A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 164 Let's Get Away From Here (Part Two)

"Hanson..." Tears welled up in Essie's eyes and her heart raced. "I've sent the divorce papers to him, but I haven't received his signature. I'm so worried..." she said. She lowered her head. It was obvious that the reason why Zac wanted to buy Bella out was that he did not want a divorce. He wanted her to be a substitute for the rest of her life.

He caressed her head and comforted her. "We'll go to Milan first, then we will find a lawyer to talk to him. If it fails, we can file a unilateral lawsuit to finalize the divorce." Hanson knew very well that Zac tried to buy his company to force him to give Essie up, but he was not going to let Zac get what he wanted. Since Bella was now in the hands of Mrs. Xia and her daughters, and they had made a mess of it, Hanson would have to give it up anyway. If Zac really wanted it, he could just take it. For Hanson, it would be enough to just be with Essie.

Essie nodded her head. Even though Zac was powerful, she would find a way to get the divorce done. She may be stupid, but she was not stupid enough to sacrifice her marriage and love at the mercy of others.

Hanson took her hand and put the ring on her ring finger before pulling her into a tight hug.

By the time Hanson got back to his apartment, he had already completed the requirements for going abroad.

Meanwhile, Essie had already decided to move out of the leased apartment, and taken all of her stuff there in Hanson's apartment.

Once Hanson had booked the flight ticket, all that was left for him to do was to fly with her to Italy this Saturday. Once they got there, they would finally be able to have a fresh start.

He carried out all of this under the table. He was careful not to let Jobson and Zac find out about his plans. But what he didn't know was that Zac was already aware of everything.

Zac was actually surprised. He didn't expect Hanson to be so determined. It seemed that he underestimated Hanson's feelings for Essie. But he couldn't let them get what they wanted just like that. In this life, he was the only one who could have Essie.

"Inform Jobson," he said coldly.

"Right away." The man nodded.

On Saturday...

Hanson finished packing his luggage and was about to go to the apartment to pick up Essie. However, when he opened the door, he saw Jobson with four bodyguards in tow.

"Where are you going?" His father's face was livid with rage and his brows were knitted together.

"I'm going out for a walk," Hanson said in a plain tone, trying to keep calm.

"Really? Then is it necessary to transfer all your assets overseas?" Jobson roared at him. "Bella is in a life or death situation. How could you even think of running away with another woman? How could I have such an unfilial son like you?"

Hanson let out a cold laugh and said, "Yes, you are the reason I was born. But have you ever raised me and taken care of me? If you only had another son with that woman, you never would have acknowledged me as your own son! Do you think that I am just an ambitious person who only wants to get Bella? Well, I am telling you now, I am not interested in your company. Don't expect me to save it at the expense of marrying the woman I love!"

"Stop speaking, you evil creature!" Annoyed, Jobson raised his hand and slapped Hanson across the face.

Five fingerprints were left behind on Hanson's pale face. He gritted his teeth and slowly squeezed out a few words. "Get out of the way now that you're done slapping me."

With a snort, Jobson said, "You are not allowed to leave the house today. As for that woman, if you don't get married to Sunny, you will never see her in your life!"

Now, Hanson was like an angry cheetah. He rushed to his father and grabbed him by the collar. "If you dare to touch a single hair on Essie's head, I will destroy Bella!"

"If you dare to defy me, you should know who you are first." Jobson looked at Hanson with a cold and cruel expression on his face. He told the bodyguards to seize Hanson. At once, one of the bodyguards tried to grab him, but Hanson fought him with all his might. Another one of the men took advantage of his inattention to punch him on the back of his neck. He immediately fell to the ground in shock.

"You two keep an eye on him." Jobson ordered two of the bodyguards to watch Hanson before leading the other two to find Essie.

Essie had already finished packing her luggage and was just waiting for Hanson.

She heard the doorbell ring and thought it was him, so she quickly went to open the door.

When the sight of Jobson greeted her, she was shocked.

"Mr. Jobson, what can I do for you?"

Jobson looked at her from head to toe and said, "Since you know who I am, you should already know why I came here."

Hearing that, Essie's heart contracted even tighter. It seemed like he had found out that she was about to leave the country with Hanson.

"Where is Hanson? I want to see him." She tried her best to keep calm.

"You wouldn't be able to see him before he gets married." Jobson snorted. The look in his eyes was teeming with coldness. He signaled to the bodyguards beside him, and the two of them quickly went forward and seized Essie.

"What are you doing? Let me go!" Essie struggled hard, but the bodyguards were so strong that there was just no way for her to win in a fight against them. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"I won't let you ruin Hanson's wedding. As long as his wedding goes smoothly, I will let you go," Jobson said. Then, he let the two men catch her and walked outside.

"This is illegal detention. Aren't you afraid that I will call the police?" This time, Essie managed to raise her voice, hoping that her neighbors would hear her and call the police to save her.

Jobson said with a cold smile, "It would be better for you to save your energy. You don't have to shout. It won't work. I am the law in Yang City."

Essie's face turned pale. He was right. She couldn't win against a man as rich and powerful as him. Hanson must be under his control now, and he wanted to blackmail him with her.
