Chapter 139
Liam’s face crashed into the remnants of the meal on the table, and the sharp edge of a broken plate sliced his skin,
blood pouring out instantly.
“Mr. Wright…please spare me,” he begged, his voice hoarse. “It’s our fault for not recognizing the situation and upsetting you. You’re magnanimous, Don’t hold it against us commum folks, just let us go……“
They couldn’t comprehend why Ethan had suddenly turned so hostile when everything had seemed fine just moments ago. They even imagined themselves enjoying a life of privilege at the Wright Villa,
How did he come back so suddenly filled with anger after going out? Liam thought, puzzled,
After a moment of contemplation, as if he had come up with something brilliant, he self–importantly suggested. “Mr. Wright, the matter of Noah being captured has nothing to do with us. It’s all Audrey’s fault. Once we catch her, we’ll bring her to you, and you can
Ethan’s face darkened as he delivered a swift kick to Liam’s lower back, grabbing his head and slamming it down onto the tiled floor
You clueless must, how dare you mention that woman! Do you really think you can afford to provoke her?” Ethan bellowed.
Liam’s

was buzzing, and he couldn’t regain his composure.
Beside him. William was so terrified that he lost control of his bladder, scrambling on the floor to beg for mercy. “Im sorry! We know we WETE wrong. Mr. Wright Please spare us!”
Recovering from her immense pain, Layla crawled over to cling to Ethan’s leg, tears streaming down her face “Mr. Wright, please let us de knowing what we did wrong. What have we done to deserve this?”
Ethan’s eyes flashed with pain as he kicked the foolish woman away.
Exhausted from the exertion, he placed his hands on his hips, panting with rage as he gritted his teeth. “If you hadn’t said Audrey’s husband was a nobody, I wouldn’t have offended someone I shouldn’t have.
“Even if I killed all three of you, it wouldn’t ease the hatred in my heart
“Audrey’s husband? A big shot! Layla thought.
Her swollen eyes widened in disbelief. “No.. it can’t be Eliot said that the man is just a kept guy, and that even the car was bought by Audrey. How could he possibly be a big shot? There must be some mistake. Mr. Wright, it’s not our fault!”
“Do the police make mistakes?” Ethan’s anger boiled over as he kicked her twice. “The police chief told me himself that Audrey’s husband is Mr. Hayes from Willowdale. Do you know who Mr. Hayes is?”
Cowering on the floor, Layla curled into a ball, shaking her head in panic. Tve never heard of this person. He couldn’t be some thug, could he? she thought.
“The Hayes family from Willowdale is the wealthiest in the country. Mr. Hayes is a prominent business magnate, someone even politicians need to pay respects to. Ethan stated
“What The Harper family was completely dumbfounded as they wondered, Audrey secretly married such an incredible figure… have we really offended her this time?”
Before Layla could spiral into despair, Ethan continued to curse at her. “You old hag, how dare you say he’s a kept guy? You’ve ruined everything for
Turled by even more anger, Ethan turned to the kitchen and retrieved a chef’s knife. “All three of my sons are now in the police station and likely
won’t come out. You three can go down there to keep them company.
Since their family couldn’t escape this time, Ethan was determined to take a few scapegoats with him, even if it meant dying.
Terrified, Liam and Layla scrambled on the ground, desperately trying to escape. The coll blade glinted ominously as Ethan brought it down toward Willum, who could barely move.
The air was filled with a foud stench as William, sli
stocked, lost control of his bladder and fainted.
Just as the krule was about to sever William’s head, the sound of rapid, coordinated footsteps echoed at the entrance. The villa door was violently pushed agen
A multitude of heavily armed SWAT officers surged inside. Don’t movel Everyone, raise your hands!”
The officer leading the charge fixed a cold state at the kudde in Ethan’s hand, speaking in a stern voice. “Ethan, you are suspected of money laundering and are now surrounded. Drop your weapon and do not resist,

The SWAT team advanced, weapons drawn, ready to shoot Ethan dead if he made any sudden moves.
Ethan didn’t expect the police to arrive so quickly, a wave of despair washed over him. ‘It’s over… I’m completely finished, he thought.
His grip weakened, and the knife fell directly onto William..

Liam crawled toward the police, tears and snot streaming down his face as he shouted “Officers, you’ve finally arrived! He’s trying to kill us! People like him should be arrested and sentenced to death!”
Thinking that their family had been so badly beaten, Liam assumed the police would feel sympathy.
But the officers merely exchanged a cold glance and responded with an official tone. “You three are suspected of colluding with criminals to kidnap and harm a young lady. You’ll have to come with us to the police station.
