Chapter 87
“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Ryland tugged at Samantha’s clothes and asked with concern.
Samantha furrowed her brows. “Something feels off
“Ah..” Ryland widened his eyes. “Mommy, is there any danger?”
Danger…
Samantha’s heart tightened abruptly. It felt like something had swiftly passed through her mind, but she couldn’t grasp it.
Suddenly, a familiar male voice came through. Samantha looked up and saw Francis rushing towards them at an incredible speed. He was covered in blood, and his hair was disheveled, but his handsomeness still couldn’t be masked.
Seeing him in this state, Samantha’s fleeting thoughts in her mind suddenly became clear. She immediately turned around and embraced Ryland tightly, then stepped back abruptly. At the same time, Francis rushed forward and shielded her back. They all fell into the bushes together.
Bang! An ear–splitting explosion resounded. Flames shot up into the air. Ryland felt Samantha covering his ears, but the ringing in his ears persisted. He looked at Samantha and Francis and felt a deep sense of sadness in his heart. His mother once again risked her life to protect him. His father also risked his life to protect both of them….
He made up his mind that no matter how his mother scolded him, he would start calling Francis daddy. Even if it was just because of what Francis did today, which was sacrificing himself to protect them. Ryland felt it was worth it….
“Samantha, Ryland, are you both okay?” Francis asked in a hoarse voice.
Tm fine, how about you, Ryland?” Samantha replied.
Tm fine too.” Ryland asked, “Monamy, was it our car that exploded?”
“Yes,” Samantha nodded. Then, they crawled out of the bushes one after another, looking at the burning car ahead with complicated expressions.
“How much do they want me dead?” Samantha clicked her
tongue
“This place is not safe, and the car might explode again. Yarris is coming to pick us up, so let’s go, Francis said.
“Elise and her people are still in the capture them.”
“Okay, let’s go.
Soon, Yarris drove over
the factory, they won’t be able to move for a while. Make sure to arrange for someone to
Ryland looked at Francis covered in blood. Even his shirt sleeves were torn, and Ryland couldn’t help but ask, “Daddy, what happened to you?”
Francis was stunned.
“What did you just call me?” he asked.
Ryland pursed his lips and said, “I’ve made up my mind. I’ll start calling you Daddy from now on.”
A flash of joy crossed Francis‘ eyes, and he subconsciously looked at Samantha Samantha, at this moment, was looking outside the window without saying a word.

Francis assumed that Samantha wouldn’t interfere anymore and reached out to pat Ryland’s head.
“My good boy.”
was speechless. He thought, “Why is Daddy also fond of patting my head like Mommy? No wonder I eat so much. every day but I’m still shorter than my brother! HmphTM
Ryland
After about a few seconds, Samantha turned her head and asked Francis, “Did you encounter any danger on the way?”
“Yes,” Francis nodded. “Ever since we left South Mountain, several cars followed us, armed with weapons. There was also a timed bomb installed on my car.
Samantha glanced at his arms. “You’re injured.”
“No worries, it’s just a minor injury. What about you, Samantha? Are you hurt?”
Samantha shook her head. her expression turning heavy.
It was clear that today’s events were beyond Elise’s capability alone.
Kidnapping. Wolf pack… Explosion….
One thing came after another, causing Samantha to feel suffocated. The terrifyingly familiar methods made her think of a certain organization.
She turned her head and asked Francis, “Did we get any information from the man we caught last time?”
Francis nodded. “Yes, we did. It’s the Dark Manor
Samantha’s pupils suddenly contracted. Francis noticed her reaction and reflexively grabbed her hand.
“Samantha, what’s wrong with you?”
“Do you know what the Dark Manor means?” Samantha was completely immersed in the shock brought by the Dark Manor and didn’t realize that her hand was held by Francis.
Francis nodded slightly, his face growing colder.
“Yorksland. It’s the center of the world and the most prosperous place everyone dreams of. The Dark Manor is an extremely powerful force there. It has a large family, and a wide network of interests, and its businesses are vast as well. Even the government is powerless to control them.”
“Yeah.” Samantha nodded. “So, killing is a simple routine for them. We have become their target…”
I’m sorry, Samantha: Francis‘ eyes turned dark. “I’ve dragged you into this. I’m the one they’re after. I want to send you and Ryland and Isaac somewhere safe…
“No.” Samantha shook her head, looking at him. “No, they might be after you, but it’s not just your
“Huh? What do you mean?” Francis furrowed his brow.
Samantha bit her lip and subconsciously wanted to squeeze her hand while thinking.
However, the hand she held was not her ownL
The touch was clearly rougher and more solid…
Samantha lowered her gaze and saw Francis tightly gripping her hands with his own.

Her eyes widened in shock.
“What are you doing?”
Francis was speechless. He thought, “How did her attitude change so quickly? What is going on?”
Seeing that he didn’t respond, Samantha freed her hand from his grip.
Francis realized her struggle and then understood what she was asking.
In his mind, the content from 100 Ways to Get a Girl‘ flashed…
Then he forcefully pulled her into his arms.
Ryland was speechless and pretended that he didn’t see anything.
“What are you doing?” Samantha pounded on Francis‘ shoulder.
“Ouch…”
“Did I hit your wound?”
“Yeah, it hurts.” Francis nestled in Samantha’s hair. “Just hold me for a while and consider it compensation.”
At that moment. Francis held Samantha tightly. Samantha smelled a faint tobacco scent mixed with a strong smell of blood coming from him.
She felt that it was all like a dream.
Why did this man. Francis, appear in her life?
When she was Samantha before, she had never been so close to any man except for the one from her childhood… The onc who was her little knight….
Thinking of this, Samantha’s pupils contracted, and she suddenly broke free from Francis’s embrace.
Francis was stunned and looked at her.
Samantha turned around and looked out of the window without saying anything.
She emitted an aura that kept others at a distance.
Francis thought, “What’s wrong with her?”
Francis didn’t dare to disturb her. The three of them went home and showered respectively.
After taking a shower, Samantha was blowing her hair in the room.
While blowing, she recalled what had happened today.
First, Elise sent the Johansson family driver to kidnap Ryland, then the wolf pack came… followed by the explosion….
Were the wolf pack and the explosion the work of the same person?
How many people were involved in these consecutive accidents today?
If they were only targeting Francis, they could have simply kidnapped Isaac instead of Ryland…
If they kidnapped Ryland, it meant she was targeted too,
Besides Elise, who else wanted her dead?
