When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 638: An Angry and Pitiful Woman

"Hawk, you’re really something!" Someone approached with a wine glass in hand and gave him a thumbs-up, "Escaping from Adrian Lancaster’s clutches!"

Hawk didn’t speak. The other person was full of admiration, "Surviving a catastrophe brings fortune, I toast to you, Hawk!"

Among Elias Young’s men, some revered Hawk. After all, he was ruthless in killing, executing tasks cleanly and efficiently, leaving the police without any flaws to find.

Yet a few others were wary of him, holding a skeptical attitude.

And as for Elias Young? He showed no emotional changes, nobody knew what he was thinking.

The news of the banquet quickly reached Adrian Lancaster’s ears, along with some details being reported one by one.

At the banquet scene.

"Hawk, how did you fall into Adrian Lancaster’s hands?" Elias Young didn’t reproach; he just asked curiously, "I’ve always trusted your work."

"Mr. Young, we’ve got a mole on our side." Hawk’s face was cold and grave.

"Oh?"

"I personally saw Adrian Lancaster get into a car with a pregnant woman, tracked them until they got out. I watched him leave, leaving the woman behind."

"I didn’t expect that she was a woman disguised as a man, wearing Faye Turner’s clothes. Adrian Lancaster had known about our operation in advance, so we caught the wrong person and got followed by him."

Elias Young believed what he said.

But hearing this news, he was startled and apprehensive, having a mole among them? This is... a big deal!

This matter drew Elias Young’s attention.

Brandon Lancaster was captured, and his mother, Melanie Lancaster, waited until 8 p.m., hoping for good news from Elias Young.

Yet he hadn’t called her, and she didn’t know what was happening on his end.

With a restless and anxious heart, she dialed his number. The ringback tone played for a while before it was answered.

"Hello." Elias Young’s voice came through.

As soon as the call connected, Melanie heard lively noises on the other end, the sound of toasts clinking glasses, and cheerful conversations, starkly contrasting with her current mood.

"Who is it? Why aren’t you speaking?" Clearly, Elias Young was too excited to check the caller ID.

When he moved the phone away to check, Melanie spoke, "What are you doing?"

Elias Young didn’t answer, instead, he directly asked, "What’s up?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Hearing his obviously impatient tone, Melanie was very displeased, but she suppressed her resentment, "Do you have a plan for Brandon?"

"I’m busy right now; we’ll talk about his issue tomorrow." With that, he hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy tone from the other end, Melanie almost crushed her phone in anger! Fury flared in her eyes.

She was truly both angry and pitiful.

Soon, a knock on the door sounded.

Melanie turned back, and Eastwood came in, his expression serious as he said to her, "Miss Lancaster, Elias Young is hosting a banquet for Hawk, they say he escaped from Adrian Lancaster’s hands, surviving a calamity brings fortune indeed."

Melanie furrowed her brows, suddenly becoming uncommonly sober, "Escaped?"

"Yes."

"Adrian Lancaster wouldn’t let go of his own brother, why would he let Hawk go?" She couldn’t believe it, "Caught by Adrian Lancaster and still escaped? How is that possible?"

Hearing her words, Eastwood also sensed something amiss.

However, whether Hawk escaped or not had nothing to do with the two of them; what mattered to them was whether Brandon could get out.

Thinking of her son, Melanie immediately felt like an ant on a hot pan, "Seems like... I’ll have to turn to Eliza Hayes."

Elias Young couldn’t be relied upon.
