Semua Bab The Day I Kissed An Older Man: Bab 2251 - Bab 2260

Roland could have dealt with her easily, but Penny went berserk all of a sudden. Being short and dressed rather drably, she hid among the buildings and was fast making him lose his patience."Penny? Your name is Penny, isn't it? If I were you, I'd be a good girl and come out. I might let you live if I'm in a good mood. If you continue to hide, things will get super nasty if I find you. I'd advise you to cooperate because I've never been known for my patience."Penny concealed herself beside a dark trash can. Her entire body trembled, and she sensed Roland drawing closer. She bit her lower lip to stop herself from shivering so much.That man was willing to commit numerous heart-wrenching deeds for Tracy and was about to add silencing her to the list. Nevertheless, she was not going to allow them to succeed that easily!'Please hurry, Monica. I might not survive this if you're too late...' Penny thought to herself.…Lucas felt that everything was proceeding too smoothly, almost as

Shaun then explained, "If that person is holding Penny hostage, then he or she isn't going to care that we're here. Penny might just die if the person loses their mind in a fit of anger. We need to find her—and fast!"Monica nodded, assuring them that she would not be giving such ludicrous ideas anymore. She remembered the howling wings, the shifting rocks, and more importantly, something that sounded like trash cans."I remember a place with garbage sorting boxes enclosed by iron sheets. That must be what I heard! I don't know how I bumped into it, but I remember a very distinctive box-like sound."Monica might have missed that detail under normal circumstances because it was just a small sound. Given the nature of the emergency, she remembered it vividly and could even tell that it sounded like that of a trash can."There's only one place around here that has a trash can like that. If I'm not mistaken, it's on our left." The producer pointed in that direction with a stern express

Lucas frowned and adopted a negotiating stance."I believe I can accommodate your wishes. Our society is ruled by law, after all. Do you think you stand a chance of escaping if you kill her?"I should also remind you that I, and this woman here, are two witnesses. You'll be spending the rest of your life in a dark prison cell if you go ahead with what you plan to do. I suggest you consider whether you'd prefer to make a deal with me or spend a lifetime behind bars."Roland's nostrils flared as he was provoked by Lucas' condescending demeanor."I know you're a big shot, Mister Lucas, but you're the one who wants to save her. Her life is in my hands, so I'll be the one calling the shots! Listen to what I say, and spare me the irritation of your pretentious expression. I'm not an idiot."Monica's heart raced. She could see Penny's kicks weakening under Roland's grip. "Release Penny first, and then we can talk about your demands! We're not here to provoke you. All we want is to discus

"Is that really what you think? Look at me, and then look at yourself. Do you truly believe that if you were in my shoes, you could achieve the same level of success as me?" asked Lucas bluntly.The reason he had achieved his success was because he had put in efforts far beyond the average person.When he started his own business, he did not even use the Rivera name. People did not even know his real surname, so how could he have leveraged his family's influence?After successfully establishing his own company, he returned to his family to inherit the family business, and he further increased the company's stock value with his own company.Not every heir or heiress could achieve what Lucas accomplished. He dared to speak that way because he had the confidence to back it up. Through his own hard work, he had garnered so much influence in the business world that a word from him could cause ripples across industries.Thus, Lucas looked down on men like Roland, who only knew how to ge

"It's not too late to turn back now. Your mother is still waiting for you to go back home," Shaun continued to persuade.However, Roland's mind was fixed on the cash Lucas promised him and the escape route he had arranged. He had no intention of turning back."Save it. There's no turning back for me now. Maybe I'll be a better person in the next life."He then charged toward Shaun and the others with the knife held high.Lucas quickly ran toward him, and before Roland could react, he had already forced him to step back repeatedly.In the process, Roland unintentionally loosened his grip on Penny's hand."You—"Monica quickly ran over to catch Penny, while Shaun and the producer wasted no time rushing over to help Lucas.Roland thought that Lucas was all bite and no bark, but before he could throw a punch, Lucas had already attacked his side. After a few punches, Roland was forced to retreat repeatedly, leaving him with no room for counterattacks."Ugh—"Infuriated and ashamed
