Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 801

That phrase sounded a little familiar.

"Understood, Mira. I absolutely won't let them in from now on."

Rachel swore to it. Tonight had terrified her, and she was overwhelmingly grateful Mira had returned just in time.

Downstairs, Sebastian and Miles walked out only to see Gwen treated like a dangerous criminal, pinned inside Mira's car by Silas, with that filthy sock still securely wedged in her mouth.

Even when the bodyguards spotted them approaching, they didn't loosen their grip. Instead, Silas ordered sharply, "Bring your car around. If anyone walks by, they're going to think this is a kidnapping."

Sebastian was emotionally exhausted from the night's events. Lacking the energy to argue, he silently complied and went to pull the car up.

Miles stayed behind and reached out, trying to pull the sock out of his mother's mouth.

"Don't. You pull that out, and she's going to start screaming bloody murder. Get her in your car first, drive a mile down the road, and then do whatever you want.

Consider the sock a gift. No need to return it."

Gwen glared... *Gee, thanks, you absolute bastards.*

...

Not long after they departed, Sebastian called Mira.

"Are you busy right now?"

"Go ahead."

"Mira, I just wanted to tell you... you don't need to repay me for what happened back then. I saved you simply because you are my niece.

To me, it was nothing more than lifting a finger. I never expected any reward.

As for your grandmother and me... how can the bond between a mother and son just break like that?

She endured so much hardship to raise us. Now that she's in her twilight years, how can I sever ties with her? What kind of man would that make me?

People would spit on my spine."

"But your presence is actively destroying her mental and physical health.

Do you really not know what kind of person your wife is? She says she wants to visit Eleanor, and you just blindly bring her over?

Have you lost your mind?

You know perfectly well what condition Eleanor's heart is in. The only reason she is still alive and stable is because I've been maintaining her health with premium medical care.

I don't care whether you officially sever ties or not. I just want your entire family to stop appearing in front of her."
