Chapter 86

N27% 15:09 Tabitha stood by the bed, looking at him in helplessness.

Jayden squinted at her with his cloudy eyes and asked coldly, “What are you doing?”

“There’s a mouse!” Tabitha looked scared and said, “There are also cockroaches. Can you please let me go outside?”

“Why are you afraid of these little creatures? When you’re hungry and have nothing to eat, these creatures can even be consumed to fill your stomach.” Jayden brushed the broken porcelain pieces aside and threw them out of the window.

Then, wearing an amused expression, he found a broken piece of porcelain in Tabitha’s clasped hand and took it out. “I’ve used this little trick a lot before. Remember not to do it again. Otherwise, I’ll cut off your fingers one by one.”

Tabitha seemed so scared that she almost cried. She lowered her head and dared not say a word.

Satisfied with her reaction, Jayden turned around and went out. He opened the two large barrels of gasoline he had prepared in advance and began to pour it little by little onto the floor of the living room.

He poured carefully and evenly, not missing a single corner.

He had just seen Lorelai earlier. He thought, “That bitch has gotten even prettier after leaving my side.

While I had to constantly hide myself and feed on mice, they could stay comfortably in their house and indulge in proper food. I must make that bastard pay later!‘

Listening to the noise outside while Jayden got busy, Tabitha quietly kicked off her shoes.

MM M There was a broken piece of porcelain hidden under her shoe.

Tabitha struggled to reach the shard of porcelain.

Meanwhile, Malcolm finally got a lead on Tabitha’s whereabouts.

She went to the hospital, and then she came out with Emmanuel.

Malcolm had a vague idea of what Emmanuel was doing in his years abroad, including some shady business the latter was involved in.

27 15:09 He suspected that Emmanuel had hurt Tabitha, and his hand, resting on his sides, shook uncontrollably. He took a deep breath before calming down and saying to Saul, “Find Emmanuel immediately and follow him.”

“Yes, Mr. Sinclair,” Saul replied.

After receiving the instruction, Saul immediately executed the order. After thinking briefly, Malcolm also left in his car.

Emmanuel had already asked for someone to prepare 60,000 dollars in cash. At that time, he didn’t care whether the amount was more than what Jayden asked or not. He carried the black leather bag and left.

Lorelai was fiddling with the succulents on the balcony. She quickly asked, “Where are you going?”

“Something came up,” Emmanuel said casually and hurried out.

In less than twenty minutes, he found Jayden.

Jayden had yanked Tabitha out of the room. He held a knife in one hand and a lighter in the other.

Jayden had completed all the preparations and was waiting for Emmanuel to arrive.

Emmanuel caught whiffs of the strong smell of gasoline in the air and felt an intense uneasiness surging within him. He subconsciously looked at Tabitha and was relieved to find that she was uninjured.

MMM 27% 15:09 He picked up the black leather bag in his hand and said, “Here’s the money you asked for. Let her go.”

Jayden sneered, “Go close the door first and remember to lock it.”

Emmanuel complied. Then, Jayden added, “Open the leather bag and kick it over.”

+

Emmanuel did as Jayden instructed.

Jayden checked that there was indeed money in the purse, smiled, and suddenly kicked a wooden stick toward Emmanuel.

Jayden said, “When I asked for money a few days ago, I said that interest would be charged if the money was sent late.”

Emmanuel’s heart sank. “What else do you want?”

“Do you remember my leg?” Jayden stretched out his lame leg a little and laughed sinisterly. “You’re the ingrate who got me caught and caused one. of my legs to become lame. All these years, I’ve been thinking night and day about how to make you pay for what you’ve done, you bastard.”

Tabitha’s eyelids twitched. She thought, “This old man is Emmanuel’s father?‘

Jayden continued, “If you want to save her now, break your own leg. If you don’t want to give up your legs, you can break one of your arms.”

Emmanuel stood up straight, his lips taut as he looked at the dirty, mean old man in front of him.

Things seemed to be spiraling out of his control. He thought Jayden just wanted money, but he didn’t expect the latter to have become so twisted and crazy!

“What? You’re reluctant to do it?” Seeing Emmanuel’s calm face, Jayden couldn’t help but feel exasperated. “If you’re reluctant to break your leg, N 27% 15:09 don’t blame me for harming your woman.”

“She’s not my woman,” Emmanuel spoke calmly. “She is Malcolm’s wife. If you dare to lay a finger on her, the Sinclair family will not let you go.”

“Whether they will let me go or not is uncertain.” Jayden sneered. “However, I know that if you don’t do as I say, I will not let her off the hook now.”

Jayden pressed the blade against Tabitha’s neck. Soon, she started bleeding.

Tabitha felt a painful sensation in her neck. She felt nervous and ill at ease.

She wasn’t afraid of getting hurt, but she was scared the baby she was carrying would be harmed.

The air inside the house was filled with gasoline smell, and Jayden’s mental state seemed deranged.

Tabitha didn’t know if Jayden would do something even crazier next.

She saw Emmanuel holding the stick and shook her head at him discreetly. She mouthed a few words at him without making a sound.

Emmanuel instantly understood what she was saying by reading the movements of her lips. She was telling him to call the police.

Complicated emotions churned within him. He had the impression that Tabitha had always been a delicate, sickly woman who required constant care.

However, she didn’t cry or make a fuss when she was caught up in that predicament. She was behaving much calmer than he imagined.

Jayden waited a few seconds, but seeing that Emmanuel was still unwilling to act, he impatiently moved the knife in his hand forward a little. As a result, more blood flowed from Tabitha’s neck.

MM M Jayden snapped, “Hurry up! There’s a limit to my patience!”
