chairman of the Epoch Group, Sue, is here to see you."
Tarquin was slightly taken aback.
The chairman of the Epoch Group, Sue?
He had no connection with the chairman of the Epoch Group. Why would she visit?
This was a big figure, and Tarquin didn't dare to be negligent. He instructed, "Please show her in."
"Alright."
The assistant left and soon brought Sue in.
Sue was wearing a white jumpsuit. She had a tall figure, an outstanding temperament, and was carrying some gifts.
Tarquin quickly stood up to greet her, "Ms. Cox, please have a seat."
Sue glanced at Trinity on the sofa.
Tarquin invited Sue to sit and asked, "Ms. Cox, what brings you here?"
Sue put down the gifts, sat on the sofa, and said, "I heard about what happened to Trinity and came to check on her."
Tarquin was puzzled. He didn't know Sue and had no connection with her. The chairman of the Epoch Group, a billionaire, had come to see his daughter Trinity, why?
After a brief moment of daze, he looked grateful and said, "Thank you on behalf of Trinity, Ms. Cox."
Sue waved her hand slightly and then said, "Tarquin, I also heard about Trinity's situation. Could there be some misunderstanding?"
Tarquin's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Ms. Cox, are you here for Larry, to explain on his behalf?"
Sue did not deny it and nodded slightly, "Tarquin, you may not know, but Larry is the behind-the-scenes owner of the Epoch Group, worth trillions of dollars. He is not short of beautiful women around him. If he wanted, countless women would throw themselves at him, and he also has a beautiful wife. I really can't believe Larry would be involved in such a scandal."
"The behind-the-scenes owner of the Epoch Group?"
Tarquin was also shocked by Larry's identity.
He didn't expect that the Larry who raped Trinity had such a significant background.
"Yes."
Sue nodded and said, "There must be some misunderstanding. I believe in Larry's character; he would never do such a thing."
Tarquin was intimidated by Larry's identity.
But only for a moment, he reacted and said coldly, "I don't know him. Who knows what you rich people are thinking? Maybe you just want to play something exciting, thinking that money can do anything, thinking that money can settle everything. I'm telling you, it's impossible, absolutely impossible. Larry raped Trinity, and I will definitely sue him. I want him to spend the rest of his life in prison."
"Name your price."
Sue consulted with the lawyer and knew that the evidence was conclusive and very unfavorable to Larry.
She looked at Tarquin and said, "How much money would it take to settle this?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Get out!"
Tarquin was furious, stood up, pointed at the door, and shouted, "Get out!"
Sue frowned.
In this era, is there really someone who doesn't want money?
"How about one million dollars?" Sue offered.
Before coming here, she had investigated Tarquin. Although he was a calligrapher with some international fame, he wasn't very wealthy. One million dollars was already a considerable amount for him.
"Get out!"
"Ten million dollars."
"I said get out!"
"One hundred million dollars."
"Get her out!"
Tarquin was unmoved.
Even when Sue offered one hundred million dollars, he wasn't tempted.
His assistant walked in, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Ms. Cox, don't make it difficult for me. Please leave."
Sue took a deep breath. Tarquin was not going to budge, so she had to think of another way.
She stood up, looked at Tarquin, and said calmly, "I believe you are not a fool and can analyze the situation. Think carefully, with Larry's wealth, does he need to rape Trinity?"
Leaving this remark, she turned and left.
Tarquin sat on the sofa.
Sue's words kept echoing in his mind.
She made a valid point.
Larry was the behind-the-scenes owner of the Epoch Group. With his assets, money was just a number to him. Did he really need to do this?
Tarquin saw the lifeless look in Trinity's eyes, and it broke his heart.
Although he didn't believe Larry would do such a thing,
He trusted his own eyes more. The facts were the facts.
"Trinity, don't worry. I will definitely avenge you. No matter what background Larry has, he must go to jail."
"Dad."
Trinity looked up slightly, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at Tarquin.
"Trinity."
Tarquin walked over.
Trinity threw herself into his arms and cried out loud.
"Dad, what should I do? How can I live on in the future?"
"Trinity, I will definitely help you get revenge and make the bad guy pay. The trial is the day after tomorrow. Can you testify against Larry in court? If you don't want to, I won't force you. With the evidence we have collected, it's enough to put Larry in jail."
"I don't know...I don't know."
Trinity's mind was in turmoil.
She couldn't forget what happened in the morning.
She couldn't forget a man like a beast constantly assaulting her body.
She helplessly roared, cried out in pain.
No matter how she pleaded, the other party was indifferent.
She felt life was meaningless, and she thought of death.
Perhaps, only death could bring relief.
