Invincible Heir novel Chapter 222

Todd turned paler than before, and to everyone’s surprise, he threw himself on his knees before Baron. “I was just kidding, Mr. Owen. I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”

Baron said nothing. He glanced from Todd to Hardon. With one look in Baron’s sharp eyes, Hardon’s heart skipped a beat. Next moment Hardon dropped to his knees. Trembling from head to foot, he begged, “Please forgive me, Mr. Owen! I was wrong. Just, please, don’t kill me. I never will again. I promise!”

In Hardon’s view, Jacob was a mad murderer and the worst nightmare of the first-class families in Kato.

“Are you scared now, Hardon?” Baron asked.

Hardon was on the verge of tears. His face wore a very ugly look. He really was unlucky. He just narrowly escaped death from Todd, but he was hanging on by a thread again.

Hardon hadn’t worked out Baron’s background, but he knew Baron was more than just a son-in-law of the Perry family.

Tracy was also stunned. She did not understand why Todd and Hardon were so scared when Jacob showed up.

This was her first time to meet Jacob, but in reality, Jacob had protected her for a long time. she just didn’t know it.

Marry was terrified out of her wits. In her eyes, the Brook family and the Maguire family were in the first rank. She had thought she could do anything she wanted as long as she had Hardon behind her. But now, both of them were kneeling in front of Baron and begging for their lives.

Just then, to save his own life, Hardon tried to blame this on Marry. He pointed to her and said, “She is the one who started the whole thing, Mr. Owen! She set the trap just for a villa! She intended to get you drunk and persuade me to rape you wife.” He told Baron everything.

Tracy finally learned the truth. She was really disappointed with Marry. She turned to Marry, tears pouring from her eyes. “Why did you do that, Marry? It was me who paid for your tuition when you were at university! Have you forgotten it?” Tracy bellowed.

Marry was petrified with fear, and then she crawled to Tracy and begged, “I know what I did was wrong, Tracy! I failed you. I’m really sorry. Please forgive me.”

“Get away from me!” Tracy was so disappointed in her and shoved her aside. “From this day forward, our friendship is over! Do you understand me?” Tracy said coldly.

What Marry did was so vicious that Baron wasn’t going to let her come out of this room alive. But Tracy was really kind. He was willing to spare Marry’s life for Tracy.

As expected, Tracy looked at Baron and pleaded, “Please, Baron, let her go.” She hated Marry, but she didn’t want to hurt her.

Without pausing to think, Baron nodded and stared at Marry. “I’ll let you off this time because of Tracy. But if you insult her again… you’re going to wish you hadn’t.”

Baron looked at Marry with the utmost loathing. The look on his face made Marry tremble with fear. She shook her head and said, “It will never happen again. I swear!”

“Get out of here!” Baron roared.

Marry struggled up from the floor and ran out of the room without saying a word.
