Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1280

Janine's neck was scraped, and blood began to seep out.

Albert took the gun from Desiree and pointed it at Janine's temple.

This was his pre-planned move.

Once his crimes were exposed, he would find a way to kidnap Janine or someone from the Hamertons to escape unharmed.

"Zephyr!" Albert raised his chin. "Order your people to step back!"

Zephyr gnashed his teeth, his fists trembling.

He didn't expect Albert to enter the venue with a gun despite their preparations. Passing security checks was beyond imagination!

Cordelia discreetly held his hand. She realized there must be a traitor within the Hamertons collaborating with Albert. Unfortunately, they didn't have time to figure out who it was now.

Zephyr reluctantly raised his hand, gesturing for everyone to step back.

"Not bad!" Albert sneered, dragging Janine toward the door.

Cordelia stepped forward calmly. "Mr. Harper, it'll be hard to end things if we let it get out of hand. It'll be a lose-lose situation for both sides. Tell us your conditions, and we'll meet them.

"Don't forget you still have a daughter." Cordelia glanced at Desiree. "We're both parents. We want a way out for our children no matter what, right?"

Cordelia noticed the fear in Desiree's eyes, a sheltered young lady who had never experienced such a situation.
