No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother-Chapter 483 - 481: Don’t Hurt Her [13 More Updates]
At this moment, Arthur River finally answered the phone.
As soon as the call connected, Aron Hanson cut straight to the chase and asked, "Arthur, you kidnapped Maya."
"Young master, you don’t need to worry about this. Rest assured, I will certainly save you." The man’s confidence was firm, as if he had already decided to sacrifice his life for Aron Hanson.
Seeing that the man didn’t deny it, Aron Hanson took a deep breath and said, "Arthur, I did indeed kill the person. On the day of the car accident, I also made calls to those two drivers, so I can’t escape this."
"Young master, did you really have Ethan Turner killed?" Clearly, Arthur River was very surprised.
Regarding this matter, he had tried to persuade Aron Hanson numerous times not to get blood on his hands, otherwise, it would be too late for regret.
"Yes, because you kept opposing me, I didn’t tell you." Aron Hanson continued to fabricate lies.
On the other end of the phone, the man was stunned for a moment and swore, "Young master, don’t worry, even if you really did this, I will save you. I will have Mr. Liam send you away."
"Thank you, Arthur, I never expected that in the end, you were always helping me."
The reason Aron Hanson didn’t persuade Arthur to release Maya was because they both knew Arthur was already consumed by madness. If Aron tried to persuade him to release Maya, Arthur would certainly think that Liam was threatening him, forcing him to say so. In such a scenario, the one who would suffer would only be Maya.
Listening to Aron’s gratitude, the man felt indescribable inside; he hadn’t expected that in the end, Aron still wouldn’t take his advice.
Nevertheless, he still needed to get Aron out; he couldn’t let him stay in jail for life, nor could he let the Hanson Clan fall into Maya’s hands.
If only she hadn’t had unclear relations with Liam; if only she hadn’t wanted to be with Ethan; if only she hadn’t offended Liam, causing him to retaliate against the company, Aron wouldn’t have resorted to such measures, turning himself into a criminal.
Having come this far, Arthur River was unwilling to admit he was wrong, so he found countless excuses for himself, placing all the blame on Maya, believing the current situation was all her doing.
Thus, he solemnly promised, "Young master, don’t worry, this is not your fault, it’s all the young lady’s fault. I won’t abandon you."
Seeing him bring up Maya, Aron immediately said, "Arthur, don’t hit Maya, don’t harm Maya. No matter what, Maya is still my niece, she has the same blood as me. She’s my sister’s child. Don’t harm her. I believe your purpose is only to save me, not to harm Maya."
Listening to Aron’s plea, the man fell silent, hinting at his intention to harm Maya as revenge for Aron.
"I’m begging you, Arthur," seeing Arthur remain silent, Aron pleaded again.
She was scared Maya couldn’t withstand his beatings and wouldn’t survive until the exchange.
Arthur listened to Aron’s sincere plea, sighed deeply, and temporarily agreed.
Then Aron said, "Arthur, you’ve caused such a big issue, surely you’ll be unable to stay in S City in the future, and you’ll have to take legal responsibility. Why not leave with me, bring your wife, let’s go together."
Aron asked him to bring his wife to distract him, fearing Arthur might do something excessive during the airport exchange for Maya. If his wife was by his side, he might have some reservations.
"Young master!" Listening to Aron’s plan, Arthur choked up; he hadn’t expected that even now, while risking everything, Aron would still be thinking of him; he thought whatever he had done was worth it.
So he nodded, agreed with a soft "Mm."
Aron saw his agreement, exhaled deeply, and hung up the phone.
At that moment, he recalled Jane Spencer’s face and felt terrified; a chilling wind seeped up from his feet, making him feel cold all over. Sleeping beside her for so long and still being alive, he considered himself extremely lucky.
Liam left the police station and, on the way to the company, received a call from Hudson Moore, who said, "Third brother, Arthur’s wife is not at home; seems he’s made preparations and had her leave early."
"Alright, let’s not worry about Arthur for now; Aron will lead him to the airport."
"Third brother, do you really trust Aron? Aren’t you afraid this is a ’burning down the barn to get rid of the rats’ tactic and his escape is genuine?" Despite the situation, Hudson remained skeptical, as his interactions with Aron had been limited, only knowing him to use Maya for signing a contract, leading to a poor impression.
Listening to Hudson’s question, Liam replied helplessly, "Even if it is true, it doesn’t matter; as long as Maya returns safely."
At this juncture, Liam couldn’t concern himself too much; the only person he could worry about was Maya.
Then, Hudson added, "Third brother, tech team found your sister-in-law’s phone by the riverside in the western suburbs, but no sign of Arthur hiding her nearby."
"Mm! Got it." Liam said and hung up.
At this moment, there wasn’t much he could do, but wait for Arthur River to contact him and then negotiate terms to exchange hostages.
"Sigh..." Liam heaved a deep sigh.
That night felt longer than a lifetime, even harder than the three-year wait for Maya. He raised his left hand and glanced at the watch; it was already four in the morning.
He felt like he was trapped in a nightmare—a tiresome nightmare—how he wished when he woke up, he would still be in his big bed, with Maya in his arms.
He missed Maya to the brink of madness, even though it had been less than 12 hours, he felt as if centuries had passed since they separated.
At this moment, suddenly his phone rang—an unknown number. It was obvious Arthur was calling; he didn’t want Arthur contacting him first.
Liam immediately answered the call, eagerly saying, "Alright, I promise you, I’ll send Aron away; you give me Maya."
"Mr. Liam, seems you’ve identified me already, didn’t expect you’d find my house so quickly; Mr. Liam’s efficiency certainly lives up to its reputation." Arthur had seen Liam a few times while with Aron but hadn’t spoken to him before.
He never believed that the cold and aloof Liam would have his own fears, which was quite surprising.
Listening to the man’s sarcastic words, Liam didn’t respond, went straight to the point, saying, "Aron said he wants a private plane and wanted to take you and your wife with him. I’ve agreed, but you must bring Maya to the airport. Until I confirm Maya is safe, I’ll hand Aron over to you."
"Mr. Liam acts swiftly indeed; tell me, when can you get the young master out of the station?"
"Tomorrow, tomorrow morning at ten. I can have everything ready, we meet at the new airport, fewer passengers there."
"Alright, tomorrow morning at ten, I’ll bring Maya for the young master’s exchange."
"Mm!" After confirming the time and place, the two hung up.
