He Finally Noticed Me Right When I Was Leaving novel Chapter 205

Alaric was pale, sweating profusely from the pain, until a pair of dark brown handmade leather shoes entered his vision.

His eyes instantly filled with pure terror.

Slowly raising his head, he saw Franklin towering over him, glaring down with menacing intent. Franklin had already started unbuttoning his cuffs and rolling up his sleeves.

He cracked his knuckles, the sickening pop echoing in the quiet night.

"Do you know who I am?" he asked.

Alaric wasn't stupid. Hearing Felicity call him by his name earlier, he had already figured out that the man standing before him was the eldest son of the Foster family, Franklin Foster.

He had heard Pierce Prescott mention a few times that he had a close circle of friends, one of them being the Foster heir.

Franklin loosened his tie and wrapped it tightly around his hands, sizing up Alaric's neck. Extreme terror gripped Alaric.

"Even if you're a Foster, you can't just commit murder in the middle of the street!"

"Not on the street, no. But I can easily find a place where your body will never be found. You touched my sister, so you should've expected the consequences."

"No..." Alaric shook his head desperately. "I know who you are! You're Franklin Foster, you're Pierce's best friend..."

"Even if Pierce was standing right here, he couldn't save you."

As he spoke, he looped the tie around Alaric's neck.

Seeing this, Alaric thrashed wildly. In a moment of sheer desperation, he screamed, "I'm Mrs. Prescott's uncle! Seraphina Somerset is my niece! Lay one finger on me, and Pierce will never let you get away with it!"

Seraphina's uncle?

Franklin's poised strike froze instantly, hovering mid-air.

He knew perfectly well that Seraphina had been taken in by her uncle and aunt as a child and raised in their home.

Her uncle had watched her grow up. He was her closest and most respected elder in the world, practically a father figure to her.

If he actually killed this old man, he would ruin any chance he ever had with Seraphina...
