Chapter 558 Never Afraid of Danger * finished Though things had been calm for the past few years, the shadow hanging over the Ginger family never truly lifted. The danger had never gone away-just gone quiet.
Technically speaking, Jean and the rest of the Ginger family were still living under threat at any given moment.
But the person who had chased her so relentlessly today... were they really part of the sgroup from years ago? Jean didn't think so.
It didn't feel the sat all. The ones from before had been far more ruthless-like a knife at the throat, with no hope of survival. Today's pursuers didn't have that sdeadly weight.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhich meant... today's attackers were new.
New enemies? Seriously? What the hell? Jean let out a sigh of frustration. I've been minding my own business, living quietly and low-key. Who the hell did I piss off?! Ludwig noticed the shifting expression on her face-tight, thoughtful, then suddenly drained-and couldn't help but chuckle. His tone was soft as he spoke.
"Don't worry. I'll figure out who was behind this today. Actually... I kind of want to know myself." Jean's eyes were dull, her voice flat. "What's the point in knowing if you can't kill them right away?" Ludwig raised an eyebrow, smiling faintly. "Who says we can't kill them?" Jean glanced at him, smiled back, and said, "I was joking. If it's too dangerous, just forget it." She reached out and gently grasped his arm.
"No matter what happens, I don't want you to get hurt because of me." Ludwig stilled.
His gaze dropped to her hand, resting lightly against his sleeve. Something in his expression softened, his eyes darkening just slightly with a flicker of emotion.
He had never feared danger.
If it meant helping Jean, it was worth it.
They left the empty highway and ended up at a small, rundown restaurant tucked away in the old district. It didn't look like much, but it had private booths.
Jean and Ludwig slid into one of the rooms, ordered a few dishes, and locked the door once everything was served.
"So," Ludwig began, cutting straight to the point. "Why did you want to meet?" 1/2 Chapter 558 Never Afraid of Danger Jean hadn't told him anything in advance. Now that he'd asked, she didn't beat around the bush.
"I want to leave the Ginger family." 40% Finished Ludwig didn't look particularly surprised. He just looked at her calmly.
"You've seen the news about the Ginger family lately, haven't you?" Jean asked, lips curled in a faint smile. "About my background?" Ludwig nodded. "I've heard a little."
Jean raised an eyebrow. "So you're not totally cut off from the world after e you alt What do you think about it?" Ludwig stared into her eyes for a moment, then answered plainly, "I don't have any thoughts." He added a beat later, "As long as you're okay, nothing else matters." Jean's eyes curved in a soft smile. "So, you'll helpthen?" Ludwig nodded. "Of course."
"Then helpfind a place to live," Jean said, tilting her head. "I've got the money, so don't worry about that. But don't have time-or the I energy-to judge if a place is secure. I don't care about anything else," she added seriously. "Safety comes first.” Too many eyes were on her now. Staying alive had becthe top priority.
Ludwig's lips curved slightly. "Don't worry. I know exactly what to do."
Later that night, Ludwig personally dropped her off near the Gingerm family estate before disappearing into the night. Jean had delayed going has long as she could, but she was out of time.
