Don't Try to Escape, My Wife!

Chapter 1649 At Worst We Die Together

“Grandpa, are you going to do something?”

Lucas held Xander’s hand.

That soft little hand and worried eyes instantly warmed Xander’s frozen heart. If Nicole had grown up

around him, she would probably be like this too.

In fact, Lucas was quite like Nicole.

Xander stroked Lucas’s head and said gently, “Don’t worry about grown-up stuff. Be good. Grandpa is

still waiting for you to bring Mr. Morty to my rescue.”

Hearing this, Lucas’s heart was troubled, but he nodded quickly.

“Grandpa, you must wait for me to come back.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

Xander looked at Lucas with fondness and kindness in his eyes.

Lucas turned around and ran without any hesitation.

He knew there was a phone booth near here, and he had to notify Morty to come immediately. Lucas

now had no communication tools as his mobile phone had been handed over on the way out.

He had always felt that he didn’t need a mobile phone, but now he realised that he was wrong.

As Xander watched Lucas leave, he couldn’t withdraw his gaze for a long time.

This was his grandson, and he had his blood in him!

He would definitely make a name for himself in the military in the future!

Xander said in a low voice, “Barge all the way into the basement below.”

“Yes.”

The few people moved quickly.

Those guards were simply no match for Xander’s men.

Xander walked in as quickly as if he had entered his own place.

He went inside in a familiar way, found the switch in the study and led the men straight into the

basement.

No one knew that the Shaffer family’s training ground actually had such a basement, and the scene

inside the basement was unsettling.

It was like a second Elvis’s research base, with animal and human limbs and skeletons everywhere.

Xander and the others furrowed their brows tightly.

They had been staying with this smell for decades. It was engraved in their memories, giving them the

chills down their spines.

How many days and nights they had gone through that were worse than death.

Now seeing that there were still people working on this, Xander’s eyes suddenly went red.

“Destroy everything here!”

Seeing all this, Xander was even more sure that Eaton had been kidnapped and brought here.

“Find Eaton at all costs and bring him out safely!”

“Yes!”

Everyone spread out quickly.

Xander took the brunt of the search, going from room to room, but still couldn’t find Eaton. Instead, he

found Cara, who was dying already.

He knew about Cara. Since he returned, he had investigated everyone around Nicole, including Cara.

On his way here, Xander had investigated all the things that had happened to Nicole during this period.

And it was only then he found out about the affair between Cara and Laurence.

He was unsure that Cara would work for the Close family and hurt Laurence. But the fact confused him.

He was surprised to find Cara here. But thinking of Nicole’s attitude towards Cara, he quickly had

someone send Cara out.

The few people smashed and burned everything in the Shaffer family’s research base. The thick smoke

rose instantly, drawing the attention of passers-by. Some even took out their phones to take videos and

upload them online.

The head of the Shaffer family, Cody Shaffer, went ballistic after he was informed about this.

“What’s going on? Why is there thick smoke at the training ground? Quick! Hurry up and send

someone over to deal with it!”

Compared to the Shaffer family’s panic, Mr. Morty was confused but still rushed over quickly with his

men.

“What’s going on?”

Mr. Morty’s appearance took the Shaffer family by surprise.

“Mr. Morty, what’s bring you here? There’s some sort of accident here and I’ll take care of it right away.”

Cody Shaffer usually didn’t respect Mr. Morty, but he was apparently a bit nervous today and didn’t

want Mr. Morty to interfere.

Mr. Morty said icily, “Mr. Shaffer, the Capital City’s security is a great responsibility and I’m in charge of

it now. If I don’t come over to take a look, what if there’s really a fire or something? I can’t afford to take

the blame for it. Don’t you think so?”

He then said to the people behind him, “Go in and help put out the fire!”

“No! You can’t go in!”

Cody Shaffer immediately panicked.

Once the contents inside were discovered, it would be the end of the Shaffer family.

“Mr. Morty, this is our private land. It’s not appropriate for you to do so, is it?”

“All land in the Capital City belongs to the country. I don’t understand what you’re saying about that.

What are you guys waiting for? Go in and put out the fire!”

Mr. Morty gave an order, and the soldiers behind him immediately rushed inside.

Cody Shaffer frowned and said coldly, “Mr. Morty, are you really going to tip your face off with the

Shaffer family now that the election is imminent? You know how many people are working under our

family? Don’t you have a way out for yourself?”

“What way out does Mr. Morty need? He is the heir in name only, and his dedication over the years is

notable. I don’t think Mr. Morty needs to canvass for votes to be in that position.”

Cody Shaffer was dumbfounded when Xander came out.

“Why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be in Country F?”

To Cody Shaffer’s attitude, Xander said coldly, “I think it’s none of your business that where should I

be.”

“Mr. Morty, a person was rescued from below. It’s Cara and her current situation is very bad. I hope Mr.

Morty can give a helping hand.”

Xander brought Cara out. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Mr. Morty frowned instantly.

He knew Cara’s identity, and even more so what had happened recently. Cara was related to the Close

family. Now that she was found in Cody Shaffer’s training ground, things were going interesting.

Mr. Morty happened to be unsure of how to have a falling-out with the Shaffer family, and Xander’s

move had undoubtedly given Mr. Morty a good chance.

“Mr. Shaffer, shouldn’t you explain why Cara is in your place?”

Cody Shaffer was chagrined but still said coldly, “How would I know? Who is this person?”

“You don’t know who she is and yet appeared at your training ground. It seems that I’m bound to go in

and have a look. Someone please send Cara to Blair for medical treatment, and no one is allowed to

go near her without my orders. The others follow me in to see what’s really in Mr. Shaffer’s training

ground.”

“Yes!”

Mr. Morty forced his way in, and Cody Shaffer couldn’t even stop him. He glared fiercely at Xander and

said in a voice that only the two could hear, “As long as you help me stop Mr. Morty from going in, I’ll let

you see Eaton!”

Xander narrowed his eyes fiercely.

Sure enough!

Xander’s piercing stare at Cody Shaffer scared him into subconsciously taking a step back.

“Xander, you better think clearly. If you don’t help me now, I guarantee that you and your daughter will

never see Eaton again in your life! I’ll do what I say! At worst, we die together!”

Cody Shaffer noticed that he was falling back under the Xander’s sight and couldn’t help but feel angry,

speaking viciously.
