Chapter 24 A Family Of Three?


    Chapter 24 A Family of Three?


    When L mentioned wanting to check his phone, Rex''sst shred of hope vanished.


    Having been by Miranda''s side for so long, he knew just how much effort she had put into this two-


    year agreement and how much it meant to her. If things were to be exposed, being caught by


    Miranda would be the least of his worries. Mason, who was protecting his own sister, would surely


    kill him!


    Therefore, Rex refused to let himself get caught. He took action and headed straight for Miranda!


    As long as he could take her hostage, no one would dare make a move against him. Once he


    escaped this predicament today with his skills and Isa''s protection on his side, he could do whatever


    he wanted in the future.


    Rex moved quickly with lightning-fast reflexes honed from years as a special forces soldier.


    Otherwise, he wouldn''t have qualified as Miranda''s personal bodyguard.


    However, just when he thought that victory was within reach and that he could grab hold of Miranda


    at any moment... another figure shed past even faster than him!


    Crack!


    "Ahh!"


    With a sharp sound, apanied by a wail, Rex''s body was sent flying. His right hand twisted and


    deformed, every bone in his arm shattered inch by inch!


    On Miranda''s delicate face, there remained a hint of surprise.


    She thought that she was going to be kidnapped by Rex.


    However, the next second, she saw a figure blocking in front of her.


    And Rex, unexpectedly flew out?


    A touch of brilliance couldn''t help but sh from her eyes.


    Miranda was well aware of Rex''s skills, yet he was not a match for L?


    Even being punched and sent flying?


    However, L''s actions did not stop there.


    Peng! Peng!


    Amid a dull thud and the sound of bones breaking, L ruthlessly severed Rex''s remaining


    three limbs with brute force, rendering himpletely powerless to resist.


    Looking at this scene, everyone''s face twitched!


    No one would have thought that the new fiancé that Miranda found would be so ruthless!


    Was he really a puppet, a gigolo?


    "Ah! Don''t!"


    "L, you devil! You won''t live for too long!"


    "You will not die a good death! You will suffer an ill fate!"


    Rex looked at L who was squatting beside him with a nk expression on his face, and let


    out fearful screams and curses.


    "Can you tell me, why do you have to make things difficult for me?"


    "Why do you have to be so difficult with me?"


    "Why do you have to look down on me?"

    Speaking of this, L''s eyes flickered and he punched Rex in the spine.


    This person was utterly ruined! Even if the bones of his limbs were reattached, he would still be


    confined to a wheelchair in the future.


    Rex screamed again and passed out directly from the pain.


    Yes, L''s moves can be considered ruthless!


    Since his daughter fell ill, he had experienced bankruptcy, selling the factory, his ex-wife''s betrayal,


    and so on and so forth...


    People''s feelings were warm and cold, and the world was full of coldness!


    All of this made his heart unusually cold and hard.


    The only soft and warm ce was left for Nora. So when it came to dealing with enemies, L


    showed no mercy.


    "Miranda, I''ll leave this to you. He wanted to harm you, and I acted in self-defense by taking care of


    him. You can handle this small matter, right?" L stood up and looked around.


    He also took Rex''s phone out of his pocket and handed it over to Miranda.


    At that moment, as L looked around, all thepany employees who met his gaze quickly


    averted their eyes. No one dared to meet his gaze.


    Especially those who had mocked and ridiculed L just now wished they could bury their


    heads in the ground.


    Shelly next to him had a wandering gaze; she seemed like she wanted to look at L but didn''t


    dare.


    Thinking about her mockery of L earlier this morning made Shelly feel scared afterwards.


    Miranda gave a deep look at L before taking the phone from him. The next second she used


    the phone to make a call.


    "How is it? Do you have any new information?" On the other end of the line was a cold and low


    voice.


    "Isa, do these vulgar tricks interest you?" Miranda gritted her teeth as she asked.


    The person on the other end paused for a few seconds before hanging up the phone.


    Miranda''s face flickered with mixed emotions, and then she coldly asked those around her, "What


    are you all doing here? Don''t you have jobs?"


    As soon as she finished speaking, the employees scattered.


    Miranda was a very strict CEO who was known to be an iceberg.


    ...


    A momentter, in the CEO''s office.


    Miranda had already called her family to send someone over to take care of Rex.


    When dealing with traitors like him, she would never choose to call the police. The family had their


    own way of handling things.


    "How did you find out about these bugs around me?" Miranda stared at L and asked.


    "Oh, I used to be a soldier," L casually replied.


    "Forget it if you don''t want to say," Miranda pouted andined slightly like a little girl for once in


    rare asion.


    Looking at the man in front of her, Miranda admitted that she was curious about him. However, her


    pride prevented her from asking any questions.


    This guy knew medicine, gambling and now it seemed he knew kung fu too? How could someone


    like him be forced to crash her car and seek death over a small medical bill?


    Shaking her head, Miranda didn''t have the energy to think too much about it. She sat in her office


    chair staring into space.


    Today''s events were a blow to her. The person she trusted most turned out to be a traitor. The


    anger and heartache were indescribable.


    After some time had passed, Miranda looked up at L for the first time with an expression of


    exhaustion and vulnerability.


    "L, do you think I can seed in my struggle? Sometimes I feel like I''m fighting for nothing!


    Ha ha..."


    "Of course you can!" L nodded firmly without hesitation.


    For some reason, the weariness in Miranda''s heart dissipated instantly as if L''s simple words


    had once again awakened her fighting spirit.


    "Good! I hope you can stay alive forever and be my husband."


    "I will always stay alive."


    L nodded again before changing his tone with a smirk on his face, "By the way Ms. Lowe, this


    time I helped you out again right? Can we talk about another condition?"


    Miranda rolled her eyes at him, "Go ahead."


    "Can I not stay in thepany anymore? There''s really nothing to do here. I just have to pick you


    up and drop you off every day, pretending to be your man. But mainly, I have to pick up and drop off


    my daughter from school," L said sheepishly.


    Miranda snorted but nodded her head anyway. "Fine! But if I need you, you bettere running!"


    she said with a hint of dominance in her voice.


    She remembered how her previous two fiancés had wanted to stick by her side all the time, even


    though it was all fake. This guy was different...


    "Oh yeah, is your daughter out of the hospital? Is she already going to school? How about we pick


    up your child tonight and have dinner together as a family of three?" Miranda suggested.


    "A family of three?" L looked at Miranda with a strange expression on his face.


    Feeling embarrassed under his gaze, Miranda huffed and said, "Yes! We''re supposed to be a family


    of three now since everyone thinks you''re my husband. As her supposed stepmother figure,


    shouldn''t I eat dinner with the child too? It''s only natural."


    L nodded awkwardly. "Yeah... yeah."
