Chapter 1709

Ean pressed his lips into a thin line and did not say anything back in return.

"Ean, there's no turning back since we started seeing each other behind his back.Both of us know what
he is capable of.Anyone can become his tool.If we continue to work for him, it'll only be a matter of time
before he discards both of us."

She put her finger on his lips and continued.

"Besides, can you tolerate it if he's going to offer the woman you love the most to that brutal man?"

Ean took a deep breath to calm himself down.

After a short while, he released her and turned around to walk to the door.He stopped in front of the
door and said without turning his head.

"I'll try my best to stop it."

Maggie watched as he left the room.Ean came to the parking lot.He had been very alert and instantly
sensed something.He spun around, but he was still a step slower.

Holding him at gunpoint, Edison said, "My master wishes to see you."

Ean looked toward the car that was parked not far away, and his face sank.

After Ean got into the car, curtains fell and blocked all the windows.

At the same time, Edison turned off the headlights.

Nollace was sitting with his legs crossed.



"Does Mr.Pruitt know that you’re here to meet your lover, Mr.Templar?"

Ean gnashed his teeth and said, "That’s not true."

"Maggie has already joined my side."

Ean was stunned, and understanding soon dawned upon him.It was only now he realized why Ken’s
assassination plan had failed.It turned out that Maggie was the one who had exposed their plan, and
he was the one who had told those plans to her.

"I want to make a deal with you, Mr.Templar."

Nollace turned his head to look at him and smiled.

"What makes you think that I’ll betray Mr.Pruitt?"

Ean looked at him back.

Even though the rumored Nollace was ten years younger than him and an inexperienced young man,
he was much more mature than his peers.He was shrouded in an air of mystery and had a pair of eyes
that seemed to be able to see through everything.

These were the things that he shouldn’t have at his age.

Ean remembered a saying.

Those who had seen hell wouldn't believe in heaven anymore.It occurred to him that the young man
before him was as complicated as he was.

Nollace then said calmly, "Maggie."

"Are you threatening her?"



"I showed her a path where she could live the life she wanted, so she decided to join my side," Nollace
said calmly as he retracted his gaze.

"You don’t wish to see her die in the hands of Ken, right?" Ean fell silent.

Nollace continued calmly.

"After everything is settled, you can bring her away.You two can live the life you want.You don’t have to
work for other people anymore."

Ean began to waver when he heard that he could have both freedom and the woman he loved.

Two days later...

Brandon came to look for Freyja at the hospital.

Apparently, he came here because of Sandy.

"I know your mother doesn’t treat you well, but she’s still your mother.How can you bear to see her
become the laughingstock of the city?"

Sandy had appeared on the news headlines because she abused and confined her daughter.

Several days later, a group of reporters came to their house and wanted to interview her.

Everyone was criticizing Sandy.

They were throwing all sorts of bad comments at Sandy on the Internet, and the good reputation that
Ken had built up through Lara had been affected by the incident as well.

Brandon walked up to Freyja when she did not say anything.



He grabbed her shoulder and said, "Fey, you need to understand your mother."

When Freyja heard what her father said, her heart shattered.She slowly lifted her head and looked at
her father expressionlessly.

"Instead of apologizing to me, you expect me to be understanding?"

Brandon was stunned and lowered his head.

Freyja pushed her father away and shouted, "If I try to understand her, then who’s going to understand
me? You guys wanted me to suspend my studies to raise the child that Ken abandoned despite my
reputation.Is Ken all you two care about? What about me? Am I not your child?"

"Fey— "

"Shut up!"

She interrupted him before he could finish his sentence.

She calmed herself down and said, "Dad, since you don't consider me as your daughter, then from
today onward, I'm cutting ties with you.It's none of my business whether she's dead or alive."
