Later, with her help, he made it out alive. They hid in an abandoned water tank, listening to the footsteps of the kidnappers pacing back and forth above their heads.
The girl’s trembling fingers tightly covered his mouth, even though she was also scared and could have stayed out of it, but she took the risk to save him.
He will never forget those bright clear eyes in his whole life, he will never forget that period of dark and hopeless experience.
“What makes you think you can say that to my mother?”
“If it weren’t for your mother covering for you back then, just letting your mistress buy a hitman to kidnap your own son, that’s enough to have you removed from the Shillingford family tree.”
Quinn looked up at Patrick’s flushed face, his gaze sharp as ice.

“How was I?”
He looked up, with a challenging gaze.
“Patrick, I told you straight up today, as long as I’m around, that

“Roderick, my parents couldn’t make it last minute.”
She got up, walked closer in her high heels, and the sweet scent of perfume almost enveloped people.
“How about we chat first?”

Roderick was about to turn around when Matilda suddenly lunged forward and grabbed his tie.
His hot breath was spraying on her neck, and she was almost hanging on him.
“Roderick, I don’t want to divorce! Ever since I first met you, I…”
“Let go!”
Roderick grabbed her wrist, pushed her away, and turned to twist the doorknob.
When the chill of metal hit him, his heart sank.
