Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 527

Lincoln Steelworks was pitch black.

Little Jelly Bean was tied to a chair and her eyes were covered with a black piece of cloth. Her face was tear-stained.

“Boohoo… Dad… Monty… Quickly come and save me boohoo…”

As the little girl continuously cried out of fear, Jean felt a little fidgety and irritated at the noise. She chided Little Jelly Bean, “I’ll chop off your tongue if you continue to cry!”

“...”

Little Jelly Bean was frightened, her body trembling with fear. She immediately shut her mouth and could not help but choke on her tears. The sight was incredibly pitiful.

Jean sneered. “You’re Yannis Gaunt’s only granddaughter. She must love you dearly. If I were to slash your fair, tender face a few times, Yannis will surely hate me to death, right? Hahaha…”

Upon saying that, Jean took the knife in her hand and patted it against Little Jelly Bean’s face. As Little Jelly Bean was still a young child, she was frightened and started to wail again.

“Dad, there’s a bad guy here… Dad, quickly come and save me… This woman is so evil, boohoo…”

“Don’t worry. Your dad and uncle will be here soon.”

They were given an hour and in the last five minutes, Heaton and Yandel hastily arrived at Lincoln Steelworks. They burst open the door and strode into the factory.

Yandel glared at Jean with his cold gaze. “Jean Weil, it’s indeed you!”

The moment Heaton entered the factory, he saw Little Jelly Bean’s reddened, tear-stained face, her whole body quivering in fear. Little Jelly Bean was his daughter that he had raised since she was a baby. He could not bring himself to even hit or slap his daughter but now, she was tied to a chair, being threatened and intimidated by an enemy. Anger welled up in his chest as his hands clenched into tight fists. It was as if he was waiting to unleash his anger and punch someone at any time.

“We shouldn’t involve the kids in adult conflicts. What’s the point in kidnapping the kid? Release Little Jelly Bean and we can discuss terms!”

The moment Little Jelly Bean heard Heaton’s voice, she broke down and started bawling immediately. “Dad! Dad!”

Heaton could feel his heart bleeding in pain as Little Jelly Bean’s voice had become hoarse due to her constant crying. He could not help but comfort her in a soft, gentle voice. “Jelly Bean, don’t be afraid. Dad is here to save you. Don’t be scared. I’m here and will never let you get hurt.”

“Mm! Mm!” Little Jelly Bean nodded vigorously while crying.

Jean grabbed the knife and pressed it against Little Jelly Bean’s tender neck. “Where’s the money? Throw the money to me!”

Yandel threw the suitcase at her as it landed near her feet. “You can check the money in the suitcase. We’ve brought ten million over. What other request do you have in order to let Little Jelly Bean go?”

While being cautious of their surroundings, Jean used her leg to open the suitcase. The suitcase’s automatic lock feature sprang open. After making sure the money in the suitcase was real cash, she closed it with her leg.

Jean applied more pressure onto the knife resting against Little Jelly Bean’s neck. As Little Jelly Bean felt the sensation of pain on her neck, she frowned deeply. “Dad… I’m in pain…”

Heaton noticed the blood trickling down Little Jelly Bean’s neck and his pupils constricted due to both anger and fear. “Jean Weil! What on earth do you want!”

“You guys sent my son, Sean, into the jail while you happily lived your lives out there. As for me, not only has Eric filed for a divorce against me, I don’t even have my son by my side anymore. The identity and status I’ve been striving for most of my life were destroyed by your hands! And that Verian Mont! If I had strangled her to death after Yannis had just given birth to her, I would’ve been well-regarded as Mrs. Soan by now and you guys won’t be here talking to me!”

As she vented her anger, she applied more force onto the knife and Little Jelly Bean’s neck began to bleed more.

Heaton’s heart leaped into his throat in fear. “Don’t you want to just take the money and leave South City? Let go of Little Jelly Bean. I can become your hostage instead!”

“You be my hostage? You’re harder to control compared to this little brat. I won’t fall into your trap!”
