Love You Like I Used To Forget It (Millie Bridge) novel Chapter 584

Agatha tried to use the Hardwells' power and influence to pressure the officers.

But before Officer Lawson could say a word, Magnus stormed in and barked, "Shut your mouth!"

He strode over in large, heavy steps. Grabbing Agatha by the arm, he yanked her to his side. Then, in a voice low enough only for her to hear, he growled, "Do you even know what you're saying? Are you trying to drag the entire Hardwell family down with you? He committed unforgivable crimes!"

Magnus wasn't about to use the Hardwells' influence or network to protect Timothy. Even if he wanted to, there wasn't a single person willing to risk their future, compromise their beliefs, or ruin their name to save a criminal like Timothy.

Agatha didn't believe any of that noble-sounding nonsense. She was sure Magnus was doing this to get back at them for taking control of the company. That was why he refused to help Timothy.

She felt like screaming. She wanted to point a finger right in his face, curse him out, call him heartless, call him a failure as a father. However, she held it in, knowing this wasn't the time.

Right now, all that mattered was saving Timothy.

So instead, she just went straight for the jugular. "Magnus," she said coldly, "if anything happens to Tim, you're going down with him. Don't forget that Tim holds 55% of Hardwell Group's shares. If he's convicted, the whole company goes down with him!"

If Timothy got convicted, with the severity of his crimes, he'd have all his assets seized. That would mean the collapse of Hardwell Group.

"That's none of your concern," Magnus replied flatly.

He already knew the consequences. And he'd made all the necessary preparations long ago. That was the only reason he'd agreed to work with Irvin to bring Timothy down.

Otherwise, with Timothy's instincts and how well-connected he was, there was no way he could've been caught off guard like this.
