Husband plans to kill me Chapter 314

Hearing Lowell's words, I felt nothing but disgust. "We're all grown up now. Do you think I've gotten weaker?"

"What kind of greeting do you expect from me? Or how do you want me to act?"

Lowell chuckled. "Don't twist my words! I didn't say anything. Just thought it'd be nice to catch up with an old classmate."

Brett whispered from behind me, "Mom, who is this guy?"

Hearing Brett call me "Mom," Lowell turned to look at him, but his smile was chilling.

"So this is your son? I was wondering why you were walking down the street with a kid in broad daylight, buying him such expensive toys..."

He started walking toward me. "Let me take a look at your son."

"I heard you got married later on. This must be his kid, right? Let me see if he looks like him."

I frowned instantly.

Lowell definitely has a connection with Brandon!

A normal person who doesn't know me wouldn't immediately think to check if my kid looks like Brandon upon hearing that I'm married. He doesn't even know what Brandon looks like!

That one sentence was enough to reveal their connection, and they might even be working together!

I took a deep breath. "What does my son or my family situation have to do with you? If you don't want me to call the police, you'd better leave now!"

"Caroline, your personality is just like before—someone not to be messed with!"

Lowell said, but he didn't seem scared at all and continued walking toward me. "I just wanted to catch up! What's wrong with that?"

I held the toy box and pulled Brett back, constantly glancing at the shop windows along the street.

I could only hope that some kind-hearted store clerk would notice something was wrong and come out to help!

But I knew the chances were slim.

This street's shop windows were mostly for display, and Brett and I had exited through a side door. The shops here mostly had side entrances...

Few clerks would be paying attention to the side doors while also watching the main entrance!

Lowell noticed my tension and fear, and his smile deepened. "Are you afraid of me?"

"Did I leave such a deep shadow in your past?"

I shouted, "Watch your words in front of a child!"

What if he scared my Brett?

As soon as I finished speaking, Brett's voice was already trembling with tears. "Who are you? Don't you dare bully my mom!"

He broke free from my hand and stood in front of me, spreading his arms to protect me!

Seeing Brett like this, I almost cried.

In such a tense moment, he didn't care about his own fear and wanted to protect me!

But Brett's action clearly provoked Lowell.

He stopped walking forward. I looked back and realized he had cornered us.

His body was like a mountain, layers of fat stacked on top of each other. Even if Brett and I pushed together, we probably couldn't move him.

And he could block the entire path. Brett and I couldn't get away or run...

Seeing this, I felt a wave of despair. "What do you want?"

At this point, I didn't dare say anything to provoke him further.

"What do I want? Caroline, I just can't stand you!"

"If you hadn't retaliated against me and sent me to the police, I could have gotten married and had kids. I could have had a happy life!"

"You ruined it all, and now you dare ask what I want?"

Lowell said, his face full of anger, and he shouted at Brett, "Do you know what your mom was like back then?"

"We just wanted to be friends with her, and she sent us to the police!"

"Don't talk nonsense in front of my child!" My anger reached its peak as I pulled Brett back. "I know you have a connection with Brandon. I don't care what you plan to do, but if you target my child, I will make your lives a living hell!"

Even though I knew I shouldn't provoke him further, I couldn't help it.

Old grudges and new ones piled up, and the incident of him stalking me and Kathy made me realize this was far from simple.

Lowell suddenly laughed maniacally. "You think you have the power to fight us now?"

"Let me tell you, I have nothing left. If I beat your son to death here, do you think the police can do anything?"

Hearing this, Brett burst into tears, clinging to my hand.

"Mom, I want to protect you..."

Hearing Brett's words, my heart ached even more. "It's okay, don't cry. I'm not afraid. Don't be scared."

I tried to buy time, praying that Royce would come to our rescue soon.

Brett crying was expected.

After all, he's just a child.

In fact, Lowell's menacing appearance could scare even an adult with a fragile psyche, let alone my child!

"But you're still as smart as ever, figuring out my connection with Brandon!"

Lowell said, kicking a nearby trash can.

It fell over, spilling countless soda cans.

Lowell laughed. "You know, we are connected, and we have ties with others too..."

"Our conversations almost always revolve around you!"

Hearing this sent chills down my spine.

"Do you know what we talk about? How you ruined our lives!"

"You should know, everyone you implicated is now almost ruined, with criminal records, always at risk of being jailed..."

Hearing his words, I couldn't help but frown. "What are you trying to say? Are you blaming me for your miserable lives?"

"If you hadn't been a delinquent, if you hadn't bullied classmates, why would you have been sent to the police?"

"And Brandon, you should know the horrible things he did to me!"

Lowell suddenly roared, "Shut up! You have no right to explain anything to me!"

I bit my lip. He was full of rage, and if I continued, he might really get violent...

And Brett and I had no means of defense, just two large toy boxes.

I was thinking, if Lowell really attacked, how likely was it that I could use these toy boxes to protect Brett?
