Davey chuckled.
âRaegan, you really donât get it, do you? Those who cross me never fare well.
â
âWhy would I want to understand you?â Raegan shot back disdainfully, âYou keep us here against our will, and then accuse us of betrayal for trying to escape?â
Daveyâs expression darkened immediately, his lips curling as he cautioned, âRaegan, Iâd think twice if I were you about making me angry.
â
Raegan sneered, âMr.
Glyn, your reasoning is an insult to common sense everywhere.
Iâm not afraid of you.
â
Davey sized up Raegan for a moment and offered a thin smile.
âJust be ready to face the consequences.
â
âSo what, youâre planning to kill me? Itâs not like itâs the first time,â Raegan retorted defiantly.
âWhat is this now, the fourth time? Or maybe the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth?â
As Daveyâs face turned even colder, Raegan kept at it.
âYouâve been after me for years because of Katie.
Katieâs as twisted as you are.
You two are the perfect pair.
â
Losing his patience, Davey stepped closer.
âRaegan, tell me where Casey is now, and maybe Iâll spare your life.
â
As Davey approached, Raegan grabbed a hidden bat from behind her and swung.
But this time she wasnât successful.
Davey was ready and caught the bat with his hands, holding it tight.
Raegan struggled to pull it free, but couldnât.
At the same time, Daveyâs other hand was already wrapping around Raeganâs throat.
He pushed her back against the only window ledge in the attic.
Struggling for breath, Raegan clutched at the window frame, terrified she would fall.
The attic was several feet above the ground.
A fall from this height could leave her paralyzed or even dead.
Rage flared in Daveyâs eyes as he seemed ready to end Raegan.
In his eyes, Raegan was no longer his daughter, even though he had once thought about reconciling.
Raeganâs decision to take Casey away was a step too far for Davey.
To him, whoever it was didnât matter.
Even his own flesh and blood had to pay with their life.
Seeing Raeganâs lips pressed tightly together, refusing to talk, Davey sneered, âNot going to talk, huh?â His eyes filled with hostility, his grip tightened.
âIt seems you really want to die.
â
With those words, he shoved Raegan out and her body half-jumped out of the window ledge.
âStop!â Suddenly, a loud shout came from below.
Dangling upside down, Raegan felt blood rushing to her head, her vision beginning to fade.
Struggling to open her eyes, she saw that the person below was Erick.
Erick had actually arrived.
Davey, who had come out hastily with only four bodyguards, found them quickly overpowered by Erickâs people.
Davey peered out and, spotting Erick, said with a smirk, âWhat a day, all the people who deserve to die have shown up.
â
âYou maniac, let go of my sister, or I swear Iâll kill you!â Erick shouted.
