Of course, Shaun had already talked to Gregory. Nolan was in Shaun's grasp, and he could do anything to Nolan.
Shaun was just upset with Audrey's attitude. Even now, she was still caring about Nolan, and that disgusted Shaun.
After all, he was the head of the Baxter family and Gregory's godson at that moment, and he had a bright future in front of him.
Either one of these reasons would be enough to make countless women love him. So, he didn't understand why Audrey still didn't care about him.
He looked at her and seemed upset. "It won't be easy to deal with Nolan's matter. However, it's not impossible. After all, the person he has offended is Mr. Lynch!"
Audrey said solemnly, "I know that, but didn't you give me your word? You said you could save Nolan if I became your girlfriend. Now that you're the head of the Baxters, isn't it easy for you to fix things? What's wrong? Don't tell me you're going back on your word."
Shaun immediately shook his head. "I'm not planning on doing that. I just want to tell you there has been a change in plan. I visited Mr. Lynch. Do you know how furious he was? However, we can still fix things."
When he mentioned that, he lifted his head proudly.
As for Audrey, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she looked at him happily. "That's great!"
He scoffed. "Oh, Audrey, you're too naive. I'll be honest with you. Godfather hates Nolan to the core, and I tried to talk to him. However, he's determined to kill Nolan, and he's planning to do it painfully. What else do you think I can do about it?"
When she heard that, her face became pale instantly. Her body felt weak, and it felt like her world was turning black.
Seeing how miserable she looked, Shaun was upset. However, the more Audrey cared about Nolan's life, the more obedient she would be toward Nolan. So, that was enough for him.
"Since I've given you my word, I'll definitely keep it. However, I'll be put in a spot, Audrey," Shaun said.
He pretended to look aggrieved and acted like he didn't want to do it.
However, Audrey felt as if she had seen hope. So, she grabbed his arm tightly. "I'm begging you, Mr. Baxter. Please save him, alright?"
Shaun nodded forcefully and said, "Fine. However, what if you go back on your word after I do my best to save him?"
She said through gritted teeth, "You have my word, Mr. Baxter. If you still don't believe me, then tell me how I can make you trust me. As long as you can save Nolan and not hurt him, I'll do anything you want."
Meanwhile, Shaun just looked at her coldly and said through gritted teeth, "I hate it when someone else is in my woman's mind! I hate it more when the woman I like thinks about someone else and won't let me touch her.
"Audrey, do you think I'm a pushover? I'm warning you. If you piss me off, I'll kill him right now!"
Audrey started shaking, and her eyes teared up. "I'll give you everything you want. Isn't that enough for you?"
She closed her eyes and looked desperate. However, she stopped resisting. It seemed as if she was letting Shaun do whatever he wanted with her.
Even so, her tears, reactions, and shaking body showed how angry she was. She was struggling desperately, even thinking that Shaun was disgusting.
At that moment, he lost all interest and pushed her to the couch.
He said coldly, "I'm warning you: learn to control your emotions. I don't want to feel like you're being forced! It'll be Kara's birthday party tomorrow. I want you to tell Nolan that you hate him in front of everyone. Then, tell him that you like me the most!
"I shall wait to see your beautiful smile as you kiss me in public tomorrow!"
