Fine, we’ll pay. We’ll cover his treatment, pay all the medical bills. Once he’s healed, we’ll beat him up again. Then we’ll treat him again. As long as we don’t kill him, it’s fine. Actually, this way, he doesn’t have to go to jail. Jail would be letting him off too easy. We’ll just beat him, treat him, beat him again, over and over, endlessly…”
Edwin laughed too. “Also, what about the woman?”
Robert narrowed his eyes slightly. There was the answer to Lucille’s question. That was how he knew where her grandmother was…..
“Let her go.”
Robert said calmly.
“Let her go?”
Edwin was surprised. This wasn’t Robert’s style. He thought Robert would make her suffer terribly.
“Yeah, let her go.”
Robert said, “Sometimes, it’s fun to watch dogs fight each other.”
Edwin agreed, and the call ended.
He had wanted to ask if Robert wasn’t afraid she’d keep causing trouble after being released.
But the thought was fleeting. After all, with Mr. Cruz around, she couldn’t do anything to harm the old lady or Lucille. Anything else she did, even if she turned the world upside down, had nothing to do with them!
Robert returned to the hospital room to stay with his grandmother and Lucille.
In a pitch–black basement.
Maricela was curled up in a corner, shivering.
She had been brought here by force. She didn’t know who had captured her, where this place was, or even how long she had been locked up.

Her phone had been taken the moment she was caught. Then she was brought here. It was pitch- black. She had no idea how much time had passed, or if it was night or day outside. Of course, there was no food either.
She was very hungry.
But she was even more scared.
Mainly, the men who had grabbed her today… their leader was terrifying. Just thinking about him now sent a chill down her spine.
She searched her memory but couldn’t recall who this person could be.
But the terror of the moment she was thrown in swept over her again.
Literally thrown.
Thrown down the stairs. She tumbled several times before stopping. All she knew was that her whole body ached as if it had been taken apart, and she didn’t know if she had any broken bones…
Then, a dim light turned on inside.
Someone was walking down the stairs.
A lot of people.
The man in the lead was wearing sunglasses.
Wearing sunglasses in such a dark place… was it so no one would recognize him?
But it was pointless. She couldn’t recognize him anyway, because she couldn’t see clearly at all.
The men were all wearing masks, surrounding the leader in the black shirt as they came down.
“What do you want?
I’m going to call the police!”
She shouted a few times at first.
But the leader’s voice was icy. “Call the police?
To tell them you instigated Jaxon to kidnap an old woman, or to tell them what you did abroad?
Katherine Ford?”
