Not One, But Two!

Chapter 43

"Say something! What should we do now?" Greg had never been a patient man, and it was usually others who begged him for help. If it weren't for Abigail, he would never have had a taste of begging someone else. Well, I'm not begging for help. He owes me a favor, and I just want him to repay it now.

Meanwhile, Stanley was in a dilemma. He gazed at him and uttered, "I might not be able to help you with this. My mom and my younger sister are very conservative. At that time, the man that my eldest sister fell in love and wanted to run away with was my younger sister's fiancé, so—"

"How ridiculous!" Greg thought that even a melodrama was more realistic than what he had just heard.

With a bitter smile, Stanley then replied, "My eldest sister is nowhere to be found, so I can't help you even if I want to. Moreover, my younger sister was too agitated because of this event, so she's become somewhat disturbed now. I really have no say in this matter."

"In other words, you're basically useless in your family." Greg looked at him with disdain.

On the other hand, Stanley was rendered speechless. After all, he was powerless when it came to this matter.

Greg impatiently lit up a cigarette and asked, "Since there's nothing you can do, what will happen to Abigail?"

"It's easier to appease the other villagers. As long as she stays in the ancestral hall and gets punished a bit, they'll be fine with it. However, I'm worried that my younger sister will be relentless. My mother was utterly disappointed in my eldest sister, so she severed ties with her over twenty years ago. Now, she only acknowledges my younger sister as her daughter, so she won't be friendly to Dr. Kain."

In an instant, Greg's gaze darkened. "Are they going to kill Abigail? Do they think we're living in a lawless country?"

"She's being held captive in this place now, and it's always been like this in our village. The authorities will never bother to come over and interfere in our affairs."

Upon hearing that, Greg sported a gloomy expression. Initially, he thought that the matter could be easily settled with Stanley around, but he hadn't expected him to be so useless. Furthermore, Abigail's life was at risk now, and it made Greg lose his composure.

Upon seeing his dark expression, Stanley was nervous. "Mr. Buckley, you can't forcefully get her out of here!"

"Haha." Greg sneered and called Troy. "Call Bruno and tell him that there are foreign terrorists in Mortimer Village, so we need the military's support. It'd be best if he could get some helicopters to come over. Also, tell our men to surround the village. If they don't release the captive, we'll barge in and save her. I don't believe there's anywhere in Harrion that I can't go or anyone I can't save!"

Upon finishing his words, he hung up the call.

Knowing that Greg always meant what he said, Stanley turned pale. Moreover, Greg was someone who feared no one, and he was one of the four most prestigious young masters in Harrion. It was said that he was on good terms with the other three young masters. By offending Greg, it was no different from affronting all the big shots in Harrion.

At the thought of the consequence, Stanley hurriedly said, "Please calm down, Mr. Buckley. Why don't you let me have a discussion with my mother and younger sister first?"
