Chapter 252
Jim struggled to speak, and his breath was thin.
“I didn’t harm Mr. Kingston. What do you want me to say? I beg you to release my wife and daughter! Matthew… I beg you!”
Ryan’s expression darkened upon hearing this, and he pressed Jim’s head underwater again. Daniel saw water splashing onto Ryan’s arm as Jim struggled.
He walked up to Ryan with a cigarette in his mouth and handed one to Ryan. “I still prefer using golf clubs. Every swing draws blood,” he said casually.
“I don’t like the sight of blood,” Ryan said.
He took the cigarette with his bandaged hand and held it between his fingers without lighting it.
It wasn’t until Jim stopped struggling that he pulled him out and tossed him to the ground
with one hand.
Jim coughed up water, gasping heavily and curling up on the floor.
He tried to kneel, but his body had lost all strength, and he collapsed again on the slippery
floor.
“I know… I know I won’t be spared! Matthew!” Jim crawled toward Ryan. He then grabbed onto the cuff of Ryan’s pants and looked up at him. “Matthew, I really didn’t harm Mr. Kingston. I beg you to release my wife and daughter!
“You’ve eaten lasagna made by my wife before, and you held Mandy when she was a child. You used to treat her like a sister!”
Jim still had some wit left.
Now that he learned Matthew had assumed Ryan’s identity, there was no way Matthew would let him continue living.
Ryan Lambert would face relentless retaliation if it were exposed that he was the son of Robert Kingston, the man who had cooperated with the police to dismantle international criminal organizations in the past.
The criminal organizations were so vengeful that even the police officers who sacrificed themselves couldn’t have their photos released until three generations had passed.
Chapter 252
2/2
As the CEO of the Lambert Corporation, Ryan was a prime target for revenge.
Jim remembered Matthew as the most gentle and softhearted person he knew.
He now had to find a way to convince Ryan to spare his family.
He had to swear that he hadn’t harmed Mr. Kingston, or his wife and daughter would truly have no way out.
“Bring his wife and daughter here,” Ryan said.
Jim tensed up instantly, showing immense fear. “Matthew! Matthew, I beg of you. They don’t know anything!”
