Chapter 561
Sean threw a car key to Jethro’s feet. He smiled weakly and said, “I’ve parked the BMW A6 outside. It’s
all yours.” Jethro couldn’t help smiling. He turned his head and looked out the glass door. There was
indeed a black BMW parked there.
“Good. I’ll be going now. You! Help me bring the money over!” ordered Jethro loudly as he pointed at
one of Brandon’s men.
“I’ll do it,” said Brandon coldly. He raised his hand signaling to the people around him to stay put. He
walked steadily over to pick up the case and the key and asked, “Aren’t you taking your wife with you?”
Just then, one of Brandon’s men shoved Jethro’s wife out and she fell to the ground. There was no
trace of blood on her face but she seemed to be harmed a fair bit. She reached out to Jethro with all
her strength and pleaded, “Please, Jethro. Don’t leave me and our baby alone.”
Jethro glanced from his heavily pregnant wife who was lying pathetically on the ground, to the case
filled with money.
He then made up his mind and said emotionlessly, “Lydia, when I get out of here, I will personally pick a
nice place to bury you. Now that I am rich, all sorts of women would be clamoring over me. I can easily
find a young and beautiful woman to give birth to more children for me. Honey, thank you for all your
sacrifices in the past. I am severing our ties from now on. You don’t have to leave with me anymore.”
Jethro’s cruelty was like a blade piercing through Lydia’s heart.
“Jethro, how could you do this to me!” cried Lydia bitterly. Lydia hugged her belly and sobbed loudly.

However, Jethro pretended as if nothing had happened. He walked out the door and toward the car
with Natalie still in his arms. He then asked Brandon to come closer and hand over the case.
Brandon walked slowly over with the case. He narrowed his eyes at Natalie as he approached.
With the strong chemistry between Brandon and Natalie, she immediately understood his hint. She
blinked her eyes in acknowledgment.
Brandon was about to hand the case over to Jethro when he deliberately loosened his grip. The case
fell to the ground and opened due to the impact. The money spilled all over the floor.
Jethro was exasperated and cried angrily, “What the f*uck are you doing? Can’t you even hold a case
properly?”
“I’m sorry,” sneered Brandon.
He stood still and had no intention of picking it up.
Jethro stared at the money in front of him and hesitated. He was unsure whether to pick it up or not.
In the midst of his dilemma, Natalie took the opportunity and stepped on Jethro’s foot with her high
heel.
Jethro jumped and cried out in pain. He loosened his grip and the knife fell to the ground, allowing
Natalie to escape. “Bitch!” shouted Jethro furiously. He picked up his knife and tried to catch Natalie
again.
However, Brandon picked up the case on the ground and smashed it at Jethro’s face.
Jethro fell to the ground. He then lay on the pile of money that had flown out from the case as he was
dizzy from the assault.
Natalie ran over to Brandon and threw herself into his arms.
Jethro stumbled to his feet and looked at the money lying on the ground. He began picking it up like a
lunatic and muttered to himself, “Money, these are all mine. None of you can take my money away…”
Natalie was still in a state of fright. However, she turned her head and looked at Jethro, who seemed to
have gone mad.
Brandon covered her eyes and whispered in her ear, “Don’t look.”
The chaos didn’t last long. Security guards from the Larson Group quickly came forward and had
Jethro surrounded. Meanwhile, Jethro was still sitting on the pile of money, laughing to himself.
Jethro was oblivious to what was happening around him. He buried his face in a pile of cash and took a
deep breath. It looked as if he was high on drugs.
The security guards stepped forward and pinned Jethro to the floor.
He was suddenly brought back to reality. He tried his best to break free, but it was useless. He
screamed in pain as he fell to the ground.
Natalie helped Brandon as they walked back to the hall of the Larson Group. C)
Brandon pinched her cheek and said, “Raise your head.” Natalie bit her lip and lifted her jaw, enduring

before.
Brandon examined the wound on her neck carefully and said, “It’s not that deep. Good thing it’s not
bleeding anymore. I’ll ask Frank to get something for you to help the scar fade faster.”
Natalie wasn’t paying attention to what he said. Instead, she was thinking about whether Brandon
would get angry or not.
After all, she was the one who let Jethro in without his permission.
“I’m sorry. I’ll make sure that this never happens again.” She looked down in dismay. Although she felt
guilty, she knew that there was no point in saying sorry.
Brandon gazed at her coldly, as if saying, “You better not let this happen again.”
Her cheeks turned red in embarrassment when she realized her words didn’t come out right. She
waved her hand and said, “I promise it won’t happen again. Don’t worry.”
Brandon let out an exasperated sigh. Just as he was about to lecture her, he was shoved back by
Estella.
“Natalie! Are you okay? How bad is the wound? The receptionist rushed me to the infirmary to take
care of my wound. Because of that, I missed the exciting part! They caught Jethro, right?”
Estella asked curiously. She then noticed the wound on Natalie’s neck.
