Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 263

"Justin won't kill her. He knows that's not kosher," Brian said in an indifferent tone,"but she won't be safe if she stays here, since I'm a target. They might try something when I'm not around. I can't risk that."

Harrow shrugged, he didn't think Brian would lay it out so bluntly. He took a look at Tony and then asked,"So the reason you're doing this is to make sure Molly's safe? Or are you trying get her out so Becky can come back? Of course, none of this matters now, right?"

Brian's eyes became dark while he snorted. Harrow curled his lips, expecting Brian's anger. He saw Tony mock him out of the corner of his eye, so Harrow silently pulled the corner of his mouth and discontentedly mumbled a few words.

"Mr. Brian Long, once Rory leaves, Justin will probably lay low. Since he's chosen by the reformist faction, he's probably more skilled than we give him credit for. I'm afraid things won't go well," Harrow said with a little trepidation. He knew how strong Brian was, but Vincent let him know that those ten special forces guys were some of the best. Especially Howard, who could be called the "wolf of wolves" for a new generation.

"That's what I'm afraid of. That he'll do nothing," Brian snorted in a cold and arrogant tone. He had promised Molly, so he wanted to be the one to do it. She had been hurt to learn of her family origins, and he didn't want to hurt her a second time. It didn't matter who her biological father was, Rory or Justin. She wanted to be independent, and he'd help her out.

Eric drove Molly to the alley where her house was. Molly stared at the gate of their house, and then she tore her eyes away, took out the notepad and wrote some words for Eric to read,"Thanks for the ride! Bye!"

Molly took a deep breath. She unfastened the safety belt and wanted to get out.

"Molly..." Eric tried to get her attention, and succeeded. Molly turned back and looked at him. He needed no words to tell her what he wanted to say next. His expression and his silence told her,"I'll still be there if you need me."

Molly looked at Eric in a daze, and smiled all of a sudden. She took up her notepad and scribbled some more. "Eric, don't use me as an excuse to be mad at your cousin. I'm not exactly his type anyway. But thanks for the beautiful lie. It made me happy for a bit. Bye!"

Eric frowned as soon as he finished reading. He was about to say something when Molly opened the car door, waved at him, turned around and walked into the alley.

"S-h-i-t!" Eric swore in anger. Watching Molly go through the gate, he was depressed, while his handsome face was covered with a layer of cruelty. He started the car and left angrily while silently cursing Molly for not appreciating what was good in life. However, he did not think about precisely why he was so angry. After all, he'd flirted with every woman his brother seemed to show an interest in, right?

Molly walked in, and was surprised there was no one else there. She looked everywhere in the house for her family, but found nobody. Steven and Sharon were gone, and so was Daniel, who was on holiday and home for a while.

While Molly was still confused, two people entered the house. She spun, and saw two men in black suits. Something was wrong here. She watched them warily, taking a step back to protect herself in case they tried anything.

"Are you Miss Molly Xia?" one of them asked in a plain tone.
