"Lilac was taken away by Ayna?"Margot froze, her mind felt as if it had exploded.Curtis left with two sentences, "Stay at home and wait for me, don't worry, I'll bring our daughter back.""I won't."Realizing the situation, Margot hurriedly got out of bed and changed her clothes in a fluster."I'm going with you."Knowing that she was worried too, Curtis didn't want her to stay home feeling uneasy.So the two of them rushed to the Crosby residence together.When they arrived, the living room of the Crosby residence was crowded with people.Everyone looked anxious and restless.Especially Martin, who was clutching his cane, his face flushed with anger.Anya's ten-year-old son, Ken, was kneeling in front of everyone, crying as he recounted the entire process of his mother taking Lilac out of the mansion.He said, "At that time, Mom told me that as long as I took Lilac out, our dad would come back."I didn't know where Mom was taking Lilac."Mom also told me to put the medi
"Yes, it's all my fault."Linda's words were sharp, making Ashley deeply sorry.She grabbed Curtis' hand and cried, "I'm sorry, Curt, it's my fault for not taking care of Lilac. I'm sorry. If anything happens to my poor granddaughter, I won't want to live anymore."Perhaps because she was too overwhelmed, Ashley's vision darkened for a moment and she almost fainted.Fortunately, Elias was there to support her.Looking at his son, Elias also felt guilty."Son, it's my fault. If something really happens to my little granddaughter, your mother and I...""Enough, what's the point of saying these things now?"Curtis interrupted his father and looked at Margot."You stay here and take care of Mom, Dad and Grandpa. I'll go look for Lilac. Don't worry, I'll bring Lilac back for sure."Of course, Margot wanted to go with him.But where would she go to look?If she went out and caused trouble, she could only promise Curtis to stay home and comfort the elders.Curtis didn't want to d
With no time to spare for the elders at home, Margot huddled against the wall, trembling with fear.May God bless her Lilac.Please, don't let anything happen to her.…Two hours later, as Curtis was rushing out of the city, he received a phone call from Anya.The caller sounded agitated and urgent, "Curtis, your daughter is with me. Tell them to stay away from me and stop following me, or I'll take my daughter with me to die."As Curtis tracked the caller's location, he tried to reassure her in a soothing tone, "Aunt Anya, calm down and don't do anything reckless. I promise to do whatever you ask, but please don't hurt my daughter.""Then make them stop chasing me. If they chase after me again, I'm capable of doing anything.""Alright, I'll tell them to stop."Seeing that he was getting closer to Anya, Curtis urged the driver to speed up.He quickly contacted the police and asked them to slow down and not to pursue too aggressively.The police received the instructions and
Curtis asked anxiously, "When are you going to give my daughter back to me?"Anya smiled coldly, "That depends on when you get things done."She hung up the phone.Curtis pounded his fist on the car and called the police to stop the pursuit, as long as they could pinpoint Anya's location.He quickly sent someone to bail Lucas out. He had to rescue his child first before anything else.Then he instructed Chester to rush back to the company to prepare the property transfer agreement and have it signed by him.Calvin was unaware that Anya had strapped the child with a time bomb.He also didn't know about the agreement between Anya and Curtis.His people tracked Anya for hundreds of miles and finally forced her car to stop at the coast.Anya hadn't expected that someone would block her way.And there were quite a few people.She calmly stopped the car, took the child strapped with a time bomb from the passenger seat, pushed open the car door and got out.Looking at the car in f
Hearing Anya's words, Curtis' heart was in his throat. He cried out urgently, "Aunt Anya, please calm down. Didn't we agree that I would help you rescue Lucas and make your child the heir of the Crosby family, and then you would return my daughter? "I've already sent someone to bail out Lucas, and I've already arranged for the preparation of a property transfer agreement. Please don't hurt my daughter. Aunt Anya, I beg you not to hurt her. She's only three years old. If you're still not satisfied, come at me instead. I'm willing to trade my life for my daughter's."Fearing that Anya might change her mind, Curtis signaled the driver to drive straight towards them.He checked the location. Anya's car had already stopped on the coastal road.The distance between them was gradually closing in.When they finally arrived at Anya's location, Curtis saw many people blocking her way. Among them was Calvin.They completely surrounded Anya in the middle, with a cliff overlooking the sea
But...Before they could achieve their goals, Anya, in her desperate and irrational state, recklessly drove the car directly at Lilac's fragile body.Just as Curtis was a few feet away from his daughter, Lilac's body was sent flying through the air by the car.Finally, she landed heavily on top of the car, and both she and the car crashed through the guardrail and plunged off the cliff into the sea."No!"Curtis' eyes widened in despair as he screamed in agony.As he watched his daughter and the car plummet into the sea, he rushed forward without hesitation and jumped in after them."Curtis!"Calvin ran after him, trying to stop him, but he was too late.Standing on the side of the road, he watched as the car plunged into the sea. Perhaps because Anya had pressed the switch of the timed bomb, the car exploded.Curtis and Lilac's figures were also caught up in the explosion.The once calm sea was now churned up to several tens of yards high by the explosion. For a moment, the
Calvin was overcome with tears and knelt there in utter despair. What was he going to do? Both Lilac and Curtis were dead. How would he explain this to his sister when he returned? He couldn't accept such a tragedy, and he dared not believe that he had seen Curtis and Lilac leave with his own eyes. He collapsed to the ground, shaking with sobs. Meanwhile, back at the Crosby residence, Margot felt as if her heart was being crushed by a millstone. She struggled to breathe from the pain. She couldn't straighten up. Tears streamed uncontrollably down her face. Laura walked over to her and held her up. "Margot, are you okay?" Margot couldn't say a word. She was just crouched down on the floor, clutching her chest tightly. She felt really uncomfortable. She didn't know if Curtis had managed to save their daughter. She was afraid that something might have happened to them. "Margot, don't worry. Curt is so capable; he will definitely bring Lilac back. I see you're sweat
Calvin should have known this would be the result. As his subordinates helped him into the car, he still couldn't accept the fact that Curtis and Lilac were gone. He pulled out his phone and looked at the screen that showed the incoming call from Margot. He didn't dare to answer. He was afraid his sister couldn't handle the truth. Tears streamed down his face as he looked up. His men drove off. On the way back, Calvin was in excruciating pain. When he arrived at the Crosby residence at 10:00 pm, he couldn't hide the tragic news, though he didn't want to give Margot bad news.Finally, with heavy steps, he got out of the car and walked to the front door of the mansion. Hearing that someone had come with updates, Margot rushed to the door. When she saw Calvin from a distance in the garden, she ran to him. She grabbed him and asked eagerly, "Calvin, where are Lilac and Curtis? Why are you alone? Weren't you with them? Or did you not find them?" Seeing Margot so anxious t
