Chapter 2427

Author: Lord Leaf
The moment Zakir announced the fate of Helen and Sophie, everyone else finally let out a sigh of relief.

They were completely safe now!

However, Sophie slumped into a state of extreme desperation. She did not understand why Zakir would choose her mother and herself from more than a hundred people here.

But on second thought, she couldn’t help but think, ‘I’m not trying to brag, but if he considers all the people here in terms of appearance and beauty, Mom and I are indeed the more outstanding ones among them all…’

‘This Zakir not only looks tough, but he is also a little lecherous. It is reasonable for him to pick Mom and me among so many people…’

‘However, I don’t know if he has any other malicious intentions besides wanting us to be his hostages…’

At this point, she looked somewhat nervously at her mother.

Meeting her daughter’s gaze, Helen gently patted her hand and whispered comfortingly, “Sophie, don’t worry, I’ll be there with you. I’ll protect you no matter what happens.”

    With a loud bang, a finger-like bloody hole appeared on the woman’s forehead.Immediately afterward, she fell backward with her eyes wide open.A large pool of blood soon flowed on the ground, and the whole hall was filled with the rusty smell of fresh blood.Everyone in the hall was scared out of their wits, and loud screams immediately echoed and shook the hall. No one expected that Zakir would be so vicious.The woman had merely said something, and he had literally put a bullet in her head!In truth, Zakir had killed the woman not because she was irritating him, but because he wanted to scare Helen and Sophie into submission.He had to beat the dog before the lion to make them obedient to him wholeheartedly. Only then could he go with the plan and take them both away.Hence, he looked at the pale Helen and asked with an intrigued tone, “How about it, sweetie? Do you still want to bargain with me?”Helen immediately shook her head in fright.She knew that the vicious man in

    Charlie was not surprised at all when he saw Helen and Sophie walk out of the Treasure Pavilion.He had long felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. Now, the fact that Helen and Sophie would walk out under Zakir’s coercion reinforced his view on this matter.However, he hadn’t quite figured out who would go to such great lengths and make such a big detour just to harm the ladies.At this moment, Helen and Sophie had completely walked out of the Treasure Pavilion while Zakir followed them closely with a gun in one hand and the detonator in the other.He looked up to the surrounding tall buildings, sneered, and said to the police officers, “I know you must have positioned around many snipers who are ready to shoot me down at any moment, but I suggest you reconsider your actions carefully because I have the detonator here in my hand. Even if it is in the hands of a one-year-old, the slightest slip of a finger will detonate the bomb instantly! If you’re happy to die tog

    There was a slight hesitation in Charlie’s expression. A few seconds later, he gently shook his head and said, “Forget it. The Schulz family is my nemesis, but I have repeatedly saved their family members several times before I could even avenge my vengeance. Jaime, Sophie, and Rosalie. I’ve rescued these three Schulz family members once each. If I make a move again today, the Schulz family would owe me five lives already!”When he heard this, Isaac couldn’t help but agree and said, “Yes, you’re right. You’ve been saving their lives before you could even avenge them. God is indeed making fun of you.”Charlie couldn’t help but sigh. “Anyway, if something truly happens to Helen Dunn, my father’s residence will be re-auctioned, right?”Isaac answered, “I’m not sure if Mrs. Dunn has settled the payment and gone through the purchasing procedures. If she has, the residence will become her inheritance. If she hasn’t, I think it will be on the judicial auction again after a while.”Charlie

    Hearing Charlie’s speculation, Isaac exclaimed, “Mr. Wade, in your opinion, who could be behind this?”Charlie gave it some thought and said, “I think it is highly likely that the Schulz family is the mastermind behind this.”“The Schulz family?!” Isaac yelped, dumbfounded. “Why would the Schulz family take action against the ladies?! It doesn’t make any sense…”Charlie said with a serious expression, “If you want to make sense out of it, I can think of a few. Helen Dunn resolutely wanted to divorce Sheldon Schulz. This motive in itself is enough to tarnish the family’s reputation. Sheldon must hold some resentment in his heart, and so would his old man.”Isaac nodded and said, “For any dignified family, a wife or daughter-in-law who openly wants a divorce will definitely cause damage to the family’s reputation, but they don’t have to do it till this extent, right?”Charlie said, “They are a big and prominent family, after all. Sometimes, reputation is above everything. Not to men

    Although the Rolls Royce was not equipped with the remote summoning function, other remote functions were all in place, including the location tracking function. The car’s location could be obtained in real-time from its internal software.Soon, Isaac’s men had sent the trajectory of the car’s movement to him.After viewing it, he said, “Young Master, Zakir Luiz is heading toward the mountains.”“The mountains?” Charlie frowned. “Where is his exact location?”Isaac hurriedly replied, “It’s in the direction of the Champs Elys Resort.”“Okay!” Charlie immediately ordered, “Let’s head to your hotel now and take the helicopter to intercept his car in advance!”Isaac blurted, “Young Master, Zakir is strapped with explosives. Are you sure you can subdue him?”Charlie sneered and said disdainfully, “If I wanted to, I could make Zakir unable to blink, let alone press the detonation switch!”“Excellent!” Isaac sighed in relief and hurriedly drove to the hotel.At the same time, he pull

    As he got closer and closer to the scheduled tunnel, Zakir could not help but feel even more nervous at this time.This was because to Zakir, this was the decisive moment that would determine whether everything would end up as a victory or defeat for him.So, he kept praying in his heart, ‘God, I, Zakir Luiz, have never begged anyone for anything in my life. Now, I am begging you to keep me safe and bless me so that everything will go smoothly for me today!’‘God, if everything goes well, You will only need to give me an hour to escape after I deal and get rid of that pair of mother and daughter!’‘One hour will be more than enough for the Schulz family to arrange for my escape!’‘At this time tomorrow, I will already be able to start a new life abroad under a new identity!’As he thought about this, Zakir could not help but felt extremely excited.At the same time, Helen and Sophie who were sitting in the back of the Rolls-Royce could not help but felt a little nervous deep dow

    ‘Furthermore, it is highly likely that it would have something to do with the reason why he broke in and rushed into Treasure Pavilion today!’As she thought about this, Sophie came to a conclusion. ‘There must be someone who is backing him up in this matter. If that is the case, the fact that he broke into Treasure Pavilion today is surely not a coincidence!’‘If it is not a coincidence, the fact that he kidnapped me and my mother would also not be a coincidence, then!’‘Could it be… could it be that my mother and I have been his target all along?!’Sophie suddenly felt even more flustered!‘If Zakir truly happened to rush into Treasure Pavilion because he was being hunted down, as long as we cooperate with Zakir, after he successfully makes his escape and is safe, my mother and I will have a greater chance of survival. After all, he has already exposed himself in front of the police. Therefore, there is absolutely no need for him to kill me and my mother to further enrage the po

    There were two reasons why Sophie wanted to use money to bribe Zakir.Firstly, if it was effective for her to spend money to bribe him, it would be best if she could just transfer the money over to him to assure their safety.Secondly, if money had no effect on him, Sophie could at least determine Zakir’s thoughts and intentions through his words, then.At this point, Sophie had already drawn several key clues based on Zakir’s words by using a set of well-organized speeches she had come up with.‘Firstly, an ordinary person would never believe it if a girl in her early twenties could just offer to spend and pay him tens of millions of dollars or even a hundred million dollars just like that. He would simply assume that I am shooting my mouth off. However, Zakir did not doubt my ability to pay him fifty million dollars, eighty million dollars, or even a hundred million dollars!’‘This can only prove that he knows of my identity and background! He knows that it will certainly be ver

    Jacob certainly left Charlie speechless—the man might get kicked out of the house, but he was more worried about his car.Sighing in exasperation, he told Jacob, "Look, if it fails, I won't be able to get you a nice place, let alone leave the Cullinan with you."Jacob blurted out, "But why—""Don't forget—I'm still living in this house even if you're gone!" Charlie explained, his expression dead serious. "If I let you have a nice place and the Cullinan, God knows how terrible a grudge your wife would hold against me. I need to have a sense of self-preservation too!""If I got you a rundown apartment, I could at least defend myself even if she gets upset about that. I mean, I can't let you sleep in the streets, can I? Claire and I would be guilty of abandoning our elders."Seeing the serious look on Charlie's face, Jacob breathed a long sigh as he clapped him on the shoulder, groaning mournfully, "Oh, I get it. I wouldn't want to upset Elaine if I were in your shoes too…"Charlie

    Charlie sighed. "I told you it'd blow up, Dad, but you had to doubt me.""I wasn't doubting you," Jacob promptly defended himself. "I thought I might catch a lucky break—"Charlie cut him short, "Fair enough. Then, how are you going to handle this? I can try to stop Mom from going to that wedding and prevent her from getting in the hall even if she went, but what's going to happen to the both of you? Do you want a divorce or do you want to stay with her?"The light in Jacob's faded as he shrugged and sighed. "If I could divorce her, I would've—and I would be living happily with Matilda now. What company would I have if I did it now? Do you think Elaine would let me stay in Thompson First, with that attitude of hers?""In the end, I'd be chased out without a place to stay, and I can't suffer the humiliation of moving back with my mom and brother, can I? Hell, they might not even take me back!""So, that's a no?" Charlie pressed.Jacob smiled wryly. "At my age, even if I could, I w

    Hearing that Elaine was threatening suicide, Claire exclaimed urgently, "Take me to her now!"The traffic police officer quickly nodded. "Come on!"As the traffic police officer quickly led Claire to Elaine, Charlie arrived just then and gave chase after leaving the luggage by the entrance.Stopping them, he asked, "Excuse me, officer—where's the gentleman who came with Madam Parker? May I see him?""And who are you?" The traffic police officer asked."I'm his son-in-law," Charlier replied. "I was thinking that while my wife talks to her mom, I can talk to my father-in-law, make peace, and take them both home.""Oh, that'd be great!"The traffic police officer exclaimed and quickly beckoned at a colleague, "Come over. Take this gentleman to Jacob Wilson!""Okay!" The other traffic police officer was also quite enthusiastic.Charlie entered the room where Jacob was first, immediately seeing a disfigured Jacob taking deep puffs of his cigarette.Another traffic police officer w

    Charlie frowned in thought for a while, before saying, "Well, there is a plan, but I can't vouch for the chances. I also need you to cooperate with me and not let anything slip, or everything will go to waste. Can you do that?""I can!" Claire nodded, determined, before quickly asking, "So? What's the plan?""Well, it's not specific," Charlie replied. "We just have to improvise as we go along. Let's just head in for now!"-They left the airport and took a cab to the traffic police's headquarters. Just as she entered, they saw their Cullinan parked outside.Charlie sent Claire in first while he carried her luggage before following.Meanwhile, Elaine was wailing in her room, "I've been married to him for years! Suffering so much pain and humiliation, only for him to hook up with an old flame behind my back! Is it wrong if I struck out?"The traffic police officer was on the verge of a breakdown, but he still said patiently, "Ma'am, I've told you many times—what he did was wrong

    Claire wasn't all that experienced in love and hence didn't know how a person caught in a love triangle would think or why they would experience such terrible mood swings.Still, Charlie's explanation gave her a general idea, and she sighed, "Actually, Dad looked really bad when Matilda came back. He was so obsessed with her that he didn't care if Mom was alive—even bringing her home for dinner. I'd be seething if I was Mom."Charlie sighed in exasperation. "Well, let's not loiter about. Let's go to the traffic police station.""Yeah!" Claire nodded, before holding his arm, "If they're there, that means they're safe, and they won't be fighting with those officers around. So, let's not head over so quickly."Charlie raised a brow. "What are you getting at?"Claire sighed, clearly troubled. "We have to think—how are we going to alleviate this crisis? If it's really as you say and Mom has mostly guessed it right, this fight might just be the start. At best, that fight on the highway

    The traffic police officer smiled in exasperation. "Is there no getting through to you? You could even afford to drive a nice car, and you'd most likely survive an accident. But what if you were left bedridden for a long time? Yell at each other in the same hospital room?"Elaine waved him off. "I don't care—all I know is that I will always get my revenge, and on the spot if possible. If there were superheroes, I would be Wonder Woman!""Urgh…" The traffic police officer was utterly speechless. "How about this? We will call your daughter and have her come over to bail you. She will mediate your fight!"With those words, he returned Elaine's phone to her, and it happened to ring just then.It was a call from Claire.Seeing that the contact name said [Daughter], the traffic police officer quickly said, "Go on, answer it!"Elaine took it and answered the call, and Claire asked urgently before she could say a word, "Mom? Where are you? Where's Dad? Are you both alright?"Elaine sulk

    While Charlie was waiting for Claire at the airport, Jacob and Elaine were taken to the traffic police station.But even in the patrol car, Elaine did not stop lashing out at Jacob.As such, the traffic police had no choice but to call up another patrol car to bring them over separately.Charlie was hence left wondering what those two were up to this time as they were nowhere to be seen when Claire's flight was about to land and weren't answering his texts.Fortunately, Charlie never considered them reliable, so he was fine whether they showed up or not.If they did, they could all head home in the same car.If they didn't, he just had to take a cab home with Claire.It was past three when Claire's private jet landed, and Claire herself cleared the checkpoint in just half an hour, wheeling a trolley with her luggage.Seeing Charlie from afar, she couldn't help quickening her pace as she beamed.Charlie hurried toward her as well, and Claire shoved her trolley aside when they w

    However, to Jacob's shock, Elaine wasn't misled at all as she growled icily, "Why would I ask anyone else?! If there's someone I must question, it's Matilda! She's getting married, isn't she? Good! I will be there and ask her why she hooked up with my husband!"Jacob turned pale right then.Matilda's son and even some of their old classmates would be attending her wedding.If Elaine went, he would be exposed, and he wouldn't be able to stay in Aurous Hill out of shame!His nerves gnawing at him, Jacob could only plead, "Please, just trust me this once! Anything else aside, she's getting married, anyway—there's no way that I'd have anything to do with her! That alone should prove my innocence!"Elaine snorted. "If Matilda returned when I was arrested, it means she has been back for a while! And you're saying nothing happened since? Hell, even if she's married, it doesn't prove that she wasn't up to some hanky-panky with you! Maybe while I was arrested and refused a divorce when you

    The driver was left dumbstruck—this wasn't how it was supposed to go.Still, he blurted, "C-Crashing into a Cullinan? I might end up dead instead…""Fine! Then let's change cars, and you crash into ours—how about that?!" Elaine promptly retorted before continuing, "Or we could just stand right in front of your car while you run into us! I just happen to have a death wish, but if you don't kill me now, I'll kill you! Don't think about getting away either—I know your car plate! I'll sell this car and use the money to put a bounty on your head! I don't care what happens to me now! I'll claw my nails into the devil's face even if he shows up!"The driver was actually quite experienced, but even he had yet to meet someone as ridiculous as Elaine.Barely able to keep his hands steady, he threw them up as he apologized, "I'm so sorry, ma'am—I just lost my cool. I'm merely a humble driver of a Honda Civic while you own a Rolls. Hell, I spent fifty bucks buying that red emblem from Amazon,
