Chapter 428 - 406: She Has Completely Lost Her Freedom (2)

Sure, here’s the translation for the provided text:

Soren Johnson saw Chloe Simpson looking at Selene Wilson, and the veins on his tightly clenched hand with the cane were more prominent: "Chloe, I’m telling you, don’t think that because Selene pleaded for you before, you can dodge punishment this time. I’m telling you, this time, not even a king can save you! Butler!"

Soren Johnson raised his hand to command the butler, and Alexander Johnson quickly stood up to stop him: "Grandpa, this matter has nothing to do with Chloe."

"So you’re admitting that you did it."

Soren Johnson swung the cane in his hand and struck down: "Alexander Johnson, the Johnson Family has taught you so many years, raised you for so many years. Is this what you learned, to send the entire Johnson Family into the pit?"

"Because of a woman, cutting off someone’s root, and now the whole thing has hit the hot search. You really are something!"

Soren Johnson was so angry his face turned pale and swung the cane in his hand again to hit.

Liam Johnson hurried forward to stop him: "Father, you can’t hit him anymore. If you continue, Alexander will be in trouble."

At this moment, Alexander Johnson was lying on the ground, with blood slowly seeping from the wound on his back, showing how much force Soren Johnson used with that strike.

Soren Johnson trembled, nodding heavily: "Fine, a child is unschooled by his father, then you’ll take the punishment for him."

Gabriella Dyer stood up, walked over, and suddenly knelt down in front of Soren Johnson: "Father, Liam is already so old, he can’t take it."

At this time, what no one expected happened.

Alan Johnson suddenly stood up, walked over to Soren Johnson, with his hands hanging at his sides, his head down, looking like he’s ready to be reserved.

"Father, actually things aren’t the way you say. Yesterday, Chloe and I were together. Together all night."

Alan Johnson’s words left the entire living room in an instant of silence.

Everyone looked at him simultaneously.

Especially Alexander Johnson lying on the ground, disregarding the wound on his back, struggled to arch his body and stared straight at Alan Johnson.

"What did you say?" Soren Johnson gritted his molars hard.

"Father, I really didn’t know about Chloe’s relationship with the Johnson Family. You know, for so many years, I’ve always been like this. Coming back from abroad, I definitely need to go to The Empyrean to relax."

"So, Chloe and I accidentally ran into each other, so... originally, I was especially surprised when I saw Chloe in the living room today."

"This is really just a coincidence. I really didn’t expect it to turn out this way in the end. Chloe was indeed with me last night."

Alan Johnson said everything honestly.

And Chloe Simpson, shocked beyond belief.

At this very moment, she had completely forgotten to breathe.

She kept her eyes glued to everything in front of her.

Could have never expected things would turn out like this.

She only followed Selene Wilson’s words, and approached Lucas Hughes last night.

And Alexander Johnson actually directly crippled Lucas Hughes, and did away with his root.

Also afterward, she herself didn’t know why she ran into Alan Johnson.

Now, Alan Johnson to save Alexander, had laid out all the matters.

It’s all too messy.

She had completely lost her bearings.

However, the only certainty is that all the knot lies with Selene Wilson.

If Selene Wilson hadn’t made her go to The Empyrean to approach Lucas Hughes last night, then all of this would never have happened.

She would have followed the arrangement with the Old Sir of Johnson Family, to leave the Johnson Family and Alexander Johnson in over 20 days, completely severing all ties.

And wouldn’t have ended up intertwined with Alan Johnson who returned from abroad.

Just as she was lost in thought, a very sharp gaze suddenly pierced over.

Together with this gaze came a crushing force that could grind a person to powder.

This gaze wasn’t anyone else’s, but precisely from the Old Sir of Johnson Family, Soren Johnson.

When Chloe looked up at Soren Johnson, he’d already sat back on the sofa, restored his calm.

"Good, very good. Never thought a woman could have such great skill, to captivate both my son and grandson."

"Chloe Simpson, our cooperation is canceled. Starting today, you’ll stay in the Johnson Family, stay in your room, without my orders, you can’t step out of your room."

"Of course, I won’t do anything to you, I’ll have someone provide you with three meals a day, with good food and drink. As for those things you wanted to buy, choose as you wish, select from the internet freely, I can have someone bring them to you. As for freedom, don’t count on it starting today."

Soren Johnson finished saying everything and turned to go upstairs back to his room.

The moment he went upstairs, everyone knew this matter, for now, had ended.

Gabriella Dyer snorted coldly and followed the Old Sir of Johnson Family upstairs, returning to her room.

With everything having come to this point, even the Old Sir of Johnson Family was completely disappointed with Alexander Johnson, his grandson.

So why should Gabriella Dyer continue to play her part?

Originally, everyone in the Johnson Family was aware, she’s merely a stepmother.

No need to act anymore.

Meanwhile, the butler invited the family doctor to come over to bandage Alexander Johnson’s wound.

Liam Johnson was nearby accompanying, and Selene Wilson, as the fiancée, also sat in a wheelchair accompanying at one side.

As for Alexander Johnson, after hearing Alan Johnson’s words, he didn’t give Chloe Simpson a single glance.

"Someone, escort Miss Simpson upstairs."

The butler also dispatched a servant to escort Chloe Simpson upstairs to her room.

Chloe Simpson didn’t say another word and went back to her room upstairs.

Because she knew, no matter what she said now, it was useless.

Since the Old Sir of Johnson Family had made a decision, she could only obediently accept it.

Moreover, at this moment, she didn’t have any bargaining chips to negotiate with.

What could be done if she didn’t accept?

She indeed needed time to calm down, and carefully organize all the things that had happened from last night to now.

If this matter needed a breakthrough, then there was only one person, Selene Wilson.

Chloe Simpson thought, after everything was settled, she’d ask Selene Wilson properly.

Or perhaps she didn’t need to rush, after this incident, Selene Wilson would definitely come to explain to her.

Otherwise, how could their cooperation continue?

But for these events that occurred, she still needed to think through them carefully.

Chloe Simpson returned to the room, put down her phone, lay on the bed, and began to recall.

From yesterday when Selene Wilson summoned her, saying to have her go to The Empyrean to approach Lucas Hughes.

Until today when Alexander Johnson did away with Lucas Hughes’s root.

All of this was truly bizarre.

Where did it go wrong?

While Chloe was racking her brains thinking, the phone suddenly buzzed vibrantly.

She picked up the phone and glanced, it was a phone call from that mysterious man.

Seeing this call, Chloe Simpson instantly realized.

That’s right, Selene Wilson only arranged for her to go to The Empyrean, to approach Lucas Hughes.

And this was out in the open, Selene Wilson if she wanted to cooperate later, how could she possibly play so many tricks?

Selene Wilson was about to marry into the Johnson Family shortly, how would causing such negative news for Jacob Johnson benefit her?

It’s likely there was a third hand behind this matter.

How could she have forgotten this man?

It’s him!

It must be him!
