Chapter 114
This was the third time they had a similar fight, and it always ended up with Theodore hesitating to hurt Lance.
Angel rolled her eyes when Theodore wasn’t looking. ’I should’ve known this idiot wouldn’t be able to kill that bastard, Lance.’
Unfortunately, she could not kill Lance because he was still a Grant family member. He had his personal bodyguards around.
So, all she could do was rely on Theodore, manipulating him to do her bidding.
"Are you not going to punish him, honey?" Angel asked while resting on Theo’s arm. She held his hand, gently playing with his fingers. "I mean, I also don’t want him to get hurt. But there is no other way. You need to eliminate him as soon as possible."
...
Theo gave her no response, which infuriated her so much.
But she maintained her pure appearance and pressured him further: "At this point, it could be a kill or be killed situation..."
"Kill or be killed?" Theodore frowned. "No, Lance might be rebellious and stubborn. But I know him. He won’t hurt his family members."
"He might do that if he’s desperate..."
"No," Theo denied firmly. He looked serious as he rejected that plausibility. "I know my brother very well, and you know him too, Angel."
"O—Of course, I know him. I was his nanny, too," Angelica said. She didn’t want Theo to suspect that she had an ulterior motive. So she snuggled into his embrace and added, "I—I’m just scared, Theo. I’m scared that he will try to hurt me while you’re not around. I practically raised him as his nanny, and I know things that you don’t know, including how vile Lance could be."
