Chapter 130
Joan panicked, her chest rumbling, and her words stuck in her throat.
Fane has done everything for him. He agrees to perform a fake marriage and replace Ivan's place on the battlefield just because Fane wants his mother to get better care.
Joan didn't know about any of that as she lay sick in bed. It was only after he was discharged from the hospital that a doctor gave Fane a letter that he found out about the whole situation.
During these five years, he also felt fear. He was afraid that Fane would die on the battlefield.
It's hard not to believe when a lot of people say their son is dead. Because if the news wasn't true, Fane would have been quiet for years and sent word home.
Joan can only pray for her son while waiting for Fane to return safely.
It was then that they heard the slow roar of the approaching scooter following Fane and Selena above, finally arriving home. They parked the scooter in the front yard.
"Fane, are you okay? I heard that you beat up Drake's bodyguard. Is that true?"
Joan immediately jumped forward and asked Fane in a very worried tone.
"Oh I did beat them, but don't worry. Everything is fine!"
Fane smiled as he spoke indifferently.
"Look? Listen, right? He admitted it himself! How could he be fine after beating up Drake's family bodyguard?"
"Yes. You've done nothing but drag the Taylor family down with you for the last five years, Fane. I suggest you go. How could everything be fine after you make a troublemaker at the Drake family residence!"
Xena looked at Fane with a disdainful look. "You're a grown man, but you don't know what to do and what not. You even got Selena to help you ask for 300 grand from her mother. That's money for ransom, right? Thankfully, Mama Fiona is smart enough not to go your way. Otherwise, the money will be gone for free!"
Fane could not help but flaunt a smile full of irony to reply to Xena's condescending attitude. "Now I understand why Selena doesn't like you so much. You're talking too much to someone who's not part of this family. Why do you care so much when it's just Ben's girlfriend?"
Xena was so angry that she suddenly didn't know how to retaliate,
"Hmmm! Fane Woods, you want to rebel, huh?"
Fiona put her hand on her hip. "I still haven't recognized you as a son-in-law. You're an outsider in this family, you know? Xena has been dating Ben for two years. Basically, she is Ben's fiancee and for us, Xena we already consider her a daughter-in-law. He is not an outsider at all!"
"Fuckin' thick!"
Xena immediately raised her chin when she heard Fiona's defense, her confidence was back. "Even if Papa Andrew and Mama Fiona haven't acknowledged me, I'm Ben's soulmate. Besides, Ben and I are getting married soon! Ben would've been a rich man if it wasn't for you, and I wouldn't have suffered like this!"
"Tell me, how did you two get Drake's family to release you? I bet you gave them a few hundred grand, so they let you go home to take more money. Is that true?"
"Even if they ask for his flaws, I will not spend a single cent as compensation for the guards. Not for a piece of trash like you!"
Fiona realizes that Fane is still standing still in her place. He then brought in a suitcase and moved it in front of Fane. "We just bought this. Think of it as our last gift to you. Take this and go; the further the better. This way you might survive, with Drake's family records unable to find you!"
Fiona fell silent, thought for a moment, then said again, "Oh, and take your mother with you. He's also an outsider in my family!"
"Ma, what are you saying?!"
Selena couldn't take it anymore after hearing all those conversations. He stepped forward and grabbed the suitcase. "Fane did beat up some of Drake's family bodyguards, but I'm serious, everything's fine. Tanya not only allowed him to continue working tomorrow, but she even provided a private villa for Fane inside the Drake family residence. He could rest there during the break hours, and he could even stay there if he didn't want to go home!"
" I - Impossible. You lied! He beat up Drake's family bodyguard. How can everything be okay?"
Fiona was aghast, a frozen expression filling her face.
Seriate......
