Chapter 375 - Fragile with her tiny frame... (2/2)

So I thought to help her out of the hell. She had a daughter of seven years old with her that time. So she asked me to send her to her grandparents' home. I fixed everything for her so that she could escape away from there. But…”

”But what?” Lisa asked.

Veronica was confused to see her so eager but she shrugged it away, thinking that she must be curious as Frank and she had lived in the same country..

”But the day of the escaping, she didn't arrive at the decided place. I called her again and again, but got no response. Later I got a message that she wanted me too meet her near an abandoned place...

I had some doubt about it but still went there and it proved out to be the biggest mistake of my life. It ruined my whole family and killed my son..” Mr. Brown again started crying.

”I understand everything. But what is the connection between Alex's death and his threat?” Neil pointed it out.

”That's the catch here. If he would have only demanded me to take my business away, I still would have come out with a new idea. But he blackmailed me with my family instead...

He threatened me that if I didn't obey his words, then he would kill my family too. And obviously, I didn't want to risk my family's life at any cost. So from that day, I agreed with whatever he said...

Because of him, I had to torture my whole family. I even locked Alex up in one of my farm house. But one day, when they grew up, Alonzo found his brother and then…”
