Snare of Love

Chapter 591 Kindness Will Make One Beautiful

Before Mrs. Meyer could answer Tiana said angrily, “He’s a bad person.”

Mrs. Meyer hit her daughter lightly, “Hush, don’t say that right now. We need to save Charles first.”

How did Tiana know that John wasn’t a good person? Well, to be honest, her brother wasn’t a good

person, so the person working under him wouldn’t be great either.

Anyone with a tad bit of conscience wouldn’t work with Declan.

Everyone knew that the club erected in the middle of the road belonged to Declan. Just like what Boyce

said, the Bailey family was too powerful and influential. Hence, nobody dared to mess with Declan.

Even if they didn’t like what he was doing, nobody would say anything.

She and her siblings were brought up separately, they didn’t grow up together and weren’t too close

with each other. They would meet up once in a while, but they weren’t as close as normal siblings.

They were just related by blood.

She didn’t know if Declan was in touch with her other sisters, but after this incident, she knew that

Declan didn’t give a damn about emotional attachment among family members. He didn’t care about

her and hence she would do the same.

She grabbed her daughter’s hand and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll stop seeing them after we rescue Charles.”

Tiana nodded.

They got into the car again. John sat in the third row on the right of the car and didn’t dare to make any

unnecessary movement. He knew that they didn’t like him and so he tried to hide his presence as much

as possible.

Mrs. Meyer called Declan, “I found him. Where are we meeting?”

Declan was holding the phone as he smiled while looking at Charles who sat opposite of him, he

smirked, “I’m at the villa on the Second Ring Road. Come here.”

He hung up and sat down on the sofa, he laughed, “Say, you don’t know where John is hiding but your

mother-in-law manages to find him within half a day. Is she just that good, or are you lying?”

Charles maintained emotionless. He assumed that Mrs. Meyer had tricked Tiana into telling her the

truth, otherwise they wouldn’t have found John.

He sincerely wanted to help Dolores and never thought of asking anything back from her. Now that

Mrs. Meyer went to her, he wondered if that would bring her trouble.

He was in a bad situation right now, but he was worried about Dolores instead. He was afraid that he

would bring her trouble and afraid that Mrs. Meyer would figure out the truth.

“Tell me, why did you hide John?” Declan didn’t know that the relationship between Charles, Dolores,

Matthew, and the others.

He only knew that Charles was his sister’s son-in-law and that he had a good reputation in White City.

Nothing more nothing less.

Charles was quite well-known in White City, but he was a nobody in City B! So, Declan didn’t attach

importance to him at all and just captured him without thinking.

“I’m telling you, I didn’t hide him. He got lost on his own, I didn’t do anything.” Charles lied without

blinking. His facial expression maintained the same as if he was telling the truth.

Declan scoffed, “You’re telling me that he got out of the car and ran?”

“Perhaps.”

“Lies, do you think he’s crazy? Why would he run around, knowing that someone was after him?”

Charles stayed calm, he said with the same tone of voice, “Possibly, maybe he went bonkers.”

Declan got mad and he held the glass in his hand tightly, almost shattering it into pieces. He glared at

Charles and said after a long pause, “Don’t try to be clever with me. Your mother-in-law would be here

soon. John would know best about what he did.”

Charles maintained his calm expression, “Even if he said that I was the one who threw him away, he

wouldn’t have any evidence. Come to think of it, even if he said so, it wouldn’t 100% be the truth.”

“Stop trying to be clever!” Declan wasn’t willing to talk to Charles anymore. Charles had a sharp tongue

and was good at reasoning with him.

“I will see this through!” Declan was pissed.

“Go for it, Mr. Bailey. But you really don’t give a damn about your sister, capturing me like this.”

“I told her to help me look for John, that’s me giving her face. Not to mention that she didn’t help out in

the end and even lost John. If Matthew got John, I would never let her off the hook!” Declan was

spoiled growing up. Old Mr. Bailey got Declan only when he was quite old, so he spoiled Declan a lot

when he was young. Old Mr. Bailey gave Declan everything he wanted and hence, he was so arrogant

today. He didn’t know how to appreciate or care about others.

To him, he was giving other people faces by asking them to help him.

Charles laughed, “Do you want to bet?”

“Bet on what?” Declan glanced at him.

Charles said slowly, “Bet on who would win in the end. You or Matthew.”

“Of course it would be me,” said Declan confidently, “He couldn’t do anything last time, and this time as

well. He still couldn’t find John. Who else is backing him? Boyce is only still a deputy director-general

who doesn’t have much power. The other one is a lawyer. He’s useless, the only good thing about him

is his money. But I’m different. My sisters, their husbands are powerful people. My dad is also a very

influential person, have you ever seen that club in the middle of the road? No matter how strict the

authorities are, I still can run my business. Nobody dares to stop my business or launch an

investigation.”

Charles listened to him patiently, he then smiled casually, “My bet is on Matthew.”

Declan was dumbfounded.

“What did you say?” He thought he misheard him.

“What does Matthew have? Why did you bet on him? Do you know who has the most power in City B?”

“Does power matter?” Charles retorted.

Declan laughed and leaned back on the sofa recklessly. He thought Charles was an idiot, “What else

matter if not power? Do you think we will get into a fistfight?”

Charles smiled without saying anything. Declan had the advantage with the powerful people backing

him up, but he wasn’t too intelligent. He was too arrogant and didn’t know how to actually deal with

people.

He only knew how to use people and didn’t care about the people around him.

He tried everything in order to not hand John out because he didn’t want people under him to be bitterly

disappointed with him. He didn’t care about Mrs. Meyer at all, because he thought that she was his

sister. In his mind, she would help him no matter what and he didn’t need to protect her or do anything

in return.

But he was wrong. Humans were simple. If you were not nice to the other person, why would the other

person be nice to you?

Just to be snubbed despite showing good intentions?

Everyone had a heart. If you were sincere to others, then the others would be nice to you too. But this

never crossed Declan’s mind. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

More precisely, he neglected to care about his family members. He knew how to win over his

subordinates but didn’t do the same to his family. He was too used to thinking that his family would help

him without asking for anything in return, that he didn’t need to protect them. And this mentality was

most probably formed due to the environment he grew up in.

He was too spoiled.

Mrs. Meyer knew that Declan had a villa on the Second Ring Road. Last time, she went there to

celebrate Old Mr. Bailey’s birthday. After the banquet at his old residence, she and her siblings went to

that villa to eat dinner with Old Mr. Bailey.

She told the driver the address and the driver drove in that direction.

On the way, Tiana didn’t say anything. Mrs. Meyer didn’t know what she was thinking, she thought that

Tiana was worried about Charles and hence she tried to comfort her, “Don’t worry, Charles would come

home safely as long as we give John back to Declan.”

Tiana didn’t say anything back, she was thinking about what Dolores said. This man hurt someone else

and should be punished, but they were going to let him go instead. Tiana thought it was unfair.

“Mom, dad always says that kindness will make one beautiful, and the person will be loved. So why are

there still bad people? Don’t their parents tell them that it’s important to be kind?”
