"I will send Molly away!" Finally, Richie spoke forcefully, "but I don't want to see anything bad happen to my son…"
Mr. Deng felt embarrassed.
Richie was not in a hurry to reveal his next words. He gave Mr. Deng enough time to reconsider when his reply was not forthcoming. He looked at him indifferently and said, "But if you kill Molly Xia, I will kick Brian out of Long's family and will not be responsible for his actions."
Mr. Deng gasped at Richie. His mouth slightly opened as a fish who was suddenly taken out of the water. He didn't expect that Richie would take this stance and be resolute in his decision. If Brian was kicked out of the Long's family, his actions would have nothing to do with Long's family or even the Dragon Island. And with the current situation, it would not benefit the State Parliament at all. If they would succeed in eliminating Molly in the future, no one knew what Brian would do to avenge her. And no one would know what would be the result of his revenge. They could not risk that... Just for a woman, the situation would be out of control. This was absolutely not what the State Parliament wanted to see.
Mr. Deng's mouth trembled visibly. He was quite nervous…
Looking at his troubled expression, Frank said with a slight smile, "Mr. Deng, it is the best way to deal with the problem now, isn't it? The State Parliament was just upset that Brian stopped C Army Group from killing Molly. If you continue with this option, then it will cause an uncontrollable result. Do you think that's necessary? Or something that is best avoided? Sending Molly away will calm down the atmosphere. People will forget about her. After a long time… Whatever will be the situation at that time, it would be better than the current situation."
Mr. Deng's eyes shifted on Frank. He knew in his heart that it was the best solution. He didn't doubt that Richie would do exactly as he threatened. Richie had a reputation for being heartless. The people he killed were innumerable. Maybe only this domineering man could have a son like Brian who was as uncompromising and powerful as he was.
*
A City, the private hospital of Dragon Empire Group.
Molly was sitting in the corner of the restaurant by the window. She looked out with eager eyes and wondered how she would be able to leave the hospital. Yesterday she made an attempt to leave the hospital. But she didn't even get out of the ward when a nurse "politely" sent her back. At first, she thought it was because of her bad luck. Hiding in the dark, she secretly waited for another chance to escape. When she tried to go out again, the nurse was there to stop her again.
Not long after that, Brian was on the phone demanding to speak to her. She still remembered the terrified look in the nurse's eyes as she passed the phone to her…
"Molly, you still haven't recovered fully. Where do you want to go? Could you please stop struggling?" Brian's voice was low and husky. He seemed quite tired.
"I just wanted to go out for a walk…" Molly answered softly, "I'm feeling restless. I have stayed in the hospital for a long time. I want to go out for a while to see the busy streets that filled with New Year atmosphere."
Listening to her soft voice, Brian couldn't stay angry. He told her he was sorry to leave her on her own. He was just busy these days. He promised to accompany her to walk down the market places and see the streets after he dealt with a few things. He told her they could take the time to buy some things to decorate the villa.
