Chapter 70 Hit over
At this moment, Claudia took Nora and got into the car, unaware that two pairs of eyes were watching everything.
“Mason, Nora just got picked up. Should we intercept?” Dennis called Mason for advice.
“Picked up? By who?” Mason’s voice tightened on the phone, clearly concerned.
“It’s Mr. Willis’s ex-wife, that woman named Claudia,” Dennis said in a low voice.
Hearing it was Claudia, Mason relaxed a bit. “The kid’s biological mother?”
However, he had thoroughly investigated Lachlan and knew what kind of person Claudia was.
With a cold snort, Mason asked, “What does she want with the child?”
“We don’t know either. Mason, what should we do? Follow them?” Dennis asked.
Mason thought for a moment and ordered, “Follow them! My brother-in-law’s ex-wife is not a good person at all – heartless to the extreme! There is no reason for her to come see the child!”
“You guys follow them first and tell me their location at any time; I’ll come over immediately.” Mason was now extremely concerned about Lachlan and Nora’s situation.
As soon as there was even the slightest movement, Mason knew he had to take action himself. After all, it was his niece, the daughter of his brother-in-law and a dear family member. He couldn’t afford any mistakes.
Twenty minutes later…
Claudia parked her red Volkswagen Beetle on a secluded road with no surveillance cameras and led Nora out of the car by the hand.
This was where Tiger had instructed her to wait for him so that she could “hand over” the child to his men.
“Mommy, where are we? I thought you said we were going to find Daddy? Where is Daddy?” Nora looked around anxiously at their surroundings.
It was too quiet here.
Impatiently, Claudia snapped back at her daughter, “What’s with all these questions? Your father will be here soon!”
“Really? Why do we have to meet him here?” Although young and innocent, Nora wasn’t stupid. Seeing the quiet surroundings and feeling a little scared, the child began to reach for calling Lachlan.
Miranda had given her a location-tracking watch with a built-in calling feature that allowed her to dial a few pre-programmed numbers.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Claudia, upon noticing this, panicked! She grabbed Nora’s delicate and soft wrist and forcibly ripped the location-tracking watch from it.
“What are you doing? Can I sell you even if I am your mother? You only have that useless father in your heart, right? It’s good that I don’t love you!” Claudia angrily cursed, and her mind became even more stubborn.
Nora was so scared that she cried out “wow” and wanted to break free from Claudia’s hand and get off the car.
“Daddy! Daddy…”
“Shut up! Stay still and behave yourself!”
Claudia sternly scolded Nora and forcefully pulled her back, delivering two smacks to Nora’s rear end.
Even more, she covered Nora’s mouth with her hand to prevent her from crying out loud.
She always felt guilty when doing this today.
The little one’s mouth was covered, and she could only mumble and cry out for her father with a faint sound.
Big eyes looked at Claudia, tears falling down with a “plop plop” sound.
The previous Nora only knew that her mother had abandoned her and her father, and was not too concerned about her.
And at this moment, for the first time, there arose in her heart a repulsion and fear towards Claudia.
At this moment, a Toyota Land Cruiser could be seen driving from afar.
In the car were two menacing-looking men. From a distance, they spotted Claudia and Nora standing by the roadside, and a cold smile appeared on their faces.
Just then, the person in the passenger seat’s phone rang, and he answered it respectfully, saying, “Mr. Webb!”
“How’s it going?” Tiger asked in a low voice.
“That woman has already taken the child to the designated location. We’ve seen them, and we’re now taking the kid back,” the person replied.
“Good! Don’t make any mistakes!” Tiger said satisfactorily and gave some instructions.
“Don’t worry, can a little kid cause trouble?” the big man laughed sinisterly.
Tiger replied with a grunt and hung up the phone. However, at this moment, the people in the Toyota Land Cruiser did not notice that there were several SUVs hidden on both sides of the road.
Inside a Land Rover, Mason sat in the back seat with Dennis and Jeremy in the front.
“Boss, look, isn’t that Leo’s car, one of Tiger’s men?” Dennis pointed ahead.
Jeremy squinted his eyes and said in a cold tone, “What? Claudia wants to give Nora to Tiger?”
Mason’s face changed and he looked grim as he spoke. “This is bad! It must be aimed at my brother-in-law. This despicable person actually wants to use a child for their scheme!”
Lachlan had already beaten up Josiah and killed Tiger’s henchman Black King Kong at the Lowe family estate.
At this moment, Claudia took Nora away while Tiger’s men appeared on the scene.
Mason immediately realized that there was a terrible conspiracy going on!
“What do we do, bro?” Dennis asked.
“What else can we do? Let’s go! Ram into them!” Mason shouted fiercely with an intense expression.
Vroom!
The next second, accompanied by the roar of an engine, a Land Rover suddenly rushed out from the side of the road!
Boom!
It then slammed heavily into the Toyota Land Cruiser from its side.
The impact was so strong that the Land Rover spun around before coming to a stop, smoke billowing from its hood. The Toyota Land Cruiser, on the other hand, flipped over and rolled twice before finally coming to rest.
…
“Mr. Ward, Dr. Bailey, Mr. Bates, I raise my glass to you all! Thank you for your help; otherwise my wife’s medicine would have been left to rot in the warehouse!” Lachlan filled his glass and stood up solemnly.
But Erik and his companions waved their hands dismissively as they downed their drinks in one gulp.
“Dr. Wills, we were just adding icing on the cake! Your medicine is bound for greatness. And can you believe it? Your ‘Love Light’ leukemia treatment is only selling for 50 dollars a box! Even your factory price is incredibly low – it’s like you’re not even making any profit at all! As fellow doctors, we are humbled and impressed by your work. I raise my glass to you!” Clifford’s face was flushed as he stood up and spoke loudly.
“You got that right! Dr. Willis- here’s another toast from me! Cheers!” Vincent exclaimed excitedly.
They drank with Lachlan without holding back at all; each drink seemed like an expression of their sincerity towards him.
Even Erik who had heart problems drank several glasses without hesitation.
In his words, anyway, Lachlan was here and he couldn’t be killed by alcohol!
“It’s not as noble as you all make it out to be. It’s just that my daughter also has leukemia, so I can empathize. Come on, let’s drink!” Lachlan laughed and waved his hand before downing the drink in one go.
After setting down the glass, Kiera next to him glanced at him and picked up the bottle to refill his glass.
During this meal, Kiera could tell that Lachlan had no interest in her despite being known as the most beautiful woman of the Ward family.
He kept talking about how great his wife was or how successful her company was or talking about his daughter. It seemed like he was afraid people wouldn’t know he had a wife and child…
Many men outside would try their best to hide their wives or children when they met a beautiful woman. How could someone like him be so different?
Kiera used to have some reservations towards Lachlan but now those were gone and she felt slightly resentful instead.
Was she really not charming enough?
“Mr. Willis, let me raise a toast to you too.” Henry approached Lachlan with a glass in hand since it couldn’t just be Erik and other elders drinking with him all night long; it was time for young people of their generation to liven things up.
“Cheers!” Lachlan chuckled. However, just as he was about to raise his glass, a series of urgent phone rings interrupted the moment.
Henry waved his hand and said, “Mr. Willis, please take the call.”
Lachlan made an apologetic gesture and answered the unfamiliar number, “Who’s this?”
“Wills, can you guess who I am?” came a cold voice from the other end.
