Husband With Benefits-Chapter 618: Friends

"How can she be dead? No, no. This is not possible." The man shook his head in disbelief as he absorbed the news. Bianca had been his only connection to the outside world, the one who had helped him fake his death and was supposed to ensure he could escape safely.

"That is not all, sir. There is something else as well..."

"What is it now?" he demanded.

"The police are not going to be able to close this case, or yours."

"What do you mean they’re not going to close my case? I know for a fact that Bianca already changed the DNA reports. They should be closing it..."

"No. Someone leaked the report that Bianca was killed because she was trying to change the DNA report. The public is very angry and demanding that the DNA test be done again, this time with independent third-party laboratories."

Savoy’s ruddy face turned ashen then! Dam* it! All this was because of that Gabriel Frost. If it had not been for him coming and intervening in Auutmn’s life, all this would never have happened. He’d still be living a cushy life with Autumn and Arabelle at his beck and call.

"What do you mean, someone leaked the report? Who would do that?"

The messenger hesitated before continuing, "There’s more, sir. You are now the prime suspect in Bianca’s murder. The authorities believe you had a motive to silence her, and with the public’s outrage, you’re a hunted man."

Savoy’s hand clenched as he paced the room! This was not supposed to have happened. He’d made sure to grease every palm and blackmail everyone who could not be bribed. How did it all fall apart, just when it was time for the next plan.

Gregory Savoy clenched his fists, his mind racing. "This can’t be happening. I’ve covered every track, paid every bribe. How did it all fall apart?"

"What about the lady who contacted me? Your boss?", he demanded, desperation creeping in his voice. It was on her advice that he’d done this. If now, she left him with a problem, then he would have nothing left. No way to wriggle out of this problem.

She’s asked you to lay low for the time being, sir. She said she will help you move once the dust has settled."

"Lay low? That’s all she has to say?" Savoy spat, his voice rising with anger. "I trusted her advice, and now she wants me to hide like a coward?"

The messenger took a cautious step back. "Sir, she believes it’s too dangerous to act right now. She said she’d help you move once the dust has settled."

"Settle? There’s no settling this! Not when the whole city is against me!" Savoy’s mind raced as he tried to think of his next move. "I need more than empty promises. I need action."

The messenger shook his head, "Sir, my boss already has made arrangements. The problem is on your end because someone killed Bianca. In fact, this has created a hitch in our otherside smooth plan. We know for sure, Gabriel Frost is not behind this because we’ve been keeping his people occupied. But someone has been onto your plan and rhey are digging about. Someone who has an agenda against you probably and has access to all your secrets. We need to flush this person out first. The one who is stirring up the trouble."

Savoy slammed his fist on the desk. "Find this traitor, and do it quickly. I want them dealt with before they can cause any more problems."

"We’re already working on it, sir. We’ve narrowed it down to a few suspects, but it will take time to confirm. In the meantime, you need to be careful. Trust no one."

"Of course, I won’t. What about Autumn? Can we not bring her here? It is safe..." Gregory licked his lips as he said this. It had been a few days since he had seen her beauty.

Even the messenged shuddered uncomfortably as he witnessed the man’s lust and shook his head," There is no way we’ll be able to take Autumn for now. At the moment, Gabe Frost’s are keeping a close eye on her and a look out for any suspicious movements.

Savoy’s expression darkened further. "So, you’re telling me I have to wait and do nothing?"

"I’m afraid so, sir. Any move now would be too risky. We can’t afford to draw any more attention."

Savoy gritted his teeth. "Fine. But I want daily updates on her status. The moment there’s an opportunity, we take it. I want her with me! I don’t care about anything else."

The man nodded and walked out of the room. Once outside,he dialed a number and waited.

"Mrs Winthrope. We have the man and he is being fully cooperative. Also, Gabriel Frost has not yet realized that you gotten in touch with the man.

Elena smiled then." The saying that the enemy of an enemy was a friend, wass deifnitely true."

Now, she would use this man to lure Gabe an his new sife but then have something waiting for them. And when the time came, she would simply place let Gregory Savoy take all the blame with Gabe focused on him. Gregory Savoy was a pawn, a useful distraction for Gabe Frost. With Savoy obsessed with Autumn, Elena could move her pieces on the chessboard without much resistance or warning.

She then opened the file on Savoy and the woman he was obsessed with, before a name caught her interest and she narrowed her eyes. Arabelle...

Her fingers clenched, the name reminding her of her own daughter... She narrowed her eyes and looked at the picture of the child carefully. So, this girl was the reason why Gabe had married Autumn?

She was the replacement of her daughter in Gabe’s life. This was fate. She would now take care of those Frosts and this little girl, Arabelle, would replace her Arabelle. She’d have a lovely daughter to raise again...

"Don’t worry, Arabelle. Mommy is coming for you."
