Chapter 309

Chapter 309

The little boy’s belief in his father seemed to have collapsed, and he took a step back with a hurt

expression. “Why did you do bad things, Dad? Didn’t you always teach me to be a good person? How

could you do this? You’re not my dad anymore! I don’t want a dad like you…”

“Don’t talk to Dad like that, Kenny!” After the little boy came in, a plainly – dressed woman walked in

too. Once she told her son off, she looked at her husband with a heartbroken expression and said,

“Aren’t you going to tell the truth, Chris? Do you want to let our son forever live with the shadow of

having a criminal as a father?”

Chris heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his wife and son appearing safe and sound. Even so, he felt

ashamed to face them too, and he lowered his head to say, “I’m glad that you and Kenny are all right.

That’s… That’s all that matters to me.”

“Yes, Chris. Everything’s okay now. We were saved!” The woman leaned on her husband’s shoulder

with reddened eyes. “Why did you have to be so stupid, Chris? You could’ve told me that you were laid

off by your company. You worked odd jobs for such a long time, and you ended up being manipulated

to do such heinous things! Tell the police the truth, Chris! We might be able to get a lighter sentence if

you do that!”

“Honey, I… I’m sorry. I don’t need to hesitate anymore now that you and Kenny are fine.” Chris burst

into tears when his wife did not blame him. He then wiped his tears with his hands and raised his head

to say to the police officers, “I’ll tell you. the truth, officers! The reason why I pleaded guilty is that my

wife and son were kidnapped, and the person who kidnapped them used them to threaten me into

saying that!”

The police officers were taken aback! “What?! Who kidnapped them?”

Everyone was taken aback, and the sudden turns of events felt like a bombshell to them.

One of the police officers frowned warily, “Are you sure you want to retract your confession? You’ll have

to suffer even more serious consequences if you tell another lie!”

Chris nodded firmly. “I’m sure. I want to tell the truth! Someone threatened me and manipulated me to

do

inappropriate things to Miss Anya, but it wasn’t Corinne who did that. It was someone else!”

Lucas lowered his eyebrows and waited for the gangster to

continue.

Sunny’s eyes opened wide, and he was eager to know the truth.

Anya continued to huddle in her brother’s arms and was still somewhat afraid to look at the gangster

who had targeted her. However, she was surprised by the sudden turn of events and glanced at him

from time to time.

Rosie appeared somewhat annoyed as she had been eagerly anticipating Corinne’s miserable

downfall. Alas, Corinne could still find a way to turn the situation around, and Rosie rued the cunning,

scheming woman that Corinne was.

Gabriel walked in calmly and said, “Mister Lucas, these two people are two new witnesses I mentioned.

You saw for yourself that they’re Chris’s wife and son! They’ve both been kidnapped and detained in an

uncompleted building in the

suburbs for the past few days, and someone used them to

threaten Chris into framing my client!”

Lucas glanced at Gabriel, then narrowed his eyes at Chris and asked coldly, “Who did it?”

Gabriel said again, “Your wife and son have been saved, so it’s time you tell the truth and reveal once

and for all who the true instigator was!”
