Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Chapter 1862

In the end, Susan managed to get Ian out. She used her identity as a Jadeson to get the police to release him.

When they both walked out of the police station, it was drizzling outside. Susan borrowed an umbrella from the police station so they wouldn't get drenched.

When she came near him, however, he strode into the rain without hesitation.

"Ian Hayes, stop right there!" she yelled.

The sight of his back reminded her of the scene yesterday when he walked away from her. Finally, she plucked up her courage to stop him from leaving.

She was afraid the past would repeat itself.

Fortunately, she managed to get him to stop in his tracks this time around.

Susan's eyes turned red instantly. She held the umbrella and ran toward him.

"Ian, I know I went overboard yesterday, but I didn't have a choice. You asked who called me yesterday, right? I'll tell you who it was. It was Mr. Glen, a neighbor of Timothy and me.

He has been our neighbor since we were kids," she explained hastily.

Finally, Ian lowered his gaze to spare her a look.

"He treated us well, so we never suspected him of anything. When my dad died, he told us his real identity. Many years ago, that man sent him to protect us. I was both shocked and disgusted, but there was nothing I could do about it.

Luckily, he didn't force us to do anything against our wishes. He kept an eye on us and protected us within his means. Back when Yasmin tried to harm me, it was Mr. Glen who helped me retaliate. That was why I accepted his presence silently."

She paused to take a deep breath before adding, "However, I forgot that he worked for that man. Yesterday, he called me out of nowhere to inform me to stay away from you. If I insist on staying with you, you and your father will be mocked by everyone. The Jadeson family will also become the laughingstock of the country. What else can I do? I can't let you get hurt nor can I stand idly by and watch as your dad's reputation is torn into shreds. Other than pushing you away, what else can I do?"
