    Chapter 1662 I Will Cut Off My Hand


    Following their gaze, Arielle turned around and rubbed her brow wearily when she located the object of


    their consternation.


    Didn’t we agree to let me speak to them beforehand before she showed herself? Why can’t she hold it


    in? I was about to open my mouth.


    “I can’t believe you found her, Ari. You’re really good,” Sonia eximed, turning to look at Arielle after


    shooting daggers at Lorraine.


    She had developed a vehement hatred for her kidnapper at the memory of how the few men had


    almost vited her.


    Lawrence was also gazing admiringly at Arielle. He was delighted that Arielle had seeded where he


    had failed.


    “Men, take her in!” Lawrence ordered as he redirected his gaze toward Lorraine.


    She must be sick of living to abduct my daughter!


    “Hang on!” Arielle said hastily when the sentry took a step toward Lorraine.


    Lawrence and Sonia looked at her in puzzlement.


    “This is between me and them, Boss. You don’t have to intervene.” Lorraine did not wish to put Arielle


    in a difficult position. She then turned to Sonia and Lawrence. “Sonia is aware of my reason for


    kidnapping her. I just wanted to take back what was mine, but I went about it the wrong way.”


    Lorraine looked Sonia in the eye and continued, “I have never intended to hurt you. I was going to set


    you free after taking back what belonged to me, but I did not expect the men to be bold enough toy


    their hands on you. I threw them to the sharks after I found out about it.”


    Stunned upon hearing the word “Boss,” Lawrence and Sonia did not register her words after that. Sonia


    gaped at Arielle. Am I hearing things? How is Arielle her boss?


    Arielle knew she owed the two people before her an exnation, so she recounted the tale of how


    Lorraine became one of hers.


    “I am willing to pay for the things I have done,” Lorraine said, gazing steadily at Lawrence and Sonia.


    Upon hearing Arielle’s exnation, Sonia became more at ease about the prior matter of Lorraine


    kidnapping her. It was also fortunate that she did not sustain any actual injuries.


    Despite his daughter’s relief, Lawrence was not as forgiving. He had initially intended to arrest Lorraine


    to pay whatever harm that had befallen his daughter back tenfold.


    Now that she had inadvertently be one of Arielle’s people, he did not quite know what to do.


    Lawrence felt conflicted. The punishment would not be able to appease his resentment if it were too


    light. However, he thought it would be disrespectful toward Arielle if the sentence was too severe.


    Lorraine could sense Lawrence’s dilemma. Fortunately, she had expected this scenario ande


    prepared. She produced a de from her bosom while gazing at Sonia and Lawrence.


    “I will cut off my hand in apology to Sonia!” Lorraine dered, raising the de to hack her left wrist off


    before bringing it down. Fortunately, Lawrence threw a kick when the de was about to fall on her


    palm. His gesture was so abrupt that it flung the knife out of Lorraine’s hand.


    Lorraine gazed at Lawrence, confused.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Sonia did not expect that Lorraine would offer a hand as penance. Her heart was in her throat during


    that harrowing moment. Just when she thought all was lost, she heaved a sigh of relief when her father


    kicked the de away.


    “Offering your hand isn’t the only way to make amends,” Sonia said as she looked at Lorraine.
