- Chapter 399 - Will She Wake Up from Fright?
Usually, Beth asked nothing when Lawrence was out on a mission. She felt free and happy to do whatever she wanted when Lawrence was absent.
However, Beth became worried after Maverick mentioned the explosive device. She said nothing about her worry but wore a worried look.
No matter how careless Beth was, she was still a delicate and sensitive woman.
The careless Lawrence didn’t pay much attention to Beth because he had something on his mind. Therefore, he didn’t notice the reluctance shown by Beth. “You heard Maverick just now. Don’t throw a tantrum at me.”
‘Who wants to throw a tantrum at you?’ Beth thought. She paused and had an impulse to push Lawrence out of the house. ‘However, that isn’t the right time to make a fuss with him.’ Beth thought. She moved close to Lawrence, and then Lawrence felt some warmth on his lips. Lawrence stood transfixed with shock for a moment.
“Come back safely,” Beth said.
Then, Beth immediately retreated and closed the door in front of Lawrence.
Lawrence was stunned for another two seconds. He raised his hand, rubbed his lips, and then smiled gently. Then, Lawrence quickly went downstairs.
When Lawrence drove out of the neighborhood, Beth called Everly.
“Everly, do you know that Kailey is in trouble?”
“What? What happened?”
Everly, who lay on the bed and couldn’t fall asleep, immediately sat up.
Beth retold Everly what Maverick had said over the phone.
Everly grabbed her phone and felt a chill in her palm.
Beth didn’t realize her mistake till then.
Beth was anxious to share the news with her friend but forgot that Maverick was in danger too.
“Well, Everly, relax. Lawrence is there, and there is also the professional police force. Don’t worry.” Beth gritted his teeth. “I’ll go there now. I will keep you posted if there are any updates.”
“No, don’t go. Beth, it is dangerous…”
Before Everly finished her warning, Beth hung up the phone.
Everly felt helpless and thought, ‘Beth told me not to worry but ran to the scene on her own. How contradictory!’
Everly decided to tell Maverick this news after deliberation. However, she couldn’t reach Maverick, so she sent him a text.
Without those children, Everly might go to the scene like Beth.
There were Maverick’s daughter and Edmond in this house, so Everly couldn’t act recklessly as Beth did. Meanwhile, she was afraid of dragging Maverick down.
Everly was sleepless, so she went to check the children in their room.
…
Lawrence arrived at the scene quickly. The professionals were checking the explosive device.
It was late at night, and the wind was howling. There were noises made by insects and birds. It was a starless night with the moon behind the clouds. The atmosphere was depressing.
Maverick was not clear about the situation inside. He was anxious but pretended to be calmer than Lawrence.
Lawrence had a lot of questions that he hadn’t asked over the phone. ‘Why did Kailey get caught? Is it kidnapping or revenge? Didn’t Kailey come home from abroad just a few days ago? Lamont Group has declared bankruptcy, so people don’t think Maverick is rich. Then, this mess is possibly revenge.’ Lawrence thought.
“Uncle Maverick, is it an act of revenge? Do you know who got your mother inside?”
Maverick’s men saw Kailey being taken away, but they didn’t know who the culprit was.
As of now, Maverick hadn’t received any calls.
When Maverick thought of something, his mobile phone vibrated.
After one glance at the phone screen, Lawrence confirmed that he had guessed right.
Will’s voice came from the other end of the phone. It sounded as hoarse as the noise of one’s scratching the blackboard with his finger. “Maverick, Kailey is now in my hands. Give me money if you don’t want a dead body. Give me 1 billion, or I will chop off her fingers one by one and then burn her to death.”
‘1 billion! How dare he ask for so much money! He must be in a dream!’ Kailey thought.
“Dream on.”
Kailey despised Will. ‘This scoundrel cares about nothing but money! Why did I fall for such a beast?’ Kailey wondered.
Will raised his hand and slapped Kailey. “Bitch, don’t you want to gang up on me? You must forget that I have been in City C for many years!”
Kailey had no chance to escape when she realized that this was a trap.
Kailey fell into the trap because Will took advantage of her desire for vengeance.
Kailey was afraid of dying with regret instead of death itself.
Kailey would feel ashamed to meet her family and ancestors if she couldn’t take vengeance on Will before her death.
Will stared at Kailey with a gloomy look, “1 billion! Lamont Group must be worth that much.”
Will was suggesting that Kailey should be responsible for the bankruptcy of Lamont Group.
Kailey sneered. “What Lamont Group? Bullshit! The registered capital of your so-called Lamont Group was less than 100 thousand. How can it be worth 1 billion? How can it be possible? Everything you have is mine and belongs to the Waller family! The Lamont family was penniless!” Then, there came an exclamation of pain.
Kailey couldn’t speak because of the sharp pain. She broke out in a cold sweat, and the blood on her face quickly gathered in her eyes. Her eyes became bloodshot, which was the color of hatred.
Will cut off Kailey’s pinky. He picked up the severed finger in disgust and waved it in front of Kailey. “If your son moves fast, there is still hope for you to stitch your pinky up. Don’t blame me if you become disabled. Maverick doesn’t bring the money over quickly, so it is his fault.”
Never did Will admit his faults. Even if he made a mistake, he would shift the blame to others.
…
Maverick quietly clenched his hands into fists at the sight of the severed pinky.
Lawrence immediately ordered his men to take good care of this broken finger and keep it out of the sight of Maverick.
Although Maverick said nothing, Lawrence could feel his anger. Lawrence felt like standing next to a moving freezer, and its coldness penetrated his bones layer by layer.
“I’m going to call the bank in Switzerland.” Maverick needed a moment to be alone.
Lawrence didn’t know how to comfort Maverick, so he patted Maverick on the shoulder and said, “My men are ready.”
After the bomb was removed, the policemen would break in to save Kailey.
Lawrence was worried that Will would do something crazy again.
Tonight, Maverick must be the most embarrassed and tortured person.
His biological mother ran out to look for his biological father without informing Maverick. This would be a deadly trap for either party instead of a happy reunion.
Kailey was foolish, or in other words, her desire for vengeance was too strong.
Anyway, Lawrence felt it inappropriate for him to comment on the elders.
At three o’clock in the morning, there was a rainstorm.
Maverick sat in the car. The presenter of a radio show on the air warned the drivers of the slippery roads and the coming typhoon. He suggested that everyone should go home and have a good sleep.
Lawrence didn’t notice the typhoon till now. He was supposed to sleep at home when the typhoon came, but now…
The wind became strong, and the rain was heavy. The visibility became poor because of the weather, so the rescue became more difficult.
Something broke after a sharp crack.
Then, something hit the windshield with a bang. Lawrence looked at the windshield and saw a mouse. It was struggling to catch something to steady itself. However, the mouse was blown up into the sky the next second and then disappeared.
‘Fuck!’ Lawrence cursed in his heart. Then, he thought, ‘This typhoon is scary!’ He wondered if the woman at home would wake up from fright.
