Chapter 153
\nThree Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 153<\/p>\n
Aiken\u2019s brows pulled together. \u201cWhat did they say?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey wanted me to tell the girl in 1208 that she\u2019s\u2026 garbage. A pest\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Aiken\u2019s face went hard in an instant. The delivery guy shrank back, words drying up in his throat. There was more. He was supposed to say that she\u2019d better leave Cabinda, or this was just a warning. The real trouble was yet to come.<\/p>\n
He clamped his mouth shut, then finally blurted out, \u201cThat\u2019s really all I know. Officer, please, I\u2019m sorry, I didn\u2019t mean for things to get this far. Don\u2019t send me to jail, please? And don\u2019t report me either. My mom\u2019s not well, I have to buy her medicine\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
His words started tumbling out, voice getting shaky as he pleaded.<\/p>\n
Aiken waited for him to calm down, then asked for the overseas contact number and the account info that had sent the money. Everything was still on the delivery guy\u2019s phone. Aiken handed it off to a colleague, but the results weren\u2019t good.<\/p>\n
They could trace it, but only up to a cross-border transaction. The actual organizer was out of reach.<\/p>\n
From experience, Aiken knew these sorts of cases rarely went anywhere. The person behind it knew exactly what they were doing. Even if they did get through, the police had no authority overseas.<\/p>\n
Cases way more serious than this one often ended up with nothing, and this was just a bag of trash left at Bonnie\u2019s door.<\/p>\n
Aiken had no idea how to explain this to her. She already seemed scared, like she was living with her heart in her throat.<\/p>\n
Without a clear answer, there was no way she\u2019d ever feel settled.<\/p>\n
He left the rest for his colleague and went looking for Bonnie. She was sitting quietly, legs pressed together, holding a bottle of milk, her toes only just touching the floor. She looked so small, so careful. Fragile.<\/p>\n
Her face was pale, half-hidden by the scarf he\u2019d given her.<\/p>\n
Even local cases took forever to unravel. With someone hiding out in another country, it became almost hopeless. Whoever was behind this had planned everything. This was revenge, and all aimed at her.<\/p>\n
But she couldn\u2019t do anything about it.<\/p>\n
Her breath came faster. Seeing her like that, Aiken\u2019s chest tightened. He reached over and gently held her arm, fingers warming her through her sleeve.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll see if there\u2019s any link to those girls from before. You really should go home for the next few days. Don\u2019t stay by yourself. I\u2019ll come get you whenever I\u2019m free. If you get any strange deliveries or packages, don\u2019t open them. Wait for me, okay? Sometimes in cases like this, we have to wait to see what the other person does next. The more they move, the more clues we find, alright?\u201d<\/p>\n
Bonnie wanted to say it had to be Hannah, but she had no proof. If Hannah was gutsy enough to pull this off, she\u2019d definitely find a way to play innocent. Going after her would be pointless.<\/p>\n
A heavy sense of helplessness settled on her. After a long pause, shoulders caving in, she finally managed a small \u201cOkay.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-821","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/821","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=821"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
