In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 621 Alexander Must Die

"Your empty words are useless. I won't believe you."

Brodie immediately ripped off a necklace from his neck and handed it to her. "Consider it a token."

"... If you don't come to rescue us, I'll find a way to kill you!"

Growing up in the Quine family, Danielle had seen many deals and favors, so she made up her mind.

She helped Brodie to get out while she and Alexander stayed with the gang.

Those people were ruthless.

Luckily, they didn't suspect Danielle and Alexander but just treated them as slaves.

Danielle had nothing. That, coupled with her disfigurement, left her with no way to fight back.

Moreover, when Alexander woke up, he lost his memory.

This was a devastating blow to Danielle. They had no choice but to continue staying with the gang.

One year had passed, but Brodie's rescue still hadn't arrived. Suddenly, one day, Alexander regained his memory.

With his strong intelligence, he left the gang with Danielle.

"A while ago, I had no way out, so I thought of Brodie. I managed to send the necklace to him. When he knew I was still alive, he was terrified.

"He was afraid that I would destroy his base, so he had no choice but to agree to come back to Pamore to help me kidnap Grace."

Only after hearing all this did Benjamin finally know that there was such a thrilling incident back then.

"No wonder we couldn't find you two back then."

"After we got out, we returned to Pamore." Danielle raised her eyebrows.

"When?" Benjamin was very surprised.

"After leaving the gang, our first stop was Pamore. We saw that you and Grace were already married and living a happy life, and the Quine family was thriving.

"It seems like there's hardly any difference without me."

Jessica took a deep breath. She still remembered Alexander's expression at that time. It was melancholy and sad.

"You could have told Grace that you were the one she loved. Benjamin is just a fake." Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Alexander listened, wearing his mask and hat properly. "What's done is done. As long as she's happy."

Before they went their separate ways, Alexander asked, "Why didn't you go back to the Quine family?"

"With my face now, they wouldn't believe I'm Danielle."

The car accident disfigured Danielle, and even after reconstructive surgery, her face hadn't fully recovered.

"I want to take on a new name and start anew."

After finishing her story, Jessica suddenly leaned in, getting closer to Benjamin.

"You took Alexander's wife. Now that you've divorced Grace and he's back, he won't spare you. Especially if he knows that you were involved in her kidnapping case."

A chill ran down Benjamin's spine. In the past, he was afraid that Grace would know about this secret.

Now, he was more afraid of Alexander's revenge.

He grabbed Jessica's wrist. "So, you and I need to join forces. Alexander can't stay. You have to help me."

Jessica shook him off. "Now you're asking for my help?"

"I'm in the open, and you're undercover. Who's more anxious?"

Benjamin gazed at her sharply. "After we get rid of Alexander, I'll naturally help you leave Pamore."

Jessica looked numb.

"You better not deceive me. Otherwise, I'll make sure you go to hell with me."

Without a word, Benjamin inserted his hand into his pocket and pushed open the door, leaving.

Larry was waiting in the car by the roadside. Seeing Benjamin looking distraught, he was surprised. "It didn't go well?"

Benjamin felt weak all over. Leaning with one hand on the car roof, he took deep breaths.

After a long time, he said, "Jessica is right. I owe him."

Larry was shocked but didn't understand what had happened.
