Royce was at his wits‘ end. Bella had suffered a heart attack not long ago and had barely made it through. Now she was this agitated. He was afraid that before they could even rescue Mariela, Bella would be the one collapsing first. 

“Lenny, you can’t do this! Grandma has a heart condition. She can’t handle the stress! If something happens to you, Grandma…” 

Lauryn, seeing that Lennon would not listen, used Bella as leverage. On the surface, she was trying to persuade him, but she was actually using moral blackmail and threatening him. 

After getting Nikolas’s call, Lennon immediately made a rescue plan.

Compared to Deandre, Lennon remained relatively composed. There was guilt in his eyes, but his voice stayed steady.“Deandre, Marie’s life is in danger right now. This is not the time for explanations. I need you to cooperate with me so we can rescue her first. Once she is safe, I -promise I will explain all the things to you.” 

Lennon then laid out his plan for Deandre. 

When Deandre learned that Lennon was willing to risk himself to save Mariela, his expression softened a little. His emotions gradually settled. “Alright. We will do as you say.”
