My Great Escape Led Me to You (Emily Blair) novel Chapter 1276

But the very next moment, he realized just how wrong he was.

Andrew Lane messaged him, Got it. I’ll be there in half an hour.

Benjamin Gomez should have felt satisfied, but instead, his mood soured. His face clouded over with annoyance. He almost let out a laugh, the kind that comes when you’re so irritated it’s absurd.

He honestly wanted to know what kind of magic Emily Blair had worked on these men. It was like she’d cast a spell and made them forget about everything else. They would do anything for her, no questions asked.

Benjamin scoffed to himself. There was no point getting worked up over them. As long as he got what he wanted, that was enough.

He typed out a reply, calm and to the point. Got it. I’ll wait.

As soon as he sent the message, he switched over to his chat with Tristan Davis. Very good, I’m pleased so far. But now I need you to get in touch with Rose Ward and her grandmother. You know what I’m after.

Tristan replied right away. I already reached out. She’s waiting to hear what you need. Just tell me.

Benjamin didn’t bother softening his words. Have Rose and her grandmother withdraw the lawsuit and sign a letter of forgiveness. Do whatever it takes to get Isabella’s sentence reduced as much as possible. You get what I mean? If you don’t, ask a lawyer. I want you helping Isabella. Get her out.

Tristan answered, I’ll talk to them.

Benjamin took a deep breath, then sent another message. I want to see a letter of forgiveness with Rose and her grandmother’s thumbprints on it in ten minutes. If I don’t see it in ten minutes, I’ll send you another Emily Blair video. Do you get me?

Tristan saw the message and felt his chest tighten.

He knew exactly what that meant. The last time Benjamin had sent a video, Emily Blair had ended up with a cut on her arm. Another video would probably be the same, or worse. Benjamin was making his threat clear.

Elizabeth nodded, feeling grateful. They didn’t waste another second and hung up.

As soon as the call ended, Rose explained everything to her grandmother. Both of them understood what was at stake and agreed without a second thought. They knew the fairness they had now was all because of Emily. They owed her, and with Emily in danger because of their situation, there was no way they could just sit back. They were ready to do whatever was needed.

Once her grandmother agreed, Rose called their lawyer over and together, they started drafting the letter of forgiveness.

With the lawyer’s help, Rose and her grandmother finished the document, pressed their thumbprints on it, and snapped a photo to send to Tristan Davis.

Eight minutes had passed.

No time to waste. Tristan immediately forwarded the photo.
