Chapter 441: Chapter 441: I’ll Protect Her for a Lifetime, You Got a Problem With That?

"Boss, the missus has been kidnapped."

Waylon Lewis sprang from his chair upon receiving the call, immediate concern flooding his eyes. Clutching his phone, he was already rushing out of the office. "Where are they now?"

"The missus was kidnapped just after leaving the old residence. They’re heading towards Peace River Bridge, and I’m tailing them."

"Send me the location, and keep close. I’ll be there right away."

"Understood."

"Boss?" Thomas Hughes saw Waylon Lewis dashing towards the elevator and sensed trouble. Dropping what he was doing, he quickly followed.

Xiao Shi quickly sent the location and license plate number to Waylon Lewis.

Glancing at the information, Waylon tossed his phone to Thomas, "Gather everyone and pursue."

Although he didn’t know the magnitude of the situation, Thomas didn’t dare waste any time asking; he immediately did as Waylon had instructed.

At this moment, Hope Williams sat in the car, accompanied by the driver and two imposing men.

Clearly, she was no match for them.

Looking at her hands they had tied up fearing she would play tricks, Hope Williams scoffed with a hint of sarcasm, "Quite a special way to extend an invitation."

The man replied emotionlessly, "We’re just following orders, miss. If you were willing to meet with Elder Lewis, we wouldn’t have to resort to this."

"After all these years, what could be so important that he insists on seeing me?"

Hope Williams couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity. Now twenty-eight, she and her mother were thrown out of the Williams family when she was just three—a full twenty-five years ago. Her mother had passed away; there was nothing left worth seeing.

She still remembered calling the Williams family in desperation when she was eighteen as her mother lay dying, hoping to borrow money for her mother’s treatment. A girl had answered the phone, accusing Hope of being a scammer and stating even if her story was true, the Williams family had cut all ties and wouldn’t give her a penny.

Because she couldn’t raise enough for the surgery and her mother didn’t want to be a burden, refusing further treatment, she passed away soon after. If Old Master Lewis hadn’t found and helped her, perhaps Hope wouldn’t have wanted to live.

Those were the most painful times for Hope Williams.

Thinking back on all the years, being sought out now only elicited laughter.

Hope’s gaze darkened slightly, her voice indifferent, "I don’t want to see him. Let me out of the car."

The driver seemed oblivious.

"Miss, please cooperate," the man next to her said without expression, his warning sharp and cold.

"There’s a car following us," the driver spoke, glancing in the rearview mirror.

The man next to Hope turned to look and ordered, "Lose them."

"Yes..."

"Whoosh--"

As soon as the driver spoke and returned his gaze forward, he saw a black car firmly stopped ahead, its occupants as if they had been waiting for a while.

The driver pressed the brakes in haste.

The car’s occupants lurched forward due to inertia.

"What’s going on?"

"I’ll go check." The driver got out to investigate.

At this moment, the door of the black sedan opened, and Liam Cloud stepped out from the driver’s seat, walking a couple of steps forward.

With a cigarette between his lips, smoke curled around his handsome features, obscuring his expression. He nonchalantly carried a bat on his shoulder, approaching step by step with a menacing aura, like the Grim Reaper personified.

Several other black cars stopped around them, trapping Hope’s car in the middle.

Xiao Shi’s car quickly caught up, and he drew his gun as he exited the vehicle.

Liam Cloud stood before the car, his deep, dark eyes narrowed, a fierce glint shining through.

The man sitting by Hope panicked at the sight, hastily making a call for backup.

Watching the imposing man standing before her, Hope Williams couldn’t help but smile.

It seemed the random call she made in desperation had reached Liam Cloud.

The man next to Hope got out of the car, confronting Liam Cloud, "Who are you?"

"Daring to take someone I’m protecting without checking who you’re dealing with," Liam Cloud retorted.

A chill went down the spine of the kidnappers as they realized they were not dealing with an ordinary adversary.

And with all his people around, they couldn’t afford rash actions.

"Our Elder Lewis just wishes to have Miss Hope Williams over for a chat. Besides, Miss Williams is originally a member of our Williams family. There’s nothing wrong with Elder Lewis wanting to see his granddaughter, so please don’t make this difficult for us," they pleaded.

"An invitation?" Liam Cloud sneered, "You call this inviting?"

The kidnappers exchanged fearful glances with the driver.

Even from inside the car, Hope could feel the murderous aura radiating from Liam Cloud, his seemingly nonchalant voice laced with lethal firmness.

"Had Miss Williams been willing to see Elder Lewis, we wouldn’t have had to resort to such measures."

Their superiors had ordered them to bring Hope to see Elder Lewis by any means, and kidnapping was the simplest, quickest, and most convenient method.

As soon as the man finished speaking, Liam’s expression turned even colder. He planted the bat on the ground, hands resting on top, the casual indifference in his eyes vanishing completely.

"Will you invite her out, or shall I have to beat you to invite her out?" he challenged.

The color drained from the kidnapper’s face, unsure how to proceed.

Fight! Clearly, they were no match for this man.

It was at that moment several more cars quickly halted beside them. Ted Williams arrived hurriedly with his people, his sharp eyes scanning the tense scene and quickly grasping the situation.

"Second Young Master," the man promptly followed Ted, who had brought quite a number of people, matching Liam’s forceful stance with an immediate standoff.

Ted Williams’ icy gaze lingered on the man, "Such a straightforward task of bringing someone over, and you’ve created this mess?"

"Second Young Master, we didn’t expect such a group to suddenly appear; it was my failure," the man bowed his head.

Ted Williams shifted his gaze off the man, addressing Liam Cloud, "Mr. Cloud, nice to see you unharmed."

"Ted. Williams." Liam enunciated each syllable of Ted Williams’ name, his thin lips curving into a profound smirk, "I remember now... It’s you again, you despicable wretch."

Ted’s expression darkened, his disdain for encountering Liam all too evident. He was not only a formidable adversary but also a madman who fought like there was no tomorrow.

Encountering a troublesome person was not terrible. What was terrifying was meeting a madman who was also troublesome.

Liam was notoriously fickle in temper.

Through gritted teeth, Ted managed a smile, "What have I done this time to offend you?"

"Kidnapping my person, and you have the nerve to ask me?"

Ted glanced back at his car, squinting his elongated eyes, "Hope Williams, your person? If I’m not mistaken, she’s Waylon Lewis’s woman, and furthermore, she’s also part of my Williams family. What does she have to do with you?"

"Fuck!"

This string of words clearly infuriated the man, as his normally composed face barely concealed a twitch.

"She’s the one I fancy, and just for that, I’ll protect her for a lifetime. You got a problem with that?"
