Chapter 480
Serena giggled and said, "Like him? Not exactly. But men are always better when theyโre youngโmore energy, better in bed, and they actually know how to please a woman."
She continued with a sneer, "Besides, Harveyโs not just young; heโs the head of the family. He can give me everything I want. But you? Youโre useless in bed and canโt afford to buy me anything. What do I need you for?"
Brad was humiliated beyond words. He glared at her with a searing hatred in his eyes and spat, "Youโll regret this, you shameless woman! Both you and Harvey deserve to be struck by lightning!"
With his face twisted in rage, Brad stormed out of the Weller residence, his heart filled with bitterness.
Serena scoffed as she watched him leave. "Old fool! He canโt even last for a few extra seconds, and he still thinks I need him. How pathetic!"
Meanwhile, four grueling hours had passed, and the two major underground forces of Jayrodale were still combing the city for Lucy.
At Rhodes Corporation, Marcus was in torment. Every passing minute felt like an eternity, and the longer it went on, the greater the danger to Lucy.
Lauren was visibly worried and glanced at Andrew, seeking reassurance.
Andrew stood with his arms crossed, looking down at the bustling streets through the windows. He said calmly, "No need to rush. I trust Natasha and Dylanโs abilities."
He added, "Besides, Harvey hasnโt gotten what he wants yet. He wonโt hurt Lucy until he does."
Marcus sighed in pain. "I understand that, but Lucy is all I have. Her mom passed away when she was little, and Iโve raised her on my own ever since."
His voice cracked as he went on. "I canโt sit still, knowing sheโs out there, terrified. Lucyโs always been shy and timid. I canโt even imagine the fear sheโs feeling in the hands of those criminals!"
Andrewโs eyes narrowed, his expression turning cold. "Lucy isnโt just your daughter. She was also my patient once."
He declared firmly, "If we donโt have results by nightfall, Iโll personally go to the Weller residence and force Harvey to hand her over. And if that scumbag dares to go back on his word, Iโll kill him myself!"
Both Marcus and Lauren were stunned. They never expected the usually composed Andrew to erupt with such a commanding presence.
Chapter โ 150
Just then, Andrewโs phone buzzed. It was Natasha.
She teased, "Hey, darling. We found the girl you were looking for."
Andrew let out a relieved breath. "Howโs Lucy? Sheโs okay, right?"
Natasha chuckled. "Of course, sheโs fine! I handled it personally. Sheโs safe at my place in West End, being well-fed and taken care of."
Andrew nodded. "Thank you. Now, send the people who kidnapped her over to the Jayrodale Police Department."
Natasha sounded surprised. "The police? Why would we hand them over? These guys are wanted fugitives with major crimes on their records. If we send them to the cops, that fat pig Donald will get all the credit. Isnโt that letting him off too easy?"
Andrew smirked. "Thatโs exactly why. I want to do Donald a favor. Iโll need him for something later."
Natasha giggled. "Fine, fine. Youโre the mastermind here. Iโll do as you say."
After ending the call, Andrew turned to Marcus and Lauren. "Letโs go. Weโre heading to the police station."
Marcusโs eyes filled with hope. "Mr. Lloyd, is Lucy really okay?"
Andrew smiled reassuringly. "Donโt worry. Sheโs fine. Iโve arranged for the people who kidnapped her to be delivered to the police station. Youโll see her there."
Tears welled up in Marcusโs eyes as he jumped out of bed. Overcome with gratitude, he dropped to his knees in front of Andrew. "Mr. Lloyd, youโve saved Lucy again. This is the only way I can express my thanks to you."
