Keith was glaring at John murderously, as if he could murder John at the next instant.However, John never expected to escape unscathed after he had done what he did.That being said, the Lynds' influence in organized crime was far beyond what he imagined—he just presumed that the family had connections with certain groups, and it was not after he procured that document that he found out the extent of their horrific power!Even the Cranstons—the so-called most powerful family in the nation—would never win against that. The Lynds would crush them sooner or later!That was why he was ready for the worst when he chose to turn around, and his only wish was for Sean to retrieve the document before the Lynds did… otherwise, the Lynds just might dig six feet under like Keith promised and find it before long.He closed his eyes, genuinely giving up on struggling—he had done his best, and the rest was up to fate.Seeing that John remained unmoved, the murder in Keith's glare became even m

As Nana quietly heaved a sigh of relief, the bodyguard asked respectfully, "Should we wake him, Ms. Lynd?"Nana was hesitant, but her father did give her just two hours. If she let John sleep now, Keith would kill him when he woke up."Yeah," she replied.The bodyguard nodded, and turned to gesture at one of his boys, who picked up a bucket of water and splashed it down his head.John was jolted awake the instant he was splashed, the anguish causing him to grunt without control.Nana frowned—John did not hurt that much even when she whipped him.And for an instant, she thought he might die from sheer pain."It's concentrated saltwater," the bodyguard explained, probably noticing Nana's confusion.Nana wheeled on him and snapped, "Saltwater? Are you crazy?!"John was covered in wounds, and now splashed with saltwater… she was scared to imagine how much that would hurt!"That's the quickest way to wake him," the bodyguard replied respectfully.Smack! Nana had suddenly slap

Doug was the person Jean trusted most. One might even say that she trusted Doug more than her own family in this manner, which was why she did not question his words.She thought then that it was fortunate that Nana was rational enough that love did not cloud her mind, and she picked her family rather than her man.Otherwise, she would not stand there alive!Jean's eyes narrowed, and she barked, "Keep looking! It wouldn't have disappeared into thin air!""Yes, ma'am."-There was only silence in the black car outside Lynd Manor, and the skies were slowly turning dark.Cordy asked Sean, "Have you any idea how we'd get in to retrieve the document?"Sean shook his head—barging in was clearly impossible.With the Lynds on high alert, both sides would only lose.There was even less chance for them to find some reason to get inside—this was a critical period for the Lynds. Not even a fly would be allowed in, let alone them. In fact, making a move now would only arouse the Lynd

Keith growled with rising indignation then, "He probably wasn't working alone, no—he must be working with the Cranstons. Lucas would never have infiltrated the study if Sean did not lure us out of the manor. And who else could dare set fire to our home, let alone have the balls to do it?!""We fell for their ploy?! We were this close to greatness… but they turned the tables on us?!" Jean cried, her body shaking with rage right then."Mom, it's not the time for regrets. We have to go—the fire is getting worse.""If we do, we'd be letting the Cranstons in to get the document and destroy us!" Jean snapped viciously.Though Keith was speechless, anyone could tell that the fire was to cause confusion while the Cranstons sneaked in to take the document."No, I'll stay," Jean growled resolutely. "I shall see who would have the spine to barge into my house!""But it's really dangerous, Mom. If we can't stop the fire—""Go!" Jean said, making up her mind right there and then. "I've lived

Sacrifice was not enough to earn one's love, and John had already told Nana before that he did not love her at all.He was simply incapable of falling in love with a woman other than Cordy."Just go," he told her. "I don't want to owe you again."All Nana found was irony. "You'd rather die than owe me, so that I can't sully your relationship with Cordy?! You're really obsessed, John!""I am," John replied bluntly.Most importantly, Nana was never going to get him out given this situation, nor did he want Nana to die with him.Nana's eyes were red even as tears streamed down her cheeks. "Don't you regret anything at all, John?""I don't." "Fine." Nana turned to leave right then—if he did not care, she had no reason to humiliate herself.She could let him die as he wished!However, even as she broke into a frantic dash out of the basement, she found the manor already engulfed in flames, and there was no exit in sight.Worst of all, the rest of her family was gone…-The s
