To Jared, the dagger against Ellen’s neck felt like it was against his heart. If Ellen were hurt, his heart would shatter at the same time. At this moment, Jared’s heart rate was beyond normal, as if he was reacting to Ellen’s life- threatening situation with worry.
Gavin was struggling inwardly at the moment. He would rather kill Jared so that he could face his son when he went to the afterworld. Killing Ellen was irrelevant, but killing Jared would give him more satisfaction.
Gavin looked at the leader pinned to the ground and said, ‘Let him go and bring him over here.” With a signal from Jared, the bodyguard released him, and the leader immediately said to Gavin, “What the f*ck do you want me to do?!” “Tie this person up and bring him to me,” Gavin ordered.
“Why should I listen to you?’ The leader hated Gavin for having offended such an influential person. “Everyone has to listen to me here. Now, do as I say!” Gavin shouted.
The leader came over reluctantly. Jared took the initiative to take a rope from his bodyguard and handed it to the leader. The leader took the rope and a gleam of slyness in his eyes. He knew Gavin was doomed, but he might be spared if he helped Jared.
Moreover, this young man who drove a top- notch sports car was from a wealthy family, so they couldn’t afford to offend him. If this young man suffered any injury, they would be doomed.
The leader had practiced many rope-tying techniques, one of which could be easily untied. At the moment, he used this technique while tying the rope and deliberately told Gavin, “We want to get out safely. Once we leave, you can kill whomever you want. Otherwise, I won’t help you.”
Gavin agreed, “Okay, just tie him up and bring him over. I’ll get them to release you.” After the leader finished tying him up, he deliberately shouted to Jared, “Die, b*tch!”
After that, he secretly signaled to Jared where his rope was located and finally revealed at pleading look.
