"Mr. Prescott, a total of four men were in the operation. They were all employees of the company we acquired some time ago."But because they were slacking off and had poor work ethics, and you also caught them in the act, they were fired."With that, Gio paused for a moment."I suspect that they developed a hatred for you because of that incident. That was why they kidnapped Madam and tried to use her to threaten you."When Liam heard Gio's words, the cold air surrounding him grew stronger.Even if Gio didn't say the last sentence, Liam would have thought of it anyway."Did you find out anything else?" Liam asked."I don't know where they got their information from. But judging by the route they took before the operation, they seem to be heading straight to Riverbay Residence."I looked into the places they visited before the act, and I noticed that they had planned it early on. Not long after they were fired, they began to go around and purchase the tools for the crime."The
"Why are you telling her so many things? Don't tell me you're falling for her just because she looks pretty! Don't forget, she's Liam's woman, and she's also pregnant with Liam's child!" The man who hung up the phone spoke fiercely, interrupting the other man's words.Amelia looked at the four kidnappers in the house. One of them was keeping watch over the entrance, whereas another was guarding the window.The fiercest one of them all—the one standing in front of her—had a crew cut. His sleeves were also rolled up, revealing tattoos on his arm.The two men who were keeping watch at the door and the window only glanced at her when they heard the movements.They quickly looked away, so they didn't seem to have the intention of interrupting. They seemed to both be cold people as well.It made sense. They were capable of kidnapping a woman, so how much conscience could they possibly have?Amelia glanced at the man who was reprimanded. He had a sheepish smile on his face as he l
While Amelia was looking forward to Liam's arrival, Liam was also anxiously hurrying his way to her.Unlike Amelia, who was filled with anticipation, Liam felt self-blame instead.If it weren't for him, Amelia wouldn't have gotten involved in these things.If letting go of her was the best option for her, then he would …Liam floored the gas pedal, and the car accelerated greatly.When Brandon saw the speeding car in front of them, he was shocked amidst his painstaking effort to keep up."Liam's still speeding with the road like this. Doesn't he care about his life at all?" he asked.Lucas was startled by Liam's reaction, but he wasn't surprised. He looked at Brandon and said, "If Hannah was the one being kidnapped, you'd think that the car was going too slow instead."Brandon parted his lips. If it were Hannah, then he would indeed be very anxious.But …"But Liam has Leona now, right? If it weren't for that woman, he would have married Leona a long time ago."Don't tel
As the tattooed man threatened her, Amelia slowly got up. Her right hand was trembling as she reached for the pen.Perhaps because of the fear and uncertainty, she had only just grabbed the pen when it fell from her hand again.The tattooed man was about to fly into a rage again, so the shy man hastily picked up the pen and stuffed it into Amelia's grasp.He blocked the tattooed man's line of sight with his body and shielded Amelia from the latter. Then, he said, "Now that things have come to this point, you won't be able to win even if you resist. Just worry about yourself and the baby in your belly. It's useless even if you worry about other things now."If you can't get out of here, there's no use in thinking too much."Amelia glanced at the shy man. She met his sincere gaze and nodded. "Alright, got it. I'll sign it."She lowered her head to look at the documents on the table.There were five documents in total, and they were stacked together. Only the signature sections
Liam spoke coldly. Even in the rundown house, he exuded his usual air of elegance.His expensive suit didn't look weird on him even when he was standing in the dilapidated building."We were also working like that before you purchased our company, and no one said anything about it. Why were you the only one who found fault with us?" The tattooed man asked.He continued, "There were security issues in that area, and we had resolved lots of problems for our colleagues. Even if we don't go to work at all, no one would think that it's unfair."But you just had to butt in and fire us. I heard that they're getting into trouble over there." As the tattooed man spoke, he stared at Liam with reddened eyes. He looked like he wanted to pounce on Liam and tear him into pieces."He's right. Moreover, I was working earnestly, but you've fired me as well. If I had a job, my comrades would lead better lives. They wouldn't have had to come to this point."Amelia was stunned when she heard the
Seeing that the tattooed man was frightened, Liam smiled. Then, he stood up with a cold look on his face.He said, "I've brought the money you asked for, and I've also kneeled as you told me to. Now it's your turn to uphold your end of the deal. "Let my wife go."The tattooed man wasn't quite convinced when he saw Liam's calm behavior."The money is still beside you. It's not in my hands," he said.Liam glanced at the case next to his feet and gently kicked it over to the man.The tattooed man simply glanced at it, but he didn't do anything else. But the two men beside him looked tempted.The tattooed man laughed. "Looks like the rumors weren't true, after all. Mr. Prescott, other than the woman you have in your house, you also care about your legal wife who has your child."This is ten million dollars, after all. You're willing to part with that sum just to save a woman you're about to divorce."Liam frowned. "Quit yapping. Let me see her."Sneering, the tattooed man said
The tattooed man took the divorce agreement Liam had signed and put it away safely. Then, he looked at his comrades beside him. "Count the money. Mr. Prescott is a successful businessman, and businessmen all like to cheat people. We don't want to be scammed."One of the comrades hastily hauled the case away and opened it.It was filled with cash."Can a small case like this contain ten million dollars?" the shy man asked, looking a little dumb.The tattooed man looked at Liam as well. Liam answered, "Of course, the case can't hold ten million dollars. You may see the cash on top, but there are prepaid cards under them!"His voice was low, and he even dragged out his vowels. He seemed to have spoken the last sentence after a sufficient amount of suspense."Prepaid cards? I wonder how many of them there are!" Another comrade glanced at the case with an excited look on his face.Amelia noticed that when the shy man looked at the case, his eyes gleamed as well. He was overwhelme
The flesh around the mouth was already tender enough, so the sudden pain from the tape being torn off caught Amelia by surprise."Liam, you bastard! You wicked devil! You said that you would love me, and only me forever, and you'd be nice to only me. But you fell for another woman, and now you don't care about me anymore."If things had to turn out like this, you should have let me go from the beginning!"Even if the child comes with me and has to survive without you, it's much better than you losing the child and never getting to see him!"You bastard! I hate you! Even if I die, I'll still haunt you as a ghost! I'll curse you so that you'll never have any children with other women!"Liam frowned. "That's enough, Amelia. Your family took lots of money from me. If it weren't for me, your poor relatives would have died of starvation a long time ago. I've already done everything I can for you."Why don't you stop and think about it for a moment? You can never compare to Leo!"With
