Chapter 128
Nicholas stood before the kidnapper and took the rod away, then he slammed his foot into the man’s chest. “How dare you?”
He came straight to her location after she told him where he was, but it was dizzying in the mountains, and he could only know her rough location even with the GPS, so he spent a lot of time finding her. He was already furious that Gregory was kidnapped, but when he saw Tessa hurt and Gregory bawling in her arms, he was enraged. His fury swept across the room and made everyone shiver.
The kidnapper’s leader couldn’t get up after he was kicked, and he looked pale. He curled up on the ground and spasmed, while the other kidnappers trembled in fear. They didn’t help their boss, nor did they go against Nicholas. They didn’t even dare to escape, and all they could do was stare in disbelief.
The cops arrived and caught all the kidnappers easily, then they pinned the perpetrators down.
“Tessa? Are you alright, Tessa?” Timothy ignored the kidnappers and went toward his sister.
Tessa eased up the moment she saw Nicholas. She knew they were saved, and all her strength left her. She couldn’t even move a muscle, so all she could do was smile. “I’m fine.”
Timothy was shocked, but he didn’t touch Tessa in case he made things worse. “Shh, shh. You have to save your strength, Tessa.”
“Greg!” Kieran quickly went to pick the crying boy up to check up on him. “Are you hurt, Gregory? Tell me. I’ll mess them up if they hurt you.”
Gregory was still bawling, but he shook his head and looked at Tessa. “But Miss Tessa is.”
Kieran looked at Tessa’s wound, and he frowned. She’s badly hurt. Those guys must be trying to kill her. She was protecting Gregory, or he would have been the one who was hurt. That would be a disaster. The thought that Gregory might have been hurt so badly enraged Kieran. How dare they hurt my nephew? They just signed a death warrant. He looked at the kidnappers, but when he saw who the leader was, his eyes widened. “Lionel? It’s you?”
Lionel used to be one of Sawyer Group’s suppliers, and Kieran used to be the one working with him, so they knew each other. However, six months ago, Lionel, who had been working honestly all this time, provided subpar products for a big client and caused Sawyer Group to incur a huge loss.
When the company found out, Nicholas ordered everyone to stop working with Lionel and demanded a huge sum of compensation from him. Lionel was also blacklisted. Kieran explained the situation to Nicholas, though he never thought Lionel would vent his anger on a boy.
Nicholas looked at Lionel darkly. He tried to hurt my son because I stopped the partnership with him? Unforgivable.
Since Kieran recognized him, Lionel knew it was no use hiding anymore, so he smiled. “Nicholas, Kieran, you guys are only successful because you’re born with a silver spoon, while I worked my way up. You guys called me unscrupulous just because I made one mistake? You guys have enough money for your grandkids’ grandkids! But yet you came for a layman like me. Disgusting.”
