The housekeeper whispered in a state of panic, “Young Master Snow came with many Snowden members to barge into the manor. None of the Liona members is around tonight. You need to go out now. It’s almost impossible to stop them at the gate.”Shaun’s expression changed.After Catherine, who was on the bed, vaguely heard what the housekeeper said, her sleepiness vanished. She promptly dragged herself out of bed. “Why does he want to barge into the manor?”“He said that… he wants you to hand Sarah over,” the housekeeper said with difficulty as he rested his eyes on Shaun.Shaun was dumbfounded, and a hint of vexation crossed his handsome face. Catherine was taken aback. “Is Sarah missing?” “I think so,” the housekeeper responded with a murmur.“You stay here with the kids. I’ll go out for a while.” After Shaun reminded Catherine, he returned to his room and put on a coat. Then, he headed to the gate.By the time he arrived, the security guards at the gate could not stop the other p
A grave look washed over Shaun’s face. “Rodney, you can’t simply barge into the manor.” “Shaun, you might have Titus and my uncle as your biggest support. Even so, Titus has gone abroad and my uncle isn’t your uncle.” Rodney glared at Shaun furiously. “I don’t wish to be on bad terms with you either, but you forced me to do this.”“I forced you?” Shaun was thoroughly disappointed in him.The Snowden members rummaged through the cupboards in the manor. Even Old Madam Hill and Old Master Hill woke with a start in the middle of the night.“Rodney, what’s going on? It’s the middle of the night.” Old Master Hill fixed his eyes on Rodney coldly. At this moment, he still did not know what was happening.“Nothing, Grandpa.” After Shaun said to him, the Liona members finally arrived.The members of Snowden and Liona began to fight each other in the manor.After the police were notified about it, they hurried over and settled the matter.However, Rodney accused Shaun and Catherine of ki
Shaun shook his head. “I can tell you that I intended to attack the day Sarah went to the airport. Her disappearance today has nothing to do with me.”Chester believed him. “It’s obvious. If you had done something, you would’ve expected Rodney to bring his men over for a search. Based on your character, you would’ve carefully assigned people early on. He wouldn’t have had a chance to barge into the Hill family’s manor.”Shaun sighed. He smiled bitterly. “You understand me best.”It was unfortunate that Rodney understood Shaun less despite knowing him for so long. “Rodney understands you too, but… He always becomes irrational when it comes to matters that involve Sarah.” Chester’s voice sounded helpless too.“Say no more. Actually, there’s already no more trust between Rodney and me,” Shaun said mockingly, “But I’m curious about who kidnapped Sarah.”“Maybe she has other enemies she has offended.” Chester took a drag of the cigarette. “I did some investigation in the hospital. He
After pausing for a moment, the subordinate muttered, “Actually, the other party shouldn’t have made a move at this time. There are security cameras everywhere in the hospital. It’s easy to leave traces behind.”Chester took a long drag of his cigarette. That was right. They should not have taken action at this time. It was too hasty. Even Shaun did not make a move.“Okay, I got it. You can go out. Keep an eye on the progress on Rodney’s side. Inform me immediately if any situation arises.”After the subordinate left, Chester dialed a number. “Find out Eliza’s movements last night. I need the information in detail as soon as possible. No matter what method you use, give it to me within 20 minutes.”During that period, Chester kept standing in front of the window. Many incidents flashed across his mind. For example, when he went to the club two days ago, he saw Freya and Eliza drinking there. The bartender said Eliza had crushed a wine glass with her hands.He recalled Eliza
“It seems like you don’t really understand your friend,” Chester said sarcastically. “I admit that I don’t know Eliza well, but at least I understand that she’s not a two-faced person. Although she’s a person of few words, she definitely prioritizes friendship. I’m willing to sacrifice anything for her too.” Freya was anxious. She did not want to beat about the bush anymore. “Just be honest with me. If not, I can call Eliza and ask her myself.”“You won’t be able to contact her now.” One of Chester’s hands rested on the steering wheel. He said calmly, “Did Catherine tell you about Sarah’s disappearance?”Freya widened her eyes. “Sarah has gone missing?”Chester understood when he saw her expression. “Sarah went missing last night. It looks like Catherine didn’t tell you because she didn’t want to disturb your sleep. Last night, it was as if Rodney had gone insane. He brought Snowden’s men to the Hill family’s manor and created a stir. He thought it was Shaun who kidnapped Sarah. I
Chester closed the car’s windows and glanced at the time. “Sarah has gone missing for a whole night. Rodney is very anxious. I reckon within half an hour, Rodney will be able to locate Eliza.”Freya’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing that. “He cares about Sarah so much. If something happens to Sarah…”“Eliza’s whole life will be ruined,” Chester continued. His voice was icy. “One entire night is enough for Eliza to do many things to her. Sarah will definitely not be in one whole piece. If so, Eliza will only be safe if you bear the accusation in her place.”Freya went silent in astonishment. However, she quickly calmed down from the shock. Chester said, “Firstly, you have an ulterior motive. Secondly, Rodney owes you and the child. He won’t send you to prison. Moreover, you have Ryan and his family backing you. You can get out of this unscathed.”Freya pulled her hair as her mind was in a mess. “Young Master Jewell, are you overestimating me? I think I don’t even amount to a str
Sarah was already barely alive from being tortured. She lay on the ground like a corpse, and blood had pooled underneath her. She only had one thought. She would rather die. “Please… I beg you. Kill me…”Sarah begged in despair. She regretted it at that moment. She should not have come back after she escaped from Australia back then. She had been tortured for too long. She could not endure it anymore. She blacked out and fainted. Eliza looked at the time. It should be daylight outside. She could not delay any longer. Although she wanted to continue torturing Sarah slowly, she reckoned that with Rodney’s abilities, he would be arriving soon. It was okay if she was caught. She was already prepared for the worst.However, she had to take Sarah’s life.Eliza took out a knife that she had prepared. The gleam of the blade reflected her fierce, reddened eyes that were behind the mask. If possible, she did not want to go this far either. However, she could not tolerate Sarah
“Give me the knife.” Eliza did not want to hide anymore. “I’m doing what I have to do. Let me take Sarah’s life.”“Eliza, you can’t kill her. You’ll go to jail. Once you’re in prison, the rest of your life will be ruined,” Freya dissuaded her anxiously. “Sarah is hateful. I desperately want her to die as well. However, the law will punish her. She’s not worth you using the rest of your life to get revenge on her.”“I want her to be punished by the law too, but there’s no evidence. If possible, I don’t want to go this far either.” Eliza’s eyes were filled with determination. No one understood her pain. “We can slowly collect evidence,” Freya shouted at Eliza. “You’re my best friend. I can’t just stand by and watch as you ruin your life for such a scumbag. C’mon, let’s leave quickly.”“Leave?” Eliza laughed. Where could she go?She had nowhere to go. As long as Rodney kept investigating, he would easily find her.Rather than have that happen, it would be better if she killed Sar
