Chapter 156: Escape Plan
"Alfonso, this line of yours is getting boring," Old Mr. Thorne started immediately after Alfonso’s fierce declaration.
"Get him out of here. I’m sure the black cells are dying to have him." He said, this time around looking at Eric and Shawn.
The duo, having done their homework on who Old Mr. Thorne was, nodded respectfully and roughly jerked Alfonso’s arms, preparing to drag him away, but Alfonso pulled his weight, refusing to be moved.
Instead, he kept talking. "Since there is a higher chance that Ewan won’t see the light of day tomorrow..."
"Alfonso!" Sandro and Zane echoed at the same time, while Fiona wondered what her father was up to this time around.
A shuffle of feet from the exit door caused everyone to turn aside, their eyes furrowing when they saw Margeret walking in.
Seeing that the guards stationed at the exit had let her in, Athena believed the latter had told them that she wanted to give her husband and daughter her last regards before they were taken away.
But Margeret paused when she noticed that she was the center of attention.
"Did I interrupt something..." She muttered, tad bit scared, but was greeted with no response.
Alfonso swallowed painfully, knowing that the next step in this plan would offend his wife greatly but had no choice but to continue, especially since Athena just called him out.
"You were saying, Alfonso..." Athena had said, folding her arms across her chest.
