Chapter 677
Nathaniel’s expression froze.
Of course, it was important!
If he proved impotent, he would not be much of a man.
The room turned quiet again.
After a moment of contemplation, Nathaniel spoke seriously, “Let’s compromise. I definitely can’t free Lionel now, but I won’t kill him.”
Sheena frowned, saying, “I want you to record a statement swearing not to take Lionel’s life. After the wedding, you had better surrender Clear. Otherwise, you’ll live the rest of your days in misery!
“Fine, I’ll play by your rules,” Nathaniel said with a faint smile.
Sheena took a phone out of Nathaniel’s pocket and started recording.
Nathaniel, following her instructions, solemnly made the oath.
Sheena thought the pledge needed more bite and added, “I want you to state that if you break this promise, Princess Kelly and Uncle Wesley will meet the same fate as you!”
At the mention of his parents, Nathaniel’s expression changed.
“Nana, isn’t that a bit too harsh?”
“Not harsh enough. How can I trust you to keep your word if you don’t have something dear to you at stake? I know you love Princess Kelly and Uncle Wesley. Swear on them, and I might believe you.”
Nathaniel fell silent.
Sheena lightly cut a small blood trail on his neck, a silent threat.
With a wry smile, Nathaniel reluctantly said, “Okay, I swear.
He repeated the oath earnestly, following Sheena’s guidance.
Sheena sent the recording to her cloud storage and stored it securely before retracting the silver needle on the ring.
A sizzling sound filled the air.
Sheena looked up to see the guards using their tasers.
As Lionel was holding Jamie hostage, both he and Jamie were stunned and collapsed on the ground,
unconscious.
“Nathaniel!” Sheena was furious.
“Nana, don’t misunderstand. He attempted theft, and he needs to be temporarily detained as a
punishment. Otherwise, I can’t explain it to Mom. But rest assured, I’ll keep my promise this time!
The guards carried the unconscious Lionel away. At the same time, they also retrieved the cooler boz which contained Clear.
Nathaniel, with bloodstains on his clothes, needed to change before returning to the banquet hall.
However, Sheena was exhausted and had no intention of continuing with the festivities.
The night sky turned pitch black, and snow began to fall again.
The blowing snow caused the temperature to drop by a few degrees.
Sheena hugged herself, feeling cold, and said, “Take me back to my place. I need some rest.”
Nathaniel promptly took off his suit jacket and wrapped it around her.
A guard brought an umbrella, and Nathaniel personally shielded her from the snow.
Sheena did not refuse his jacket as she absolutely could not afford to fall ill. She needed to conserve her energy and find other solutions before the wedding
Nathaniel observed her expression silently.
Ensuring Sheena made it back to her apartment, Nathaniel instructed the servant to attend to her needs and report any situation immediately.
In the bedroom with the heater on, Nathaniel sat on the edge of the bed. Sheena, facing away from him, breathed steadily, pretending to be asleep.
