Chapter 168: Visitor
As Leander pondered, Lionel got a notification on his phone. "He’s here," Lionel showed him the text. "My dad wants me home. He NEEDS me."
Leander pressed his lips. He wanted to tell Lionel that his father might be trying to use this chance to bring him back to the family. But he didn’t know if he can speak about this to Lionel.
He’s his father and he should be standing by his father’s side if he needed him. Leander knew that Lionel’s father wouldn’t have sent this text easily. There must be a big trouble.
But will Lionel go to his father? He cannot blame Lionel if he does that. It would be a total waste of everything he did till then to stay away. But he will understand.
That’s what family does. They leave everything else and would stand for their family if they need them. Right? Right... That’s what he is doing.
Lionel bowed his head and stared at the text for some time. His eyes went side to side as if he was thinking deeply. Then his eyes lit up as he reached a decision.
"Leo," Lionel placed his hand on his shoulder. "I’ll go talk to my dad," he said with a slight nod as he was firm on his decision.
Leander let out a deep breath. In the end, Lionel couldn’t keep away from his family business. It’s like they are fated to be stuck in the family business even if they don’t agree with what they do.
What else can they do? Abandon their family in their times of need?
"And, Leo..." Lionel looked at Leander and his eyes shimmered with determination. "Isn’t Brie under your surveillance? Get her before my father gets her," he held Leander’s hand. "I will not let my father use her as a bargaining chip."
Leander let out a sigh of relief and nodded. Lionel still doesn’t want to enter his family business. So, he will help him as he asks.
"In case my father’s men come for her," Lionel’s sharp eyes trained on Leander. "Do what you got to do. My father cannot get her."
