Logan was infuriated. As the prestigious scion of a wealthy family, he had always been respected by many ever since he was a child. Since when had he ever suffered such mistreatment?
There were some horrifying bruises on his neck, and several shards of glass had punctured his palms. Logan slowly got up from the ground and looked at Lucas with a look of hatred in his eyes. “Don’t forget that your bastard is still in my hands!”
With a gloomy expression, Lucas asked, “Are you threatening me?”
“Yes! I’m threatening you. I want you to give up everything! If you want to collect the corpse of your bastard, you can continue being arrogant in front of me! Hahahaha! At most, we’ll fight till the end and perish together!” Logan laughed maniacally.
Overwhelmed with fury, Lucas snorted coldly and sneered. “Fight till the end? I didn’t provoke you. You chose to mess with me first. I’m giving you a chance now. As long as you hand my daughter over, I can let you off for what happened today.”
Logan laughed arrogantly. “Hmph, if you kneel down in front of me now and beg me, I might decide to be benevolent and tell you where she is!”
Lucas’s face became even gloomier. “Since you refuse to tell me, I’ll find her myself!”
“Haha, that depends on whether you have the ability to do so!” Logan exclaimed viciously while clutching his neck.
Suddenly, the sounds of shrieking began to spread from the bar downstairs. Soon, a burly man dressed in a dark green military uniform walked into the private room. As soon as he saw Lucas, he immediately performed a standard military salute. “Lucas, your brothers are all here. We have come to follow your orders!”
Lucas nodded slightly and commanded in a deep voice, “Everyone, search carefully. Even if you must dig three feet deep into the ground and tear down this bar, you must find a five-year-old girl!”
“Yes!” The man in the military uniform acknowledged and then turned around to disperse.
Logan immediately flew into a rage. “Stop! Who gave you the audacity to search my bar? This is a property of the Hales!”
Who are these people?!
It was illegal to possess military-grade weapons, but all these people were in possession of such arms!
They carefully searched every wall and floor for gaps and contraptions.
But even after such an intensive search, Amelia was nowhere to be found. But they managed to unearth some contraband items that were hidden in the bar.
Logan was so anxious that he had already broken into a sweat, but he dared not step forward to stop them.
Meanwhile, Scarlet had already silently moved to the door of the room. After looking outside and seeing the numerous soldiers and military weapons, she gasped and was so frightened that her legs turned into jelly. While shuddering and trembling, she tried to get back up on her feet and go to a corner to hide.
However, Jordan had long seen through Scarlet’s intentions, and he hurriedly grabbed her hair with one hand before dragging her toward Lucas.
“Please spare me! Spare me… It hurts!” Scarlet begged for mercy loudly and pretended to be pitiful. But she could not incite any sympathy within the men beside her.
Logan had no time to care about her, while Lucas and Jordan were extremely disgusted with her. They even detested her greatly.
Lucas lowered his head and looked coldly at Scarlet, who was lying beside his feet. “You were the one who abducted my daughter from the kindergarten, right? Tell me where you hid Amelia?”
Scarlet was overwhelmed with regret. Lucas and the people he brought made her feel horrified.
“Um… Lucas, I was too obsessed and muddled up at the time and took Amelia away. But I handed her to Mr. Hale. I don’t know where she is now…” Scarlet sobbed while hugging Lucas’s calf.
Lucas kicked her away in repulsion and barked, “There’s a limit to my patience. If you still won’t tell me the truth, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
He picked up a piece of broken glass by his feet and placed the sharp end against Scarlet’s face.
Scared soulless to the point of turning pale, Scarlet screamed and retreated frantically. However, Jordan grabbed her hair and held her in place, not allowing her to escape.
Forced to raise her head and feel the sharp glass shard being grazed against her face, Scarlet was so frightened that she burst into tears. “No, no! Don’t scratch my face, Lucas! Everything I just said is true. I really don’t know where Amelia is now. Logan Hale sent someone to take her away. Even I don’t know where she’s been taken!
“Lucas, on the account that I’m Cheyenne’s cousin, please spare me this time! I promise I’ll never go against you in the future or do something like this again!” Scarlet was bawling miserably with tears and mucus all over her face, looking extremely distressed and pathetic.
Lucas kicked Scarlet hard and roared furiously, “Trust you to have the cheek to say that Cheyenne is your cousin. When you were hatching a scheme to abduct my daughter from the kindergarten, have you ever thought that you were Amelia’s aunt? She’s only five years old, and you were fine with leaving her to strangers you don’t know without any regard for where she’d be taken or how she’d be treated! You’re just scum!
“Beforehand, you had been creating trouble for us, but I let you off on account that you’re Cheyenne’s cousin. Yet you weren’t remorseful, and instead, you went from bad to worse. You even did horrendous and inhumane things such as abducting Amelia and threatening Charlotte!
“Initially, I thought that if you could bring Amelia back safely, I would give you one last chance and let you off the hook. Unfortunately, you don’t know where she is. Since that’s the case, you are completely worthless now.”
As Lucas continued, his voice became deathly cold. To Scarlet, his voice became increasingly horrifying, and when he said the last sentence, she felt that her death was imminent!
