“Of course not. I really love you. ” Hannah smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. “How about this? The day after tomorrow is my dad’s birthday. Why don’t you join the party? By the way, you have two children, right? Since I’ll become their stepmother sooner or later, you can bring them along as well so I can get to know them.”
“It’s not a good idea for me to bring two children to your father’s birthday party, ” Shaun said expressionlessly. “Besides, there’s no need for you to get to know them. I don’t want them anyway.
After we get married, we’ll have another child.” “That won’t do. I can’t let people talk about me. Don’t worry, I’ll be a good stepmother. ” Hannah kissed him on the cheek flirtatiously.
Shaun stared at her. “What do you want to do, Hannah? Just spit it out.”
“Shaun, I want to formally introduce you to my parents on that day, but you’re skilled and my dad is helping Wesley. I’m afraid that you’ll make a move on my dad on the day of the birthday party. Don’t worry, as long as you’re obedient, my family will definitely not hurt you or the children,”
Hannah said with a smile.
Shaun lowered his head and smiled. “What if I refuse?”
“Then I can’t let you come to my dad’s birthday party. Sorry. ” Hannah enticed him, saying, ” But Shaun, you’re a smart man. You should know that my father will become prime minister sooner or later. Marrying me will be of great benefit to you. To be honest, I don’t like Wesley. I think you’re much better than him.”
Shaun chuckled and pinched her chin. “Since you’ve said so, what else can I say?”
At 10:00 p.m., after Shaun returned to Lyons Manor, Hadley immediately came over. “Young Master Lyons, I’ve checked that karaoke bar. It was invested in by a real estate big shot in Melbourne. I found out that the boss was just an ordinary project manager on a construction site three years ago, but after a brief meeting with Wesley, he suddenly took over two major projects and his net worth rose sharply.”
“In other words, Wesley had begun to take action as early as three years ago.” Shaun tapped the desk. “No wonder the police and Liona couldn’t find anything despite searching for so long. There were no clues at all because Wesley had hidden his people there long ago.”
“Yes. Who would’ve thought that Wesley stationed his men in a karaoke bar where people come and go? I’m guessing that there must be secret passages in it. That building was also developed by the real estate big shot, so it’ll be easy to hide things in there.
Hadley was a bit anxious now. “We only have two days to save him. The entire capital is jittery now.”
“Do it in the early hours of the day after tomorrow. Remember, take down all the people in the karaoke bar without letting them alert the others. I don’t want Wesley to hear any news about what happened.”
Shaun stretched his body and slowly approached the leather seat, his eyes appearing deep and gloomy. “After all, my goal isn’t just to take down Wesley but the entire Mead family. The Mead family’s doom was destined the moment they went against Prime Minister Snow.
Hadley was struck by a realization.
Even if Wesley was gone, Gavin would have lost an arm at most. The Snow family needed to have enough evidence to remove the Mead family. Once the Mead family made their move during the birthday party the day after tomorrow, Prime Minister Snow could take the opportunity to eradicate the people who were on the same boat as the Mead family.
At that time, there would be a great cleansing in the capital.
La’Jour Karaoke Bar was the most luxurious karaoke bar in Melbourne.
At 3:00 a.m., there were still many youngsters singing.
The attendant on duty looked inside through the glass door and yawned before walking to the security guard at the entrance. “What time is it? Those brats are still singing.”
The burly security guard threw away a cigarette and said meaningfully, “Keep your guard up.”
“I know, I know.” The attendant chuckled.
“Hey, handsome… Can you help us get a few more drinks?” A beautiful woman with a slim figure came up to them, seemingly slightly drunk.
The attendant’s eyes brightened as he walked over to her, touching her waist with a chuckle. “Sure, you can have as much as you want.”
“Thanks.” The beautiful woman looked at him and giggled before suddenly pulling out an object from her pocket, tasing him.
The security guard’s expression changed, but before he could do anything, his vision went blurry and he felt a pain in the back of his head. He soon lost consciousness.
Before long, a group of youngsters dressed like punks walked over.
“Master Charlton, all the people inside have been taken care of,” a man with permed hair said with a grim tone. “We were fast enough, so we managed to knock them out before they could contact anyone.”
“Well done.”
Elle gave him an appreciative look. Who knew that an attendant in a karaoke bar would be so skilled? Fortunately, they were able to make the people inside lower their guard by disguising themselves as a group of punks.
“There’s definitely something wrong with this karaoke bar, but the place is too big. We need to find the secret passages or storage units before dawn. There might be enough time, so capture the manager on duty and interrogate him. No matter what method you use, get him to spill the truth.”
“Understood.”
The Liona members swiftly dragged a manager into a room. Elle stood outside and listened to the miserable muffled sounds coming from inside.
Then, one of her men came out. “Master Charlton, he talked. There’s a secret passage in the warehouse downstairs.”
Elle immediately led the men to the warehouse. It was very messy there and the place was filled with all kinds of alcohol and snacks, as well as abandoned sofas, coffee tables, and the like. There was a thick layer of dust blanketing the place.
One of her subordinates sighed. “Thank God we interrogated him. No one would think it’s in a place like this.”
“Yes.” Elle had to admire Wesley’s caution. The place was too messy and seemed like no one would come here. However, there was actually a hidden passage here.
She found a dial inside the bottom drawer of a cabinet. After turning it, the cabinet moved to the side and revealed a very thick door.
She pushed it open, revealing a dark tunnel inside.
She used her phone’s flashlight and walked in. After about ten meters, a dim light finally appeared inside. She carefully walked in to see a square cage about ten square meters large. Inside the cage, there was a man who gave off a strong odor. Two of the man’s fingers had been chopped off, and there was also a long chain wrapped around his arms.
Those who did not know might think that he was a feral man.
Elle was stunned. Wesley was simply inhumane. Even Liona was not that cruel in the past. A normal person would go crazy if he were tortured like this.
She apprehensively used the light to shine on the man’s head. “Are you… Matthew Costner?”
The chain suddenly moved as the man strained to lift his head. Beneath his rough and messy hair, his blue eyes revealed a deep and refined light after a brief moment of cloudy confusion.
“Who are you?” he spoke weakly, straining to open his eyes and look at the woman in front of him. She was dressed in leather and had heavy makeup on. She had an afro as well.
He had been locked here for a long time, but this was the first time he saw a woman like that.
Elle sighed in relief. Fortunately, he had not gone crazy. It would be troublesome if he had. “My name is Elle Charlton. Eldest Young Master Lyons sent me to save you.”
“Eldest Young Master Lyons…”
Matthew’s deep blue eyes flashed with consternation and bitterness.
He had been living in hell these days. He thought the person who came to save him would be his father or mother, but he never thought it would be Shaun.
He had never liked Shaun much.
“You’re hurt badly. I’ll bring you away. ” Elle took out a steel wire and swiftly unlocked the locks on the cage and his hands.
“Beautiful lady, I didn’t expect that… you’d be a master lock picker too.” Matthew let out a low laugh.
“How can you still laugh?” Elle was a little speechless. An ordinary person would have gone crazy.
“What should I do instead? Cry? Men… aren’t allowed to cry.” Matthew’s dry lips were pulled into a grin with much difficulty. Seeing him about to faint, Elle forcefully shook him.
“You can’t faint now. You have to go back to Canberra with me. Your mother is almost insane. She’s helping Wesley, Jeffery, and Jeffrey’s wife to g o against Miss Cox and Eldest Young Master Lyons. Now, Wesley’s power is as strong as could be. He intends to make a move against Prime Minister Snow with Gavin Mead tonight. Once Prime Minister Snow becomes a puppet, he’ll definitely torture Miss Cox to death. She’s your sister.”
“W- What? ” Matthew could not keep up and was stunned when he heard her words. “My mom… Why did she…”
“Your mother has been brainwashed by Jeffery. You have to stop her. You’re our only hope now.”
Elle hurriedly had the others carry Matthew on a stretcher and put him in a private plane before dawn broke.
In Canberra.
In the presidential suite of a five-star hotel.
The waiter brought up plates of hearty breakfast. Sheryl sat in a chair and looked at the breakfast, but she had no appetite at all.
“Sherry, this is the birthday invitation sent over by Minister Mead. Today is his birthday. Do you want to go over for a while?” Jeffery put the invitation in front of her.
Sheryl glanced at it and said in annoyance, “He’s just a small minister. I’m not going.”
“You don’t know this but Minister Mead is quite powerful in Australia now. We have to go,” Jeffery said with a wry smile, “If the company wants to grow, we’ll need to have a good relationship with these people.”
“Then you go. I never had the intention of managing the company anyway.” Sheryl waved her hand. “Jeffery, go to the company. Don’t stay with me here.”
