Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 294: Cleansing the Family Ranks

"I’ll go out and check first; you guys push The Vipers into the meeting room, bed and all."

"Yes."

The warden met Cole Vaughn in the meeting room.

Looking at the once emaciated, gloomy young man who seemed like he’d be blown over by the wind at any moment, now taller than him, the warden sighed.

"Cole, long time no see."

Cole Vaughn was still the same as before.

His hair was slightly long, seemingly unkempt, hanging by his ears.

His skin was pale, with a few strands of fringe slightly covering his eyes.

Gloomy, lifeless eyes.

A hint of puzzlement flashed through his eyes, and then he nodded slightly, "Officer Liu."

The warden was not bothered by his demeanor, as Cole Vaughn had always been this way.

"I heard you wanted to see The Vipers?"

The warden probed.

Cole Vaughn nodded, without any expression other than "Mm, I used to fight in the black market under him, he kind of appreciated me."

The warden was a bit surprised.

With Cole Vaughn’s slight build, he actually went to fight in the black market?!

The warden knew about black market fighting; it was practically a life-and-death battle, but likewise, the payout was extremely high.

No wonder Cole Vaughn had managed to live alone until now, turns out he fought in the black market.

Given their different circumstances, the warden didn’t push him about fighting in the black market.

It’s everyone’s own choice.

"Alright then, come with me."

"But that guy’s in bad shape now, so don’t be scared."

Since Cole Vaughn was someone he had watched over for several years, the warden was fairly kind to him.

"Thank you."

The warden took Cole Vaughn to a meeting room.

Cole Vaughn and The Vipers were separated by a glass wall, and they could only communicate by phone.

Cole Vaughn looked at The Vipers, who was struggling furiously on the bed like a madman, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The warden sighed, "You can see what he’s like now, probably won’t pay any attention to you."

"I’ll give it a try."

Cole Vaughn said.

The warden didn’t say much, seeing Cole Vaughn’s determined look, "You only have ten minutes, say what you want to say."

After that, he left the meeting room.

Cole Vaughn stepped forward and picked up the phone.

The prison guard placed the phone by The Vipers’ ear without caring whether he could hear or not, then left the meeting room.

Cole Vaughn watched The Vipers with eyes wide open, struggling madly through the glass.

He suddenly spoke, "It’s me."

His tone no longer indifferent as before.

But was filled with biting coldness and a commanding demeanor.

The Vipers started to thrash wildly, staring intently at Cole Vaughn, laboriously uttering words, "Cole... Cole Vaughn!... Help... help... help me..."

He seemed to have grasped a lifeline, using his remaining sanity to speak those words.

After uttering these words, he began to struggle on the bed again.

The drugs tormented him continuously; his mind was exceptionally clear, yet his body kept engaging in self-destructive behavior.

Cole Vaughn’s eyes were filled with mockery, "Now you’ve become a stray dog, I’m here just to... tidy things up."

His words were cruel and cryptic.

The Vipers widened his eyes, "No!... No!... I haven’t... I haven’t yet..."

Unfortunately, no matter how The Vipers howled, Cole Vaughn had already left the meeting room.

As soon as she stepped out, she went straight to Stardust Entertainment to find Hugh Kensington.

Lea Dutton was already waiting for her in her office.
