Finally, Young Master Tillman arrived. Jaredâs sports car charged onto the flat land beside the reservoir, frightening the kidnappers out of their wits. The sports car narrowly brushed past them.
Several screams echoed, and the kidnappers frantically dodged to the side. When they regained their senses, they discovered a top-of-the-line sports car parked in front of them. The three SUVs behind it did the same stunt and scared them all over again.
Ellen breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the sports car. Heâs here. She subconsciously knew he would come. Right at this moment, a cold and sharp object was pressed against her neck.
It was a dagger. Gavin did not expect Jared to find them, so he swung the dagger he had already sharpened and pressed it against Ellenâs neck.
The only step left in his ritual was to take Ellenâs life. Jared stepped out of the car, slammed the door, and barked, âGavin, let her go!â
âYoung Master Jared, youâre here too. Are you here to keep my son company in the afterlife?â Gavin remained calm and was even pleased that Jared had come to witness his masterpiece.
âYes, Iâm here to keep your son company. Let her go. If you want to kill someone, kill me!â Jared replied calmly.
Instantly, Ellen panicked. With the cloth stuffed in her mouth, she couldnât even speak. At this moment, her little face had turned pale as tears welled in her eyes, and in her heart, she cried out to the man approaching her, Donât come over. I donât want to exchange myself for your safety.
The kidnappers next to them realized that the situation was dangerous. The person who came to save Ellen was driving a luxurious sports car with ten bodyguards, so the thought of escaping popped up in their minds.
Before they could flee, the bodyguards took them down with a few punches, and they were tied up individually. âGavin Turner, you old b*stard, who the hell did you offend?â the leader cursed angrily.
Now, the kidnappers couldnât get the money, and they couldnât escape either.
Gavin could care less about them. At this moment, he was thinking and considering whether to sacrifice Ellen or Jared to mourn hist son. Itâll be an honor to sacrifice the nobleman Jared for my son!
âWhy did you kidnap her, Gavin? To me, sheâs just a plaything. I will get tired of her soon. Isnât it better to let her go and kidnap me instead?â Jared sneered, trying to provoke Gavin to choose him.
Gavin wasnât easy to deal with and immediately saw through Jaredâs trick. âIf sheâs unimportant, just let me kill her.â After saying that, he was about to use force. Jared finally panicked and shouted, âStop!â
Gavin laughed heartily. âIt seems this woman is significant to you and more important than your life, isnât she?â
Ellen looked at Jared. He hadnât looked at her much since he exited the car. She knew he was pretending not to care about her, but at this moment, looking at his panicked appearance, her heart was hurting like a knife slicing her.
âAs long as you let her go, Iâll do anything your want, Jared said in a deep voice. âOkay, then go there and kneel to my sonâs picture. Then, Iâll consider letting her go,â Gavin ordered.
Ellen shook her head in tears. No, donât do this. It is too insulting. However, Jared didnât hesitate to walk to the photo and kneel to it. Her tears soiled her face and her eyes showed her heartache toward him.
The bodyguards behind them also clenched their fists in anger but were helpless. Gavin was threatening the most important person to Jared, and they could only watch as he was humiliated.
âCan you let her go now?â Jared was done kneeling and turned to face Gavin.. Gavinâs dagger was still against Ellenâs carotid artery. With just a little force, Ellenâs life would be in danger.
