Chapter 1269: 1265

"It seems something happened with the Lawrence Family, they left in a hurry," Chloe Johnson said. Although Bella Green didn’t know what happened to the Lawrence Family, she still breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let’s prepare quickly so we can leave here as soon as possible."

Chloe nodded and followed Bella Green to get busy.

...

Meanwhile, things had settled down somewhat at the Lawrence Family side.

After Vivian Thornecroft was taken away, Mason Bennett was also about to leave but was called to a halt by the elder Mr. Lawrence.

"Hold on."

Mason paused his steps, turned around, and looked at the elder Mr. Lawrence, his attitude not particularly respectful.

After all, regarding this matter, he hadn’t given Bella Green a perfect approach.

The elder Mr. Lawrence naturally noticed his dissatisfaction and snorted immediately.

"The truth of this matter is yet to be verified, you don’t have to treat me with this attitude. If it’s confirmed that he indeed did this, I won’t condone it."

The elder Mr. Lawrence’s voice grew colder, carrying a hint of murderous intent.

Mason pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"Then, elder Mr. Lawrence, have you considered his motive for harming people?"

The elder Mr. Lawrence froze; he had considered it but couldn’t figure it out...

"Bella Green can know his biggest secret, which is that jade pendant. He wants this secret to be forever silent and naturally revolves around this charm. I’m not a Lawrence Family member, I don’t know your family’s affairs, but elder Mr. Lawrence, for Bella’s sake, you should think it over."

After speaking, he strode out, his pace rather hurried.

The elder Mr. Lawrence remained in place, Mason’s words striking him like an epiphany.

Perhaps, he did understand but was somewhat unwilling to think in that direction...

"Dad, what’s going on? What does Mason Bennett’s words mean just now?"

Ariana was listening nearby, feeling completely baffled, though she heard some things, she couldn’t understand the gist...

The elder Mr. Lawrence looked at his eldest daughter-in-law, paused for a moment, sighed, and shook his head.

Just as he was about to leave, the protector halted, a glimmer of shadow flashing through his eyes.

"Ariana, come over, and let’s talk about the details when we were in Brocade City."

Although Ariana didn’t understand, she knew something major might have occurred, and quickly followed.

"Grandpa, I’ll go have a look," Louis Lawrence said.

The elder Mr. Lawrence gestured with his hand, allowing him to go follow them to take a look.

After all, this kind of matter with the Lawrence Family absolutely cannot be exposed, otherwise, such a scandal—whether concerning the century-old family’s reputation or the Lawrence Family’s legacy—would be unbearable.

Louis Lawrence strode out.

Just as he stepped out the door, he saw a black Cullinan parked by the roadside.

He walked over.

The car window rolled down, revealing a man’s cold visage.

"You said you would let me meet Bella today."

Mason Bennett’s voice was extremely cold.

He was able to run here from Brocade City and cooperate with Louis Lawrence to stir up such a mess because Louis had promised that he would let him meet Bella Green today...

Vivian Thornecroft was a decoy...

Although he didn’t know how Louis Lawrence managed to pull this off.

If he hadn’t known beforehand, he might have really thought that Vivian Thornecroft had been the mastermind.

"Hmm, you should head to Brocade City first, I’ll arrange it."

Mason Bennett glanced at him, the man still wore a rather roguish grin.

Louis Lawrence was one of the few people he couldn’t see through.

This man concealed himself too well...

Louis Lawrence patted lightly on the car he was leaning against, signaling for departure.

"That necklace belongs to B.B., Vivian Thornecroft isn’t a member of the Lawrence Family, right?"

Louis Lawrence paused, his eyes turning colder, and his lips curled into a slight sneer.

"Perhaps."

Louis Lawrence carelessly finished his sentence, then walked away.

Mason Bennett didn’t linger either, he headed straight to the airport and returned to Brocade City.
