Chapter 598 Gain His Trust


    Puzzled, Brodie questioned, "She''s your family? You''re from the Lewis family?"


    "Exactly," Xander replied confidently.


    He refrained from revealing their romantic rtionship, lest it incur Brodie''s wrath. Presenting


    himself as a blood rtive would suffice to convince Brodie of his determination to rescue Grace.


    Besides, he wasn''t lying, since he had grown up with the Lewises.


    Understanding Xander''s intentions, Grace stared at him and pleaded, "Just leave me, Xan."


    Xander widened his eyes in shock at her words, but he asserted firmly, "There''s no way I''m leaving


    you."


    Meanwhile, Benjamin waited for a chance to act. However, Brodie was highly alert, so Benjamin


    couldn''t risk putting Grace in danger.


    At that moment, Danzel''s subordinate approached them and reported, "The cars are ready, and the


    roads have been cleared."


    Danzel acknowledged the information with a nod and shouted at Brodie, "What do you want now?"


    "Tell your men to stay put. I''ll release her once I get to the border!" Brodie demanded.


    Unexpectedly, Xander stepped forward and said, "Don''t make things difficult for the chief. They


    have their jobs to do too. Let me take the risk, Brodie. Let me go with you."


    He put his life on the line with those words.


    Upon hearing this, Peter and Danzel were utterly shocked. They were about to interject when


    Xander raised a hand to stop them.


    "You''re crazy, Xan!" Grace eximed in disbelief.


    Brodie was taken aback by Xander''s resolute decision as well. He scoffed. "Do you realize what it


    means to go with me? You don''t seem to value your life, do you?"


    "What kind of person would I be if I left my family in danger? Brodie, did your boss ever inform you


    about the Lewis family? If anything happens to Grace, you won''t be able to survive anywhere.


    "I''m telling you this for your own good," Xander reasoned, his words gradually prating Brodie''s


    defenses.


    Ultimately, Grace sensed Brodie''s wall of resistance crumblepletely.


    With Grace held hostage, Brodie cautiously descended the stairs as the crowd parted for him. He


    made his way outside and halted in front of the waiting car. Turning around, he beckoned Xander


    over.


    "You,e along," he demanded.


    "Absolutely not!" Peter interjected hastily.


    "You stay on guard here," Xander ordered before confidently striding toward the exit and taking a


    seat in the car.


    Brodie followed suit, keeping Grace in his hold. Once inside, Brodie''s subordinate stepped on the


    elerator, and the car sped away


    Benjamin rushed out, eximing, "Why did you let him go, Chief Bradley?"


    To his surprise, Danzel replied casually, "Rx. We''ve positioned men along the way."


    When Benjamin heard the news, his furrowed brows eased in understanding. Yet he couldn''t wrap


    his head around one thing. "If you''ve deployed in advance, why did Xander—"


    "There''s no better n than having him willingly step into the game," Danzel stated.


    Benjamin was stunned. Even with their careful nning, there was still a significant risk involved.


    Despite that, Xander had decided to take that risk for Grace.


    At that moment, Larry approached Benjamin and whispered, "We''ve looked into Ms. Quine''s


    whereabouts, but she''s nowhere to be found."

    Benjamin hadn''t expected this, and his eyes widened in surprise.


    …


    Meanwhile, three cars were racing ahead down the open road. Brodie was sitting in one of the cars,


    with Grace and Xander on either side.


    The air inside the car crackled with tension, setting the stage for an intense journey ahead.


    Mario, Brodie''s driver, couldn''t help but ask, "Why did you let him tag along, Brodie? It''s too risky!"


    "You fool! Why do you think those cops let us go so easily? It''s because he''s with us!" Brodie


    retorted.


    He then nced at Xander and remarked, "That being said, you''re a clever one. You know it''s the


    best choice to work with me."


    Xander replied calmly, "I''ve transferred two billion dors into your ount. From the beginning, my


    only concern has been Grace''s safety.


    "As long as you stay true to your path, I trust your word more than the cops."


    Brodie scoffed at his words, yet a cold sweat broke out on his back. Even in this perilous situation,


    Xander remainedposed. Brodie realized he wasn''t someone to be taken lightly.


    "I''ll dly ept your offer then. You''re quite lucky to have such a caring brother, little woman."


    Amused, Brodie casually stroked Grace''s chin.
