My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 452
452: Rescued 452: Rescued By the time Xavier, together with Anastasia and his team had arrived at Mr.
Harrison’s mansion, the night had already settled in. Fortunately, the old man wasn’t careful enough.
They’d managed to tail him all the way back to his mansion without being detected.
“This shouldn’t take long, right?” Kace muttered, cocking his gun as he glanced at his wristwatch.
“I’ve got a midnight date with Allison, and if I keep her waiting, I’ll be sleeping on the couch for a week.” “Not at all,” Xavier replied, checking the gate of the mansion.
There were no security guards stationed to watch over it, which could only mean that the old man wasn’t expecting their company.
“Thalia should be inside.” “I’ve tried calling her but she’s not responding.
Her number is going through though,” Anastasia chimed in. Her blood was boiling with rage.
Thalia was the only real family she had from the Harrison family and she wouldn’t want anything to happen to her. “Well, what are we waiting for?” Kace questioned, glancing between the couple.
“Let’s go in.” Inside the mansion… Thalia was glaring at her father without bothering to hide it.
He was seated on the living room couch, legs crossed, as if he didn’t just kidnap her a few hours ago. He didn’t find it wrong, since he explained that she was his daughter.
More like his property he could treat it however he wanted. Opposite her father was a man who was just as old as her father, probably even older with a face full of white beard, a belly so big one would think he gobbled down an entire city. He was seated on the couch, his gaze landing lazily on Thalia once in a while as he licked his lips. The sight made her shift back into the couch, her skin crawling from disgust. “I’m sorry we had to keep you waiting, Mr.
Sterling.
We had a minor problem earlier, but it’s fixed now,” her father apologized, a smile on his lips. It didn’t take Thalia two brains to realize that was the man her father had arranged for her to marry.
He looked unfamiliar, but his presence definitely wasn’t ordinary.
There were also men clad in black suits carrying weapons surrounded in their living room. “That’s no problem.
This is the marriage contract.
We can start with this first, and have the wedding ceremony later,” said the man, his gaze still fixed on Thalia like she was dinner he was about to have later. “That wouldn’t be a problem at all,” Mr.
Harrison responded.
He shifted the document to Thalia, his gaze stern.
“Sign it.” Thalia scoffed.
He didn’t give her any explanation as to why he wanted her to get married to a withering man all of a sudden. “Just sign it.
I’ll explain everything later-” Before he could finish his words, they heard gunshots from outside. Mr.
Sterling instantly became alert and ordered his men to go check it out.
But before they could step out of the living room, a bunch of men had already stepped inside, surrounding them. Thalia’s shoulders sagged in relief when she saw Anastasia and Xavier, a smile blooming on her lips. While her father and the so-called arranged husband were watching them with shock written all over their faces, she immediately ran towards Anastasia who hugged her tightly. “Did he hurt you?” Anastasia questioned, scanning Thalia who shook her head. “Just a bruise on my arm but I’m good,” she responded. Xavier’s gaze landed on Mr.
Sterling with heavy contempt. He’d managed to dig into Mr.
Harrison’s problem that morning knowing fully well a father wouldn’t sell his daughter off just like that. Mr.
Harrison wasn’t a wealthy man like his dead brother, Robert.
Unfortunately for him, his business wasn’t getting new investors, and the current ones threatened to pull out if he didn’t make new decisions that required lots of capital. Mr.
Sterling was one of the investors who offered to help him, but under one condition which was to marry his daughter. Apparently, the man had been monitoring Thalia for a while already. “Thalia, come back here and sign this marriage contract!!” “She’s not signing anything,” Xavier responded.
He’d met Robert and knew how rotten-minded the man was, but he didn’t think that bad blood ran in the family. “I think you should mind your business, Mr.
Wallace.” Kace scoffed. “Sorry to interrupt but I have a dinner date with my girlfriend and if I don’t meet up with her on time, she’s going to make me sleep on the couch.
So if you don’t mind…” Without giving them a chance to process what he’d just said, Kace shot Mr.
Sterling in the leg and the man cried in pain. His bodyguards were about to interfere but with the guns pointed at their heads by Xavier’s men and the fact that they were already surrounded, they couldn’t afford to risk losing their lives. “We’ve already called the police to come pick you up since you have your hands deep into some dirty business,” Kace said as he picked him up from the floor.
“And you…” He faced Mr.
Harrison.
“I think I should just let Xavier deal with you.
I don’t have much time to spend here.” With that, Kace took the old man outside where the police had already arrived and waited. Since Mr.
Harrison couldn’t be charged with any criminal offence, he was left with a restraining order to never step closer to Thalia ever again. The bodyguards were also packed, leaving the house empty. Thalia’s relationship with her father might have been ruined, but if her father could so mindlessly sell her off to a sleazy old man, it was best to stay far away from him. However, Thalia would stay with Anastasia and Xavier until she found her own place. When they arrived home that night, Xavier suddenly received a call from his mother. He frowned slightly when he saw the call. He exchanged a look with Anastasia before he responded. “He’s awake.”
