After My Death, the Love-struck CEO Begs for Reconciliation-Chapter 30 - 31

"No... you’re not allowed to leave!" Caleb Crawford growled, "Didn’t you promise to be together forever?"

He bizarrely repeated the vows Serena Sullivan and he had once exchanged, "Do you have any idea how miserable I’ve been since then?"

"You, Julian Lancaster, neither of you care about me, you both want me dead. But you know what, Serena Sullivan, do you think Julian Lancaster still loves you?"

"I’m not the one who sought you out, he brought me here. Don’t you understand yet?"

Serena Sullivan’s eyes widened with rage as she tried to digest Caleb Crawford’s words. What did it mean that Julian Lancaster had brought him here, did Julian really hate her that much?

But she knew that with Caleb’s current abilities, it was impossible to locate her. Besides, Julian Lancaster was no longer the Julian of the past.

The Julian from before wouldn’t have crashed into her with a car, nor would he have sent her to a mental hospital to suffer.

Seeing her calm down, Caleb tore the tape off her mouth.

"This isn’t my intention, I originally loved you dearly, how could I hurt you?"

"You don’t love him either, right? Isn’t what you’ve always wanted just the title of Mrs. Lancaster and his assets?"

Caleb ignored the disgust in Serena’s eyes, continuing to coax.

"I won’t hurt you, Serena, I love you the most."

"I have a plan."

"I know where Julian Lancaster is. As long as we kidnap him, we can get a ransom, and then we can run away together."

"Look at you," Caleb gently wiped the sweat off her forehead, "You’re not doing well either, are you?"

"All of this was caused by Julian Lancaster, why hasn’t he faced any punishment?"

Serena Sullivan trembled and closed her eyes. Yes, all her misery was caused by Julian Lancaster, so why was it her who was suffering?

...

Caleb Crawford came out of the hotel, found Julian Lancaster in the café, and indicated that the job was done.

"Where’s the footage?" Julian Lancaster asked him.

Caleb handed him the memory card, as Julian was about to check it, Caleb pressed down on his hand.

"What?" Julian glared at him disdainfully, but Caleb didn’t mind, "Shouldn’t private matters be viewed someplace more discreet?"

Julian snorted coldly, "My car isn’t yours to get into whenever you please."

Caleb laughed, "I wouldn’t get in, just hoping Mr. Lancaster will verify the goods soon and transfer the money to me quickly."

Julian looked at him for a while, then turned to walk towards his Maybach.

But as soon as he reached the shadows, Serena Sullivan, who was waiting there, embraced him. He reacted immediately, trying to push her away, when Caleb hit him hard with a brick from behind.

When Julian Lancaster regained consciousness, he found himself in an abandoned garage, a rag stuffed in his mouth. The pair seemed unaware that he was awake. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"We can’t call the Fordham Family, if they trace us here, we’re finished..." That was Serena Sullivan’s voice.

"Then who should we call?" Caleb was somewhat impatient, "Who else would save him?"

Serena thought for a moment, then said, "Call Clara Everard, I know she’s cozying up to Elysian’s CEO in Caelus, she must have money now."

"She loves Julian Lancaster so much, she probably wouldn’t let him die, right?"

Caleb agreed. They turned through Julian’s contact list to find my number.

Upon hearing my name, Julian Lancaster couldn’t help but tense up. Would I come to save him?

Would I still save him?
