The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 1982

"Let me go!"

Esmeralda struggled violently, but she couldn't break free from the shackles of Rafferty. She could only be dragged out forcefully. None of the surrounding servants dared to make a sound when they saw him. They even pretended to turn a blind eye to him doing other things.

If Serena had been present, she could have saved his daughter. Unfortunately, Serena had been sent out by Amor to do other things. There was no one in the entire Laurent family's old house who could help Esmeralda.

Esmeralda was on the verge of collapse, but she couldn't do anything. Just like when she was thirteen, everything seemed to have returned to the beginning.

Rafferty tugged at her hair and dragged Esmeralda into the

car. Esmeralda knew that her life had been ruined the moment she got into the car.

"You will get your retribution!"

Esmeralda glared at the eldest son of the Laurent family with resentment. She wanted nothing more than to tear him to shreds with her eyes. However, she knew that she was no match for the man in front of her, be it in terms of physical strength or skill.

She suddenly remembered that her mobile phone was still on her body, so she quickly took out her mobile phone and wanted to call for help.

Rafferty grabbed the phone, threw it out of the window, and started the car again.

His series of actions were seen by the old housekeeper.

The old butler's brows furrowed slightly as he subconsciously looked at Amor.

"Sir, he took Miss away."

Amor's eyes were dark and unclear. No one knew what he was thinking.

After a long while, Amor slowly opened his mouth.

"Call Anne."

The old butler was stunned by Amor's words.

"Sir, did you say something wrong?"

"No. just call Anne."

This time, Amor's voice was particularly loud.

The old housekeeper didn't know what was going on, but he didn't refute it. He picked up the phone and called Anne immediately.

"Miss Anne, the Esmeralda has been taken away by Rafferty."

Evangeline was slightly taken aback. She asked in disbelief, "What did you say? Who took Esme away?"

"Rafferty, they might be heading to his villa or other mansions."

The old butler quickly sent the address of Rafferty to Evangeline.

Looking at the address in her hand, Evangeline was lost in thought.

What was going on with this old butler?

At this time, Zion had not woken up yet, so no one gave Evangeline a reference.

Since the old butler was able to call her, why didn't he stop Rafferty from taking Esmeralda away?

This was not only a question for Evangeline, but also for the old housekeeper.

The old butler put down the phone and looked at Amor. Although he didn't say anything, Amor still knew what he wanted to ask.

"Do you think I'm cold-blooded?"

Amor laughed coldly, but there was a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth.

"Sir, do you have any plans?"

The old butler had followed Amor for many years, so he naturally knew that he didn't do anything useless. He could have stopped Amor, but he had let him take Esmeralda away.

Amor came to the window and frowned as he looked at the sunlight outside.

"Esme is not my daughter."

After a long while, Amor finally opened his mouth to speak, but his words gave the old butler a fright.

Over the years, everyone had seen how much Amor doted on Esmeralda. They all thought that Amor spoiled her so much because he finally had a daughter. But he did not expect that she was not his daughter.

After saying these words, Amor seemed to be 10 years older. He whispered, "Serena fooled around with another man behind my back, and she had Esme. At that time, I actually wanted to kill her and the child in her belly. But later, I learned that the man was Serena's childhood sweetheart. You

should be more clear about how Serena ended up with me. It was because her family was going down and needed a powerful person to support, so she sacrificed herself. In fact, the person she loved was not me at all. But I don't care. I really like her."

At this point, Amor let out a long sigh.

The old butler understood Amor. He was even more aware of the amount of money that Amor had spent to pursue Serena. Now that Amor had said so, the old butler's heart ached for Amor.

"You've doted on Miss for so many years, so that means you've already treated Madam

well enough."

"It's a pity that humans are greedy. Serena has been trying to get involved in the affairs of the family over the years, and even wanted to take over the country. I can't tolerate this."

Amor's words suddenly changed, and the darkness inside turned cold.

The old butler immediately understood.

"Sir, are you going to use Rafferty to pin down Miss and make Madam surrender?"

"Perhaps that's what I thought before. I know his character. He wouldn't be able to move when he saw a beautiful girl, especially with Esme's background. After he accidentally learned of it, he had an abnormal possession of Esme. I also know very well what happened to Esme when she was thirteen. That bastard almost forced her to marry him, and I almost broke his leg afterward. But I know that the more he can't get her, the more obsessed he is. This time, I originally planned to let him go far away and live in peace for the rest of his life. Unfortunately, he didn't cherish his life."

Amor sighed once more, but there was already a hint of dejection in his tone.

"Klaus is too young. Although his current strength is great and he can also be the spokesperson of the Laurent family, his brothers and sisters will definitely not be convinced. Now that Esme and Anne have a better relationship, if she can save her, both Esme and Serena will remember this friendship wholeheartedly. It will be much more convenient for you to return to the Laurent family."

The old butler immediately understood. What Amor had done was to pave the way for Klaus.

However, his eldest son's life had to be paid for on this road.

The old butler suddenly felt sorry for Amor. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Sir, Mr. Klaus is actually a man of means. Even if you don't do this, he may still be able to sit firmly in the position."

"That's right, but I have to do something for this son. After all, Rafferty almost killed him not long ago."

Speaking of this, Amor couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"Have you checked the poison brought by him? Where did it come from? The drug is so strong, yet it was brought to the market."

Upon hearing Amor's question, the old butler hurriedly said, "We're still investigating, but we haven't found any clues. It shouldn't be something on the market. It might have something to do with the black market. However, I heard about this. The poison that that person poisoned Klaus was similar. He was able to remain safe and sound, I'm afraid we don't know what's inside."

The old butler's words stunned Amor once again.

"A similar poison? Klaus is actually fine?"

"Yes, so should I check the people around Klaus?”

The old steward volunteered on his own accord. This time, Amor didn't refute him, but there was more or less a hint of contemplation in his eyes.
