“Look, yes, I burned down your auction house, but your men asked for it. Ryan’s death isn’t my fault. Maria tortured me for days. She’s lucky I didn’t kill her right away, and now you think you can just take her with you? Tosh.” 

“What do you want, then?” 

Seated in his father’s customary chair, Jim casually addressed Josh, who stood at the hall’s center. 

“When my thirst for vengeance is quenched, then we’ll reassess my sentiments, he remarked nonchalantly. 

Josh, maintaining a pleasant demeanor, proposed, “Why not set a condition, Mr. Carter? Your influence is considerable; you could make it reasonable for a young girl.” 

With a visible display of disdain, even disgust, Jim retorted, “I wouldn’t take anything from your family. even for free. They’re disgusting.” 

Seeing Jim’s firm stance, Josh appeared somewhat helpless as he suggested, “If you’re set on revenge, I’m willing to offer myself in exchange for my sister.” 

I only beg for mercy, Josh implored. 

Observing Josh’s sincerity, Jim commented, “Do you truly share a strong bond with your sister? She’s never mentioned you.” 

“If I go home empty handed, I die. Saving her is just saving my own skin. A bitter smile played on Josh’s lips. 

Jim squinted, staring at Josh. 

Josh kept on, “When her father was told of your abduction, he told her to release you. He’d rather not make an enemy out of your family. Maria didn’t know better. The one who went after you was Ryan’s father, Grady. From what I know, Maria never gave you to him. She would never hurt you.” 

Jim was still not convinced. 

Josh thought this was a pickle. 

But then, a servant came running in. “Mr. Jim, the master has returned.” 

Upon receiving the instruction, Jim, maintaining his composure, briefly glanced at Josh before commanding his men, “Bring her here.” 

Shortly thereafter, the fragile Maria was escorted in, her eyes ablaze with fury upon beholding Jim. 

“Maria,” Josh called out, seeking to garner her attention. 

However, Maria showed no signs of joy upon seeing family or being rescued; she didn’t even acknowledge 

him. 

“Thank you, Mr. Carter, Josh pressed on, addressing Jim. “Let us depart, Maria.”

icy gaze and authoritative demeanour, halting their exit. “A moment.” 

Jim got up from his seat. 

Isabelle and Melissa also made their grand entrance. 

Spotting Isabelle, Josh greeted her with a smile, “Hey, Ms. Jenkins, good to see you again.”

But Isabelle wasted no time, diving straight into the heart of the matter, “So, did you have a hand in Ryan’s demise?” 

With those words, the attention of Mr. Carter, Jim, and Maria all pivoted towards Josh, leaving him in a rather tight spot. 

Looking genuinely puzzled and harmless, Josh replied, “I’m not sure what you’re getting at. Ryan was my 

cousin.” 

Taking in the unfolding tension, Isabelle remarked coolly, “Why the hesitation? If Maria were to vanish, the Warners would never know.” 

Melissa’s heart quickened as she watched Isabelle closely. Is she subtly abetting murder? 

Dwelling in the lair of a gang leader, Melissa had initially sensed a kinship with Isabelle, as if they shared a common world. Yet now, she felt utterly displaced in this setting. 

“Hey, Ms. Jenkins, Josh began, “we’ve had our clashes, but remember Cluebia? I had your back there. Seems a bit harsh to throw me under the bus, doesn’t it?” 

Interjecting, Lionel asserted, “No need for lengthy discussions. Since you’re here, let’s make your stay permanent.
