Chapter 275
Right in that instant, Jolly called, to which Rachel answered the call.
“Chris, I’ve sent some men to Westomania to rescue the child, and I’m heading there now as well. If you see Mr. Onfroy before me, be sure to tell him that his wife and child will be fine.”
“Wait, don’t come, Jolly. Have your men retreat too.”
“What? Why?”
“Robin’s target isn’t Mr. Onfroy, but us.”
The reason Robin set up a one-man game of abduction and blackmail was solely to draw Rachel and Jolly out. With the evidence falling right into his hands, he could deliver it to Justin and Arthur. Jason, on the other hand, sure had made full use of his hard-earned experience given how he managed to figure out the
existence of the string pullers behind Phase Three Land’s drama and even figured out that Rachel and Jolly were involved.
Soon, Robin brought Mr. Onfroy and his friends to Westomania. The night had set in, and one could hardly see a thing.
“I’ve followed you here. Where’s my daughter?” Mr. Onfroy was sitting in the car, frustrated.
After putting out the cigarette in his hand, Robin threw it onto the ground before stomping on the dying ember with his leather sole. “Patience, my guy. Our guest isn’t even here yet.”
“What do you really want?”
“To put the conspiracy between you, Rachel, and the bitch from Carter Enterprise into record, of course. Well, make sure you know what and not to say once she arrives.”
Mr. Onfroy’s face blanched. “What are you talking about? What conspiracy? Where’s my daughter?”
“Will you only regret when you see her body? Or are you sick of her? Seems to me you need some ‘incentives.” Having said that, he revealed his phone screen to Mr. Onfroy, where his daughter’s laughter could be heard. It was a video of her daughter riding the carousel alone that afternoon.
Seeing her daughter’s figure, Mr. Onfroy was visibly triggered. “Klee!”
Robin swiftly withdrew his phone. “So what will it be? Are you going to talk?”
Gritting his teeth, Mr. Onfroy changed his decision. “I’ll talk.”
“Rachel goaded you into doing this, right? And what did she have you do?”
“Yes, it was Rachel’s instructions. She told me not to move even if it costs my life. She even fabricated a conflict to anger the demolition team, causing them to start a brawl. She told me not to resolve the matter privately no matter how bad the feud became…”
Meanwhile, Robin recorded all of Mr. Onfroy’s words with a recording pen in his hand.
“Great. Now all we have to do is await their arrival. Just repeat whatever you just said, and change not a word. Capisce? Oh, you were asking for your daughter’s whereabouts, yes?” Robin turned to a dazzling Ferris wheel far away from them. “See that? The brightest spot is where your daughter is. She’s gonna have to stay there for a while.”
Upon those words, Mr. Onfroy’s face paled.
Robin then snickered. “But don’t worry. She has friends with her.”
After a long time, vehicles could be heard outside the theme park.
“Someone’s approaching, President Gunson.”
“Aren’t they a little too late? The sky’s so dark already!” Robin smugly gazed at the theme park’s gates, while Mr. Onfroy remained shocked, not daring to raise his head.
Disorganized footsteps were nearing in toward them. “There, right there!” Before Robin realized it, he was ambushed by flashlights that illuminated their murky surroundings, followed by the close-in of a swarm of reporters. “It’s Burton Group’s President Gunson! Mr. Onfroy is here too!”
Robin was stupefied. “Why are the reporters here?”
His assistant beside him, too, panicked. “I’ve got no idea. We disclosed not a thing about this!” As he was speaking, the reporters were already raising their “weapons” at them.
