Chapter 123
Austin Grant didn’t have time to think; he immediately pushed Vivian Sinclair and Old Madam Grant into the pile of grass, covering them with all the weeds, and then he rolled himself up.
“With me here, you can forget about touching them p>
He gritted his teeth and charged forward, grappling with the black-clad attackers.
It was clear that Austin Grant had practiced some moves.
But only a few moves.
The dozen black-clad attackers quickly pinned him to the ground, adding punches and kicks to beat him to death.
Even though he repeatedly struggled to get up, ignoring the pain all over his body and the flesh wounds, he clenched his fists and hammered up, but each time he was pinned to the ground again.
“The boss said p>
“Keeping such a menace only causes Ms. Rivers to hesitate p>
“So, we must strike to kill p>
“Tonight, apart from that old thing, no life should be spared p>
“As for the one who ran away, she’ll be killed sooner or later p>
The one who ran away referred to Vivian Sinclair.
So these people didn’t know that Vivian Sinclair was hiding over there; she could easily leave them and escape.
But Vivian Sinclair did not do that.
Because Old Madam Grant was trembling, crying, pleading with her: “It’s all my fault… I’m useless p>
“Vivian, think of something quickly, Austin can’t die, he can’t p>
“Good child, I beg you as your grandmother p>
“I owe you, The Grant Family owes you, Austin owes you too p>
“We are willing to repay everything you want, any conditions you want I’ll agree to p>
“But he really, really can’t die p>
Vivian Sinclair knew Austin Grant deserved to die.
For what he had done to her, he could die a thousand times and she shouldn’t feel pity.
But as Old Madam Grant spoke, she was already struggling to turn over and tremblingly knelt down to Vivian Sinclair.
“I beg you p>
Vivian Sinclair quickly helped her up: “Enough p>
“I can only do my best p>
From these people’s words, she deduced that with Austin Grant dead, she would surely be next.
Even if she managed to escape tonight, Dylan Drexler would cling to her like a vicious ghost.
So, indeed, he couldn’t die.
Not only couldn’t he die, but he had to stay alive to deal with Dylan Drexler.
But Vivian Sinclair was just a pregnant woman; how could she possibly rescue him from the hands of these vicious thugs?
She had to protect herself because she had her two babies inside whom she cared more about.
Yet seeing Austin Grant about to be beaten to death, she couldn’t care any longer, picked up a stone from nearby, and raised it to strike those black-clad attackers.
She threw stone after stone with force.
Some hit, some missed.
But the stones she picked grew larger, and soon someone was directly smashed in the head by her stone.
They noticed Vivian Sinclair’s actions in the grass back there.
One by one they turned their heads, showing vicious looks and staring at her.
They stared at Vivian Sinclair hiding in the grass.
“Damn bitch p>
“It’s you p>
“Alright, since you’re here, it saves us the trouble of searching p>
“How easy it is… since that’s the case, kill them all together p>
As soon as they finished speaking, the group prepared themselves eagerly.
Old Madam Grant suddenly pounced on Vivian Sinclair: “If you dare touch her, then kill me first p>
Vivian Sinclair deeply looked into Old Madam Grant’s eyes.
Old Madam Grant, with tears streaming down her face, spoke in despair and heartache: “It’s all greed! It’s the disaster brought by money p>
“Having you suffer these injustices with The Grant Family p>
“I was too selfish p>
“Vivian, I should have let you escape p>
“I’m sorry for you, rest assured, even if it means death, I won’t let you suffer any harm p>
Looking into her eyes, Vivian Sinclair told herself: She’s probably protecting me so fiercely because she knows I’m pregnant.
If she knew the child I’m carrying is not the Grant’s bloodline, she would certainly hate me.
So she did not move, letting Old Madam Grant lie on her.
At this moment, Austin Grant was also struggling to get up.
“You can’t… touch her p>
“Not… allowed p>
“Unless you crawl… over my… dead body p>
While speaking, he crawled towards Vivian Sinclair.
This action, however, drew ridicule from the group of attackers.
“Look, the dignified president of The Grants is crawling like a dog on the ground p>
“Quick, take a picture, take a picture. The high-flying financial figure, able to summon winds and rain, is now just a stray dog, how hilarious, how ridiculous p>
“Hahaha p>
“We never thought we’d see this day, a financial mogul crawling for us like a dog. Hey, Mr. President, quickly learn how to bark p>
“Yes, bark a few times. Then we can be gentler with your wife later; otherwise, we’ll rip her belly open p>
Old Madam Grant ground her teeth in anger ’click clack p>
She punched the ground, furious and despairing: “You beasts p>
“Doing such inhumane things, how are you different from The Ryker Legion p>
“If you dare harm Vivian, even one hair, I’ll die tortured but won’t let you have your way, let your boss get what he wants p>
“Even in hell, I’ll crawl back up, drink your blood alive, skin you p>
Old Madam Grant roared in anger, spitting out blood as she did.
Vivian Sinclair knew her health was failing, so she finally wrapped her arms around her: “Old Madam, please don’t speak p>
“Please catch your breath, your health is important p>
Old Madam Grant hugged Vivian Sinclair back fiercely.
Seeing that she still cared about her, she cried even more sorrowfully.
Perhaps she cried because tonight they had reached a dead end.
She also cried for her own selfishness, which led Vivian Sinclair into such a dangerous situation.
She lowered her trembling voice, telling Vivian Sinclair word by word: “Good child, run quickly later p>
“No matter what, Austin and I will hold them off p>
“As long as you reach the highway, there’s a sliver of hope p>
Once over the fence, it’s the highway.
Though dangerous, it was their only chance to escape.
Old Madam Grant had already prepared herself to die alongside her grandson Austin Grant; she thought to herself that she must save Vivian Sinclair and the two children in her belly at all costs.
That was the future of The Grant Family.
Vivian Sinclair shook her head, saying nothing.
Yet even though Old Madam Grant spoke with such finality, Austin endured his humiliation and crawled towards Vivian Sinclair; these people would not let them have their way.
Someone pulled out a dagger.
Just as they were about to first take care of Austin Grant, suddenly, from afar came the sound of police sirens.
Moreover, they sounded one after another, getting closer and closer in urgency.
These people finally panicked.
“What’s going on? Didn’t the boss say that no matter what happens tonight, the police wouldn’t intervene p>
“It’s the police, the police really are here! And judging by the sound, quite a few of them p>
“What are we waiting for? Run p>
“Don’t rush, the police might not find us under the bridge. Let’s take them with us first p>
These people rushed to grab Austin Grant, just when they were about to pounce on Vivian Sinclair and the others, a sudden ’boom’ approached from the sky.
Then, everyone looked up to see a helicopter appear in the sky.
A huge beam of light and strong wind descended on the open field, illuminating even where Vivian Sinclair and the others were hiding.
Then, as if having found their target, it slowly prepared to land.
All of the people in black were forced to scatter, and Austin Grant took the opportunity to escape, quickly crawling back to Vivian Sinclair and Old Madam Grant.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here p>
“I will protect you p>
Austin Grant, with a mouth full of blood, his face swollen and bloodied, held on tightly to his remaining dignity.
He looked at Vivian Sinclair, eyes filled with deep feeling: “Vivian, once we get through this, can we start anew p>
“I, I will let go of the past and be a good husband in the future p>
Vivian Sinclair knew he was brave tonight; whatever the outcome, he truly was a man.
But between her and him, there was no longer any possibility.
“Austin Grant, you may let go, but I cannot p>
She had not forgotten the hatred, not for even a single day.
Tonight’s decision to team up with him was only due to the situation.
After speaking, she no longer cared about his disappointed expression, only looking up at the helicopter.
Vivian Sinclair had a foreboding in her heart.
She wondered if it could be just such a coincidence.
She had fallen to this state, yet he still managed to find her.
If that’s the case, then is there anywhere in all of Aurehua where she can escape?
A feeling of despair washed over her heart.
Then, Vivian Sinclair saw the helicopter land with a ’boom’ on the flat ground.
The scattered men in black instantly swarmed back.
They surrounded the helicopter completely.
“We are from Phoenixia! Under Lord Drexler p>
“People in the helicopter, stop pretending p>
“If you have guts, state your name p>
“Or get lost, stop meddling, or you won’t know what hit you p>
They were ready for an attack, but suddenly, the cabin door opened with a ’swoosh’, and six well-armed individuals charged out.
Though there were ten on this side, the people from the helicopter were clearly better equipped and more skilled.
In just half a minute, they had taken down all of Dylan Drexler’s men.
Looking at the group instantly lying on the ground, all crying out miserably.
Not only was Vivian Sinclair stunned into silence, but Austin Grant had rarely seen such a scene.
Who were these people p>
Austin Grant was still puzzled, knowing for sure these people couldn’t be from The Grants!
The Grant Family didn’t have such high-quality bodyguards.
Moreover, his father likely didn’t even know he had been kidnapped.
So there was no way The Grants would have such an extravagant rescue.
Then who could it be?
An enemy of Dylan Drexler?
Just then, another person jumped off the helicopter.
This person was Leo Linden.
He adjusted his glasses, calmly directing, “Pile these up p>
“Wait for the police to deal with them p>
“Clear the way p>
After speaking, he stepped aside from the rear.
Then, the last person in the cabin finally appeared slowly.
