Please Let Me Go

Chapter 3 Break One of His Legs

The comer turned out to be Channing Darnell! He was wearing a neat suit and a pair of leather shoes,

yet the inexplicable treacherous look on his face could not be concealed. Adelaide had not seen that

face for four years, and she felt disgusted seeing it again.

Yet her heart started to leap and she wondered why he was here. She then raised her head and looked

towards Clarissa. Seeing her complacent look, she finally understood. It was her who brought

Channing here. Was Clarissa, her dear sister from another mother who shared the same father with

her thinking that setting traps for her was not enough, and she wanted to doom her to death?

“Adelaide Swift, you kept on saying you have nothing to do with Channing Darnell, but now he’s coming

to beg me to let you go so you two can be together, what can you say for yourself?” Antonio bawled.

Adelaide was flooded with anxiety. Antonio could still let her off with only Clarissa’s words, now that

Channing had been here and if he wanted to say something that was disadvantageous to her, she

would be doomed! Her mind raced. “After four years of not meeting each other, Mr. Darnell seems to be

more and more energetic.” She abruptly suppressed the uneasiness she felt and spoke. She sounded

awkward and courteous, and secretly wanted to trick him. She could not bear to just wait for her doom

without doing anything!

Yet Channing quickly responded. He smiled flatteringly and said, “Are you still mad at me? Adelaide. I

really have something to do back in Canada, but now I’m here to fetch you.” Anger sparked inside

Adelaide. He had colluded with Clarissa as expected! She wrinkled her eyebrows. Seeing Channing’s

detestable look, she could only forcibly suppress the disgust she felt and pretended to speak gently.

“I want to go with you too, yet I’m Mr. Baron’s woman. If I go with you just like that, Mr. Baron would

lose his face.” She turned and looked towards Antonio. “Antonio, it’s my fault regarding this, and I have

to pay the price. So why don’t you break one of Mr. Darnell’s hands?” She had made her stance clear.

If she did hook up with Channing, why would she put the person she loved in danger? She turned

towards Channel and smiled, yet the smile made the man shivered.

Antonio was obviously surprised that she would say that, even Clarissa was taken aback. Fear was all

over Channing’s face, and he trembled while staring at Antonio’s gloomy look with a slightly pale face. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Adelaide ignored him and once again turned towards Antonio. She frowned. That was her last gamble--

-she was gambling whether Antonio would believe her or not. God knows she only pretended to be

calm and she was already filled with apprehension. Clarissa’s move was cruel enough. If she had said

something wrong, she would be doomed forever.

Meanwhile, Antonio was watching Adelaide like watching fun and an intrigued look suddenly appeared

on his face. He suddenly felt that Adelaide’s eyes had changed, from naïve to deep, even he could no

longer read them. “Since my dear wife has said so, I can’t possibly decline, right?” He smiled like a

cunning fox and locked his eyes on Channing. Channing was backing up in fear yet a bunch of strong

bodyguards had blocked his way behind him. He could not escape and he could only bite the bullet and

listen to the rest of his words.

Antonio then said with an icy look, “Break one of his legs.” Having heard his words, two bodyguards

immediately grabbed Channing while another approached him with a mace one step at a time.

Channing would never have conceived that and he panicked. “What are you doing? This is illegal!” He

then struggled hard and there was intense horror in his eyes.

“Illegal? Is it?” Antonio shoved his hands into his pockets and slowly took some steps forward. He

looked at Channing and said, “Is money more powerful or law? I believe Mr. Darnell knows more about

that than me?” Channing could only shiver without being able to speak a word. Money is invincible and

he knew that better than anyone. His face became cadaverous as he knew how great the power of the

Baron family was. Not to mention breaking his leg, it was not impossible to take his life without notice.

With a moment of thought, he grabbed the leg of Antonio’s pants and said, “Mr. Baron, please let me

off. I have nothing to do with Adelaide, I only do it because of someone’s order!”

“Order?” Antonio’s eyes turned gloomy and without even letting him speak once more, Clarissa

suddenly shrilled in pain, covered her tummy and squatted down. Her face turned pale and she placed

one of her hands on the tea table while trembling in agony.
