Karma Doesn’t Sleep The Revenge Queen Rises novel Chapter 453

Mr. Baker thought it over for a moment, then gave a quiet nod. He glanced at Felix.

Felix nodded back, got up, and headed for the back door.

Less than ten minutes later, Felix came back, leading a young man whose hands were tied behind his back. The guy was tanned and built solid.

“Let me go!” Patrick was furious, struggling hard. “I told you, I’m just here waiting for our little miss! What gives you the right to grab me?”

He fought against the two bodyguards holding him, but when he looked up and saw Hank, his whole body shook with rage and he almost broke free.

“Hank, you bastard! You’re still alive? You broke my dad’s leg. I swear, you’ll pay for that in blood!”

Mr. Baker’s face darkened and one of the bodyguards pulled out a stun baton, but Amelia cut in sharply, “Don’t touch him!”

She was already stepping forward, standing protectively in front of Patrick.

Nathan couldn’t sit still anymore. He jumped to his feet and moved over to stand with Amelia, making it clear he had her back.

“Let’s talk this out, okay? No one needs to get hurt. Amelia’s here as my guest. If anything happens to her, I’ll hold every single one of you responsible.”

The Morris family’s reputation was no joke. Nathan might not have as much clout as his brother Aaron, but he was still a Morris, and even in the Baker home, that meant something.

Patrick looked at the small girl standing up for him and felt a rush of gratitude and emotion. He tried to explain, his voice shaking a little. “Miss, I swear I never went near the Baker house. I did exactly what you told me—I waited at the corner, then suddenly a bunch of guys came out of nowhere and grabbed me!”

“Mr. Baker, let me explain. The man we brought in is Patrick. You might not know him, but you definitely know his father, Danny.”

Mr. Baker’s eyes narrowed, his face unreadable. “You mean the butler from the Sadinton family?”

“That’s right,” Hank said. “The Linscott family has served the Sadinton family for five generations as butlers. Danny left the Sadinton family twenty years ago, but the families were always close—no secrets between them.”

“That means the Linscotts know everything about the Sadinton family. This girl, pretending to be my daughter, found Danny and Patrick, learned about the secret hidden in ‘Flying Phoenix,’ and together they planned this scam to win your trust! They’re trying to use your kindness for an old friend’s orphan to get rich off you!”

“Hank, you’re full of crap!” Patrick burst out, barely able to contain himself. “You’re just making stuff up! Aren’t you scared the real miss will come back and haunt you for this?”

“Enough!” Hank snapped, glaring at Patrick like he was totally disappointed. “The Sadinton family treated your Linscott family like their own, and this is how you repay them? If anyone should worry about payback, it’s you traitors!”
