Chapter 129


    Ben’s eyebrows furrowed. "It''s sote already, but Fane isn''t back yet. Could it be that he''s been


    kidnapped and can''te home? 300,000 isn''t enough topensate the Drake family. It doesn’t


    matter if he only beat up the bodyguards since they’re still from the Drake family!"


    "No...no way."


    Joan became even more worried when she heard this. She paced about anxiously but she could not do


    anything.


    Both Fane and Selena were not back in spite of thete hour. Did something really happen to them?


    "Those are the Drake family''s bodyguards, not your regr cut of bodyguards. 300,000 should be


    amplepensation if they were regr guards, but nothing is certain if they belong to the Drakes...


    "I''m just worried because Selena isn’t back either. Has Selena been taken too? What do we do if they


    ask us for ransom?”


    Andrew smoked a cigarette by the side. His heart began to palpitate in worry for his daughter''s safety.


    "Ransom? If they ask for ransom, we’re only rescuing our daughter. That knucklehead can''t do


    anything other than cause trouble. I’m certainly not using my money to pay for his mistakes!"


    Fiona said, huffing angrily.


    "Fiona, please don''t say that. Fane is a father. Besides, he put his life at risk for your 800,000 without


    hesitation. You can’t just stand by and let him die!”


    Joan feared that the rk family would kill their hostages in a surge of anger, so she pleaded and


    begged as much as she could. 1


    "Hmph. He was asking for it, don''t you think so? It was so obvious that Miss Tanya was just teasing him


    when she didn''t let him in. He could''ve turned around and left for home, no?


    "I think he''s gone nuts because of greed. The gall to charge straight into the Drakes'' estate! And when


    their bodyguards tried to stop him, he beat them up. Wasn’t he asking for it?"


    Xena said before Fiona could respond. Her arms were folded across her chest.


    "Yes, exactly! He asked for it himself!"


    Fiona nodded her head.


    "He...he was driven to this by you!”


    Joan was on the brink of tears. "He wouldn’t be so desperate for money if it weren''t for you. He had to


    give you 10 million dors for Grandfather Taylor’s 70th birthday, and you''ll only acknowledge him as


    your son-inw, no? Ridiculous! Of course he''d act brashly!" she snapped, her tone dripping with


    resentment. "He’s desperate for money because he


    wants your recognition. He wants your blessings!" 2

    "Like hell I care!"


    Fiona''s temper spiked. "Your son is a knucklehead who went about beating up the Drakes'' men, and


    you dare push the me on me? Did I tell him to go beat other people up?"


    "Why are you making such indiscriminate usations? Can''t you see who''s in the wrong here?"


    "Whatever it is, it’s not my mother’s fault,” Ben chimed in. "Even if Miss Tanya wasn''t lying to him, he


    would’ve needed to wait for at least a month before getting his first month’s sry, no? And Grandpa''s


    birthday is in three weeks. Hmph. Would he be able to make it anyway? Besides, his sry is 20


    million per month, not 30 million. He needs 30 million!"


    "I don''t care. If anything happens to my son, and if you don''t save him even if you have the money to


    do so, I... I’ll kill you!"


    Joan red straight at Fiona, the ferocity in her eyes terrifying.


    Fiona staggered backward in shock. "What a crazy b* tch," she gasped. "Making such baseless


    usations... And she dares to say something so unreasonable!


    Your son caused our family nothing but pain for the past five years. Every single damn day for the past


    five years. And you say something like that to me? Get a life!"
