The car sped off in the direction of the garrison of Drunham City.Right as the car drove past two streets, a few military Jeeps suddenly appeared on the road and quickly had Howard's car surrounded.Howard's driver slammed on the brakes so hard that the piercing screech of the tire echoed throughout the entire street. Howard was stunned as his body rushed forward.After he sat up straight, he looked at the Jeeps through the windscreen, looking completely shocked.The driver regained consciousness at that moment. He opened the door and got out of the car while cursing.He looked at the people and bellowed, "Who are you? Which department do you work for? Do you know whose car you're blocking? Hurry up and get out of the way!"However, the captain of the uniformed soldiers standing across from him simply waved his hand. In an instant, two soldiers walked out from behind him and detained the driver, pressing him on the hood of the car.Then, the captain walked up to the back of the
"How dare you!" Howard barked. He immediately got up and wanted to get out of the car.His face was filled with race as he bellowed, "I'd like to see which one of you has the guts to do it!"However, the captain moved quickly. Before Howard could get up, he closed the car door on him. At the same time, a soldier slid into the driver's seat and locked the car from the inside.Soon, the engine was started, and the car was heading toward the Hughes Mansion.Howard was sitting at the back of the car. He looked out the window at his driver and assistant, who were kicked out of the car, and shouted, "You know what to do! Be smart and act quickly!" The driver and assistant watched as Trevyn's men took Howard away along with his car. They were so anxious that they were covered in sweat.Howard's assistant, Zayn Mosier, quickly called the police headquarters and shouted, "Something terrible just happened! Captain Hughes has ordered his subordinate to stop Mr. Hosier's car on the streets.
Zayn looked nervous and frightened as he said, "We don't have definitive information about Mr. Cole's wife and daughter yet. We're already looking into it. But Mr. Hosier has indeed been taken away by Trevyn."I was on the way here with Mr. Hosier earlier. While we were halfway here, Trevyn's men stopped our car in the middle of the street. This is something serious. If this is not handled properly, the entire city might end up in turmoil."Of course, Adrian knew how severe this matter was. Feeling just as shocked as well, he cursed, "Trevyn is too arrogant! He's completely ignoring the relationship between the police and the army!""Quick! Let's not talk about this now. Hurry up and find General Lynch. We have to get him to handle this matter. He's the only one who could keep Trevyn in check now," Zayn said anxiously.Adrian looked troubled after he heard that. "General Lynch is not around. He has gone to the capital of the state to attend a meeting.""What? He's not in? What sho
Adrian was feeling incredibly anxious as well. He kept pacing in his office and said, "Let's calm down. I'll contact Mr. Cole first. If he's involved, Trevyn is nothing. Everything will be resolved in an instant.""Oh yes! How could I forget about Mr. Cole? Hurry up and call him, then!" said Zayn, slapping himself on the forehead.Adrian immediately called Liam. However, he only heard a robotic voice saying that the number was out of the network coverage area.Adrian was stunned. All he could think of was that they were done for. Liam could not be reached.With tightly furrowed eyebrows and a solemn expression, Adrian held his phone and pondered for a while.Feeling helpless, he said, "I can't reach Mr. Cole either. We can't get in touch with General Lynch now. There's nothing we can do anymore. You may head back for now. I'll lead a squadron and head over to the Hughes Mansion. We have to bring Mr. Hosier home safely no matter what.""That's all we can do for now. I'll leave thi
Reginald looked annoyed. He was already having a hard time making a decision, yet he had to listen to the others being rowdy. He hit his walking stick on the ground as hard as he could and bellowed, "Enough!"He continued, "I didn't ask you to come here and throw a tantrum. Think of a solution now. Our backs are already up to be against the wall, so what's the point for you to be saying all this nonsense? Hurry up and think! What should we do? If the Stone family falls, none of you are going to get out unharmed!"His remark got everyone feeling nervous. They exchanged looks with each other and started discussing softly. In an instant, there was a solemn air that filled the living room.Right at that moment, Cheryl walked out of the crowd, strutting in her heels. She looked at Reginald and said, "Grandpa, isn't this simple? My boyfriend is the heir of the Abbott family. He knows Trevyn and is quite close to him. It was because he spoke to Trevyn that I was released."I'll ask him to
Once Wasyl hung up the call, he smiled and looked at Trevyn, who was standing in front of him. With an ingratiating tone, he said, "Mr. Hughes—"It was only then that Trevyn turned around with a flat expression that was hard to read. He looked at Wasyl with a frosty gaze and cut him off, saying, "Compared to Mr. Hughes, I prefer people addressing me as Captain Hughes. But you'll have to address me as General Hughes in three days."Such an unfriendly remark stunned Waysl a little. However, he immediately smiled again as he looked at Trevyn's icy gaze and said, "Yes, you're right. It's my fault for using an inappropriate way to address you, Captain Hughes."My girlfriend is Celena's half-sister, Cheryl. She wanted me to ask for mercy on her family's behalf. Is it possible for you to not take your anger out on the entire Stone family because of Liam and Celena? The Stone family will agree to any terms as long as you can let them off the hook.""Oh? Cheryl? She's my brother's ex-fiance
"Cheryl, I've taken care of the matter for you. Since I've done you such a huge favor, how are you going to thank me?" Wasyl asked.Everyone in the living room at Stone Mansion was on edge as they waited for an update. They all turned to look at Cheryl nervously as soon as Cheyrl's phone rang.Cheryl deliberately put the call on speaker mode when she answered it. She could feel her heart pounding as she asked anxiously, "You've taken care of it? Really? You're not lying to me, are you? Captain Hughes has agreed? What terms did he name?"Wasyl was already sitting in his car. His face and the tone of his voice were filled with pride as he said, "Of course, it's true. Would I lie to you about that? Come on. Who am I? I'm the heir of the Abbott Group. Besides, Captain Hughes and I are tight. Of course, he's going to do me a favor once I ask him for it.""What about the terms?" Cheryl asked, feeling anxious."Captain Hughes said he'll send an invitation to the Stone family for his indu
All the other members of the Stone family flattered Cheryl as well and said, "It's truly all thanks to you, Cheryl. If you didn't ask Mr. Abbott for help, we would have been at a loss.""That's true! You and Celena share the same father but look at her. She only gets our family into trouble. She also married Liam, a man who not only relies on her financially but just keeps creating trouble for our family.""You're right. Cheryl's boyfriend is outstanding. He's Captain Hughes' good friend. Look at how he's able to get us out of trouble so easily. Now, look at Liam. He said he'd take care of it, but he abandoned his wife and child and ran off in secret instead when there's only a couple of days left before the time is up.""What an embarrassment. He has abandoned his wife and child. To think that Celena only had eyes for him. Look at him. He just ran off without Celena and their daughter. Celena's whole family has been taken away too."Speaking of that, the crowd was reminded that Ch
