The two men exchanged glances, and one answered weakly, "Beats us. We used to be just the Lester family's chauffeurs. But now, we only do things for money."
Janet got impatient and didn't feel like arguing with them.
Long ago, Brandon had held a grudge against the Lester family and eventually settled his scores with them. Most of the members of the Lester family were either dead or punished. That included Seth, who had been sent to prison.
Moreover, Brandon had stayed out of contact with the Lester family. They had been utterly defeated. How was it possible for them to make a comeback?
Janet took a deep breath and calmed down. She said with a cold smile, "Go back and tell the Lester family this. None of the Lesters are allowed to see Tasha's child. Also, the child's surname will follow Tasha's. He will have nothing to do with the Lesters."
She sneered, "You're lucky I am the one who stopped you today. Otherwise, I doubt you can leave here alive."
She gestured to Mesue to let them go. Mesue obliged and untied their wrists.
"You should thank Mrs. Larson," Mesue scorned as she gave them two hard kicks on the butt.
"Thank you, Mrs. Larson," the two men bowed and said obediently before leaving in a hurry.
After watching the men leave, Janet found Mesue frowning at her in confusion. "Mrs. Larson, you're being softhearted again," she grumbled.
Janet sighed and explained, "It's not a big deal. Don't bother Brandon about this. If he knew the Lester family was back to cause trouble, he would definitely wipe them all out this time."
She didn't concern herself with what would happen to the Lester family. However, she didn't want to reopen Brandon's wound surrounding that family. She intended to keep mum about the incident out of love and protection for him.
