Zack and Andre looked at the rapidly departing helicopter and exchanged a glance.
After suppressing his inner anger, Zack quickly ordered his men to track the route of the helicopter.
The two of them returned to the villa, planning to follow the route and catch up with Amon.
One of his men found a tape recorder, a video tape, and a note that read “for Griffon” in Taya’s bedroom.
“Mr. Zack, these three things were placed under this note by Miss Taya,” the man reported.
Zack took the three things and absentmindedly clicked on the tape recorder. When he heard the familiar voice, he paused for a moment, then looked up at Andre uncertainty and asked,
“Is this…”
Andre’s face darkened. “It’s Ms. Palmer’s voice.”
Andre took the video tape from Zack and saved it to a USB drive, then plugged it into the computer. The two of them felt their hearts sink as they watched the video.
Zack clenched his teeth and nodded at Andre. “You go after Amon. I’ll go back first and let Mr. Griffon make the decision.”
Zack took his men to pursue Amon while Andre quickly returned to Arcadia. Before he entered the hospital room, he squeezed the thing in his hand tightly…
He wasn’t sure if Griffon could handle it, but he didn’t want to keep it from him any longer.
After making up his mind, Andre gathered his courage and pushed open the door to Griffon’ hospital room, walking up to him.
The man on the hospital bed saw him come in, and a hint of starlight appeared in his misty eyes. “Did you find her?”
Andre, seeing that Griffon was completely fixated on Taya, sighed heavily and squeezed the recorder and USB drive harder in his hand.
He was silent for a few seconds and shook his head slightly towards Griffon. “Not yet…”
Griffon furrowed his thick brows slightly and glanced at Andre coldly. “Then why did you come back?”
Andre handed the things in his hand to Griffon and said, “I came back to ask you if you still want to continue looking for Ms. Palmer?”
Griffon didn’t quite understand what Andre meant and thought something had happened to Taya, causing his heart. to tremble in fear.
“What happened to her?”
Andre gritted his teeth, turned on the voice recorder, and immediately played Taya’s soft and gentle voice from inside.
“Griffon, I’m sorry. I found out that I don’t love you that much, so I can’t fulfill my promise to mate you.”
“Please forgive me and respect my decision. Now I’m living with my brother-in-law and we’re very comfortable together. I hope you won’t send anyone to find me again.”
“I believe you received the videos I sent, which proves that I’m doing well. Let’s live our own lives and be happy.”
The sentences were like a sharp and icy blade, piercing Griffon’ heart word by word.
The overwhelming pain covered him, piercing straight into his. heart and liver, tearing his blo ody heart apart, leaving him. writhing in agony…
He curled up his trembling fingers, struggling to get up, but he ended up falling back onto the hospital bed like a waste.
Once again, his emotions overwhelmed him. His eyes turning. crimson as if blood would drip out any moment, the whites of his eyes now obscured by blood vessels.
He stared at Andre with his bloodshot and lifeless eyes, coldly saying, “I don’t believe it. Whatever you do, you have to bring her back to me, so I can see her.”
He would never believe that she didn’t love him, not until he saw her with his own eyes and heard the words from her mouth.
Andre seemed to know he wouldn’t believe it, so he turned around, opened his computer, and inserted the USB drive…
As Griffon watched the video on the screen, his face turned pale, as if his soul had been sucked away from his body, leaving him lifeless and colorless.
Griffon felt utterly powerless, like he had been pushed off a cliff and was falling endlessly, with no hope of surviving…
Andre held onto Griffon’ trembling body and whispered, “Alpha Knight, do you still want to find her?”
“Ms. Palmer has hurt you so much. Stop looking for her anymore. You’ve done enough, just let it go…”
That was what he thought, but he didn’t say it out loud. Even he himself thought that Ms. Palmer had gone too far, let alone Alpha Knight.
However, Griffon grabbed his wrist and said in a cold voice, “All of that is fake. You must help me find her!”
Andre couldn’t believe that Griffon, who used to look down on love, had fallen to such a state.
Even if Ms. Palmer had hurt him a thousand times, he still treated her like his first love. Perhaps men were always so tolerant of their first love…
After nodding at him helplessly, Andre asked, “And if Ms. Palmer refuses to come back and see you after you find her, what will you do?”
Griffon’ eyes, which had been swallowed by a black hole, revealed a hint of dominance and tyranny.
“If she doesn’t come back, then carry me to her. I will see her even if I die!”
After several helicopter transfers, Amon’s helicopter finally arrived in Salinas.
Taya was forcibly brought into a villa, where she handed Grace to George and said, “Please take care of her for a while. I need to talk to him.”
George knew that Taya had been deceived all the way, and now she wanted to hold Amon accountable. So he took Grace and gave them some space.
With the help of the se rvant, Taya groped her way to the sofa in the living room and sat down.
Once she was seated, she lifted her eyes, which could only see a little, and searched for the direction where Amon was.
When she found him, she spoke with a cold voice, “You promised me that you would let me go home after a month, but now you have tricked me into coming to Salinas. What exactly do you want to do?”
Amon was taking out a cigarette from the box when he heard
Taya’s voice. He looked at her calmly and responded, “I’ve told you from the beginning that I never keep my promises…”
He lit the cigarette with a lighter and took a deep drag, the smoke enveloping his face and making it look somewhat gloomy.
Taya suppressed her anger and gritted her teeth. “My name is Taya, not Rosalie. I have my own life to live, but you used the excuse of wanting to see my sister again to keep me by your side. Was it to prove your love for her, or to destroy me?”
It had been a while since Amon had heard such a clear and logical argument from her. Although she had been pretending to be Rosalie and letting him manipulate her, she was more like a puppet without any thoughts of her own.
Now, showing a hint of Taya’s soul, she seemed to have regained some of her personality.
Amon stared at her and blew out a smoke ring before replying in a low voice, “You could say that I’m seeking revenge on her…”
Taya sneered coldly at his words. “You’re not seeking revenge on her, you’re seeking revenge on me…”
Amon raised an eyebrow, indifferent to her words. “You can interpret it however you want, but in my eyes, you are her.”
Taya raised her hand and touched her own face. “Sometimes, I want to destroy this face and tear out this wolf spirit, but I haven’t even seen him yet…”
She spoke until here, her heart ached and tears couldn’t be controlled, rolling down like a torrent. “Can’t you let me go back and see him even once, just one glance…”
Amon watched as Taya cried for Griffon again, and his expression grew stern. “If you keep crying, you’ll go blind.”
Taya raised her head, pushing the tears back but not the pain in her heart. She got up from the sofa in agony and knelt before Amon again, begging him humbly, “Amon, please let me go!”
She had no way out. She couldn’t see clearly and couldn’t escape. She thought by pretending to be Rosalie, she could find a glimmer of hope. However, he still wouldn’t let her go. Was it so difficult for her to go back and see him lying in the grave?
As Amon saw the woman kneeling before him, he remembered how Rosalie had also begged him to let her go.
Was he so scary that everyone had to stay away from him? Was it so wrong for him to want her, who had his sister’s wolf spirit, to stay with him?
He held the cigarette in his hand and stared at the figure kneeling and crying, his expression gradually overwhelmed by complex emotions.
When the cigarette butt burned his skin, he came back to his senses and slowly withdrew his gaze before throwing out a cold statement.
“I’ll never let you go.”
He dropped the cigarette butt, got up, and left without even looking back, as if afraid of seeing her pitiful state and being softened.
As the sound of his ruthless footsteps gradually faded away, Taya, feeling utterly hopeless, fell to the ground.
She cursed like a shrew, “Amon, you’re a big liar! You promised me! You promised to let me go. Why did you break your promise, why did you deceive me?”
Her heart-wrenching voice was blocked by the door, but it still reached the ears of George and Grace.
Playing with Lego blocks, Grace put down what was in her hands and taped her legs, wanting to find her aunt. But George scooped her up into his arms and coaxed her, “Grace, be good. Your aunt and uncle have had a little disagreement. Let them solve it themselves, okay?”
Grace wrinkled her small brow, unhappily pouting her lips. “But my aunt is crying. Can’t I go comfort her?”
Upon hearing this, George felt that he was less mature than a pup. He quickly put Grace down and continued, “Then go keep your aunt company…”
With that, Grace grinned and ran towards the door, tiptoeing and unlocking it before running to Taya with pattering short legs, using her soft hands to gently touch Taya’s tearful face.
“Aunt Taya, don’t cry. I will wipe your tears away…” Using her own sleeve, Grace wiped Taya’s cheeks.
