Chapter 1070 The Meaning of Family
Lena was not surprised by this. “If you have been to the mountain village
where they live, you will know that I am the only hope in their muddy life. If
they want to escape from there, they can only hold onto me.”
Seeing that Lena was sad, Gideon quickly changed the topic and said, “Don’t
worry. I will not let them have the opportunity to come out and entangle you
again this time.”
Lena nodded as she looked at him.
But what they didn’t expect was that Lauren actually discovered this matter.
As Lena and Gideon returned home, Lauren quickly welcomed them.
Lauren didn’t even glance at Gideon but took Lena’s hand and said, “Are you
okay? I heard you encountered some trouble when you came back.”
Lena saw Lauren cared about her, explaining to her, “It’s just a little trouble.
Gideon has already helped me solve everything.”
Lauren didn’t believe her words. “If he could really solve it, he wouldn’t let you
encounter any trouble.”
Gideon doubted why his family status plummeted as Lena appeared.
Not only Lauren but also Mervyn and Owen asked Lena about this matter.
It was not until then that Lena suddenly understood Blake and Clare’s
purpose.
They specifically blocked Lena at the company so that this matter could
attract the McKinneys.
If the McKinneys were dissatisfied with Lena, they could take this opportunity
to terminate the engagement with Lena.
The next morning, Lauren carried her bag and went out.
Lena didn’t take this matter to heart, thinking Lauren was going to handle
wedding-related matters.
But soon, the police called to inform Lena that Blake and Clare had been
released on bail, and it was Lauren who helped them.
Upon hearing this news, Lena was taken aback. Then, she understood that
Lauren was helping her solve Blake and Clare’s trouble.
An indescribable emotion surged in Lena’s heart, and she knew that Lauren
could stand idly by and let Gideon handle the matter.
But Lauren solved the problem as quickly as possible just to prevent Lena
from suffering more injustice.
As Lauren returned, she saw Lena’s eyes full of tears.
Lauren didn’t expect Lena to receive the news so quickly, so she had to
explain to her, “I took someone to warn them and gave them a small sum of
money to ensure that they won’t appear in front of you.”
Lauren said and placed a promissory note in front of Lena.
Lena picked up the promissory note and saw that it was actually written by
Blake and Clare. The promissory note stated that they had borrowed one
million dollars from Lena and also indicated the return date.
Lena understood that they would never come to repay the money.
“Actually, you don’t have to spend so much money…” Lena clenched the
promissory note in her hand.
Lauren was completely different from Blake and Clare. If it weren’t for Lena,
Lauren might never have had any interaction with such people in her lifetime.
“I understand it. Don’t worry. They won’t appear in front of us.”
Even if it was not to repay this one million dollars, they would never appear in
front of Lena.
Lauren was worried that Lena would have a psychological burden and
comforted her, saying, “No matter what happens, we will definitely be by your
side. This is the meaning of family.”
Lena looked at Lauren and nodded seriously.
