Bobby said fearlessly, “James, you son of a b*tch, you’re a sinner. You better kneel to me right now! Or else, Thea is going to die.”
James glared at Bobby. “Never. A man never easily gets on his knees. How could I kneel to a b*stard like you?
“Thea used to be my wife, but we’re already married. You’re a fool to use her to threaten me.”
“Slash her.”
Bobby ordered through the phone.
Cansington, a construction site.
Thea was tied to a chair.
The place was heavily guarded by men dressed in black.
One of them held a sharp dagger against Thea’s face.
When he received the order, he immediately slashed the dagger across her face.
A bloody wound instantly appeared on Thea’s left cheek as the knife swiped across her face. Blood began to drip down her cheek, staining her white dress red.
She felt severe pain in her face but could only whimper since her mouth was covered.
Thea struggled to free herself but was to no avail.
Bobby held the phone and shook it in front of James as he said with a smile, “Since I can’t threaten you with her, then I’ll just kill her. It’s a pity for such a beautiful woman to die.”
James glanced at him indifferently.
“What the hell do you want?”
“I want you to kneel,” Bobby laughed.
“You can kill her. However, I assure you that I’ll kill you too.”
James was unfaltering.
Even though he still cared about Thea, he knew that he absolutely could not compromise right now.
He knew that Bobby would seize his weakness and continue to threaten him if he compromised, putting himself in a passive position. Therefore, he had to pretend not to care.
In fact, he was panicking in his heart but could not show it on his face.
Bobby frowned.
From his investigations, James supposedly cared a lot about her. Yet, he was not threatened at all.
He thought about it briefly and said, “James, I won’t make it hard for you and Thea. You return the thing that belongs to the Cadens, and I’ll let her go. What do you say?”
