Chapter 95: Safe Haven
Sara knew that if she tried to persuade Cara with the thought that Cole would drag her down, it would be impossible.
Back then, when Sara had felt that she was useless for not being able to help the corporation…
Cara had not given up.
Therefore, it was even more impossible for Sara to persuade Cara, who had already achieved this status, now.
Therefore, Sara took another path.
Reverse thinking!
I’m not thinking of you. I’m thinking of Cole.
It’s impossible for you not to consider Cole!
Sara was full of confidence.
These words could definitely sway Cara.
Moreover, these words were indeed her conclusion from Cole’s standpoint.
Although she did not like Cole, it did not stop her from doing so.
After a moment of silence, Cara sighed slowly. “You’ve grown up.”
“I think I’ve grown up too.”
Sara nodded.
She felt smug.
It seemed that she had really convinced her sister.
“But you’re still a little immature. Go back and study well.” Cara changed the topic.
The smugness on Sara’s face froze. “Why?”
“Do you know why I asked you to come to the hospital as soon as you got off the plane?”
Cara did not answer her and asked a question instead.
“Why?”
Sara was puzzled about this.
As soon as she had gotten off the plane, she had gone straight to the company to look for Cara. Who knew that Cara actually asked her to come to the hospital to meet…
Then, Cara had her observe Cole for half an hour.
That half an hour was simply the most unbearable moment of Sara’s life.
“Do you know how badly injured he is?”
Cara said.
“How badly?”
Sara frowned and recalled. “It seems to be quite bad. I saw that his entire body was wrapped in bandages, and there was even gauze on his face. He didn’t look good. Didn’t the report say that he bled a lot?”
“Then do you know how he got his injuries?”
“Didn’t you say it was a martial arts competition?”
Sara had asked around about this.
After all, as soon as she had gotten off the plane, she knew that the Williams family had killed the Hayes family’s Guardian in a deathmatch.
But she still didn’t think it was anything.
So what if Cole was good at fighting?
In terms of fighting ability, couldn’t Uncle Hugh fight? Couldn’t Auntie Lawson fight?
Wasn’t Trent Wilson better than Cole at fighting?
When that time came, wouldn’t Cole die?
“Yeah.”
Cara nodded. “Then do you know why he fought?”
This time, she did not wait for Sara to answer and continued.
“He was targeted by the Hayes family because he was engaged to me. Hence, he was kidnapped as a tool to threaten me.”
“What?”
Sara’s expression changed.
She really did not know about this.
“Cole was tied up. He was slapped in front of a lot of people and his leg was broken.”
Cara recalled that. She was expressionless, but an unconcealable killing intent appeared in her eyes.
“What?”
Sara widened her eyes.
This kind of thing sounded painful.
And it was humiliating.
“The Hayes and the Yeagers used Cole to ask me for land and a port…”
Cara asked, “So much?!”
She did not expect that the dangerous situations she had talked about to persuade Cara had already happened.
“Was that a lot?”
Cara smiled. “Maybe a lot. I actually didn’t hear what they wanted at that time because I was in a mess.”
That night, Cara had not calmed down.
She could not remain calm either.
“Did you agree?”
Sara was silent.
She could imagine her sister’s pain.
No matter how ordinary Cole was, he was still the person her sister liked.
No one could calm down after seeing the person they liked being humiliated and suffering!
“I agreed.”
Cara nodded.
Sara sighed.
As expected…
Their marriage was a marriage that dragged each other down.
Cara let Cole fall into a dead end, and Cole became Cara’s greatest burden.
“Then isn’t our Williams family very weak now?” Sara asked.
Giving up so much was no different from cutting off her flesh.
But unexpectedly, Cara shook her head. “The Williams family are the same as before.”
“What?”
Sara was stunned. “Didn’t you agree?”
“No.”
Sara was stunned. “You didn’t?”
“To be precise, Cole didn’t agree.”
“Him?”
Sara was in disbelief.
What right did Cole have to decide whether to give it or not?
“Because he killed himself.”
Cara said slowly.
Sara was stunned.
Suicide?!
Cara did not continue. She just pondered and recalled things.
After a long time, Sara stammered, “W-What did you say?
“He committed suicide?!
“How is that possible!”
Sara raised her voice higher and higher. Her next sentence was so loud that it almost overturned the roof.
“This must be his method. So that I didn’t suffer, he helped me eliminate my so-called burden,” Cara explained.
“But, but…”
Sara was shocked and speechless.
Suicide to help her sister get out of trouble?!
This sounded like a fantasy.
At this moment…
Sara’s short-circuited brain finally regained consciousness. She keenly grasped a key point. “But Cole is still alive! He’s not dead at all!
“He just faked his death to deceive you.”
She got to the point.
Cole was still alive and well. He even fought with someone and killed a powerful Guardian…
This did not look like a weakling who would be kidnapped.
He was using fake death to deceive her sister’s sympathy!
“Really? If he really faked his death…”
However, Cara smiled. “Then could he maintain a fake death when a knife was being pierced through his heart. And our Williams family could use this opportunity to capture Charles Yeager and Chris Hayes. Don’t you think that’s very impressive?”
Sara was stunned.
Capture the sons of two families in one go?
This did sound very impressive.
Cole’s image in Sara’s heart suddenly became cunning again.
“Then, then why did he fight? And why was he so seriously injured?”
Sara’s mind was a mess.
As a normal person, she could not understand this plot.
“He told me about it.”
Cara sighed slowly. “He wants to protect me.
“I told him I don’t need his protection.
“But he also said that he knew I didn’t need it. Yet, he wanted to.
“Therefore, although he knew that he could not defeat Simone Owen, he knew that he could not even withstand Simone Owens’s full-powered attack…
“He still went.
“Maybe. That’s what he’s trying to prove to me. He’s not a burden.
“He’s a safe haven.”
Cara finished speaking.
Sara’s expression changed instantly.
