Chapter 3293 Take Them Down With Her With a soft click, the manor's door swung open.
Jean wiped the smile off his face, staring seriously at the people stepping out.
There cLuke, Luca, Percy, Nina, and Louis.
There were five of them. That seemed like a lot, but Jean had brought ten thugs with him, which clearly outnumbered them.
His lecherous gaze lingered on Luca for a while before shifting to Nina. He picked the weakest target to start with.
"Nina, look at you. Instead of visiting your real family, you chere to people who have nothing to do with you. Have you lost your mind? Or are you just hoping forand Mom to drop dead so that you can forget your own family?" Nina rolled her eyes and let out a cold snort. "This is my god-grandfather's house. Where else would I go? Jean, I suggest you don't stir up trouble, or you'll regret it!" Jean erupted with rage. "So what? You're treatingand Mom like we're dead, is that it? Do you even have a conscience? Mom raised you through thick and thin, and now you're married, you won't even chto visit? Instead, you choose a family that has nothing to do with you? Are you insane? Where does that leave our mother?" "Exactly. Nina, we're your real family. Why are you treatinglike this?" Anna wiped the tears from her face. Nina felt irritated. The weather was too hot for this nonsense. This was definitely not a good tfor an argument.
She reminded them, "You signed an agreement. What now? Already having second thoughts?" Anna froze for a moment, struggling to squeeze out more tears. She could no longer keep up the act.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Nina, do you even have a heart? That money you gave wasn't even enough for my medical bills, and now, you want to cut ties? Lettell you, the only reason I signed that agreement was because I needed the money for my treatment.
"And for your information, that agreement means nothing here in A City. We're still your family, so you'll have to supportwhether you like it or not. Don't think you're invincible just because you've cozied up to the Crawford family. You were born into the Langdon family, and you'll never escape us!" Nina's eyes reddened with anger. Born into the Langdon family? Nina replied in a low voice, "So that means if you two were dead, I'd have nothing to do with you anymore, right?" The thought of dealing with these two was making her lose her patience again. She knew this line of thinking was dangerous. However, she was left with no choice. They were driving her insane.
If it were not for Percy, she might have already snapped and taken them down with her. Jean did not catch what she said and instinctively asked, "What?" "I said, Jean, I'm this close to killing you!" Nina's eyes flashed with hatred.
If they were dead, none of this would be happening.
Percy felt sorry and pulled Nina into his arms. He knew what she was thinking, but it was not the right solution. Throwing her own life away for people like them was not worth it.
Nina gripped his hand tightly. If it were not for him, she would not have been able to hold on for this long. "You're insane!" Anna yelled when she heard what Nina said. "You think you can act like this just because you're connected to the Crawford family now? First, it was your brother. Will it benext?" Nina's eyes reddened as she watched Anna's attempt to defend Jean. The motherly, caring facade was starting to crumble, and it made her laugh. "Mother? Are you really my mother?" Anna was taken aback for a moment. "How am I not? I carried you for nine months and almost died giving birth to you. How am I not your real mother?" Nina took a deep breath. Arguing with them would only make things worse. She said, "I've already repaid everything I owe you. You're here today for money, right? Well, lettell you, I have no more money to give you. So, give up on that idea." "Nina!" Anna yelled angrily. "You're not giving us money, huh? If you don't, I swear I'll tear that mouth of yours right off, you little brat!" When Jean noticed that Anna was about to throw a tantrum, he quickly grabbed her. "Mom, didn't I tell you to calm down?" Anna's face was red with rage. "I don't care! I'll finish this brat off for good today! I'll just pretend I never had this daughter!" "Mom, lethandle this," replied Jean.
Anna took a deep breath, trying to suppress her anger. She pinned her hopes on Jean.
Jean looked over at Luca, who was standing next to Luke, and then glanced at Percy. He said, "Percy, we're really at the end of our rope here. Please giveand my mom a way to survive, alright?" "I'm not giving you any more money," Percy flatly refused.
If he gave them money, Nina would definitely be furious with him.
Jean's expression darkened. He nodded sharply and said, "Fine, no money, right? You don't want to play nice, huh? In that case, let's settle this another way!" He turned to Luke. "Crawford, I'm here to settle a score with you today." Luke did not even glance his way. Instead, he lifted his hand to gently wipe the sweat from Luca's forehead. "Are you feeling hot?" Luca nodded. "Yeah, a little." Their affectionate exchange was like a slap in the face to Jean. "Crawford! Are you deaf?" "Jean, either say what you have to say or get lost!" Louis chimed in.
He thought the within the Crawford family was bizarre enough, but he had not expected Nina's family to be this ridiculous.
This was something else. What a miserable family to be born into.
"Hmph, what's it got to do with you?" Jean shot him a glare, then locked eyes with Luke again. "Duke, you still qwefor stealing my fiancée back then. And now, you've stolen my sister too. Perfect. We'll settle all of this today!" Luke continued to ignore him.
Jean pressed on, "Here's the deal. I'm giving you two options. One, givefive million dollars, and I let the whole thing with that slut, Bianca, slide. Or two, hand over your woman, and we'll call it even." Luke frowned. Jean insulting Bianca made his blood boil. He could not stand anyone speaking badly about her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuca frowned as well. Even after all this time, Jean's mouth was still as filthy as ever.
Fortunately, Luke had been there back then. If she had really married into the Langdon family, who knew how difficult her life would have become? Luca recalled the days back then. Even though Jean had treated her well at the tand his family had been kind to her, she realized she never truly loved him.
Even if they had gotten engaged and would nor even if Luke had not been involved, she probably would not have ended up with Jean. There had always been something holding her back. She knew she could never have just settled for Jean. "You can't handle your loss, so now, you're throwing a tantrum here? Jean, are you that big of a fool to be asking for death?" Luke's tone was ice-cold.
If Luke was bothered to say more than a few words to someone as insignificant as Jean, it was either because he was in an exceptionally good mood or because he was extremely angry.
This time, Jean had crossed the line.
Nina could tell from Luke's voice that Jean had seriously pushed him too far.
She remained silent, knowing whatever happened next, Jean had brought it on himself.
Jean frowned. "So, you're rejecting both options, huh? Fine! Do you see these guys behind me?" He gestured toward the group of thugs he had brought. "They're here to helpserve justice today!"
