* Chapter 556 Xerus)
Chapter 556 âLennon,â Lennon looked up, meeting Deandreâs angry gaze, and whispered, âIf Marie dies, Iâd compensate my life for her.â
They heard these words, Deandre, Haleigh, and Gia were all stunned.
No one expected Lennon to say that.
Not just Deandre and Gia, but even Haylee, who was usually so calm, was shocked.
The son of the Stark family was willing to sacrifice himself for love.
Soon, Deandre came to his senses. He snorted coldly and shouted angrily, âCompensate your life? What good is that? If something happened to Marie, would taking your life bring her back?â
Lennon frowned, pressed his lips together, and stayed silent.
âWell,â Gia hesitated, âMr. Logan, Ms. Logan is still being rescued. It might not be as bad as we think. Sheâs so kind. God will look after her. She will be good.â
As she spoke, Gia got too sad. Her voice choked up, and she couldnât go on.
âYeah, Marie will be okay, Deandre. Donât think the worst right now,â Haleigh gently patted Deandreâs back, trying to comfort him.
Even so, Haleighâs eyes turned red.
Although Marie wasnât her biological daughter, sheâd always treated Marie like one.
After all these years, Marieâs attitude towards her had changed from dislike and rejection to acceptance.
Marieâs career was just starting, and everything was going well.
How could this happen?
She was still so young.
Not long after, the other two partners of the law firm, Bryce and Simon, along with several other lawyers, arrived.
The Garner siblings, Darryl, Fiona, Andrew, and Jessie also came.
The corridor was packed with people, but it was as quiet as death.
Everyone was in a heavy, downâcast mood.
Everyone was silently praying in their hearts, hoping that Mariela would get through this safely.
