Chapter 134 Give Me an Answer Before You Leave
“You have three days.” Selena was speechless at Pierre’s reply. “Isn’t this a bit too short?”
“What makes you think you have the right to negotiate terms with me?” he bit back. How dare she try to negotiate this when I am the one in charge? “You—”
“Give me an answer before you leave this island.” After turning his attention away from her, he went upstairs. Meanwhile, she gave him an eye roll before deciding to put the matter aside for the time being. It would be better use of time to give Juniper a call to tell her she was safe.
Back in Fowler Residence, John was pacing back and forth in his study, anxious over the lack of news of Pierre. By that point, he was starting to regret what he did, all the while wondering if he made a wrong move by forcing Pierre into a marriage. If he did intend to marry, he would’ve made sure nothing would go wrong. Pierre was a meticulous person, so an attack like that shouldn’t have happened during the wedding.
At that moment, Yoel came into the study after a knock.
“How is it? Do you have any news?” John shot up from his seat.
“Yes, Mr. Fowler. Young Master Pierre and Miss Yard were abducted by the group of people, but Young Master was witty enough to be able to throw them off and reach another island on a rescue boat. However…”
“What is it?” John’s eyes went wide. Perhaps due to age, he was no longer as firm as he used to be; all he prayed for was his son’s safety.
“Young Master was shot, but he was injured on his leg, so he should be alright.”
Only then did John sit down, figuring that all was well as long as Pierre was alive. At that moment, a figure could be seen dashing past the door. “Mr. Fowler, the Young Master Chris is home,” Yoel quickly reported. In response, John merely frowned without saying anything.
