A Mysterious Man

Chapter 142: Waiting for an Answer

Kevin sits there and watches his wife step forward bravely for him. His brother has already arrived. He

is so relaxed that he can’t help but want to have a glass of red wine.

“Jonathan, I suggest you go to the police station and admit your crime. You can tell your miserable life

in court. You may get a lenient sentence if the judge is touched by you.”

Jonathan isn’t anxious either and pinches his hand casually. He doesn’t stop Sunny when he sees her

slowly retreat, as if he knows that they can’t leave today.

“I’m fine. At the worst, we will perish together.”

After hearing his words ‘perish together’, Sunny’s expression changes. She glances at Kevin who is not

far away.

She thinks of that even if she really dies here, it seems to be fine except for Macie, who has no one to

take care of her.

Thus, she is no longer afraid. She calmly smiles and says, “It’s fine.”

The person who goes out to investigate hasn’t come back yet. Seeing this, Jonathan can’t care that

much. At some point, a remote control appears in his hand. He says with a cruel smile, “If I pressed this

button, you would all die miserably here. The police might not even be able to find your bodies, just like

the fire that happened back then. If it weren’t for Bella, Kevin, you would have died a long time ago.”

After hearing this, Kevin’s expression changes, “What did you say?”

“The fire. What a pity. I have planned to burn you in that fire. I lied to you. I didn’t expect that you’re still

so easy to cheat at this age.”

Hearing this, Sunny looks at Kevin worriedly. Seeing that he looks well, she heaves a sigh of relief.

“And did you remember that time when you fainted?. Do you really think it was an accident? You were

plotted by me. I tried my best to kill you. But you were such a lucky fool lucky fool that there always was

someone who saved you.”

As he speaks, Jonathan laughs, “But this time, let me see who will save you.”

Speaking that, Jonathan presses the button on the remote control in his hand. Kevin sees his

movement and subconsciously pounces towards Sunny. He pulls her into his arms and hugged her

tightly.

However, the expected explosion does not come.

Kevin hugs Sunny and finishes saying all the corny words he wants to say. He closes his eyes and

waits for a long time. But he still doesn’t hear the explosion.

Jonathan looks at the remote control in his hand and is somewhat panicked. “What happened? How

could this happen?”

At this time, a voice comes from the side, “Are you looking for this?”

Jonathan subconsciously looks over and discovers that Ellison, who is standing not far away, is holding

the time bomb that he has thought will explode.

“Jonathan, I really didn’t expect you to be the most secretive.”

Ellison says as he walks down the stairs, “If it weren’t for Kevin sending me a message, I would have

been tricked by you.”

When Jonathan sees the time bomb in Ellison’s hand, his face turns ashen.

Anyway, He is most afraid of Ellison.

It is Ellison who rescued him from the fire back then. So, he owes him a favor forever.

“Shut up. If it weren’t for you, I would have killed Kevin long ago. If I had killed him, you wouldn’t have

regretted it for so many years.”

Jonathan seems to be in a rage and even accidentally says what happened back then.

After hearing these words, Kevin’s expression becomes hard to read.

“I regretted it? The thing I regret the most is that I saved you back then. If I didn’t save you, I wouldn’t

have cherished a snake in my bosom.”

Ellison is also very angry. When he rescued Jonathan from fire, he really treated him as a friend.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have told him so much.

However, Kevin, who is at the side, begins to ask, “Ellison, what does he mean by those words?”

Ellison suddenly feels a headache.

“Don’t listen to him. He’s trying to alienate us. Listen to me, let’s settle this matter first. Then, I’ll explain

it to you.”

Kevin closes his mouth sullenly. But Jonathan says, “What’s the hurry? If you want to know, I’ll tell you.

Do you know how your parents died back then? It’s really pitiful.”

The veins on Ellison’s head almost stand out, “Shut up.”

“Ellison, let him continue.”

Sunny can do nothing but only gently pat Kevin to comfort him.

Kevin grabs Sunny’s hand and pinches it.

“Back then, your brother acted recklessly and thought that he was extraordinary. He insisted on fighting

the enemy alone. But unexpectedly, his enemy didn’t come alone and brought a group of people to

ambush him. Therefore, when he was in trouble, your parents could only come to save him.”

After hearing this, Kevin falls silent. Because the story is different from what he has heard.

“Ellison, is what he said true?”

He looks at Ellison, waiting for an answer.

However, Ellison just remains silent, not saying one word.

Kevin closes his eyes and says, “I see. Ellison, let’s deal with him first.”

After hearing the last sentence, Ellison widens his eyes. He has thought that Kevin will blame him and

even will come over and fight with him.

Seeing that his attempt to sow discord does not succeed, Jonathan has to call his men to protect him.

However, his subordinates do not show up. At this moment, another voice comes out.

“Are you looking for your subordinates?”

Kevin and Roger lean together vigilantly when they hear this voice. Kevin’s hand is still pulling Sunny.

It is Robin.

“Why are you all so nervous?”

Robin spreads out his hands and says, “I am on your side.”

However, no one believes him, except Sunny.

“You’re the one who attacks my men...”

Jonathan suddenly understands as he says halfway through his words. This person, who has

pretended to take refuge in him and join hands with him to destroy the Hawkins family, betrays him

now.

“Guys, catch him.”

Ellison calls in all his subordinates who are waiting quietly outside and captures this defenseless

Jonathan.

“I have called the police. The police should be here soon.”

Robin slowly walks down and looks at Jonathan who is subdued. “By the way, thank you for helping me

solve the stumbling block of the Hawkins family.”

Jonathan is bound by someone and cannot move. So, he can only spit at Robin, “You bastard, are you

worthy?”

“Am I not worthy? Anyway, I am the winner.”

As they speak, a siren sounds upstairs. Everyone knows that the police are here.

At this time, it is Roger’s turn to deal with it. He majored in law abroad.

The other people, especially Ellison’s men, have disappeared the moment the police come here.

Kevin also glances at Ellison. Then, he puts his arm around Sunny and leaves first.

But with that gaze, Ellison understands that his younger brother may have to spend some time

accepting him.

“Then, it seems that I’d better leave as well.”

Robin looks at the movements of the surrounding people and turns around.

Kevin puts his arm around Sunny and walks along the long and dark road without saying a word.

However, Sunny can feel his body trembling slightly, and his hand holding her is also slightly unstable.

...

Sunny sighs and stops. She reaches out and hugs Kevin, “Cry if you want to.”

Hearing those simple but comforting words, Kevin can’t help but cry as he hugs Sunny.

He knew that his parents were dead since he was a little kid. So, he really experienced a very difficult Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

period.

At that time in America, he had a hard time succeeding. Until then, his grandfather could not help them.

He relied solely on Ellison to get food.

So, he can’t really hate Ellison. When Jonathan was talking about that just now, Kevin just remembered

that Ellison held food with limping and scars on his face and said to him, “Kevin, eat.”

For a moment, he almost sheds tears.

However, there were a lot of people present at that time. So, he was really embarrassed to cry.

Now he is in the arms of Sunny, and his tears are streaming fast.

“Alright. Everything will be fine. It’s gonna be OK.”

After feeling that Kevin almost calms down, Sunny pats his back and comforts him.

“Yeah. Let’s go.”

Kevin gradually calms down and suddenly feels that he has lost all face today. He actually cries in front

of his wife.

“You are very real like this, Kevin.”

Sunny smiles and touches Kevin’s head, “Stop crying. Let’s invite Ellison tomorrow for dinner.”

Kevin does not say anything, but Sunny knows that his answer is ‘yes’.

Everything seems to have come to an end. They all return to respective posts.

Sunny continues to go to the hospital to work. But she has to guard against Robin, who will

occasionally visit her with a bunch of flowers.

Kevin also returns to the company and does what he should do. He continues to instruct Hogan to do

everything. Then, he will play hooky from work to visit his wife and play with his daughter.

Ellison returns home as well. He and Kelly raise their children peacefully. He carefully selects a right-

hand man for the matters in the gang, and then plans to gradually retire.

The relationship between Troy and Baron gradually stabilizes. They have planned for several days and

adopted a child from a welfare institution.

“It’s good for you guys to be like this. You are leading a happy life.”

Macie’s attention changes again, from ‘Little Sister’ of Michelle’s family to ‘Little Brother’ of the

godfather’s family next door.

Because she has said that she wanted to invite Ellison for dinner last time. As soon as she gets off

work today, Sunny goes to the supermarket to pick up some fresh ingredients.
