Chapter 942 The Male Lead Can Only Be Me


    Luke got Gale to find several bodyguards that Riley was not familiar with. They wore masks and lurked


    within the hospital with prop knives.

    In the next examination, Johann told Riley that she should walk around to aid in her recovery, and he


    also told her that she could be discharged in two days.


    Riley could not wait to be free from that closed environment. She begged Rain to let her take a walk in


    the garden downstairs.


    Rain initially refused her request, as the n dictated.


    Then, Riley name-dropped Bianca, which made Rainply.


    Rain pretended that she was helpless against Riley''s request. She arranged two bodyguards who were


    in the n to escort her.


    Riley went downstairs with the bodyguards. She was happy but remained cautious, wearing a mask so


    that she would not be recognized.


    The bodyguards that were lying in wait pretended to harm her. To make her not suspect anything, they


    had to injure her a little.


    They bumped into Riley''s forehead, though her bodyguards managed to fend off the two pretend


    viins.


    After suffering from the shock, Riley thought that Melissa had sent those two bodyguards to kill her and


    begged Rain for help.


    Rain said that she only acted under Luke''s orders, and she was under no further obligation to carry out


    any of Riley''s requests.


    Riley could understand the implications in Rain''s words, so she agreed to cooperate. She called the


    police to record her statement and told them everything in detail.


    After Bianca heard all that, she gently rubbed Luke''s chin. Luke''s beard stubble tickled Bianca''s


    fingers.


    She should have known that Luke did something behind the scenes and shattered Riley''s hope that


    someone else would save her.


    "If one day you decide to retire as a CEO, you can be a scriptwriter," Bianca joked.


    Luke grabbed her hands and said jokingly, "Alright, then you can be the female lead." "If that''s the


    case, won''t you have to hire a male lead for me?" Bianca gazed at him. Her eyes were brimming with


    love.


    "The male lead can only be me." Luke hugged her and nted an overbearing kiss on her lips.


    Bianca responded to the kiss by pouring all her passion and love into it.


    Melissa sat on the couch in the Lerche residence, browsing her phone for news. The assassin


    organization had not contacted her for a while, so she could only find information about Riley online.


    She suspected that Luke and Bianca had hidden Riley somewhere. Despite engaging in the services of


    a private detective agency, she had not managed to find Bianca''s whereabouts.


    Bianca seemed to havepletely disappeared from A City. The only thing she found was that Bianca


    had appeared at a police station once, but that was not because of Riley.


    With no other solution, Melissa could only issue a bounty online.


    Melissa was angry and frustrated that she had no clue where Bianca was. When she prepared to go


    downstairs, her phone suddenly rang.


    A string of random numbers showed up on her phone screen. She quickly headed back to her


    bedroom, closed the door, and answered it.


    "How inefficient can you get? To think that I''ve paid you money for this! I want to raise aint! I''ll


    expose you on the Inte!" Melissa yelled into the phone to express her dissatisfaction.


    She had been happy but apprehensive over that period.


    She was happy that Bianca''s reputation in A City was in tatters. On the other hand, she was


    apprehensive that Riley and her assassin had gone missing, and the assassin organization could not


    find any leads.


    The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds." Ms. Lerche, instead of


    comining here, why not spend the time to figure out how to cover your *ss?" He sounded quite


    hostile.


    "What do you mean?" Melissa thought that the assassins wanted to take revenge against her.


    "Go look at the Twitter ount of your target, thene and talk to us." The man gave her a reminder


    to make up for the fact that the assassins were not able to finish the job.


    He ended the call, and Melissa could only hear the busy tone from the phone after that.


    She sat down on the couch and opened the Twitter app.


    She had known Riley''s Twitter handle from a previous investigation. When she entered the name, she


    saw that there was a new update.


    It was a video, too.


    After Melissa watched it, she could not help but curse, ''That b*tch!"


    Riley had announced that the person who harmed her was not Bianca Rayne but Melissa Lerche. At


    the same time, she was safe under Luke Crawford''s protection, and she had given her statement to the


    police.


    ‘The police...’


    Melissa suddenly understood that the call from the assassin organization was to tell her to run away.


    ''That b*tch Riley has already informed the police. The police will be here soon.''


    Melissa tossed her phone aside. “No, they can''t arrest me."


    She quickly stood up, took out her suitcase from the closet, stashed several clothes inside, found her


    ID and passport, and prepared toy low overseas.


    The servant knocked on her room door. "Are you inside, Miss?"


    Melissa zipped up her suitcase and told the person outside the door, "I''m here. Get the driver to


    prepare the car. I want to go out for a bit."


    As she said that, she walked toward the bedroom door and opened it.


    When she saw the police officers behind the servant, she dropped the suitcase and fell sitting down on


    the floor.


    The servant quickly helped her up. "What''s wrong, Miss?"


    Melissa struggled to get to her feet and pretended to be confused. "Who are they? Why are they here?"


    "The police are here to look for you, Miss. They said that they need your cooperation in an


    investigation." The servant did not check the Inte, so she did not know that Riley had reappeared


    and used Melissa of being the mastermind.


    "And you believe them? You''re so silly to let those impostors in!" Melissa red angrily at the servant.


    She did not expect that the police woulde to look for her so fast!


    How was she going to escape?


    Melissa''s head spun. She was not going to outrun those police officers.


    ''What can I do...''


    The police officers shed their badges. "We are real police officers, Ms. Lerche. We are suspecting


    that you have harmed Ms. Riley. Please cooperate with us for the investigation." "Nonsense! I don’t


    know who Riley is! Also, you must have faked your badges! Quick, call the police!" Melissa pinched the


    servant and tried to remainposed.


    "Ah!" The servant shrieked in pain. She hesitated as she looked at the police officers in front of her.


    Should she call the police?


    Would they me her if they turned out to be real police officers?


    "There''s no need, Ms. Lerche. If you don''t cooperate, then we''ll have to bring you back by force." A


    police officer took out a pair of handcuffs.


    In despair, Melissa thought of an idea. She shrieked in agony, closed her eyes, and fell on the floor.


    "Miss!" The servant was shocked and quickly supported her.
