Starting with A Divorce

Chapter 666 Finally Left

When Natalia arrived, she saw Lainey stubbornly pointing a fruit knife at her neck and yelling wildly at the bodyguards, “Get out of my way! Or I’ll kill myself.”

The captain of the bodyguards tried to calm his companions down while comforting, “Ms. Salter, don’t hurt yourself. Mr. Salter will be sad if he finds out.”

Naturally, Lainey did not want to hurt her father. She shook her head while crying. Her tone softened slightly as she said, “Please, I just want to go out and meet Roman. T will come back after I meet him. I will never run around.”

One of the bodyguards didn’t want to lose his job, so he could only move forward slowly.

Unknowingly, he had gotten closer to Lainey.

He figured that as long as he moved faster, even if he couldn’t guarantee that Lainey would not get hurt, her life wouldn’t be in danger. At most, she would suffer some minor injuries.

Thinking of this, the bodyguard’s hands hanging at his side clenched into fists calmly, his muscles bulging slightly, and he was ready to attack.

Natalia saw that the situation was not good, though she knew it would expose herself, she rushed out from behind and shouted, “Ms. Salter, no!”

Lainey had been watching the bodyguards warily. Frightened, she reflexively clenched her knife and hurriedly took a few steps back.

The bodyguard, who lost the opportunity he had been waiting for, ground his teeth and glared at Natalia, who was standing by. A murderous look flashed across his eyes, and he wanted to beat her up.

When Natalia met his gaze, her legs immediately went limp. She could only stand there reluctantly because she still remembered how Lainey had treated her.

She bit the tip of her tongue and forced herself to make a trembling voice, “S-Sir, it Ms. Salter is injured, won’t Mr. Salter be angry? What do you think your ending will be?”

The bodyguard froze. His mind raced, and he quickly figured out what these words meant.

That was true. He only thought about the consequences of letting Lainey go, but he forgot that she was Mr. Salter’s biological daughter.

Even if they didn’t get along with each other now, he had cherished her since she was young.

If she really got injured because of him, even if Lainey didn’t complain, Mr. Salter wouldn’t keep him here anymore. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

The captain of the bodyguards sighed when he realized they would be tired no matter what. He drew back and closed his eyes. His cold tone mixed with disappointment, “You can go now.”

Thinking that she had misheard him, Lainey stood still and stared at him blankly without moving.

Worried that the bodyguard would go back on his word, Natalia quickly reminded, “Ms. Salter, aren’t you going to look tor someone? Hurry up and go.”

As if she had just woken up from a dream, lainey looked back at her gratefully, but she still didn’t let down her guard.

Still holding a fruit knife pressed against her neck, she carefully walked around the bodyguards to the gate.

The bodyguard captain pressed the open button at the right time.

Seeing the screen of the door turn green, Lainey could no longer hold back her excitement. She threw the knife away casually, opened the door, and rushed out.

Natalia was very efficient. Regardless of whether it would work out or not, she had already called the taxi driver to wait at the door all day.

Hence, she got into the car and left st raight away. Even if the bodyguards went back on their word, they would not be able to catch up with her at this time.

The bodyguard captain was not a fool, and he had figured everything out by this time.

With a cold face, he walked up to Natalia and said angrily, “Even if I don’t say anything about you helping Ms. Salter escape, Mr. Salter can still find out.”

Natalia glanced at him calmly. She did not intend to tell him that Lainey had already arranged everything for her.

Although Lainey did not have cash with her, she had countless luxury items, gold, and jewelry. Any one of them would be worth a lot of money.

Not only did she now have the money to treat her father’s illness, but after paying all the bills, she even had plenty left over. She transferred it all to her mother’s account.

Even if they were simply idle all day, it would last an average family like theirs at least four or five years.

Besides, Lainey and her mother were not going to just idle around.

Everything was taken care of al her school.

Due to her excellent grades, the chief agreed to let her take care of the family first and continue her education in the future.

Now that she had nothing else to worry about, so, surely, she was determined to help Lainey.

As for whether Jaydan would blame her when he came back, it was not within her consideration.

Because she planned to resign today and leave the mess to the bodyguard captain.

After Jaydan finished dealing with the company’s affairs, he handed the unimportant ones directly to his assistant, and then hurried home.

His right eyelid had been twitching since just now, and he always felt that something bad had happened.

Thinking of his daughter’s temper and worried that she would make trouble at home, he kept urging the driver to speed up on the road.

When he returned home, the door was wide open, and the bodyguards were scattered standing next to the door. One by one, they looked dejected as if they had experienced a great blow.

Jaydan had a bad premonition. Before the car could stop, he got out of the car.

When the bodyguard captain saw Jaydan’s face, his heart skipped a beat, but he had no choice but to walk over and say, “Mr. Salter, Ms. Salter escaped.”

Jaydan was stunned tor a moment, as if he didn’t understand what he was saying. He stared at him and asked again, “What did you say?”

The bodyguard captain hurriedly explained with words weaved in his heart quickly, “Mr. Salter, Ms. Salter is too reckless. She threatened us with a knife to her neck. If we don’t let her go, she will hurt herself. I have no choice.”

Jaydan couldn’t care less about his anger and hurriedly asked, “Is Lainey hurt?”

When the bodyguard captain saw that his first reaction was concerned about Lainey’s safety, he couldn’t help but sigh in relief. He no longer had the mood to complain about the housekeeper who had come out to cause trouble earlier.

She was right. If he acted aggressively and caused Ms. Salter to get hurt, Mr. Salter would definitely not let it go.

The bodyguard shook his head firmly. “Don’t worry. Ms. Salter is safe and sound. However, she had already arranged for a car to pick her up at the door. When we chased after her, she was already gone.”

Jaydan was relieved when he heard that Lainey was not hurt.

He sighed leisurely and didn’t intend to blame the bodyguard. Instead, he patted his shoulder and said, “I know very well of my own daughter. From the time she was a child, once she had made up her mind, whether about a person or a tiling, there had always been in her a strength that no one could talk her out of. I thought this time was different. Who knows…

Alas!”

The bodyguard captain knew that he had failed his duty and felt a little sorry for not being punished, so he took the initiative to say, “Mr. Salter, I’ll take my men out to look for her now.”

Jaydan narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to stop him. Then, he called the butler and asked him to arrange a tew cars.

“Humph! I’m sure Lainey is going to look tor that brat.”
