Chapter 414 Taking Him Out

Eligos stared at the news broadcast in disbelief, watching Claire Peterson stride out of the police station like she owned the place. His plans hadn’t just gone sideways—they’d crashed and burned. She’d been out of lockup in under five hours, smirking, no less, with her entourage in tow. Eligos gripped his wine glass, his knuckles turning white. With a snarl, he flung it across the room, where it shattered against the wall, wine dripping down in dark, bloody streaks. “Unbelievable. This wasn’t supposed to happen,” he muttered, his gaze fixed on the television. He hit replay, watching the scene again, seething as Claire stepped confidently out, flanked by an older man and a woman. The man, he quickly realized, was none other than Mr. Saint Laurent, the kingpin of the global business world. His fury surged as he considered her connections. So, Claire had friends in high places. He’d always known she was well-connected, but seeing Saint Laurent by her side was a slap in the face.
