Chapter 1203
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
From then on, Julian never cracked jokes that threatened his childrenâs sense of security.
Now that he thought back on it, those times were so precious.
At that moment, Betty was still sobbing over the video call. Her sobs showed no signs of weakening.
Julian had no idea what happened. In his worry, he found himself yelling, âEnzo Jennings, stop right now! Touch my children again, and I wonât spare you!â
Haha.
Enzo looked at the silent Sean, and smiled. âBoy, you lied to me. Your daddy clearly cares more about your sister. Look how anxious he got just from hearing her cry. He wasnât so anxious when he saw your wounds just now.â
His words were like the key that opened Pandoraâs box, revealing what Sean had long taken as the truth in his heart.
Before the camera lens turned to Sean, he took a pill Enzo gave him.
âFor Daddy to take, right?â he asked.
Enzo nodded with a smile, looking like a big bad wolf trying to trick the little bunny. âYes, for your daddy to take. When he does, youâll become the most important child in your family.â
Sean pondered silently for a moment. He then slipped the pill in his pocket.
Enzoâs smile widened when he saw that. Julian would never expect to die by his own sonâs hands!
Victory seemed to be right around the corner. Not only did Enzo succeed in using Julian and making himself known to the latter, but he even managed to make Julian vanish from the face of earth!
After he was done dealing with Julian, his master Jim Hughes was sure to praise and reward him!
In any caseâ¦
He had it all figured out long ago.
All Jim Hughes wantedâ¦was that woman, Diana, right?
If Enzo made her lose her husband and children, Jim would have the chance to appear as a savior before her. That would give him a golden opportunity to get close to her!
Jim would surely thank Enzo for his brilliant move.
The thought excited Enzo even more. As he spoke to Julian over the video call, his eyes were bright with joy.
He activated the video, which he had switched off temporarily just now, and said to Julian, âI didnât touch your daughter.â
He pointed the camera at Betty. âTake a good look. Sheâs perfectly fine, butâ¦â
He sighed. âSheâs such a huge crybaby.â
The moment she woke up, she kept crying non-stop. Sean, who was injured all over, didnât even make a sound.
Julian heaved a silent sigh of relief. He was now certain Enzo posed no threat to the twinsâ lives at this moment.
Rather than negotiating with Enzo to let him see Seanâs injuries, Julian decided it was better to just get the twins back home as soon as possible.
âSpeak,â Julian said, a plan forming in his mind as his gaze turned calm. âYou went to such great lengths to take the twins away. Whatâs your goal?â
Sean had been paying attention. From the start to finish, his father never once asked about him.
This wasnât a kidnapping, indeed. It was blackmail.
Enzo grinned. âSimple. Come here and let me beat you up to a pulp. Then, Iâll let your twins go.â
Beat Julian to a pulp? Easier said than done.
He would be vicious. Those who suffered under his hand would have to endure tremendous pain.
âCome alone, without anyone else. Otherwiseâ¦â Enzo glanced at the twins. âYou know that I own a pharmaceutical company. If you dare disobey, Iâllâ¦â
Incapacitate your children, or kill them with drugs.
That was much simpler than beating someone as strong as Julian until he turned into a cripple.
Enzo had no idea that Julian had once been on the verge of death. He only managed to survive due to Shilohâs miraculous skills.
To a certain extent, Julian wasnât as fit as he was in the past.
