I lost my balance and stumbled. Just as I was about to fall off the stage, a pair of strong hands firmly caught me.>
Alastair said, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.“}
Clayton’s face darkened, he became aggressive and threatened, “Are you still not willing to let Angelina go? Do you believe me? With just one word from me, today’s incident will trend on social media! Let’s see who will still help you then!“}
Old Dean coldly looked at Alastair and asked, “This is the good woman you speak of?“}
Alastair merely forced a smile and nodded at him, he said, “Sorry, I will handle this today.”}
After he spoke, he turned to look at Clayton and said, “Mr. Kidman, you have time to make things difficult for my wife, but you could use that time to raise the money and buy your lover back.“}
He continued, “By the way, I forgot to tell you, the dark web belongs to me. I set it up to get justice for Sienna. You’ve been cursing the wrong person.”
His words stirred up a huge storm. The noise in the venue instantly stopped.”
No one could afford to offend the Kidman Family. Alastair’s one sentence outweighed a thousand words.
Clayton had expected the scene to unfold with me being called off the wedding, humiliated in front of everyone. But what unfolded before him was unexpected. His face instantly turned pale.
He asked, “What did you say?“}
Alastair answered, “I said, your lover is the one I took. You want her back? Pay the price. You don’t have much time left. Given your excessive humiliation of my wife, I’ve decided, every hour, I’ll cut off two of her fingers.“}
He added, “In the tenth hour, I’ll make her baby be born prematurely. If you don’t believe me, you can try. I, Alastair Kidman, never lie.“} Clayton thought Alastair was joking. His body shook uncontrollably and his face turned ashen, “No, this can’t be! I don’t believe you’d go this far for a woman like Sienna! She’s a lunatic. What on earth do you see in her!“}
Alastair didn’t respond, only held me tighter and said, “You can’t see her good side, but I’m not blind.“>
With that, he glanced at his watch and ordered his men, “An hour has passed. Bring it in.”
The next second, a bodyguard brought a gift box. Fresh blood was still dripping from it.” Inside were two of Angelina’s fingers, the wedding ring still on the base of the fingers.
The moment Clayton recognized the contents, he lost his mind and rushed outside. He thought of called the police, but that thought was immediately shattered.
For Angelina’s safety, he didn’t have the courage. Angelina’s prenatal check–up papers were scattered, tightly clutched in his hands. Between selling his assets and abandoned Angelina, he quickly made his decision.
With Alastair’s private arrangements, his company was sold at a drastically lowered price.}]
But Clayton didn’t care anymore. He believed that with his own ability, he could rise again. What he never knew was that the only reason he had come this far was because the Monroe Family had been backing him all along
In the second hour, he sold the company. He received Angelina’s two other fingers.
In the third hour, he sold all his properties. Still, he couldn’t escape the fate of losing more fingers.
In the fourth hour, he gathered enough money and made the transaction on the dark web. When the payment arrived, the other party finally sent him an address.
By the time he got there, all that remained was Angelina, lay in a pool of blood. Beside her, there was a tape. On the tape, it read: “A gift for Clayton, no need to thank me.”
He looked at Angelina’s tragic appearance, he couldn’t hold back his tears any longer. After sent her into the operating room, he finally had time to play the tape.
The moment the video started, he froze.
