Chapter 558

“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 he couldn’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 to
her. 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, their
voice riddled with worry.

But Laney didn’t want to run away. She had been staying with Garrett for nearly half a month and was
bored 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 all
knew 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 be wandering 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 himself and 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 to Garrett’s place.

*******

Garrett was munching on some chips when someone started banging on the door.

He dragged himself out 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 living room.

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 her sincerely.

He then lowered his eyes and muttered, “I lied because I really enjoyed your company and wanted you
to stay here longer…”
