At first, she felt wronged for being taken as an aunt, but now she felt this identity was good, allowing her to accuse the Thompson family from a moral high ground and making it easier to win sympathy.

“If you don’t hand over Gabriel, we’ll go to the police and see if you Thompson people still have any shame!”

“Go ahead and call the police then.” A cold voice interrupted.

At the hospital room door, Molly Walker stood upright, her white coat hiding her figure, her face as small as a palm but incredibly gorgeous, her beautiful eyes filled with coldness.

Upon seeing her, Amanda Leaford’s face was filled with panic: “Didn’t I ask you not to come?”

Molly gave her a reassuring look and turned to Lily Turner: “Gillian Thompson is missing, why didn’t you call the police?”

Confronted by Molly’s gaze, Lily panicked and thought of her previous kidnapping. She stammered, “You are Gabriel’s family, and it’s only natural for us to come to you if she’s missing.”

“She doesn’t belong to our family,” Joshua Thompson walked in, a disdainful expression on his bold handsome face. “She not only hurt others and herself but also bribed a shamans and played the scheme of sowing discord. It’s good she’s missing, so she doesn’t hurt others any more. Aren’t you her parents? If you want to call the police, go ahead. It may be too late if you wait any longer, and being sold into the mountains is just a small matter. Losing organs and getting dismembered is the real tragedy.”

Upon hearing this, Lily’s face instantly turned pale, and Xander Moore’s hand, holding a knife, clearly trembled.

Sold into the mountains? Dismembered?

Imagining such a scene, Xander’s eyes reddened.

Over the years, Gillian Thompson sent them money every year, creating their idle temperament and habit of asking for money whenever they needed it. Without Gillian Thompson, not only would their son’s illness be untreated, but their future life would also become a big problem.

Gabriel must not have any accidents!

“That’s right.” Molly narrowed her eyes and glanced at them. “Since you brought it up, I won’t beat around the bush with you about some things.”

“The one who kidnapped me last time was both of you, right?”

It was like a thunderbolt waking them from their dreams!

Lily’s mouth trembled uncontrollably.

Molly smiled faintly: “I was too busy before to deal with you, but now that you’ve come here, I might as well settle the accounts with you.”

Xander quickly blocked his wife, his face alert, “You’re talking nonsense! We didn’t kidnap you!”

Last time, Gillian had said she’d helped them cover up the kidnapping, and it should have been perfectly concealed, leaving no evidence.

Xander’s heart thumped wildly.

Molly laughed and pointed to Lily’s arm, “Her forearm has a red birthmark, and I remember her voice very clearly.”

As her words fell, several SWAT officers with guns walked in from outside.

The atmosphere grew tense.

Lily was dumbfounded; she hadn’t expected the SWAT team to show up.

Seeing the SWAT officers, Molly paused and instinctively looked at Michael Gallagher standing outside.

Michael leaned against the wall, his gaze firmly on her, his eyebrows furrowed, as if he were still worried about her safety.

The SWAT captain nodded to Michael and greeted him briefly.

Molly smiled helplessly; she had only wanted to call security, but Michael had called the SWAT team.

Upon seeing the well-equipped SWAT officers, Xander’s hand instantly softened, and the machete fell to the ground with a clang.

He only wanted to know the whereabouts of Gabriel and maybe extort some money at most, but he never intended to hurt anyone.

But now the counter-terrorism SWAT team was involved.

This matter probably wouldn’t end well.

Xander’s face was ashen, trembling with fear.

“Dad! Mom!” A panicky voice sounded, and Gillian Thompson stumbled in, “There’s a misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding!”

Gillian looked fearfully at the SWAT officers: “I’m fine now, officer. My father is not a bad person, they just got emotional because they couldn’t find me. This is a private matter for our family. We can solve it ourselves.”

The leading SWAT officer looked at Michael and asked in a low voice, “Mr. Jenkins, are you sure you can handle this on your own?”

His gaze swept over the fallen machete.

If someone were injured, the SWAT counter-terrorism team would have to be involved.

Capital City had always been safe, especially during the New Year period, and nothing should go wrong.

Michael said nothing, softly looking at Molly, as if asking for her opinion.

Settle privately or go public?

Nicholas Thompson stood beside Gillian, watching this scene, his lips moving, but he only ended up looking at Gillian, asking, “They’re your parents, what do you want to do?”

Her parents had threatened the Thompson family with a machete; what could she do?

Gillian’s face was pale, and there was silence in her heart.

She stood in the middle, trembling like a fallen leaf in the wind.

Her haggard appearance surprised everyone present.

“Gabriel, what happened to you? How did you become like this?” Lily finally found her voice, staring at her daughter with horror.

Gillian’s nose seemed crooked, her eyes deformed, especially her jawbone, which had become thin and changed shape.

The atmosphere was terribly cold.

“Gabriel, what happened to you? Was it this woman who did it?” Lily screamed, holding her daughter and pointing at Molly, “You took everything from Gabriel and you’re still not satisfied, you even want to destroy her looks! You have such a ruthless heart, aren’t you afraid that retribution will fall upon your child?”

With a slap, Amanda grabbed Lily and slapped her hard across the face.

Lily was stunned.

“Slap!” Amanda backhanded her with another slap and said coldly, “You talk about retribution, well today I’ll show you what retribution is!”

“Do you want to settle this privately or publicly?” Amanda stared coldly at Gillian.

Facing Amanda’s sarcastic, cold gaze, Gillian’s heart plummeted.

She looked at Nicholas for help and was about to speak when Joshua stepped in front of her with a playful smile, “Stop looking for reinforcements, no one will help you.”

This was a naked threat.

Nicholas lowered his eyes, looking at his toes motionlessly.

Gillian clenched her teeth and pleaded with Nicholas, “Second brother, please help my parents. They’re innocent. They didn’t go to school and didn’t know that what they did was a crime. I’ve lost everything and don’t want to lose my parents too.”

As she spoke, the room fell into a deadly silence.

Molly understood and smirked, not surprised by this development.

Gillian had grabbed Nicholas’s weakness, and he had become her last straw.

Nicholas looked up, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the room before finally settling on Molly.

He knew that the final decision was up to her.

Looking at Gillian’s nearly disfigured face, a soft spot in Nicholas’s heart began to stir. frёeωebɳovel.com

Before he could speak, Joshua mocked, “Nicholas, I advise you to shut up.”

As brothers, he immediately knew what Nicholas was thinking.

“With all the bad things Gillian did and her parents kidnapping Fourth Sister, you’re not crazy enough to let a tiger return to the mountain, are you?”
