A lowlife like Thomas was nothing to Brian.It was his sister's honor to have her heart given to Melissa. How dare he attempt to murder Melissa?Now Melissa had lost her womb and could never have her children of her own anymore. "I should've gotten rid of him back then, too!" Brian thought. But who would've thought a lowly peasant like Thomas would come to Keman and assault Melissa?Sean thought for a bit in silence before asking Brian, "We couldn't keep imprisoning him like this. I'll bring him to the police station." "No!" Brian objected. Realizing he was overreacting, he placed the water glass at his side and said, "I mean you can just give him to me. There's no need to trouble you. You're already busy with Kingston Empire. Don't be too hard on yourself." Brian patted Sean's shoulder. He genuinely cared about Sean overworking himself. Although Melissa and Sean were only married on the surface, they still lived together. When Melissa went home for dinner with Brian, she
Brayden pressed his lips and stammered, "Y-Yes.""Where is he now?" Brian asked solemnly. Brayden knew he shouldn't say Angeline had taken Thomas away. Otherwise, with Brian's love for his lone daughter Melissa, he might possibly get rid of her, too. "I'm sorry, Mr. Lane. But Shane told me not to tell anyone." Without giving Brian a chance to speak, Brayden quickly continued, "How about I call Shane and ask him to call you instead? "But don't worry, Mr. Lane. How dare this bastard dare to injure Melissa? I'll never let him off or let him die that easily!" Brian's forehead creased. "Brayden! Don't I have the right to know where that murderer who hurt my precious daughter is?" "O-Of course! Of course, you do, Mr. Lane! It's just that I'm scared Shane would beat the crap out of me! How about this? I'll call Shane right now. Then I'll call you back immediately!" Brayden said before taking out his second phone and dialing Sean's number, getting ready to call him if Brian insisted
Since Angeline had asked Sean to take Thomas back before, it would make sense he would send someone after her when Thomas was missing. Besides, Brayden knew Angeline had taken Thomas away. So, if he wanted to take Thomas back, he would definitely go after her, too. Although they changed into another car midway, it only slowed their progress of finding him without guaranteeing they could safely arrive at the airport. Angeline helped Thomas buckle his seatbelt before buckling herself and asked, "Could you go faster? We're almost at the airport!" Jamie clenched onto his seatbelt. His breathing quickened slightly. Seeing the car following behind speeding toward them, the driver accelerated. Angeline held onto Thomas, who struggled to hold his hand on the driver's seat before him. He said weakly in a husky voice, "They're coming for me. Just leave me at the roadside, Angie. I can't drag you into another mess anymore!" "I said I'll help you. What are you worrying about?" Angeli
Angeline's palms were sweaty. She would never let Sean take Thomas away, no matter what it took. As the driver accelerated, his heart rate increased to 180 beats per minute. The pursuers were also telling their drivers to drive faster. If they let Thomas reach the airport, they would never catch him with just the three of them.They had contacted the other allies to help, but they would never make it in time. The three pursuers saw the airport at a distance. Just when they thought Thomas had gotten away and thought about how to explain to Brayden, they saw a Hummer rammed toward Angeline's car, knocking it over and turning it upside down. The pursuers slammed on the brake. They saw the Hummer stopped beside Angeline's car, and the passenger rolled down the window to look before making a phone call. The passenger then glanced at them before speeding away. The three pursuers were shocked and looked at each other. Then the driver, Stan, asked, "What do we do?" "We should call
"But Mr. Kingston will investigate this! Didn't we find that Mr. Kingston has been taking care of Ms. Lawson because he owed the Lawson family a favor?" Callum whispered. "Mr. Kingston is a loyal and righteous man. If he finds out something happened to Ms. Lawson, I don't think he'll—""Yes, Shane is loyal and righteous, just like his father," Brian interrupted with his eyebrows furrowed. "It's Ms. Lawson's fault for meddling in this! But our people had confirmed she was shielded in the car. Also, Brayden's men were behind them, too. So they wouldn't let anything happen to Ms. Lawson! "Regardless, I'll never let go of that man who almost killed my daughter! If all else fails, we can always have Brayden take the blame as a last resort. We have nothing to do with this.""Understood, Mr. Lane!" Callum replied.… Angeline, Jamie, Thomas, and the driver were sent to the nearest hospital around the airport. Brayden circled the room in panic after receiving the news. He didn't know h
After all, Melissa needed Sean more than Angeline needed him currently. As compared to Melissa, Angeline only had minor injuries. Besides, it was Thomas' fault that Melissa had lost her kid and ability to conceive.After hanging up the phone, Brayden clenched his fist, cursing for Thomas to be dead. But when he remembered his promise to Angeline, he changed his mind and wanted Thomas to stay alive. After contacting the bodyguards, Jamie then contacted Asher. Asher and Robert knew Angeline had gone to Keman for her friend, Thomas. After hearing from Jamie about the horrifying incident they had gone through that day, Robert became restless and immediately left for Keman after settling everything in the house. The trip from Krontos to Keman was short. Angeline was awake and listening to Jamie's update about Thomas' condition when Robert arrived. "Granddad? Why are you here?" Angeline asked in surprise. Robert pursed his lips before he questioned, "What did I tell you before y
"It wasn't me. My men were the ones who saw the car accident and sent you all to the hospital. So technically speaking, I've saved your life." Brayden was dissatisfied with Angeline's attitude. "I heard that Gardner dude came out of the operation alive. Are you happy now?" Angeline didn't reply to Brayden. Instead, she asked, "If it wasn't you, was it Shane?" It was the first time Brayden heard Angeline refer to Sean as Shane this coldly. He furrowed his brows. "His subordinates acted inconsiderately. It was out of Shane's control! Aren't you safe and alive now? Why are you so mad? If your friend didn't try to kill Melissa, would all of these have happened? "Do you know Melissa had lost her kid, and she can never conceive anymore? Do you know how much pain Melissa is going through right now? Did you do it on purpose, Angeline? You know Melissa had Shane's baby, so you sent your friend to cause trouble? Also, if you hadn't taken your friend away from me, all of these wouldn't have
This also meant that even if Melissa had chosen Tina and had someone kill her to take her heart, Sean would still protect Melissa. It was the same for Angeline. She couldn't stop Thomas from avenging his sister just to make herself feel at ease, nor could she not do anything to save Thomas, who had once saved her son. The endless hatred between Thomas and Melissa made Angeline and Sean go against each other. Angeline even believed Sean would choose Melissa over her if he had the choice. However, Angeline had nothing else to threaten Brayden with, so she had no choice. Judging from how Brayden went silent, Angeline knew he felt threatened. "Are you sure you're breaking up with Shane just because of a friend?" Brayden asked curiously."It's easy for you to get Thomas back to Lonla safely, right?" Angeline asked without answering Brayden's question. "Yeap, very easy!" Brayden nodded. "Alright, that's a deal!" Based on Angeline's tone and attitude, Brayden knew Angeline ha
