Howard was shocked to see Gwen. "Why are you here?"

"I should be the one asking you that."

Gwen looked at the unconscious Jane behind Howard. "Let's find a place to talk, you and me."

"But …" Howard hesitated for a while.

"Alright, we'll talk."

Then, Gwen led Howard to a quieter part on the corner of the street. They stopped there. Gwen asked directly, "Why are you kidnapping Claude's granddaughter?"

"I …" Howard furrowed his brow.

"This is my personal matter. Don't ask. I don't want to get anyone involved."

"Does Yvonne know about this?"

Howard shook his head. "She doesn't know."

"Do you think that she wouldn't get involved in this?"

Gwen said unhappily, "Howard, you're one of Yvonne's men. If Claude wants to go after you, do you think he won't look for Yvonne?

"I thought you would know how to differentiate right from wrong after having been at the border for such a long time. Who would have thought that you would still be so reckless?"

"I …" Howard lowered his head.
