Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria)

Chapter 402

“But Mr. Hudson seemed angry, and I was afraid to offend him, so-

While the leader listened to that explanation, he suddenly paled and ordered,

“Sh*t! Go after him, and find someone to check if Miss Selwyn is in her room.”

With that, everyone went to carry out their orders. Some went to get a car

while others went to check.

“Oh, no. Miss Selwyn is not in her room!”

“Geez, Mr. Hudson. Send more cars to chase after him and tell Mr. Morison

about this.”

Instantly, the entire residential area fell into chaos.

After escaping, Ethan drove the car at top speed. Meanwhile, Victoria and the

children had sat up. Considering they might face dangerous situations later,

they all fastened their seatbelts.

He dared not slow down and looked at the rearview mirror, checking the

situation while speaking to her, “They’ll be alerted soon. Worst–case scenario

-they’re catching up right now. If they do, I’ll send you somewhere you can

hide. The car will be an obvious target.”

Nodding, Victoria affirmed, “Okay.”

“After that, I might not be able to see you soon, so you have to think of

something after getting out.” Once he finished speaking, he gave her a serious

look through the rearview mirror. “Miss Selwyn, we’re not home, so are you

sure about this? You’re alone with two children, so staying outside the villa

might be highly dangerous. We can still return if you regret this.”

“No, I’m not going back. I don’t regret my decision.” She bit her lip. “It’s not

like I haven’t lived abroad with my children before, so don’t worry. You can just

find somewhere to drop us off.”

When he heard her determined tone and reluctance to stay, he nodded and

said, “Okay. I understand.”

Intending to hide from traffic cameras, Ethan took several twists and turns.

After who knew how long, he had lost track of where he was and finally found

a secluded place to drop Victoria and the children off.

Once the car stopped, he looked into the distance. “There’s a farm in front. You

can hide there.”

Then, the trio got out of the car, but before they left. Ethan remembered

something and took out all the cash from his wallet before giving it to her. “I

don’t have much cash on me during this trip. This is all I have, and I can’t give

you my phone because they might track it.”

Looking at the wad of cash, Victoria refused to take it. “Mr. Hudson…” Her voice.

choked up. “I’m sorry that this is gonna cause you trouble.”

When he heard that, he showed her a bright smile. “Miss Selwyn, I’ve watched.

Nicole and Nathan grow up these five years. They’re adorable, and you’re a

great person. I…” He could not continue the rest but stuffed the cash into her

hand. “You should hurry up and leave. The longer you stay in one place, the

larger the risk of exposing your location.”

Once he finished, he returned to the car, looking like he did not intend to say

anything more.

Victoria bit her lip. She had already left with him, so saying anything else now

would only make her hypocritical. Therefore, she gave him a deep look and

thanked him before quickly leaving with her children.

Ethan sat in his original spot, watching as the three figures left. He waited

until they hid inside the farm before leaving.

Since no one was in the car with him, he drove slowly. That was all he could do

for her, and as for what awaited him later, he had no idea. Guilt was inevitable,

for some things could not be undone.

An hour later, the others caught up with Ethan’s car. When he and his car were NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

brought before Bane, he wore a devastated expression, seeming to have long

foreseen his outcome and had no intention of begging for mercy.

“Where is she?” Bane’s tone still sounded light, but Ethan knew this was the

calm before the storm.

He smiled before meeting Bane’s eyes. “I don’t know where they went. We split

up halfway.”

When Bane heard that, he felt his temples pulsing. “Why?”

With pursed lips, Ethan answered, “No reason. I wanted to do it, so I did.”

“Is it because I punished you?” Bane straightened his glasses. “Is this your way

of getting back at me?”

“No.” Ethan shook his head. “To be more precise, you gave me this job, so even

if you punish me, I will never get back at you.” Once he got to that, he tried to

persuade Bane. “Mr. Morison, you should stop now before things get worse.”

Bane looked at him, and the gentleness on his face disappeared. “I should stop

now?”

“Mr. Morison, do you know why Miss Selwyn held back from calling the cops

when she could?”

Bane pursed his lips but did not answer.

“If she had called the cops back then, what would things be like now? Mr.

Morison, she still has a glimmer of hope for you and doesn’t want to hurt you.

Please, stop whatever this is, and you can still be friends with her.”

“Friends?” That word made Bane laugh. His laughter sounded scornful at first,

but then it became louder like he was laughing about something funny.

Ethan stood on the side, quietly looking at him with sorrowful eyes.

When Bane stopped laughing, his expression changed as he stared at Ethan

grimly. “I will never become friends with her, nor do I need any.”

“Mr. Morison, forced love has no outcome.”

“Oh?” Bane smiled faintly. “It’s up to me whether there’s an outcome. Bring

him away.”

When the others behind Ethan heard that order, they seemed somewhat

hesitant. “Mr. Morison, what will happen to Mr. Hudson?”

“What will happen to him?” Bane dragged his voice. “I haven’t decided that

yet. Just lock him up for the time being.”

Once Ethan was dragged away, someone could not help but ask, “Mr. Morison,

Mr. Hudson has made a huge mistake. Are you just going to lock him up?”

At that, Bane looked at the man and asked, “Then, what do you suppose I do

about him?”

That man’s eyes had a hint of cruelty in them. “He’s your assistant, yet he uses

your money and resources to backstab you. If it were me… He deserves a

brutal punishment. Also, a person like him has become redundant.”

Bane glanced at the man and smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

“Mr. Morison? What do you think?”
