Chapter 157: Is Our Father Dead?

I sighed. Right now, we had absolutely no way of knowing what was happening over there, so worrying was useless. I could only suppress my anxiety to think of a way to resolve the trouble at hand.

Anessa looked at me and asked.

“So what do you plan to do now? If needed, I will mobilize a sum of money under the name of the secretariat for you. This is also something Mr. Leo instructed beforehand, so if you need it, just say the word.”

It seemed Leo had planned com

  • Married To Him Again, No More Devotion   Chapter 165: The Capture of Nolan Oliver

    Chapter 165: The Capture of Nolan OliverI shook my head, arrogantly raising a finger to my lips to signal him to be quiet as I spoke softly."Oh my, don't scream like a lunatic. Calm down. You've already hit me where it hurts, so what's the point of complaining about old matters?"Nolan gritted his teeth, his face twisted with rage as though he was only a step away from lunging at me and tearing me apart. If I hadn't transferred the money yet, he probably wouldn't have been trying so hard to stand there and stay calm.Although I wore a composed smile on the surface, sweat had nearly soaked through the back of my shirt. Inside, I was trembling with fear. I clenched my shaking fists and tried to encourage myself."Come on, you can do this!"What I was doing now was a reckless act that could put my life at risk, but it was also the best way to draw Nolan's attention. At this point, all I could do was silently pray that everything was going smoothly and safely on Lina's side.Nolan looke

    Chapter 164: Bomb!I glanced toward my bodyguard. He gave a slight nod, a signal that Lina's side had begun moving. A trace of unease stirred in my heart. I wondered how things were progressing over there.It would probably take some time for Lina's team to get inside and rescue the hostages. There were quite a lot of them, so moving everyone out would take a considerable amount of time.That meant the only thing I could do right now was stall for time and keep Nolan from paying attention to what was happening inside the warehouse.I raised an eyebrow. Let's see, what kind of conversation would actually interest him?Nolan glanced at me and finally spoke first, his patience clearly wearing thin."Ella, stop dragging this out. You don't want to see my face any more than I want to see yours, so there's no reason for us to stand here making things awkward."I chuckled softly. He was probably itching to get his hands on that huge sum of money already.Rubbing my temple, I put on an annoye

  • Married To Him Again, No More Devotion   Chapter 163: Nolan Oliver Appears

    Chapter 163: Nolan Oliver AppearsThe thugs outside the warehouse saw me shouting into the loudspeaker and immediately pointed their guns at me as they yelled,"Shut up! Put that thing down right now! Who gave you permission to cause trouble here? Do you want a few bullets before you learn to keep your mouth shut?"The bodyguards beside me instantly became tense. They tightened their grip on their weapons and moved to shield me. But I knew these thugs were nothing more than muscle-headed mercenaries hired by Nolan.Without Nolan's orders, no matter how much I provoked them, they would not open fire.After all, this was not some barbaric era. A few shots fired would earn them a lifetime behind bars.I smiled, placed a hand on one of the bodyguards' shoulders, and signaled for him not to be so tense. Then I walked past them and stopped in front of the two mercenaries."I already told you to calm down. Making everything more tense isn't a good choice."The two men looked at each other an

    Chapter 162: The Decoy PlanLooking at the deployment Jonas showed me, the situation was still within our control. But just as he said, if we failed to act precisely in a single attempt and let the enemy realize what we were doing, we would no longer have any chance of rescuing the hostages safely.At that point, I could not even imagine how many casualties there would be or how great the price we would have to pay.Jonas looked toward the old warehouse and gritted his teeth."If only we knew the number of defenders and how their manpower is arranged inside."Lina thought for a moment before asking,"Can we send someone in to scout it out?"Jonas shook his head and replied,"No, it's too dangerous. At first, we planned to send in someone with the right expertise, but after evaluating the situation around the perimeter, it didn't seem like a good idea."The interior of the warehouse was spacious, but there were very few places to hide. It would be extremely difficult to infiltrate safe

    Chapter 161: Arriving in Haittie CityAfter Anessa's investigation, we were finally able to determine the approximate location Nolan was using to hold the children.It was a large warehouse on the outskirts of Haittie City, about five hundred kilometers away.That distance was almost perfect for keeping it far beyond my reach and out of sight.If it hadn't been for Anessa's help and the resources of the Dominic family, I probably would never have found the place in my lifetime.Anessa handed me the exact coordinates and asked,"We'll proceed with the rescue operation, then?"I shook my head and replied,"No. I'll go myself."Anessa looked at me in shock and immediately protested,"You can't. It's obvious that everything is targeting you. If you go there yourself, it'll be far too dangerous. Just let our people handle it."I knew my decision was risky, but sitting around and waiting wasn't a good option either.I had already been powerless when it came to Leo.Because of that, I had de

  • Married To Him Again, No More Devotion   Chapter 160: Traces of Nolan Oliver

    Chapter 160: Traces of Nolan OliverThe butler escorted me out through the side gate. As the car pulled away and the estate gradually disappeared into the distance, the uneasiness in my heart still refused to fade.The Dominic family had existed and prospered for a long time. They had no shortage of rivals in the business world who hated them and wanted to bring them down. Even so, the Dominics had continued to prove that their power was unshakable.I found myself wondering how leaders like Leo and his father, with their cold and composed exteriors, could remain calm in the face of difficulties like these.Thinking about Madam Dominic's request and the look of anguish on her face made my heart sink.A family that should have been warm and happy had fallen into such misery because of the greed of a few damned people.I sighed.Now I didn't even know how to explain things to the twins in a way they would understand."If only I were a little stronger."I had thought that everything I pos

When that happens, the Maxim couple could simply turn around and claim all of this was Sumire’s own dream

You and I can’t do anything.”Lina’s words were not
