My house’s walls’ thickness is three times the average. Save your energy,” Ashton said as he beamed.Samantha clenched her fists tightly, her eyes were red. “Ashton, don’t be rash, you’re a talented young man with a bright future, don’t ruin it!”“Shut up!” Ashton strode toward Samantha, grabbed her hair, and shouted. “Ruin my future? Let me be honest with you, my future is already gone!

That said, I’m also back to bring you good news. It’s a lucrative money-making project.”“Oh?” Granny replied with her eyebrows raised. “Do tell.”Indeed, members of the Lyndon clan had heard that Wentworth made a lot of money overseas.

“Mom! We can’t drag Darryl into this…” persuadedLily. “Can’t drag him?” laughed Samantha. “Darryl stayed with us for three years while we Lyndons fed him, it’s him who dragged us down for three years! Quickly, let him in here!” Ashton smiled as he held the dagger tightly in his hand. He had nothing left, and it was expected for him to have come this far. Swapping hostages? Impossible! “Ashton, why are you being such a piece of trash?” Darryl smiled saying as he walked toward the windows. It was the only thing between him and Ashton now. “You gained a liking for my wife, but she doesn’t like you. So you’re mad now? Are you even a man?” “Shut the f*ck up!”Ashton was extremely agitated!

Shut up?” Darryl laughed, “Ashton, you’re one sad man. You have nothing left now, your company got rid of you t

Quickly, let him swap as a hostage!” Megan felt helpless, but even so, she nodded her head at Darryl. “Let them go,” said Darryl coldly. In the room, Ashton clenched his fists tightly seeing Darryl walking in. He untied the ropes on Samantha and Lily to let them go, and immediately grabbed and held on to Darryl! “Both of you, leave now,” ordered Darryl as he looked at Lily. Lily felt tears in her eyes. This man was willing to be a hostage in place of her! “Let’s go quickly!” Samantha came to her senses. She pulled Lily and left the room without turning back. Outside the house, the police and the Lyndon clan

What? Megan looked into the house through the windows. Indeed, Ashton had placed the dagger on the floor and was kneeling in front of Darryl! What happened? Megan felt that it was unbelievable! It was a first for her to see a criminal kneeling down for a hostage! The policemen surrounding the house were stunned as well and did not know what to say!
