    Chapter 1572 Refuse To Live In Shame


    Lawrence walked toward his desk, took a lighter and a pack of cigarettes out of the drawer, and lit a


    cigarette only after returning to the window. Not a man who would smoke regrly, he would only do so

    when he felt troubled.


    Half a packter, he finally sat down and gazed at the family photo on his desk, seemingly having


    made up his mind.


    Knock, knock.


    A knock came on the door all of a sudden.


    ‘‘Come in.’‘


    ‘‘Ms. Sonia’s kidnappers have died, General Lawrence,’‘ a man reported as he entered.


    Lawrence frowned immediately.


    ‘‘How did they die?’‘


    I haven’t even fought back yet. Who could’ve done this?


    ‘‘We’re not sure yet. All we know is that it was a woman who did it. She had them thrown into a river,’‘


    the man answered respectfully.


    Lawrence looked grim. And who could this woman be? Why did she feed Sonia’s kidnappers to the fish


    like that?


    His mind brimmed with confusion and suspicion.


    Back at the hospital, Harvey was just as muddled.


    ‘‘You mean it was a woman who instigated the kidnapping?’‘


    Sonia nodded. ‘‘She said we swapped purses by ident. I don’t know what was inside hers, but it


    seemed really important to her.’‘


    She was still rattled by the incident. Her father was a general but nothing more than that, and she had


    disclosed his status despite being unsure if her kidnappers would be wary of him.


    Thankfully, they did fear her father and dared not vite her. Had they touched her, she would rather


    die than live in shame—even if Harvey still wanted her.


    Harvey pondered deeply. What could’ve made that woman take such a huge risk by kidnapping Sonia?


    ‘‘Don’t be afraid. It’s all over now. I’ll protect you from now on.’‘ He looked up in time to see Sonia’s


    petrified expression, and he pulled her into his arms immediately.


    She calmed down right after hearing hisforting words.


    Still, her fears were real, given that it was her first time encountering such an ordeal after all her years


    of living.


    ‘‘Didn’t you say she’s visited your house? Do you have surveince cameras at home? Get your


    parents to watch the footage and find out if that woman’s face can be seen. Anyone who daresy a


    finger on my woman is going to feel my wrath.’‘ Harvey’s heart ached when he saw how terrified Sonia


    looked.


    I don’t care who that woman is. Once I find her, I’m going to make her pay dearly!


    With a nod, Sonia used Harvey’s phone to dial her father’s number as she didn’t have her own device


    with her.


    As a general, Lawrence didn’t usually pick up calls from strangers. But this time, for some reason, he


    answered his phone right after ncing at his screen.


    ‘‘Father, this is Sonia. I’m using Harvey’s phone.’‘ Sonia understood her father’s habit of not answering


    calls from unsaved numbers, so she immediately identified herself.


    ‘‘Are you feeling better?’‘ Lawrence asked, feeling d that he didn’t reject the call.


    Sonia answered with a brief ‘‘yes’‘ before repeating what Harvey had said to her.


    Lawrence couldn’t help but gain a better impression of Harvey. He hadn’t expected thetter to be


    investigating this matter too.


    ‘‘All right. I’ll forward any footage I find to this phone.’‘


    Meanwhile, another woman felt apprehensive as she spoke into her phone, unaware that she was now


    being looked into.
