Chapter 555 Lennonâs dark eyes were deep. Sadness welled up in them. âBecause of me?
âIâm sorry,â Lennon said in a low voice.âBefore the prime ministerial election in Italy, I prepared everything I flew to Italy myself to deal with Nikolas. The plan was perfect, but there was a traitor among my people. They tipped off Nikolas. He found a scapegoat to stay in Italy, while he changed his appearance and escaped through an underground passage.
âMy people, along with the Italian government, wiped out Nikolasâs power in Italy. We thought he was dead, and Marie wouldnât be in danger from him anymore. So I got close to Marie again.
âNikolasâs finished. His armed forces are either dead or surrendered. Heâs got no chance of making a comeback. This time, heâs at the end of the line. He came back to America to get revenge on me and wanted to die with me. The two thugs who hurt Marie were his subordinates who escaped with him. He told them to kill Marie, while Nikolas brought people to deal with me.â
After Lennon finished, Deandre noticed that Lennon was hurt too.
He was wearing a black shirt, and it wasnât easy to see the blood splattered on it.
Blood was dripping onto the back of his hand. The bright red blood stood out against his fair skin, making a strong contrast.
Gia noticed too.
She didnât get all the talk about Nikolas and the Italian forces, but she knew the thugs who attacked them werenât ordinary. No wonder they had guns.
âMr. Stark, youâre hurt. Go see a doctor and get it taken care of,â Gia said, startled when she saw Lennonâs bloody hands.
Lennon shook his head. âIâm staying here with Marie.â
âLennon.â Deandreâs eyes were bloodshot, and he glared at Lennon. Every word came out full of resentment, like it was squeezed out between his teeth.
âIf Marie canât...â Deandre said with difficulty.
Deandre paused, then gritted his teeth and said, âEven if I have to lose everything, Iâll make your Stark family pay!â
âNikolasâs been taken away by the police,â Lennon said, looking down.âThis time, he really canât get away.â
