Maddox got out of the car under Lachlan's confused gaze.
“What's going on? Didn't I ask you to leave?” Lachlan roared.
Maddox ignored Lachlan and went up to Skylar. In a respectful tone, he said, “Mr. Norton, Mrs. Dunn and her son are in the car.”
Lachlan figured out what was going on when he saw how respectful Maddox was toward Skylar. “How dare you betray me?”
Lachlan was infuriated, and he wanted to slap Maddox across the face.
Skylar smiled and threatened, “Mr.
Dunn, calm down. Your wife and your son are in the car. If you fight back, I can't guarantee their safety.”
Lachlan immediately retracted his hand and stared at Maddox furiously. “Why? Why did you betray me?”
Lachlan didn't know why Maddox would betray him because Maddox had been serving him for more than a decade.
“Old Mr. Dunn, the Dunn family is no match for the Norton family. If you continue to fight, you'll die. Why don't you just bow down to the Norton family? It's better to serve them than to die, no?” Maddox uttered shamelessly.
Lachlan was utterly infuriated, but he kept silent.
With his wife and his son in Skylar's hands, he dared not act rashly.
“Mr. Dunn, all you need to do now is nod. As soon as you promise to submit yourselves to the Norton family, I can guarantee your wife and your son's safety.” Skylar looked at Lachlan smugly because he knew Lachlan would definitely do as he was told. He's surely going to give up everything to me.
Lachlan glanced at his wife and his son in the car before sighing and nodding helplessly. “You're indeed stronger than your dad. I'll listen to the Norton family's orders. But you have to promise me you'll keep my family safe.”
“Don't worry, Mr. Dunn. I'll promise you just that. From now on, we're a family. Why would I hurt them? But you're well aware of Howard's temper. In order to prevent him from causing trouble when he wakes up, I'll keep him locked up for a while! To show my sincerity, I'll leave your wife with you!” Skylar waved, and his men immediately went to drag Lachlan's wife out of the car.
