Chapter 654

It was almost 10 o’clock when Hattie arrived at Malloy’s private apartment. They had an extra scene to

night, which ended late In addition, she was afraid of being followed, so she took a detour and arrived l

ater than expected.

As soon as her car stopped outside the apartment, she heard cars speeding towards them, about five c

ars with 20 serious–looking people getting out and heading straight into the apartment.

Hattie’s eyes darted around quickly as she retrieved her phone, intending to call Malloy. However, she

hesitated with

her finger hovering over the screen Eventually, she decided against making the call and immediately bl

ocked Malloy’s number

Inside the apartment,

Malloy grew increasingly impatient waiting for Hattie’s arrival when suddenly Brooks and his men barg

ed in instead

Half an hour later, Malloy was brutally beaten

to the point where his face was unrecognizable. Brooks stood over him with a cold voice,

“Do you have any idea who you kidnapped today?”

Curling up on the floor, seeing red and in great pain, Malloy could barely speak, “1–I don’t know”

“I’ll enlighten you, Brooks said, glaring at him with deadly intent. “One of them is Mr Lamont’s nephew,

and the other is Mr. Lamont’s girlfriend”

Fear widened Malloy’s eyes, and he slowly retreated.

Brooks squatted down in front of him and inquired, “Does Hattie have any involvement in this?”

Terrified, Malloy shook his head, stammering, “N–no!”

Think carefully before you speak Brooks said emotionlessly, holding a syringe in his hand.

Scared to the point of wetting his pants, Malloy cried and stammered, “It was my idea I know I was wro

ng I won’t do it again, I swear!”

“No more chances for you! With an emotionless tone, Brooks injected the clear liquid into Malloy’s spin

e

In a matter of moments, Malloy let out a pig–

like shriek, rolling around and smashing his body against the wall His face contorted in agonynovelbin

As Brooks left the room, he called Jonathan, “Mr Lamont, Malloy confessed He said it was his idea

On his way to the Royal Mansion, Jonathan’s voice was cold, Teach him

a lesson, then call the police. Tell the Hearn family not to bother saving him, cause I won’t let the whole

Hearn family off

“Yes, sir!” Brooks replied

Hattie parked her car in a secluded area, carefully observing the happenings around Malloy’s apartmen

t. After approximately two hours, the police arrived and took Malloy into custody.

She witnessed his bruised and bloodied face as he lay curled up on the stretcher, his

screams filled with agony

Terrified and drenched in a cold sweat, Hattie clutched the steering wheel, trembling uncontrollably Onl

y once the police and everyone else had departed did she gather herself, start her car, and drive away.

When Jonathan returned to the Royal Mansion, Estelle had just finished taking a shower. Wearing a loo

se, white silk pajamas, she was standing in the living room drinking water when

he entered. She exclaimed, “You’re back so soon?”

Jonathan held her close, his long fingers running through her soft, damp hair, pressing her against his c

hest but still feeling uneasy.

Estelle wrapped her arms around him, soothingly saying, ‘Don’t worry, I still have self–protection skills.”

“How can I not worry? Jonathan kissed the top of her head, his voice deep and somber, I was scared t

o death”

Estelle leaned her head against his shoulder, feeling comforted

Jonathan inspected the bracelet marks on her wrists, her fair and delicate skin made the bruises partic

ularly prominent.

He picked her up, placed her on the sofa, and applied medication to her wounds from the first aid kit
