Chapter 558: Found Out 

"Wait, don‘t leave yet—" Garrett reached for her hand and tried to stop her.

Laney shook off his hand and shouted, "Get away from me!"

Before Garrett could respond, she ran out the door with her luggage.

"If they want me, then they‘ll have to come and get me!" Garrett rubbed his temples.He knew hecouldn‘t stop her.

Laney went straight to the Pole Shadow.

The people there hadn’t seen her in weeks, so they all thought that something bad had happened toher.

After all, the news that the Burke family wanted her dead had spread some time ago.

"Laney, I think you should leave the country and go into hiding for a while," someone suggested, theirvoice riddled with worry.

But Laney didn‘t want to run away.She had been staying with Garrett for nearly half a month and wasbored out of her wits.

"It‘s okay.I‘ll stay vigilant.I‘ll kill whoever tries to kill me."

Seeing that Laney looked so confident, no one tried to talk her into running away anymore.They allknew she had it in her.

Laney stayed with the organization for a few days.

During this period, she did whatever she‘d normally do, but no one tried to hurt her.She was confused.

Did the Burkes just let her go? That wasn‘t like them...

Seeing that things had gone eerily quiet, Laney began to look for a place to stay near the Pole Shadow.

Coincidentally, she saw one of the hit men when she visited a housing rental agency.It was their leader,the tattooed man.He was chewing gum with his hands in his trouser pockets.He seemed to bewandering the street aimlessly.

When he saw that Laney was staring straight at him, he stopped and greeted her casually, "Oh, hey."

Laney’s eyes went as wide as saucers.

The strong tattooed man shrugged and walked past her, showing no intention of attacking her.

"Aren‘t you on a mission?" Laney followed him and asked curiously.

"Don‘t you need to kill me?"

The strong man raised his eyebrows and looked at her in confusion.

"It‘s been a long time since that mission was called off.Your boyfriend talked to the Burke family himselfand asked them to let you go, so they did.Didn‘t you know that?"

"My boyfriend?"

Laney was stunned.She paused for a while to put the pieces together.

When it all clicked, she was very angry.She dropped whatever she was doing and went straight toGarrett‘s place.

Garrett was munching on some chips when someone started banging on the door.He dragged himselfout of the sofa and went to open the door.

"Who is it? It‘s so early,"

But before he could finish his words, Laney grabbed him by the collar and threw him into the livingroom.

Although she was short, she was strong.

Laney pulled him up and pinned him down on the sofa.

"Garrett Harding, how dare you lie to me?!"

"I‘m sorry," Garrett said in a low voice.

He knew that she must‘ve found out the truth.He didn‘t put up a fight and just looked up at hersincerely.He then lowered his eyes and muttered, "I lied because I really enjoyed your company andwanted you to stay here longer..."
