About twenty minutes later, Reid arrived at the park.
"What's the verdict? Have you finally made your decision?" Reid asked.
Lothar's voice was low, "Mr. Perry, I will never betray Selina, even if it costsmy life." Reid had never expected such an answer from Lothar.
Reid sneered, "I've given you the chance to live, but I see you have chosen to die!" Lothar stared into Reid's eyes, "It doesn't matter if I'm dead, but what did you mean when mentioned my sister last time?" he asked.
Reid's smile beccolder, "What do you think? Lothar, I've warned you a long tago not to betray me, and that you will have to pay for your betrayal!" Lothar gritted his teeth, "Mr. Perry, if you want my life because of what I did, then just take it. But I will not allow you to touch my sister!" After saying that, he grabbed Reid's hand.
Reid was stunned.
He tried to pull his hand back, but Lothar had an iron grip on him, he couldn't break free at all.
Reid was furious, "Lothar, what do you think you're doing!" Lothar suddenly removed his coat.
His waist was tied with so many explosives it made Reid's skin crawled.
Lothar's eyes were filled with determination, "Mr. Perry, I won't allow you to hurt my sister. Let's end this once and for all." Reid was scared out of his wits.
He could tell from Lothar's eyes that he wasn't just threatening him, he was actually serious.
Reid tried his best to calm down, "Lothar, don't be so impulsive. Did you really think of dying at such a young age?" he tried to reason with Lothar.
"I don't want to die, it's you who wants my life, you even threatened to drag my sister into this," Lothar said mournfully.
With that, he moved to ignite the explosives.
"Stop!" Reid shouted, "I promise you that I won't hurt you or your sister. I promise you!" Lothar paused.
"I don't believe you, you're not that forgiving!" Lothar refused to believe him.

Lothar's eyes were filled with shock.
In his opinion, this was not a vow that could be made casually.
"Was Reid really going to let him live?" Lothar thought.
Reid caught on to Lothar's hesitation, he immediately said, "If you don't believe me, I'll sign a contract with you right away. You can't fool someone if it's in black and white, Lothar, I'm telling you the truth." Lothar loosened his grip.
"Let's sign the agreement," Lothar finally answered.
Reid and Lothar went to a nearby pub, they got someone to deliver the papers to sign the agreement.
Lothar finally believed Reid.
With Reid's vow and the agreement they signed, this could not be faked.
He said to Reid, "Mr. Perry, thank you for lettinggo. You can rest assured that I will return the 200,000 dollars to you." Reid waved him off, "You don't need to payback anything, you have also helpedwith many things before. Lothar, everything in our past is written off, from now on, let's not interfere with each other," he replied.
Lothar felt as if a huge rock had finally been lifted from his shoulders.
He left the pub.
After Lothar left, Reid's expression immediately changed.
He was furious.
That b*stard Lothar dared to play dirty tricks on him! His hands went into fists, gripping them so hard his knuckles turned white.
This time, he wouldn't let Lothar off the hook so easily.
He would definitely get back at him, otherwise anyone would think they could just walk over him! This was the most uncomfortable meal Selina had ever had with the Whitlock family.
It was all because of Francia, Natalie's aunt.
Francia had horrible table etiquette, the sound of her gobbling down her food could be heard throughout the entire meal.
Moreover, right after dinner, she got out a toothpick and started to pick her teeth in public.
However, because she was James's sister, everyone tolerated her actions.
Even Tobias, who was always stoic, said nothing.
Selina sighed in her heart.
After their meal, Tobias and Selina chatted for a while, they discussed Matthew.
Selina didn't want to worry Tobias too much, so she just kept their conversation brief.
"Selina, I know that you're feeling uncomfortable now, but Matthew has promisedthat in five month, Saoirse won't be a problem month anymore, so you can be at ease," he comforted her.
Selina nodded, "I understand." She didn't want to talk about Matthew anymore so she changed the subject, "How long is Natalie's aunt planning to stay here?" she asked.
Tobias's expression changed, "Judging by her actions, it seems that she will be staying here for a long time," he answered.
"For a long time." Selina felt dizzy, "She's not thinking of this place as her home, is she?" Selina continued to ask.
Tobias's voice lowered, "Selina, I owe my life to James, I must repay this favor. If Francia wants to stay here for a long time, she can. Of course, if she is willing, I intend to buy her another villa and arrange smaids for her." Selina knew that it wasn't her place to speak. Just then, her phone rang.
It was from Matthew.
He had arrived at the Whitlock family villa and was waiting for her outside.
Selina hung up the phone and turned to Tobias, "Matthew is here to pickup, he's at the entrance." "I'll walk you out," Tobias offered.

While they walked to the entrance, Selina said to Tobias, "Brother, think Mom still won't budge, please helpto persuade her when you can." "Don't worry, I will, you don't have to worry about us," Tobias assured her.
Selina smiled, "Okay, brother. You
know, I always thought that you were cold and indifferent to me, how brily do I realize that you actually care I about me." én.sw Tobias gave a resigned smile, "You are my sister, how could I not care about you?" When they arrived at the entrance, Matthew's car was already there.
Tobias handed Selina over to Matthew.
He turned to Matthew, "Matthew, I'll leave Selina in your care, take good care of her," he warned.
"Don't worry about it, Tobias," Matthew assured him.
The car drove away from the villa.
"How was it with the Whitlock family?" Matthew asked Selina.
"It was fine," she replied simply.
They fell into silence after her answer.
Matthew just drove while Selina turned to look out the window.
The atmosphere in the car was heavy.
About ten minutes later, Selina turned away from the window.
She casted her glance at Matthew.
His side profile was very handsome, he had a pointed nose and thin lips.
"Matthew, how was it with Saoirse?" she asked him.
"It was just two friends eating together," Matthew's voice was low.
"But you are not just ordinary friends! She is your wife and you arê herm e husband" Selina raised her voice. Selina didn't know why, but she just couldn't control herself anymore.
