Chapter 74
Steven took a step forward, but I held him back. He turned to look at me,
Benson was scared
. He yelped, then turned around to scurry away. As soon as he reached the entrance, he saw Michael walking in with a dozen bodyguards.
Benson instantly regained his confidence. He stuttered, “That nutcase is over there, Mike! Take him down, and send him to a mental hospital!!
I was alarmed to see Michael and his group of bodyguards. I stepped forward to shield Steven behind me. “What are you trying to do in broad daylight, Mr. Ford? Are you trying to intimidate others?”
Michael lit a cigarette and glanced at me. “Move aside,” he said.
“Only in your dreams.” I stared at him icily.
Michael took a puff of his cigarette and closed his lighter. Then, he looked back at his bodyguards and ordered, “Take him away.
“Michael, this is a society governed by law. How dare you take someone away just like that? Do you think this is lawful?” I stood in his way and gave the bodyguards a cautionary stare.
“The law? He’s a madman with no conscience at all. I’ll be doing the country a favor if I were to kill him.” Michael stepped forward as he spoke, his voice filled with hatred. “I’ll make him pay a
hundredfold for what he did to Stephanie.”
“What gives you the right to say such a thing?” I sneered and pushed him back.
Didn’t he know how he had treated Stephanie?
“Take him away!” Michael ordered again.
That made me frown. I knew that he was doing this for Yasmin’s sake.
It seemed that Rachel hadn’t sent Michael the video of Jack yet.
“Mike, I heard that Yasmin was abducted by this lunatic today. I won’t be able to sleep well if we don’t get rid of him. Besides, Yasmin is pregnant with your child. Your child is the most important,” Benson chimed in.
Michael was a little unhappy. “Shut up.”
Benson was taken aback.
“Michael!” Michael’s men approached Steven to capture him. Steven was quite agile, but there were more than ten people on the other side.
It was obvious that Michael had learned from past experience on how to capture Steven. A mere five or six people wouldn’t be enough to fight him, but a dozen men would be enough to get the job done.
“Let him go, Michael!” I wanted to stop them from taking Steven away, but Michael wouldn’t listen
to me at all.
He ignored me and ordered his men to take Steven away.
“Michael, don’t you want to find out who actually killed Stephanie?” I asked him. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Michael stopped in his tracks and looked back at me. “It was this madman who did it.”
“It was you,” I said through gritted teeth. I was filled with contempt for him.
Michael looked at me with a complicated expression and frowned as he said, “I won’t spare anyone who had hurt Stephanie.”
That sounded ridiculous to me. “What about yourself? Shouldn’t you be punished harshly too?”
Michael approached me and looked down at me condescendingly, with an oppressive air.
Subconsciously, 1 was still fearful of him. I took a step back.
“Don’t try to provoke me. Even if you tell Mr. Lincoln Senior about this, I won’t let him go today,” Michael said.
Michael’s eyes were red, and he looked as if he was ready to go all out.
“Think about the Ford family’s current situation. If you were to offend the Lincoln family, both parties would get hurt,” I threatened as I clenched my teeth.
He sneered. “Do you think that I care about that? Do you know what this madman did to my wife?”
Wife? I frowned. Was he referring to Yasmin?
Yasmin would know best whether Steven had harmed her.
“Even if I have to give it all I’ve got, I’ll make his life a living hell.” Michael’s voice was shaky. It sounded like he was really determined.
“Mr. Ford, I have a very interesting video here. Would you like to take a look?” Rachel asked as she ran into the mall, panting.
I had just sent her our location. I didn’t expect her to get here so quickly.
