Chapter 25: A WATERMELON BABY
A harsh punch landed on Arlo’s face when he confessed to Arthur Lozen, the head of the Lozen family, that Aubrey was pregnant with his child.
Arlo wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. He could have avoided the attack, but he stayed since he knew he deserved it. If Arthur knew what actually happened to River, he was sure that he was going to kill him.
Though Arthur favored Aubrey over River, River was an asset to their family. Arthur loved Aubrey like a daughter, but Arthur loved River like his favorite subordinate.
"Is this the reason why River ran away?! Is this the reason behind her disappearance?!" Arthur roared angrily. He grabbed a gun from the table and pointed it at Arlo, but another gun was pointed at his head.
"You can hit him as you like for his mistakes, but he is still my son. I am not going to let you kill him before my eyes, Arthur." Jack furrowed his brows. "Put it down."
Arthur was shaking; he was tempted to pull the trigger and kill this young man before him in his rage, but in the end, he put down the gun, but the anger didn’t cease at all.
"Tell me everything," Arthur growled.
Seeing Arthur was no longer pointing his gun towards his son, Jack put away his gun as well. The three of them were in his office room after a long meeting to discuss the cancelation of their last order. It would hurt their business, but the only one who was qualified to do it was only River, yet that woman had gone missing for weeks. No one could find out where she had gone.
Arthur became suspicious that someone had kidnapped her or harmed her, but then River was not that easy to kidnap or threaten. She would have found a way to escape now, but if she didn’t, it only meant one thing: she had died.
