Park Chan-young believed that Jordan must have found some secret weakness in Lota to blackmail her into helping him. If he also knew about Lota’s secret, his chances of winning her would be even higher.
“No, Jordan didn’t force me. He… he was willing to help me. That’s why I agreed. I’m sorry…”
Park Chan-young was curious. “Agree to help you? Help you with what? Lota, what help do you need? Tell me quickly!”
Park Chan-young blamed himself. When he was chatting with Lota in the past, he had already noticed that she was a little lonely. But he never asked her if she needed help. And now, Jordan had beat him to it!
Lota hesitated for a moment before saying, “Jordan promised to take me away from my family and from Switzerland before my coming-of-age ceremony.”
Park Chan-young was stunned when he heard that. He asked in surprise, “You want to leave the family? Why? Why do you have to leave before your 18th coming-of-age ceremony? Shouldn’t your coming-of-age ceremony be a happy event?”
Park Chan-young found Lota’s actions a little incomprehensible. For a fair, rich and beautiful woman like Lota, her family would definitely give her all kinds of gifts to celebrate her 18th birthday and welcome her into adulthood.
Every girl should be looking forward to such a coming-of-age ceremony. Why would Lota insist on escaping before this?
Jordan, who was at the side, had also wondered about this. However, he was focused on saving Marissa then and didn’t think too much about it. If Lota wanted to escape from the family, there must be some complex reason behind it.
It was very likely that Lota’s parents had been very strict with her. In order to prevent her from revealing her family secrets and making any friends, even when she came of age, she might not be able to enjoy the privileges of adulthood.
That was why Lota wanted to escape.
Lota didn’t answer the question directly. “Well… I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you the reason.”
Park Chan-young knew that many family secrets could not be discussed with outsiders, so he understood very well. “Lota, if you want to run away from home, why did you ask Jordan for help? The Steele family is the weakest among us. How could he have the ability to bring you away from your family?!
“I am the only one who can help you! Lota, just you wait. I’ll take you away tonight! Now tell me where your house is…”
Jordan walked over and hung up the phone.
“Why did you hang up the phone?!” Park Chan-young snapped.
Jordan replied sternly, “Park Chan-young, I’ve already promised Lota that I would bring her away from Switzerland. She helped me, so I should fulfill my promise to help her. This matter is none of your business!”
Jordan became anxious when he heard that Park Chan-young wanted to snatch this task from him.
Jordan had a strong desire to protect such a pure and beautiful little girl like Lota. He had to be the one to bring her away.
Park Chan-young felt the same as Jordan. They both wanted the task.
Park Chan-young shouted, “How dare you! Lota is my fiancée. Of course, I should be the one to take her away. What right do you have to take my wife away?!”
Jordan said angrily, “Don’t keep calling her your fiancée and wife. A pure and kind girl like Lota will never marry a treacherous b*stard like you! It’s already difficult for you to walk now, yet you still want to save people? You should hurry back to South Korea to recuperate!”
When Park Chan-young looked down at his leg injury, he became even more infuriated at Jordan. He wished he could kill him! With the Park family’s pride, he would never let Jordan carry out this task.
What if Jordan brought Lota away and she slept with him out of gratitude?
