The man, upon hearing the sound, didn't hesitate and immediately agreed. "Okay."
When Rachel heard this answer, a flash of shock passed through her eyes. She didn't expect this child to be so important to Elliot.
With the confidence of having caught Elliot's weakness, her emotions relaxed a bit, and her eyes shimmered with an eerie light.
"My conditions are not just limited to these."
Elliot's eyes darkened, and he spoke in a low voice to calm down.
"You can say anything you want, I will do my best to satisfy you, as long as you don't hurt the child."
Rachel's lips curled slightly as she spoke of her ultimate goal.
"I want to leave here, and you need to safely escort me out of the border."
"If you don't agree, then this child can die now."
She slowly traced the knife over the ropes binding Leah.
Without any hesitation, Elliot agreed to her request and did his best to keep Rachel steady.
"Sure, which country would you like to go to?"
"United Kingdom."
Rachel breathed a sigh of relief when she heard him agree, and two words escaped her lips as she looked forward to her future life.
At this moment, the glass window on the second floor suddenly made a crisp sound.
The glass shattered instantly, and the SWAT climbed in quickly.
Rachel turned her head in shock, looking behind her. She couldn't understand why there was a noise when Elliot and Rose were right downstairs.
Before she could come to her senses, she was quickly subdued by the rushing special police.
When Rachel was caught, she exclaimed in disbelief, "You... you actually called the police?"
Rose, standing downstairs, immediately ran up upon seeing the appearance of the special police.
She stood at the edge of the second floor, reaching out to grab her daughter's hand, trying to put the child down.
Rachel suddenly broke free from the control of the special police and rushed forward, blocking in front of Rose.
"Rose, do you really think your daughter is safe just because the police have arrived?"
Rose stared at the woman who suddenly blocked her way, and her pupils shrank abruptly.
Rachel knew there was no hope of escape, but she couldn't help but smile smugly when she saw the look of nervousness on Rose's face.
"Haha, Rose, do you know what fear feels like now?" She laughed softly, her expression contorted with a manic desperation.
