Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 297

The next thing I knew, Lynn's knees gave out, and she slumped to the floor, unconscious. I quickly caught her and placed her on the couch.

Quintus went to wash his hands in the bathroom. When he returned, he told me, "You don't have to worry about anything, sir. I'll take care of the rest. I'll also make sure that no one bothers this lady."

With that, he left Lynn's apartment. I used a damp towel to wipe Lynn's face. Soon after, she regained consciousness. Tears began streaming down her face as soon as she opened her eyes.

"Are you crazy, William? How could you kill someone in broad daylight? Many people live in this area!" she cried. "How am I supposed to explain why a body was thrown out of my window?"

Lynn broke into sobs, covering her face.

I consoled her, "Don't be scared. Quintus said that he'll take care of it. No one will ask you anything, so don't worry."

"I'm not an idiot. I'd never put my future on the line if I weren't sure I could handle this."

Lynn stopped crying when she heard my explanation but still looked weak and exhausted.

"Still, you shouldn't have done it. Mr. Cummings said that his men know he's with me, and now, he's dead. They'll come for me, regardless of whether I had a hand in it."

"Like I said, I'll take care of those people. Stop worrying."

Lynn still clearly didn't believe me as she held her face in despair. I didn't know what else to say that could make her believe me. Soon, I heard noises outside the building.

I went over to the window and peered down. A crowd had gathered around Oscar's body.
