Time Travel to Become Your Sweetheart novel Chapter 458

"Baron, are you serious?"

Roger was shocked. It was the first time that Baron had not used the tricks. As expected, men would change their minds for their beloved women.

Hazel was very good. But, as a friend of Baron, Roger did not think such a relationship could last long since there was a huge gap between Hazel's and Baron's family backgrounds. Leon was a typical example of failure.

Roger was pessimistic not because he was biased. The prominent families had some restrictions, preventing outsiders from integrating into them.

"Look at Leon, all these years..."

Roger wanted to say something, but he hesitated. It was not the right time to talk about this now.

"Baron is not Leon, and Hazel is not that woman."

Edie retorted. She thought, 'Roger isn't good at speaking. He only cares about the family background. As long as Baron likes Hazel, it's enough. As a friend, I can only support him.'

"Edie, don't misunderstand me."

Roger looked serious. He knew that Hazel was not bad. Roger said those words because Roger hoped that Baron would feel confident to face difficulties.

"My father is gone. That woman has nothing to do with me."

In an instant, Baron looked formidable. His gaze was sharp. He was resolute and somewhat frightening.

That woman was his mother. However, she never was kind to Baron. Since he was five years old, Baron never called her mother again.

"I said those words because I want you to be prepared."

Roger looked serious. At the very least, they should be prepared for the worst. If things became worse, the Floyd Group would go bankrupt. Only the Bird family could save the Floyd Group. At that time, the marriage alliance could help the Floyd Group to unite the Bird family. Hazel would be hurt then.

"It's too early to say that. We will not lose."

Edie looked down on Roger's pessimistic attitude. As long as they worked together, they could come up with an idea to solve the problems.

The Plum Blossom Organization was not a big deal.

"To me, marriage is never for exchanging interests."

Baron gave Roger an affirmative answer and expressed his standpoint.

Baron thought, 'A business marriage alliance? How could I head down the same path as my parents? In the past, I never thought of living together with anyone. Now, I have Hazel. I'm confident that I can make her live a happy life.'

"Edie is right. We will not lose."

Baron opened the document and pushed it to Edie and Roger. There were bloody and horrible photos.

"There was once a reporter who accidentally discovered the underground club and risked his life taking photos. He wanted to make it a big piece of news. However, he was discovered by the Plum Blossom Organization. One day, the whole family of the reporters went on a trip and died in a car accident. No one survived."

The car accident was a common trick of the Plum Blossom Organization because it was not easy to be noticed. The reporter's phone was lost in the car accident. Someone picked it up and handed it over to the police station. Thus, some photos were preserved.

"Cruel, perverted, bloody! I can't find any words to describe it."

Edie wanted to close her eyes, but she persisted. Perhaps, what she was about to face was a club as terrifying as hell.

"They will even torture people to death."

Baron pointed at the pictures, kept a straight face, and explained in a steady tone, "What's more, the club involves in the drugs and arms smuggling. These may be more covert."

Edie covered her mouth. She now had the urge to vomit. Edie could only take a sip of water and suppress the fear.

"Baron, How about this? I'll go there. With her current state, she won't be able to leave once she enters."

Roger looked at Edie's pale face and felt inexplicably uncomfortable. After all, they had grown up together. As a man, Roger could not let a woman go first when they were in danger.

Other than the frequent calls from Elva's assistant, Hazel did not see any unfamiliar numbers.

"Okay."

There were several chatting apps on the phone, mostly shopping and fashion apps. Elva usually browsed the world's famous luxury brands. The messages were a little interesting. She was looking for Bruce's whereabouts and used a secret account to scold Hazel.

"There's an encrypted document. Give it to the Special Affairs Team."

The night wind was very cold. When the cold wind blew, the yellow leaves fell.

Baron took off his coat and draped it over Hazel. He sat on the bench and let Hazel sit on his lap in case she caught a cold.

The moonlight shone on them. Around the moon were dim clouds. There was a light every ten meters or so in the manor. It was very quiet.

Hazel leaned into Baron's arms, smelling the fragrance of flowers. Neither of them spoke. They enjoyed the peace.

With such a beloved by one's side, even if no one said anything, they would be embarrassed.

Was this love?

Hazel did not understand, but her previous feeling toward Bruce was different.

"In the future, no matter what news you hear, do not believe it. If you want to check it, you must first ask me."

Baron grabbed Hazel's hand. Under the moonlight, his eyes were clear and serious. "I don't want you to be sad because of a misunderstanding."

The Bird family hadn't used their despicable means yet. With Wendy's personality, she would definitely use the news of the marriage alliance to sow discord.

"Alright."

Hazel nodded and kept this sentence in mind.
