To Jared, the dagger against Ellenâs neck felt like it was against his heart. If Ellen were hurt, his heart would shatter at the same time. At this moment, Jaredâs heart rate was beyond normal, as if he was reacting to Ellenâs life- threatening situation with worry.
Gavin was struggling inwardly at the moment. He would rather kill Jared so that he could face his son when he went to the afterworld. Killing Ellen was irrelevant, but killing Jared would give him more satisfaction.
Gavin looked at the leader pinned to the ground and said, âLet him go and bring him over here.â With a signal from Jared, the bodyguard released him, and the leader immediately said to Gavin, âWhat the f*ck do you want me to do?!â âTie this person up and bring him to me,â Gavin ordered.
âWhy should I listen to you?â The leader hated Gavin for having offended such an influential person.
âEveryone has to listen to me here. Now, do as I say!â Gavin shouted.
The leader came over reluctantly. Jared took the initiative to take a rope from his bodyguard and handed it to the leader. The leader took the rope and a gleam of slyness in his eyes. He knew Gavin was doomed, but he might be spared if he helped Jared.
Moreover, this young man who drove a top- notch sports car was from a wealthy family, so they couldnât afford to offend him. If this young man suffered any injury, they would be doomed.
The leader had practiced many rope-tying techniques, one of which could be easily untied. At the moment, he used this technique while tying the rope and deliberately told Gavin, âWe want to get out safely. Once we leave, you can kill whomever you want. Otherwise, I wonât help you.â
Gavin agreed, âOkay, just tie him up and bring him over. Iâll get them to release you.â
After the leader finished tying him up, he deliberately shouted to Jared, âDie, b*tch!â After that, he secretly signaled to Jared where his rope was located and finally revealed at pleading look.
Jared received his message, turned to Gavin, and said coldly, âLet her go. Iâll walk over now.â
Ellen looked at Jared pleadingly. She would rather die than let him come over to Gavin. âEllen, this has nothing to do with you. Go back! Jared said indifferently.
Ellen thrashed around fiercely. She didnât want him to die. Gavin was completely irrational and crazy, so he would never let Jared go. Now that Jared was tied up and powerless, Gavin would not let go of this opportunity to hurt him.
Watching Ellen cry, Jared clenched his fists. He couldnât bear to let her cry, but now her tears kept falling because of him. How could he not feel sorry for her?
âBring him one meter away from me,â Gavin commanded the leader.
The leader immediately pulled Jared to a spot one meter away from Gavin. Gavin was tense, afraid of unexpected events, but he still took the dagger off Ellenâs neck and moved towards Jared, preparing to press the dagger against his neck.
Jaredâs eyes sank, and just as Gavinâs knife was about to touch him, he broke free from the rope binding his hands, grabbed Gavinâs hand. holding the dagger, and pushed him hard to the ground, shouting, âNow!â
Dozens of bodyguards rushed over in an instant, saving Ellen and Jared. Gavin almost went crazy.
Although his hand. holding the dagger was held by Jared above his head, no one expected that he still had a small knife in his other hand.
He reached out and stabbed Jaredâs shoulder twice. When the bodyguards rushed over, they quickly grabbed his hand and removed the knife. âYoung Master!â The bodyguards exclaimed.
