Chapter 296 A Chance to Live
Chapter 296 A Chance to Live
Leo's words made Alan and Lane stare.
This brought many memories back to Alan. It was finally time for him to take revenge.
Lane was also terrified, and it hurt like hell when he thought he would live with one arm missed from
now on.
Thud!
He knelt directly and crawled to Elis Burton. With a shivering voice, he begged, "Sir! Please... Please
help me. This is all my fault!"
Elis felt pitiful for him, but given the current situation he was faced with, Elis could only reply coldly,
"There's nothing I can do."
"Of course there is, Sir! Do you really want to see me live with one arm?"
Lane was so frightened that he climbed on Elis's thigh.
He thought Elis was the only one who could help him.
However, Elis kicked him away and yelled, "Get away from me!"
Then, Elis looked at Leo and explained, "This has nothing to do with me. I've fulfilled my duty so far."
He said and turned away with hesitation.
Leo didn't stop him because he understood that Elis was protecting his own interests.
Elis didn't leave because he was afraid of Leo; he was afraid that Leo did have the strength to
challenge him. Leo knew Elis would have him investigated after he left.
Leo was right. As soon as Elis walked out of the J Group, he took out his phone and made a call.
"Investigate Leo Cohen. I wanna know his social background."
His voice was as cold as ice, and there was even a trace of the murderous intention behind it.
He knew the relationship he had struggled to build with the Watts family would end up in vain because
of Leo.
Thinking of all the money and energy he had spent on the line made him furious.
"Leo, if I find out that you're no more than an ordinary person, I swear I'll make your wish you were
dead!" He whispered with a deep voice.
At the same time, in the office of the J Group, there were only Leo, Alan, and Lane.
Lane was no longer as domineering as he had been. His face was as pale as paper, and his body was
shaking out of fear.
After the bodyguards of the Watts family he relied on were driven away, he thought Elis was the only
one that could save him. When Elis finally turned his back at him, he finally realized that he had no way
to escape.
Bang!
Kneeling down and kowtowing to Leo heavily, he said with extreme horror in his voice, "Mr. Cohen, it's
all my fault! Please... don't snap my arm!"
Alan and Justin were so surprised that Lane was kowtowing to save his arm.
However, Leo seemed untouched and said indifferently, "You should've seen your failure when you
reckon with me. Were you with your family when exterminating Alan?"
Lane shuddered, his eyes turning desperate. He wasn't sure if Leo was getting back at him for Alan
before, but now the answer seemed to be quite positive.
He wasn't the only one who had hit Alan when he was down; most of his family had done that, too.
The Watts family had no sympathy for losers. Incompetent family members were treated no better than
their livestock.
"Then that's right."
Leo looked calm. He could read from Alan's reaction that he was right. Leo then said, "An eye for an
eye. Alan will do what you did to him. You're only the one he starts this with."
Lane trembled harder and couldn't stop kowtowing. "Mr. Cohen, please spare my life, please!"
However, Leo responded coldly, "You shouldn’t have kowtowed to me."
Lane immediately understood and turned over to kowtow to Alan.
"Please forgive me, Alan!" Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Eyes turning red, he said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry for what you've been through, and I felt very
guilty for what I've done to you. I had no choice but to do that to you because our family told me to!"
"They would take me as much of a loser like you if I didn't do that to you, and then they would insult
me, too! I had no choice!'
Alan fell silent and feeling struggled to make a decision.
Seeing that, Lane immediately added, "I know you hate us, but you can't blame me for what they did to
you!"
He knelt in front of Alan and wouldn't get up.
"Alan, don't believe him!"
Justin sneered and reminded Alan, "That's how people like him are like. When they bully other people,
they never see this day coming; however, they always beg for mercy shamelessly when it really gets
back at them. What a spineless son of a b*tch!"
Leo agreed with what Justin said, but he didn't let it show. He looked at Alan calmly and said, "I'm just
giving you a chance. How to deal with him is your decision to make."
"Thank you!"
Alan thanked Leo and then started thinking. The past flooded back into his mind.
He remembered how many times he had been bullied and the indifferent faces of the seniors in his
family.
He couldn't find anything warm in it and didn't want to look back to the treacherous past.
He did hate the Watts family because they killed his wife and separated his daughter from him;
however, they had brought him into this world and raised him.
He couldn't possibly forget that.
Thinking of that, he already had an answer.
"Just go."
Alan sighed softly and said the two words.
Lane felt overjoyed and said, "Thank you, cousin, thank you!"
He climbed up in a hurry immediately and left in fluster.
"Alan, are you stupid?"
Justin hated Alan for being so indecisive. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be so soft-hearted! Aren't
you afraid that he'll get back at you next time?"
"I'm not afraid."
Alan shook his head, then looked at Leo with a guilty face, "I'm sorry, Mr. Cohen. I've let you done!"
Leo shook his head and didn't seem to care at all. "You need to apologize. I said I'd let you deal with
him."
"Thank you, Mr. Cohen!"
Alan bowed again. He was worried that Leo would be angry at him for letting Lane go.
"From now on, you are the president of the J Group. You'll take over all the business."
Leo gave his order.
"Okay!"
Alan responded quickly. He knew Leo didn't want to show in front of the public. Moreover, Leo's family
were all at Emerdale, so he couldn't work here as the president of the J Group.
Leo nodded with satisfaction and then walked out of the office. Then he said, "Let go to see your
daughter."
...
At the same time, Lane's panic face turned fierce as he walked out of the J Group.
"Alan, Leo, this isn't over yet! I'll make regret it!"
