Sean replied, "John was the one who told me not to tell you."Cordy simply held his gaze, so he added, "You know his misgivings. He didn't want to worry you."Cordy still did not reply, and the air between them was left in stiff, awkward silence.Suddenly, she asked calmly, "What's the situation now?"It was as if everything John did would not affect her at all, and the current situation concerned her more."He must have obtained evidence of the Lynds' crimes over the years, but they caught on as soon as he got it," Sean replied. "He's in their custody right now, and I only received a text from him.""What text?" Cordy asked."See for yourself," Sean said and handed Cordy his phone.Cordy stared at the photo, which obviously showed the location where he kept the documents.But that also meant his chances were not optimistic.Cordy and Patrick were silent for a long while after seeing the photo.In the latter's case, he felt depressed in a way he could not describe.Still, h

Keith was glaring at John murderously, as if he could murder John at the next instant.However, John never expected to escape unscathed after he had done what he did.That being said, the Lynds' influence in organized crime was far beyond what he imagined—he just presumed that the family had connections with certain groups, and it was not after he procured that document that he found out the extent of their horrific power!Even the Cranstons—the so-called most powerful family in the nation—would never win against that. The Lynds would crush them sooner or later!That was why he was ready for the worst when he chose to turn around, and his only wish was for Sean to retrieve the document before the Lynds did… otherwise, the Lynds just might dig six feet under like Keith promised and find it before long.He closed his eyes, genuinely giving up on struggling—he had done his best, and the rest was up to fate.Seeing that John remained unmoved, the murder in Keith's glare became even m

John shook his head ever so slightly. The Lynds would never trust him, let alone allow a ticking time bomb to leave.In fact, they would kill him whether he talked—sooner if he did. "I promise you with my life, Lucas." Nana persisted nonetheless. "Just tell us where the documents are, and I can take you away with me. We'll leave this place forever and never come back!""That's impossible," John said feebly, just as he did not want to drag Nana down with him.He could tell that Nana would have no place in the family because of this either. In fact, if the Lynds were feeling a little less forgiving, she would be dealt with the same way he was. In fact, that was why he returned to Nana's room when he realized he had nowhere to run. Most importantly, he could make it clear to the Lynds that Nana was innocent, that she chose to side with her family instead of him.Even if they wanted to fault her, they would have to take that into consideration and be lenient toward Nana."This m

As Nana quietly heaved a sigh of relief, the bodyguard asked respectfully, "Should we wake him, Ms. Lynd?"Nana was hesitant, but her father did give her just two hours. If she let John sleep now, Keith would kill him when he woke up."Yeah," she replied.The bodyguard nodded, and turned to gesture at one of his boys, who picked up a bucket of water and splashed it down his head.John was jolted awake the instant he was splashed, the anguish causing him to grunt without control.Nana frowned—John did not hurt that much even when she whipped him.And for an instant, she thought he might die from sheer pain."It's concentrated saltwater," the bodyguard explained, probably noticing Nana's confusion.Nana wheeled on him and snapped, "Saltwater? Are you crazy?!"John was covered in wounds, and now splashed with saltwater… she was scared to imagine how much that would hurt!"That's the quickest way to wake him," the bodyguard replied respectfully.Smack! Nana had suddenly slap

Nana could not believe that Lucas Lynch turned out to be John Levine.But she had to, because that was reality.Was that why John loved Cordy so much that he could die for her?"Nana," John said then, "don't waste your time on me. It's not worth getting yourself into trouble because of me.""Why not? Because you'll never love me?" Nana asked through tears."Yes." John nodded without hesitation."What if you never knew Cordy? Would you fall for me?" Nana asked meekly."Never." John remained resolute. "There's no 'what ifs'. I won't ever fall for any woman other than Cordy.""But weren't you happy with me before?""In retrospect, it was just licking each other's wounds and compromising.""Lucas!" Nana cried, almost breaking down right then. "Can't you just lie to me once in the end?! Why do you have to be so cruel to me?!"John simply stayed silent, and Nana was left laughing as her tears gushed.Yes—his love for Cordy was so sacred that not even death would sully it an inch.

Doug was the person Jean trusted most. One might even say that she trusted Doug more than her own family in this manner, which was why she did not question his words.She thought then that it was fortunate that Nana was rational enough that love did not cloud her mind, and she picked her family rather than her man.Otherwise, she would not stand there alive!Jean's eyes narrowed, and she barked, "Keep looking! It wouldn't have disappeared into thin air!""Yes, ma'am."-There was only silence in the black car outside Lynd Manor, and the skies were slowly turning dark.Cordy asked Sean, "Have you any idea how we'd get in to retrieve the document?"Sean shook his head—barging in was clearly impossible.With the Lynds on high alert, both sides would only lose.There was even less chance for them to find some reason to get inside—this was a critical period for the Lynds. Not even a fly would be allowed in, let alone them. In fact, making a move now would only arouse the Lynd

Sean was silent for a while, but he soon started calling his people.There was no denying that Cordy's idea was the best one they had right now—and the longer they delayed, the less ideal the final outcome would be.In fact, Cordy was right—things looked bad for John no matter what happened, and the only thing they could do now was not waste his sacrifice.Everything was ready in ten minutes, though Sean turned to look at Cordy and asked, "Are we really doing this?"Cordy nodded.This was their only option—get the document, and John just might get a shot at survival.And with that, Sean barked into his phone, "Go.""Yes, Mr. Cranston."And in just half an hour, Lynd Manor was covered in flames.-The towering inferno seemed to ignite out of nowhere.It started outside the Lynd Manor compound, but with the electric fences as well as the lush vegetation, the fire only continued to build up.Within the manor, the servants were crying, "Fire! Fire! The compound is on fire!"Ev

Keith growled with rising indignation then, "He probably wasn't working alone, no—he must be working with the Cranstons. Lucas would never have infiltrated the study if Sean did not lure us out of the manor. And who else could dare set fire to our home, let alone have the balls to do it?!""We fell for their ploy?! We were this close to greatness… but they turned the tables on us?!" Jean cried, her body shaking with rage right then."Mom, it's not the time for regrets. We have to go—the fire is getting worse.""If we do, we'd be letting the Cranstons in to get the document and destroy us!" Jean snapped viciously.Though Keith was speechless, anyone could tell that the fire was to cause confusion while the Cranstons sneaked in to take the document."No, I'll stay," Jean growled resolutely. "I shall see who would have the spine to barge into my house!""But it's really dangerous, Mom. If we can't stop the fire—""Go!" Jean said, making up her mind right there and then. "I've lived
