"That's not a problem. I'll bring you to your son. Aurora insisted on meeting you anyway. When you see your son, you'll transfer the money, deal?" Fitz had a dark look in his eyes."Deal! Let's get going." Chandler stepped forward right away.Looking at the six villagers behind him, Fitz had an apparent intent to kill all of them.Chandler sensed his intentions and said in a low voice, "They're just a bunch of honest villagers. There's no need to kill them. They won't alert the police. I don't want these six lives to be taken away because of me and my son."His words made Fitz pause and think. If he killed these six villagers, it would be more troublesome if their family members came looking for them in the mountains later. Thinking of this, Fitz gave up on his idea to kill them. However, he warned them viciously, saying, "Hey, you lot! I'm warning you! If you don't want your entire family to be wiped out, you'd better keep your mouths shut. My business with this man has nothing to
After Chandler comforted Asa, he held his son's hand and walked toward Aurora, preparing to negotiate with her. He was also buying time while waiting for his six special forces bodyguards to arrive.Along the way, he made special markings. He was wearing a pair of unique leather shoes. They left footprints wherever he walked, but these footprints could only be seen with special digital glasses. Following his trail, his bodyguards should arrive soon.Right then, Aurora looked at the harmonious and heartwarming scene of the father and son getting closer to her. However, the more pleasant the scene before her was, the more it fueled her hatred!Her sinister eyes stared at Chandler's perfect face, and a few seconds later, she suddenly laughed. "Well, well ... Chandler, your face can indeed make women fall head over heels for you. It's unfortunate that my foolish sister met such an end because of you! You scum! You relied on your wealth to pursue these innocent women. How many women have
"Transfer the money first, then I'll remove it!" Fitz disagreed sternly.Chandler smiled faintly. "Fitz, he's just a kid. Are you worried that he'll escape? We don't have any weapons. What advantage do we have besides money?"His deliberate display of weakness was to avoid provoking Fitz. A criminal could change his mind at any time, so it was imperative to be careful with his words. Listening to Chandler's words, Fitz glanced at him and Asa, relishing in a sense of superiority of manipulating other people's lives. He silently decided that he would kill them right after getting the money."Aurora, remove the device from his son," he ordered and went back into the cabin.She was the one who put the device on Asa, so she would naturally be the one to remove it as well. There wasn't a hint of reluctance in her eyes. Without a word, she went in and retrieved the remote control. In less than a minute, she returned and walked over to Asa.She crouched down and said, "I'll remove the dev
Since she couldn't bring herself to kill Chandler, Aurora decided to negotiate with him. Chandler took Fitz's gun and hid it behind his back. The moment he stabbed Fitz and stole his gun, he used the gun to hit Fitz in the back of his head without hesitation. Because of that, Fitz had passed out.Fitz was quite badly hurt. Although the knife in his body curbed the flow of blood to some extent, having a knife lodged inside his body was still dangerous. Aurora was starting to feel the urge to retreat. Fitz was on the brink of death from the stabbing, and she'd become an accomplice to Chandler.Even she struggled to tell if she was a friend or foe to Chandler right now. But one thing she was sure was that she didn't want to die! If she really killed Chandler and Asa, she and the hired mercenaries would have to go on the run. Moreover, whether one committed the crime of killing or not made a huge difference.If Fitz died, she wasn't sure if the hired mercenaries would still listen to he
In less than twenty minutes, Osborn commanded the helicopter squad to surround the cabin. Faced with the massive police squad surrounding them from all sides, the mercenaries gave up right away. They all threw away their guns in submission because Osborn lied to them that Fitz was dead and Aurora had surrendered. With their leader dead and no hope of getting the money, the mercenaries weren't willing to sacrifice themselves unnecessarily. They weren't foolish. Even if casualties arose among the mercenaries, if they engaged in a firefight with the police, the possibility of them being completely wiped out was greater.It was a battle that couldn't be won and had thus lost its meaning.In the end, the kidnapping case ended with the use of advanced surveillance tools, highly intelligent psychological tactics, and superb cooperation between the police and the civilians.Except for Fitz, there were no casualties.When Asa rushed into Erin's embrace, she held onto her son tightly and c
Upon hearing Chandler say "You can't get rid of me in this lifetime," Erin chuckled and responded humorously, "I won't get rid of you—just don't call me nonstop whenever I'm away from home!"Chandler froze a little, and he immediately put on a displeased expression. "See! I barely said anything much, and you're already finding me annoying."Right then, Erin suddenly remembered what Alana mentioned before Asa's kidnapping. She said seriously, "Chandler, Alana told me she wants you to be the father of her child with Saber. She thinks it doesn't matter whether I agree or not if you agree to it. To be frank with you, I can't agree with you becoming the father of her child! Regardless of whether you're happy about it or not, her request is disrupting our harmonious family life."Unexpectedly, Chandler frowned hard as an expression of incredulity took over his features. "What did you say? Alana wants me to be the father of her child? Is she crazy? Even if you agree to it, I won't! What on
Upon hearing Sean's complaint, Erin covered her mouth as she burst into laughter. After she'd laughed enough, she said, "Something really came up those two times. I can only say that you were unlucky. Indeed, it's still my fault. So, sorry about that. As for what happened seven years ago … It's all in the past."She smiled detachedly, "Actually, the script I wrote is based on my experiences. I just changed the ending. The female lead didn't suffer burn injuries and being disfigured as I did because it would be too cruel for the audience's eyes. The audience loves perfect endings, so I gave it to them. It's also a present for myself. After all, experiencing it in real life once was enough. I didn't think there was a need to relive it in the script."Erin talked about what she'd gone through and the script lightheartedly. However, Sean and Matthew's hearts ached for her immensely. Although she spoke about it casually, they could imagine how unbearable life had been for her until she re
As Chandler spoke, the three of them, who were seated on the sofas, turned to look at him. As he descended the stairs while speaking, there was an air of playful sarcasm in his tone. He also exuded a noble and imposing aura that made him seem godlike. As fellow men, even Sean and Matthew felt somewhat inferior for a moment.Hearing her husband's sarcastic complaints, Erin felt a myriad of emotions. These three men were joining forces against her now! Then again, she had nothing to fear. She stood up and greeted the man who had just rescued her son.With a slight bow, Erin extended her hand and smiled politely. "Do join us, Mr. Frost. Welcome to the 'holding Erin accountable' meeting. Should I go to the kitchen to get us some snacks?"Upon seeing that his wife was being cheeky, Chandler frowned but looked at her indulgently. "Alright, that's enough. Stop being mischievous."Then, he turned to Sean and Matthew. "Don't worry. I'll spend the rest of my life punishing this heartless wom
