Chapter 1572 Refuse To Live In Shame

Lawrence walked toward his desk, took a lighter and a pack of cigarettes out of the drawer, and lit a cigarette only after returning to the window. Not a man who would smoke regularly, he would only do so when he felt troubled.

Half a pack later, he finally sat down and gazed at the family photo on his desk, seemingly having made up his mind.

Knock, knock.

A knock came on the door all of a sudden.

"Come in."

"Ms. Sonia's kidnappers have died, General Lawrence," a man reported as he entered.

Lawrence frowned immediately.

"How did they die?"

I haven't even fought back yet. Who could've done this?

"We're not sure yet. All we know is that it was a woman who did it. She had them thrown into a river," the man answered respectfully. Lawrence looked grim. And who could this woman be? Why did she feed Sonia's kidnappers to the fish like that?

His mind brimmed with confusion and suspicion.

Back at the hospital, Harvey was just as muddled.

"You mean it was a woman who instigated the kidnapping?"

Sonia nodded. "She said we swapped purses by accident. I don't know what was inside hers, but it seemed really important to her."

She was still rattled by the incident. Her father was a general but nothing more than that, and she had disclosed his status despite being unsure if her kidnappers would be wary of him.

Thankfully, they did fear her father and dared not violate her. Had they touched her, she would rather die than live in shame-even if Harvey still wanted her.

Harvey pondered deeply. What could've made that woman take such a huge risk by kidnapping Sonia?

"Don't be afraid. It's all over now. I'll protect you from now on." He looked up in time to see Sonia's petrified expression, and he pulled her into his arms immediately.

She calmed down right after hearing his comforting words.

Still, her fears were real, given that it was her first time encountering such an ordeal after all her years of living.

"Didn't you say she's visited your house? Do you have surveillance cameras at home? Get your parents to watch the footage and replace out if that woman's face can be seen. Anyone who dares lay a finger on my woman is going to feel my wrath." Harvey's heart ached when he saw how terrified Sonia looked.

I don't care who that woman is. Once I replace her, I'm going to make her pay dearly!

With a nod, Sonia used Harvey's phone to dial her father's number as she didn't have her own device with her.

As a general, Lawrence didn't usually pick up calls from strangers. But this time, for some reason, he answered his phone right after glancing at his screen.

"Father, this is Sonia. I'm using Harvey's phone." Sonia understood her father's habit of not answering calls from unsaved numbers, so she immediately identified herself.

"Are you feeling better?" Lawrence asked, feeling glad that he didn't reject the call.

Sonia answered with a brief "yes" before repeating what Harvey had said to her.

Lawrence couldn't help but gain a better impression of Harvey. He hadn't expected the latter to be investigating this matter too.

"All right. I'll forward any footage I replace to this phone."

Meanwhile, another woman felt apprehensive as she spoke into her phone, unaware that she was now being looked into.
