Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 910

"Yes. When it comes to the family, his loyalty is absolute and entirely blind to morality.

He did it for me, he did it for his son, and he'll do it for Lawrence and his sister. Even if they commit unforgivable atrocities, he will exhaust every resource to keep them out of prison."

"With a grandfather like that, it's no wonder the heirs turn into psychopathic monsters."

When someone was always there to sweep the bodies under the rug, backed by limitless wealth, they inevitably believed they were gods among men.

"That's exactly what Lawrence is."

A man psychotic enough to tamper with an aircraft mid-flight didn't deserve to breathe another day.

Mira tapped the table thoughtfully. "If we want to butcher Lawrence, our first move has to be isolating Leonard.

But at a critical juncture like this, your grandfather wouldn't leave town even if you put a gun to his head.

And obviously, you can't just have him kidnapped."

Mira looked directly at Owen. "If you want to keep him safe while ensuring he doesn't sabotage your investigation, I have a solution."

Once the dust settles and Lawrence is dealt with, we just neutralize the agent, and his mind will clear up instantly.

Give me the word, and I'll start mixing the batch right now."

"Are you absolutely certain it won't trigger a heart attack?"

"Would I ever risk poisoning your grandfather with something that has lethal side effects?

The physiological toll is practically zero."

Mira leaned forward, her tone clinical and precise. "The initial unconsciousness will be brief—a standard sedative will handle that.
