Alexander was beside himself with worry, so he wasn't in the mood to think about that. "What happened to Everleigh?"
"You've seen the video. You know who did it, don't you?"
"The Godfreys, what a pathetic excuse for human beings," Alexander said, somehow categorizing Theodore into it.
Back then, it had been the Godfrey family who had caused Everleigh's accident. If he hadn't made preparations in advance, Everleigh might have been in trouble.
However, now, she was treading on the fine line between death and life. How could he be at ease?
He feared that if she continued to stay with Theodore, it was only a matter of time before she lost her life.
Theodore did not refute. This was indeed the work of the Godfrey family.
"What would you have done if you knew it was your father's doing? Just let him go?"
Hearing this, Theodore snickered, as if he had heard a funny joke. The hatred in his eyes gushed out like a fountain.
"Let him go? Hell no."
Alexander looked at his sneering and felt a twinge of fear. Yes, he was scared. For a moment, he seemed to have beheld an enraged lion, ready to tear apart the hunter in front of it.
He felt as if Theodore would kill Wilson for Everleigh.
And on top of that, he would use means that showed zero mercy.
This time, neither of them opened their mouths to speak.
On the other hand, Wilson came to the foothills alone, with Christopher tailing him at a distance behind. The appearance of a vehicle in the secluded mountain would raise suspicion of the other side.
However, just as Wilson turned the engine off, he happened to see Christopher's car.
With misgivings springing up in his heart, he started the car and drove forward, but this time, instead of going to the kidnappers, he took the other road down the hill. He came premeditated, and everything here was familiar to him.
As he drove, he called the kidnappers. "Kill Everleigh."
"Wait, what?" "I told you to kill Everleigh," Wilson growled angrily. He had been found out, and now, there was nothing left. Even if he had to die, he had to drag Everleigh with him.
The kidnapper hung up the phone and looked at Everleigh, who was on the verge of death. His eyes flashed as he said directly to his men, "Come on, we're bailing."
"What's wrong?"
"We've been exposed. Mr. Godfrey told us to leave them here. Well be caught if we don't escape now."
The other kidnappers didn't say a word, but turned around and went out. No one had time to care about this half-dead woman.
Christopher realized something was awry, and he quickly stepped on the gas and followed Wilson down the hill. He called Theodore and said, "Hurry up and go up the hill. I'm going after Wilson. He seems to have noticed me."
When Theodore and Alexander heard this, they immediately panicked and sped up.
Watching them run away, Erine was floored. They had no intention to bring the two ladies along.
She was even more distraught. If they left, she had no way to untie the rope and had to wait for death.
"Help! Help!" Erine shouted from the doorway, to which only her echo was heard.
"Is anyone there? Help!" She shouted louder, but there was still no other movement.
She burst into tears at once. What should she do?
