Uffe immediately responded, “Yes, yes. General, you're right. Mr. Santiago and Ms. Davier were behind the arson incident at the orphanage. Mr. Santiago was also the one who shot the helicopter.”
“He wanted to marry Ms. Davier and restore his family's previous glory, while Ms. Davier wanted to kill Mrs. Cross to make you suffer before killing you,” he explained.
Nathan knew Santiago and Phoebe were the culprits, but when he heard Santiago's men admitting to the crime, his anger heightened nonetheless.
In fact, because of their actions, his second child might die anytime.
His eyes flashed with a dangerous glint.
Staring at Santiago, who was kneeling on the ground, he questioned without a hint of warmth. “Santiago, do you have anything else to say?”
Santiago knew the truth was out.
Glowering at Nathan, he exclaimed, “My father was elected twice to be a Great Cabinet member. He's about to get released from jail. By then, he'll be a powerful man once again. You'd better think twice before killing me.”
“If you kill me, my family and my dad will make you pay. Release me, and we'll stay away from each other in the future.”
After listening to his words, Nathan retorted icily, “Do you know how Boris Tucker's son died?”
Santiago fell silent.
The viciousness on his face was gone, replaced by a look of pure horror.
He knew Boris' son Spencer was killed by Nathan's subordinate, Ava.
Nathan had no qualms about killing the son of g current Great Cabinet member, let alone him, the son of a previous Great Cabinet member who was now serving a jail term.
He started shivering uncontrollably.
