Love You Like I Used To Forget It (Millie Bridge) novel Chapter 528

Offended, Agatha yelled, "You bitch! You… You…"

She wanted to curse me out and refute what I had said. But maybe because deep down Agatha knew she was in the wrong, she fumbled for words and couldn't think of a single comeback.

William turned to Magnus at that moment and firmly declared, "Mr. Hardwell, I'm willing to do whatever it takes to rescue Irvin. You're his birth father. So, if you want to work with me, I'll cooperate and give it my all.

"However, if you don't want to save him, then I won't say more. After all, I am an outsider. But let me be clear, our cooperation only applies to saving Irvin."

Magnus' expression turned ugly.

The way William had phrased things left no room for negotiation. Magnus knew it was pointless for him to discuss this further. Thus, he dropped the topic and shifted the conversation back to rescuing Irvin.

To Magnus, Irvin didn't have to be the heir. It wasn't because he didn't hold Irvin in regard. It also wasn't because he didn't care if Irvin lived or died. In fact, if it were possible to rescue Irvin, Magnus still very much wanted to do so.

Many Hardwell branch family members were involved in politics. With Magnus' full cooperation, plus William's and my combined efforts from multiple fronts, the plan quickly reached a boiling point—just as William had laid out.

We hadn't yet reached the point where Timothy's entire criminal organization could be destroyed. However, we had already pressured him to the point where he had no choice but to return Irvin, alive.

After listening to his aide's report, Simon massaged his forehead. He had a splitting headache. He really hadn't expected that kidnapping me would bring so much trouble to the criminal organization.

Many powerful forces were now coming at them. If this continued, things could turn very grim for the organization. This thought made Simon urgently rush toward Timothy's office and report the latest news to him.

Timothy let out an incredulous laugh after hearing Simon's report. Just like Simon, he had never imagined that kidnapping me would lead to such a massive fallout.
