Grief, Betrayals, and a Core of Blaze
"You old scoundrel! If anything happens to my son, I won’t let you off!" Loretta didn't dare believe Rachel's words. She quickly supported Jensen, intending to head out. Just then, the ambulance arrived. "Let’s get Mr. Jensen into the ambulance first. We need to get to the hospital immediately for a full check-up." Hansel didn’t trust Rachel either. How could someone who deliberately held Jensen hostage and kidnapped him truly be so "kind" to him? Loretta nodded quickly. The police also sent an officer to accompany them. After all, they still needed to take a statement. The crowd of people had gathered quickly, and they dispersed just as fast. Waylon and Flynn watched this scene, both very satisfied. They had managed to resolve the Rachel situation without the Stone family having to show their faces. Although it wasn't the most satisfying way to vent their anger, because of the eldest son, Moses, it really wasn't appropriate for their family to get involved. Baron’s arrangement was the best possible one. Flynn said in a low voice, "Dad, even though Rachel was captured, I don't think the person behind her will necessarily stay idle. We should still arrange for some people to wait near the police station to see exactly who Rachel’s backer is." "I was thinking the same thing." Waylon stood up, stretched, and then said, "Let’s go. We can't participate in the subsequent interrogation work. We'll tell the police everything we know later, and they will give us a satisfactory answer. Natalie is probably at home, unable to sleep. Let’s go back and check on her. Baron captured James, so he probably won't be back tonight." Flynn thought of the women and children at home and nodded. The Stone family members had arrived silently, and they withdrew just as silently. The secret arrest at the airport today hadn't alarmed anyone. Waylon and Flynn quickly returned to the villa. Sure enough, Natalie was not asleep. When she saw them return, she subconsciously glanced behind them. "Where’s Baron?" "Baron had other business and might be busy very late. But don’t worry, it’s very safe. Your brother and I were worried about you, so we came back first. Rachel has been taken away by the police, so you can rest easy. Her backup didn't seem to show up; they were likely stopped by Baron’s side. It’s getting late. You should get some rest. It’s not good for girls to stay up late." Waylon felt a pang of pity seeing the dark circles under his daughter’s eyes. Natalie finally let out a sigh of relief when she heard Rachel had been captured. When she also heard there was no movement from James' side, she knew Baron had succeeded. With Shauna there, Baron should be safe. Only then did she feel a trace of exhaustion. Seeing Waylon and Flynn's bloodshot eyes, Natalie nodded. "Okay, let's go to bed early. Tonight was a good result. We can talk about everything else tomorrow." "Yes, yes, you hurry and rest. If you stay up late, that kid Baron will definitely blame us for not taking good care of you when he gets back."Flynn’s words made Natalie's lips curve into a smile. "Dad! Baron isn’t like that." "Right, right. Even Baron's farts smell sweet. My mistake. I’ll be sure to put him on a pedestal and worship him from now on." When Flynn said this, Natalie grew even more embarrassed. "Dad..." Hearing his daughter’s coaxing tone, Waylon burst into laughter. "Alright, alright. Everyone go get some rest." At the same time, Baron, having put on a silver mask, arrived at the basement where James was being held. Tonight, he had to pry open James' mouth. Someone dared to plot against his wife; he would make that person pay a heavy price! "Mr. Baron!" When Shauna saw Baron descend, she quickly had her people make way. The basement was filled with the thick stench of blood. James was currently tied to a pillar, his body covered in lacerations from a whip. He looked to be on the verge of death. Hearing someone come down, James struggled to open his eyes and glanced at Baron. Under the light, the silver-white mask on Baron’s face reflected a cold, sharp glint. The killing intent and iciness in Baron's eyes, in particular, made him shudder. "I... I have people backing me. Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the person behind me for doing this?"Baron's lips curved faintly, his eyes filled with mockery. Shauna lashed out directly with the whip. "Ah!" James cried out in pain again, his whole body convulsing. Shauna sneered and said, "Oh, I’m so scared! I don't know how powerful the person behind you is, but I do know that when our Mr. Baron wants someone dead, no one can protect them." "Mr. Baron?" James' face instantly turned pale. "Which Mr. Baron?" "In this world, who else do you think would be called Mr. Baron?"
