Eileen Dawson was tongue-tied.
She was shocked and speechless.
After a few seconds of thought, Eileen was not moved by Lyla’s words. She gradually calmed down and said, "Yes, I know he hates me. He’s destined to be pressured by me and I’ll hate him for the rest of my life. I’ll also do everything I can to torment him!"
Lyla looked at the woman in front of her and thought that she was very pathetic.
Eileen had already gone off the rails. She was immersed in her own world and could only see her own sadness even though others were more miserable than her.
Such a woman was so pathetic.
Lyla no longer tried to persuade her, then smiled and said, "Since you think so, I have nothing to say, but I must tell you that I’m not like those other women, so don’t even think about using those means that worked with them on me. It’s impossible!"
Eileen's face changed slightly and said, "It seems that you know quite a lot!"
"All I know is what Mark told me. He’s aware of everything you did. Everyone has a bottom line and one day, if you really touched his nerve, he might do something that you’ll regret!"
These words were a warning and a threat.
If Eileen was doing this to her because of Mark, then she would most definitely try something with the twins, which was what Lyla was most worried about. Lyla said this so that Eileen would have some scruples before acting.
As expected, after she said this, Eileen's expression changed.
She stared out to the distance mindlessly. It was unclear what she was thinking about at the moment.
Lyla observed her, but regardless of what she was thinking, Lyla just hoped that her words affected Eileen. At the very least, it would deter her from going to Hansel and Gretel...
After a few seconds, Eileen returned to her senses and looked at Lyla.
"Do you know something?"
Lyla frowned and asked back, "What do you mean?"
"Mark kidnapped Logan because of you. Do you know about this?"
Lyla's heart shook for a while. She looked at Eileen and did not doubt her words. There was finally a reason for her rage earlier and her temperamental mood at the moment.
That was the reason.
It was just that Lyla did not expect Mark to do this...
However, seeing Eileen’s expression, it was because of this that she held back.
Mark captured Logan to threaten Eileen and no one knew what he would do later.
Although Lyla was worried that Mark might go overboard, she was touched to have someone love her like this and felt grateful.
Lyla’s heart could not stay calm, but her expression said, "You tied me up here and isolated me from the world. Do you think I’d know about it?"
Seeing Lyla’s determined face, Eileen pursed her lips and got up as she said, "If Mark thinks that he’ll get you back this way, then he’s wrong!"
Lyla frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Eileen did not say anything else, turned around, and walked out.
Looking at her departing back, Lyla’s frown became deeper. What did she mean by that?
Was she going to give up on Logan...?
......
In the evening, Mark was asked to go back to the Pattinson family home.
He just walked into the house when Justin flung his arm and slapped him on the face without a word.
Mark stood in place and looked at Justin, then he glanced at Eileen, who was on the side, and instantly knew what this was about.
Sure enough, Justin bellowed, "You’re so ballsy now that you kidnapped your own brother!"
Brother...
Haha! The irony.
When did Logan ever treat him like a brother?
Mark was not fazed by that slap since it was not the first time anyway. He wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"You still want to pretend? You thought that I kidnapped that woman, so you kidnapped Logan to blackmail me, right?"
Blackmail?
He had never blackmailed him.
Mark looked at Eileen. Her gaze was hateful as she stared at him. At that moment, Mark understood something.
She was the one who sent the message to Justin using Mark’s name.
Mark said, "No matter what you may think, I didn't do it!"
Lingo was the one who kidnapped Logan, not him, so he was right to say so.
Justin did not expect Mark to do such a horrid thing and shouted, "You're still playing dumb? Do you want me to pull up the surveillance camera at the office to see if that's your car?"
After hearing that, Mark spoke unhurriedly, "Dad, that’s my office too, so won't I know that there are cameras in the basement parking lot? If I were to kidnap him, would I be stupid enough to use my own car and let it be captured on the camera?"
"But--"
"It just so happens that I lost a car a few days ago."
Justin was speechless.
What Mark said made sense.
Mark was not stupid enough to do so.
Yet Lingo used this logic against him.
"Then why would you send that kind of text message to me?"
Mark said calmly, "If I really sent it, I won’t deny it now that you’re asking me."
Everything Mark said made sense and left them speechless.
Seeing that Justin did not speak, Mark looked at Eileen, who was behind Justin. At that moment, she was so enraged that she exploded.
Eileen looked at him accusingly and shouted, "Nonsense! These are just excuses! You’ve thought it all out since the beginning!"
"If you think so, why didn't you call the police? Isn't this the best chance to get rid of me?"
"You--"
Justin shouted at Mark, "How dare you speak to her like that!"
Mark pursed his lips, then spoke, "Dad, I'm sorry. I apologize for suspecting you of kidnapping Lyla."
Looking at his sudden change of attitude, Justin frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I’ve wrongly accused you."
"Did you find out who it was?"
