Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Chapter 964 Push Me and Have a Stroll

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.

Alyssa turned a blind eye to it as she continued to pull him, “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Atwood is all alone. There are three of us, and we will be at an advantage. You go stop Atwood, and I

will make sure Stanford sign this.”

“I don’t want to!” George screamed.

“Are you stupid?” Alyssa was so angry that she was trembling, “George, once you miss this chance,

there will be no second chance. Do you want to accomplish nothing your whole life?”

“Even if I would amount to nothing in my life, I still won’t snatch away what belongs to my brother’s.” He

pushed Alyssa away and pointed at Lindsay, “Let my brother go, or I will kill you!”

Lindsay looked at Alyssa calmly, “Is your son not able to differentiate between friends and foes?”

Alyssa continued to pull on her son, but George didn’t respond to her.

She was very nervous now.

While they were engaging in an argument, Atwood didn’t move at all. Instead, he exchanged a glance

with Stanford.

It had been some time since Stanford came to himself, and his stamina was returning to his former

level. He was secretly trying to break himself from those ropes.

“Lindsay, if you give yourself in now, the punishment will still be very soft.” He purposely spoke to

Lindsay to divert her attention.

“Soft punishment? Atwood, do you think I am a complete fool?” Lindsay chuckled, “Don’t try to deceive

me. I will never believe you, so don’t waste your time.”

Alyssa’s heart was racing on the other hand since the document had not been signed yet. She couldn’t

get anything out of this. She came over and said, “Lindsay, make him sign it now!”

“Get lost!”

Lindsay shouted back at her as she came to realize her precarious position now since things had gone

out of hand and her deeds were exposed. It was impossible for her to escape this whole episode alive

now, and she knew that deep down. The more she understood her situation, the more she hated when

someone tried to bother her.

Her life was on the line here, so she didn’t have time to care about other people’s matters.

Alyssa’s face was fuming red, “Don’t you forget how you got here in the first place. Don’t make me call

the police now!”

“Call the police? Then do it!” Lindsay wasn’t scared at all.

The moment she decided to carry out her revenge, she had thought about the worst case scenario.

“You, you—“ Alyssa was so angry that she was stammering, “Don’t you forget that you were the one

who started this…”

“Are you telling me that you’re not part of it? Don’t you think it’s too late to pull away from all this now?”

Alyssa, “…”

She was rendered speechless.

“Atwood, let me go for once. I promise you that I won’t do anything to harm Stanford.” Lindsay was still

making her last stand.

Atwood smiled, “I don’ think you have a say about that.”

Following his remark, Stanford finally broke free from the ropes and while Lindsay was still talking, he

locked her wrists in place and at the same time, Atwood rushed towards them. Her arm was pinned by

them and the knife was finally taken away.

“Uh—“ Lindsay’s arm was pinned behind her by Atwood, and she was pinned on the ground.

Stanford sliced off all the remaining ropes on his body.

“Let go of me!” Lindsay struggled.

Stanford bent down and propped the knife against Lindsay’s face, and with the slowly increasing force,

blood was visible on her cheeks. He said menacingly, “Lindsay, you are knocking on death’s door.”

Lindsay chuckled, “So what? You end up losing Amanda and your kid anyway.”

Stanford widened his eyes, “You know that?”

Atwood was stunned by those words. What kid was she talking about?

“Lindsay, what did you do?” Atwood pressed on her head hard.

Lindsay broke into a fit of laughter as she looked at Stanford, “Before you divorced, I have known about

that. She was not well one time and I accompanied her to the hospital. Knowing that she had your

child, that’s one of the reasons I must drive her to her death. It was because I was fearful that with the

existence of the child, you would soften and get back together with her. Therefore, she must die! Even

if I die now, I won’t suffer any losses, that’s because your child is collateral damage—“

All of a sudden, a shrilling wail pierced the air.

Stanford had sliced her face.

Alyssa stared at Lindsay who was bathed in blood, and she stumbled to the ground out of shock.

“Kill me if you can!” Lindsay gritted her teeth.

“Of course I will make sure you will die, but I won’t make the whole thing easy for you!” Stanford put the

knife against her other cheek and continued, “You are only good for your face. If I destroyed it now, I

am curious to see what else do you have to offer?”

Atwood stole a glance at Stanford carefully.

It turned out that the reason he wanted Lindsay to die was that he had a child.

Amanda used to be pregnant before.

While he was in a daze, Lindsay suddenly bit his arm and when the grip loosened, she scrambled up

from the ground and ran towards the window, “I won’t give you a chance to trap me in jail!”

She never wanted to be locked up in jail again, and she didn’t want to live a life out of the public’s sight

anymore. She didn’t want to suffer anymore.

She turned to look at Stanford and proclaimed, “Even if I turn into a ghost, I will continue to pester you.

I will make sure you will never be at peace!”

After saying her last words, she leapt out of the window and was gone from sight.

Atwood was fast approaching her but it was too late to grab her.

This was the eighteenth floor, and when he looked down, all he saw was a bleeding corpse. There was

never any other outcome other than death when one jumped from this height! Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Atwood swallowed hard and turned his gaze towards Stanford, “She’s dead. We need to inform the

cops.”

Stanford threw away the knife and mumbled a yes.

“Let me send you back first before dealing with…”

“No need.” Before Atwood could finish his sentence, Stanford cut him off. He looked at George, “Push

me back.”

“Geor—“ Alyssa looked at her son and at this moment, she was gripped by fear. George was having an

internal struggle but in the end, he said, “You can tell everything to the police.”

After saying that, he went to push Stanford out of this place.

Alyssa was dumbfounded, “George James, I am your mother, you know.”

George didn’t respond as he pushed Stanford out of the unit and to the elevator.

When they reached downstairs, a crowd had gathered.

Stanford didn’t look in the direction of the commotion as his gaze was razor-sharp, focusing only on the

space in front of him. Unable to suppress his curiosity, George stole a glance and saw Lindsay’s

unrecognizable body.

It was a frightening sight.

“You push me like this. Let’s have a stroll.” Stanford said.

George agreed to that.

The two of them moved along the streets wordlessly.

George mustered his courage a few times before finally being able to say it out, “I want to apologize to

you on behalf of my mum. I am not trying to buy some sympathy for her. I just want to let you that I’m

sorry.”
