Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap by Hannah Baker

Alyssa placed the stock transfer document right below where his hands were so that it was convenient for him to sign.

Stanford didn’t do anything.

Alyssa began to worry, “Do it now. Don’t force my hand.”

“Even if I were to sign this, do you think everything will work out just like that?” Stanford broke his silence and said coldly.

“It will work as long as you sign this. Don’t force me to employ those means from a long time ago on you now.” Alyssa’s tone took on a sudden turn into one dripping with viciousness, which also showed on her face.

She took the glass of water from the table and said to him, “This is just boiled, and you should know how does it feel to let this touch your skin.”

She added nonchalantly, “Do you still remember the time when you got home and I accidentally poured hot soup onto your body?”

She then revealed a smile, “I did that on purpose. There are only three members in this family who I acknowledge. Why should I raise you too?”

The moment she ended her sentence, a huge noise broke out.

Bang!

The door was forced open violently by someone.

Atwood and George rushed in.

Atwood received a call from Stanford earlier on but didn’t hear anything. Immediately he knew that something was off, so he went straight to the James family house, which made him realize that Stanford was not there. He only saw George who was just coming to be.

The path they took when leaving the residential area was full of security cameras. Through those, they found out which car they had taken and after combining all the clues they found, they were able to reach this place.

“Lindsay!” Atwood roared angrily as he didn’t expect her to show herself again.

Lindsay fumbled around and got herself a fruit knife on the table, and her gaze swept over Alyssa and Stanford as she mulled over whoever was more valuable as a hostage. After a moment of hesitation, she put the knife against Stanford’s neck.

Stanford couldn’t move due to being tied, which made it easy for her to hold him hostage. Furthermore, if she was going to get captured, later on, she would rather die. Naturally, she had to make sure Stanford was together with her all the way.

George’s expression was the most hideous among everyone present. He looked at Alyssa with a heartbroken face, “Mum, tell me that you really want to make peace and forget about the past with your brother. Tell me that you want to apologize to him. When you asked me to invite him to come back home, you’re lying to me, weren’t you?”

Alyssa pulled him to her side and said, “You need to be clear about something. I am your mother. We are family, and this is the perfect opportunity. Fast, ask him to sign this, and the company will be yours.”

George flung her away and cried out, “Why did you have to do this?”

“I am doing this for your own good.” Alyssa was exasperated at her son’s insolence, “Are you stupid?”

“Do you really know what I truly want?” George was so enraged by her that his eyes had turned red.
