Chapter 425 Lennon had just returned to the Starkâs house when Laurynâs car pulled into the underground parking lot.
They entered the house one after the other.
In the firstâfloor living room, Bella, Royce, and Rayne were seated on the sofa, waiting for them.
Menu Lennon walked in hastily and got straight to the point.âThe one who called the police was Marieâs friend. She could not get in touch with Marie and was worried something had happened. The police only contacted the Logan family to confirm whether Marie was actually missing. As of now, they donât know she was kidnapped by Nikolas. Besides, it has only been a few hours since she went missing, so the police will not file a case for now.â
His expression was grim, and his deep eyes were cold and sharp.
âNikolas just called me. He wants me to go alone...â
âNo way! Lenny, you canât go alone!â Before Lennon could finish, Lauryn cut him off.
Ever since Lauryn found out that Mariela had been kidnapped by Nikolas, she had been in a great mood. She was even humming a little tune on the way back.
à½à½ºà¼ འBut the moment she heard that Lennon planned to go alone to save Mariela, her good mood vanished instantly.
Laurynâs expression changed. She was visibly tense. âNikolas definitely will not let you go. It is too dangerous for you to go alone! We should call the police and have them go with you!â
Lennon frowned. His voice was firm.âNo. We canât involve the police. If Nikolas finds out we called them, he will kill Marie immediately.â âBut her friend had called the police! They already know she is missing,â Lauryn argued.
Lennon replied, âLike I just said, the police do not know she was kidnapped. As long as we coordinate with the Logan family and tell the police weâve found her, there wonât be a problem. Then we can come up with a plan to rescue Marie ourselves.â
Royce asked, âWhat do you plan to do?â
Lennonâs face was unwavering.âNikolas is after me. I will trade myself for her.â
âYou are out of your mind!â Royce exclaimed.
âNo way!â Lauryn cried.
âAbsolutely no!â Bella said.
The three of them objected at the same time.
Rayneâs expression was grave as she looked at Lennon. âIs there no other way?â
âI have to go,â Lennon said in a tone that left no room for argument.
Lauryn was anxious. âBut if you trade yourself for her, thatâs not worth it! How can Marielaâs life compare to yours?â
