Chapter 102 Hannah's Trouble
Just then, Evander sent a message, “I will see you off tonight. I booked a flight tomorrow morning to go back.”
After returning to the hotel, Sarah huffed at Ethan and went straight to her room. Ethan rubbed his nose speechlessly, thinking of how quick this woman changed her attitude. Just last night, she relied on him so much and was reluctant to part, but today, she treated him like her mortal enemy!
At the same time, news of the commotion Ethan caused in Seattle, QU Group’s downfall, and the Crossing Gang’s sudden disappearance also reached Novaria. The Wilson family's intelligence network had received relevant information after the Palace Club incident. Afterward, they’ve been closely monitoring the developments there ever since.
“That damn bastard. Even after leaving the Wilsons, he managed to thrive! Now, he’s even getting involved with the Harris family!” Brady received the news and was furious, smashing his teacup.
Mike, who had returned to the Wilson family, asked in astonishment, “Hasn't the Harris family always stayed out of the other families’ disputes? How did they end up getting entangled with Ethan this time?”
Brady grumbled with an unpleasant expression, “The intelligence says that it was a girl from the Millers who played matchmaker, linking Ethan with the Harris family's Novaria branch, specifically with Clarence! Moreover, he’s even Clarence’s benefactor. That bastard really surprises me!”
Mike was furious when he heard this.
Mike quickly thought of many questions and asked, “So, Ethan already established a relationship with the Harris family. If we go against him again, wouldn't the Harris family become an obstacle? Can Miss Beverly handle Ethan on her own in Novaria?”
Brady said with narrowed eyes, “Let that bastard roam around for a few days, since Beverly alone wouldn’t be enough. Since you're injured, I've already sent someone else to help her. I'll contact the Harris family and check the situation before deciding how to deal with this bastard!”
Meanwhile, Beverly was also keeping an eye on all news regarding Ethan. When the information from Seattle reached her, she couldn't help but be astonished. She was amazed by Ethan's strength and tactics after leaving the Wilson family. She knew everything that went down in Seattle, along with the support Harris family provided.
In other words, his abilities weren’t as simple as they seem on the surface.
This made her think back to the night when Ethan severely injured Mike. As her cousin, she felt complex emotions toward someone she was already very familiar with.
At that moment, Ethan didn’t know that the things he did in Seattle made the Wilsons uneasy. He had only received intel from Alexander.
Alice had left six people behind for him, each one an elite in their respective fields.
As for Alexander, he was a world-class hacker and expert in online tracking.
Along with the other five men…
It’d only take them a minute to gather information about Hannah. It turned out that her family was in Seattle. Her father recently passed away, and her mother is currently helping her take care of her daughter, Camila, at their old home in Seattle.
The reason she hurriedly returned this time was to bring Camila back to Novaria and personally take care of her. Her ex-husband, Richard, came to despise her and Ethan after he was taught a lesson, which left one of Richard's hands almost useless. He didn't dare to directly confront Ethan or Hannah, so he resorted to threatening Hannah with Camila, using his custody over the child as leverage.
At the same time, Alexander also discovered that Richard had already arrived in Seattle and bribed some local thugs, preparing to take Camila from Hannah's family at home.
After checking the intel, Ethan wasted no time and directly left the hotel. Now that he knew Hannah was in trouble, he couldn't simply ignore it. He hurriedly took a taxi, asking the driver to wait at the door while he went straight into the countryside home.
On the other hand, Hannah's mother, Helen, also received a phone call from Hannah and had already prepared Camila's luggage. “Why are you suddenly bringing Camila back to Novaria? is that bastard Richard bothering you again?” Seeing Hannah return, Helen anxiously asked.
“Mom, I don't have time to explain now, but I don’t have a choice. I'll take Camila back first; you should pack up and move to Novaria to live with us!” Hannah clearly didn't want to dwell on Richard's matters, not wanting her mother to worry too much.
“Mommy, I don't want that bad daddy. Did he bully you again?” Just then, a little girl wearing a princess dress ran out from the room. She threw herself into Hannah's embrace.
“Camila, my dear, we both don’t want that bad daddy. Don't worry; I won't let him take you away again!” Hannah picked Camila up and said to Helen, “I'll take Camila back to Novaria for now!”
“Be safe on the road!” Helen could only advice helplessly. Afterward, the mother and daughter walked out of the house and got into a taxi right away. However, before the car even started, two vans suddenly appeared and blocked the taxi's front and back paths!
“What's going on?” Hannah's face suddenly changed. The two van doors swung open, a group of menacing hooligans with sticks jumping out. In Hannah's view, a she also saw someone overly familiar.
It was a man with a hand wrapped in bandages; who else could it be but Richard? Without saying a word, a few thugs opened the taxi door and pulled Hannah and Camila out of the car.
Seeing this, Helen rushed over but was immediately knocked down by the two thugs. Camila also began to cry non-stop.
“Richard, you bastard! Can you even call yourself a man?” Hannah stared angrily at Richard, scolding him.
“Luckily, I arrived in time. Otherwise, you would’ve taken the child away. I already told you yesterday; unless you give me 1 million dollars, I’ll definitely take her away. It wouldn’t matter, even if you call the police!” Richard disdainfully threw away the cigarette in his mouth.
“Mommy, I'm scared! I don't want to go with him... Please don't let him take me away...” Pale with fear, Camila immediately clung to Hannah's leg and begged.
Richard threatened again while coldly smirking, “See that? If you don't want Camila to suffer, give me the money! Or else…”
Facing her mother and crying daughter, Hannah's last bit of stubbornness instantly shattered.
“Alright! You want money, right? I'll transfer 1 million dollars to you immediately, so you and your men better leave me alone!” she compromised. She couldn't bear to see her loved ones getting hurt because of this scum.
“Got it! If only you cooperated like this earlier, things wouldn't have escalated to this point! I’ll leave the moment I see the money. By the way, the 1 million is for our daughter, but you also need to pay my medical expenses, no?” Richard took advantage of the situation, thinking that Hannah could give him even more money.
