Mr. Mysterious's Spontaneous Bride
When Lisa lifted her head, she saw her entire family tied up in the center of the sofa. "What are you going to do?! What are you going to do?!" "Our boss is disabled, unable to walk. What he despises the most is that those who harmed him in the past can still live freely with their families while he is handicapped." "What does that have to do with me?! Let my family go!" She shouted with all her might, but her accusations seemed to fall on deaf ears. Inwardly hesitating for a moment, Lisa almost blurted out the truth. However, she quickly dispelled that thought. The truth was her cash cow. Once exposed, she wouldn't receive money from the Alter family anymore, and her standard of living would plummet. Thinking of this, Lisa clenched her teeth and refused to compromise. "Since you don't fear breaking the law, go ahead. I don't believe you really dare to do anything outrageous!" “What?" Assistant Luke sneered, laughing at Lisa's stupidity. Mr. Tate drew on his extraordinary willpower to reclaim his life from the clutches of Hades. The man, having trodden on the knife, only resented that his act of revenge fell short of satisfaction. In the study, Shawn, with a panoramic view of Lisa's expressions and reactions, nodded imperceptibly. Jasson pressed the button and uttered, "Let's proceed." In the next moment, the bodyguard seized an iron bar and delivered a forceful blow to Lisa's brother. "Ah! Ah! Ah!" Repeatedly, the iron rod swung wildly, and the hoarse screams of agony persisted. They resonated through the screen, rending Lisa's heart. Blood splattered, staining the screen a deep red. The scene was so gruesome and horrifying that even Jasson and Luke averted their eyes. However, Shawn continued to gaze at everything unfolding on the screen. Just an hour prior, they had forwarded a photograph of Lisa's brother to british police, who were investigating Shawn’s car accident. Upon comparing the image with Lisa's brother's face, the police confirmed that he was the individual responsible for the hit-and-run incident. At that moment, Lisa's parents, were sitting in a car. What were they doing? Recording videos. They filmed a video of Shawn’s accident in England, contacting Bob Alter on speaker after he was hit. "Mr. Bob Alter, according to your request, we've already run him over as you wanted. We've also destroyed the evidence. About the promised ten million, are you going to transfer it now?" "I’ll send 8 million first. Once I confirm he's dead, I'll send the remaining 2 million." "It's a deal. We've recorded this conversation..." ... "Shawn..." "Shawn?" "Shawn!" Jasson's voice snapped Shawn back to reality. Shawn gave a slight nod, indicating that he had noticed Jasson's attention. Jasson sighed discreetly. If possible, he really wished to give this pitiful man a good hug. An hour ago, he had been deeply shocked by the recording sent from England. Even someone born into a family devoid of affection like him couldn't bear to watch this. What kind of beast would ruthlessly kill their own child without batting an eye? "How is he?" Shawn's low voice made Jasson feel a pang of sympathy. Even his voice softened. "He's still alive." "Keep him alive," Shawn said. "Let Luke report on Lisa's situation." At this moment, the focus of the monitor shifted back to the external living room. Lisa was already crying, holding onto Assistant Luke's thighs, pleading desperately, "Please, spare me and my family."Assistant Luke crouched down, gripping her chin and coldly asking, "Are you prepared to confess everything?" "I..." Lisa hesitated once again. She knew very well that if she confessed everything, not only would she lose the money, but she might also lose her life. Thinking of this, Lisa wiped away her tears and said, "Can I have some time to think?" "How could we give you time to think?" Assistant Luke scoffed. He raised his hand, and on the large screen, the bodyguard once again began beating her brother's legs with a baton. "Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!" After a desperate roar, Lisa watched in horror as her brother's right leg was now broken, the bones shattered into two pieces. "Stop, please stop! I'll talk, I'll talk!" The world fell silent. After Lisa finished crying and lifted her head, Assistant Luke and Sanders were already sitting in front of her with chairs. They both sat casually with crossed legs, wearing solemn expressions, waiting for her to confess the truth. "I... I've actually been Bob Alter’s mistress." "What?" Assistant Luke and Sanders thought they misheard, but soon they felt relieved. After all, it wasn't surprising for a woman to be with two men, especially in Bob Alter's case. "When did you start with Bob Alter?" Assistant Luke lowered his voice. Lisa shivered and whispered, "When I was eighteen." "Thirty years ago..." In the study, Jasson was about to exclaim "What the heck," but he glanced at Shawn beside him and swallowed his words. "Even before I was born, they were already together." A hint of mockery in his lips. Shawn's profound disappointment was evident. He was disappointed that his mother, who had worked so hard for so many years, thought she had found true love, only to realize that this man had never truly embraced her. Shawn tightly gripped the wheelchair armrest, forcing himself to stay calm. "Let her start from the beginning, every detail, tell me everything clearly." "Yes!" Luke received the command and said, "Tell us everything." The story was indeed a mess and extremely tragic. Lisa confessed almost everything she knew, revealing all the dirty and disgusting secrets within the Alter family. Jasson finally couldn't bear it several times, but every time he was about to leave, he looked at Shawn beside him, who appeared calm as if nothing was happening, and decided to stay. In his experience, the more composed Shawn appeared, the more unsettling things were. "When Bob Alter was with me, he said that as long as I helped him infuriate his wife, make her miscarry, he would give me a million." "What?" Assistant Luke and Sanders thought they heard wrong, but soon they understood. It wasn't surprising for Bob Alter to have extramarital affairs, given his character. "When Bob Alter and I were together, he wanted to get rid of his son, Cato Alter..." Lisa trembled and continued, "He didn't want the child, wanted him to die in the womb. So, he instructed me to torment Mrs. Alter, who was pregnant with the child, as his mistress. He told me to send her text messages every day and share pictures of our bed with her. Later, Mrs. Alter did suffer from premature labor several times, but Cato miraculously survived each time." "Why did he want to kill his son?" Assistant Luke asked. Lisa shook her head and shrugged, "Maybe he represents his shame. After all, he became successful because of the Tate family's help and by marrying Mrs. Alter." "So, your mom always knew that Bob Alter had issues," Jasson couldn't help but break the eerie silence in the study. "Auntie is too blinded by love." Shawn shook his head. "She just wanted to maintain the dignity of the Tate family." He understood his mother because his grandmother was the same. Even when the Tate family was tormented by Bob Alter in the past, their decades of pride and dignity prevented them from throwing tantrums. "Let Assistant Luke rest for an hour." Shawn suggested, then he drove his wheelchair and left through a side door.Jasson was afraid that something might happen to him but didn't dare to disturb him. He silently followed until he saw Shawn entering the hospital where Dom was. ***
