Chapter 556 

“Lennon,” Lennon looked up, meeting Deandre’s angry gaze, and whispered, “If Marie dies, I’d compensate my life for her.” 

They heard these words, 

Deandre, Haleigh, and Gia were all stunned. 

No one expected Lennon to say that. 

Not just Deandre and Gia, but even Haylee, who was usually so calm, was shocked. 

The son of the Stark family was willing to sacrifice himself for love. 

Soon, Deandre came to his senses. He snorted coldly and shouted angrily, “Compensate your life? What good is that? If something happened to Marie, would taking your life bring her back?” 

Lennon frowned, pressed his lips together, and stayed silent. 

“Well,” Gia hesitated, “Mr. Logan, Ms. Logan is still being rescued. It might not be as bad as we think. She’s so kind. God will look after her. She will be good.” 

As she spoke, Gia got too sad. Her voice choked 

up, 

and she couldn’t go on. 

“Yeah, Marie will be okay, Deandre. Don’t think the worst right now,” Haleigh gently patted Deandre’s back, trying to comfort him. 

Even so, Haleigh’s eyes turned red. 

Although Marie wasn’t her biological daughter, she’d always treated Marie like one. 

After all these years, Marie’s attitude towards her had changed from dislike and rejection to acceptance. 

Marie’s career was just starting, and everything was going well. 

How could this happen? 

She was still so young. 

Not long after, the other two partners of the law firm, Bryce and Simon, along with several other lawyers, arrived. 

The Garner siblings, Darryl, Fiona, Andrew, and Jessie also came. 

The corridor was packed with people, but it was as quiet as death. 

Everyone was in a heavy, down–cast mood. 

Everyone was silently praying in their hearts, hoping that Mariela would get through this safely.
