Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1039

Chapter 1039 They Were Paid

A furious roar rang out next to his ear the next second, “D*mn it! This runt! How dare you fight back!” The hooligan covered his eyes in pain after taking Archie’s retaliation. He was enraged.

Hearing his angry roar, the rest immediately grew wary. Despite the hooligans being wary of their little tricks, Archie and Benny still dared to resist them.

The pebbles on the floor shot at the hooligans continuously. They were afraid of being hit in their eyes too, so they instinctively dodged the rocks aimed at them.

With that, there was an opening for the brothers. Archie reacted quickly and got up, stuffing some rocks into Benny’s hand before they slipped out through the opening between the hooligans.

Behind the brothers, the hooligans snapped back to their senses before sprinting after them. Archie ran ahead while also turning back to launch the rocks at the group of hooligans to slow them down.

Archie and Benny used all their might to continue running toward the crowded place ahead of them.

They finally arrived at a crowded plaza. The hooligans dared not chase after them in public, so they could only stand some distance away and watch as Archie and Benny slipped further into the crowd.

“Archie…” Benny could not catch his breath after running for so long. “Who are those people? Why did they do that to us?”

Archie frowned at that question as he recalled what the hooligans had said earlier. They were paid, but he could not think of anyone who would have paid them.

After pondering for a moment, Archie still could not find the answer. He shook his head at Benny and said, “We should hurry up and go back now since they might be waiting to intercept us somewhere else!”

Benny recalled the terrifying scene from earlier and nodded fervently with a lingering fear inside his heart.

Just like that, Archie and Benny walked hand in hand away from the crowd and left the plaza from another exit.

They halted a cab and headed back to the mansion. The sky had already turned dark when they arrived home.

Archie and Benny tiptoed inside the mansion.

Lysa was preparing dinner in the kitchen, and she murmured to herself, “They’ve been sleeping for the whole day. I wonder if they’re hungry. Maybe I should make more food for them than usual.”
