Chapter 11
“They’re all from the military. How can I make them disappear so easily?” Alex continued with a mocking tone, “Jaylah was taken away by them. In fact, the man even asked me to send a message to my brother to rescue Jaylah three days later… Our Kennedy family dare not to offend you, Miss Parry. Why don’t you let Jaylah go this time?” The way Alex spoke was somewhat unsettling, so much so one would feel as if he was making a threat instead. Indeed, Alex was confident in his brother, Brandon. Even if Joseph and Bethany’s father were to face Brandon, they would definitely be defeated rather easily. After letting out a snort, Alex ignored Bethany, got in the car and left. Bethany’s face instantly turned pale, and she stood there in a daze. Did Joseph leave already? And he even brought Jaylah with him? Also, according to Alex, it appeared that Joseph had helpers? Were they from the military as well? After all, all military men were experts! Did Paige’s husband finally return from the military? In that case, it made sense that they lost contact all this while. However, even though he had returned from the military, Joseph was still in deep trouble! Not only did Joseph cripple Jaylah, but he also kidnapped him. In addition, he even publicly provoked Brandon. Isn’t he courting death? In Apren City, no one knew better than Bethany how crazy Brandon was! Her father, Logan Parry, was also a successful entrepreneur many years ago! After all, the Parry family was rooted in Apren City. It was no exaggeration to call them local leaders back then. However, the power structure in this place was changed twenty years ago. Despite being alone in Apren City, Brandon managed to promote the Kennedy family as the wealthiest and most powerful family. Brandon was more scheming than others, not to mention that his means were cruel. It was only because he had become much calmer as he became older.
However, Jaylah was his only son, so Brandon had completely spoiled him! Joseph not only disabled his sole heir, but he also took Jaylah away. In fact, he even asked Brandom to pick his son up in three days. Wasn’t it a form of humiliation? One could imagine how horrible it would be once Brandon became infuriated. Even Bethany’s father, Logan, dared not be this arrogant and ruthless! Since Joseph intended to lock Jaylah up for three days, one could already imagine how he would be tortured in various ways inside the cage. As such, Bethany felt terrible, and her facial expression drastically changed. If Jaylah were to return home safely in three days, there would be room for negotiation in this matter. In addition, Logan was on his way back home, and he could help resolve the issue peacefully. However, once Joseph tortured Jaylah… Bethany dared not overthink. Then, she quickly returned home and drove out! Joseph brought Jaylah back to the foot of the mountain. There, he saw Toby and others standing guard, so he took a glance at them. Meanwhile, Toby dared not move and remained silent. Of course, Joseph did not care much about Toby at all. After all, Toby was only equivalent to a police inspector. However, Joseph was wary of the Frogua military’s actions. Back at the villa, Alpha 7 ordered his men to wake Jaylah up. At the sight of the surrounding environment, Jaylah’s expression changed drastically If Joseph were still here, it meant that Alex had not managed to save him! With great interest, Joseph looked at Jaylah’s pale face, whose mind was in turmoil. How is this possible? Even with Alex and hundreds of his men, they failed to save me? “You’re the one who made my daughter live in the pigsty, aren’t you?” Joseph asked coldly. It was as if he had no expression at all. Swallowing the lump in his throat, Jaylah shook his head frantically. “It’s not me… It’s my men who made such bad decisions on their own. I did not give out such orders… Please let me go… How much do you want? I’ll give it to you…” With eyes becoming colder, Joseph immediately ordered, “Let’s treat his injuries first. I can’t let him die like this!” Alpha 7 nodded and said, “If we don’t help this b*stard, he may not survive tonight…”
“Give him the best medical treatment. I want him to live.” Joseph added faintly, “He is not allowed to die…” “Understood.” Alpha 7 laughed coldly, then waved his hand. Two warriors immediately brought out high strength, industrial-grade alcohol. After all, alcohol had a sterilizing effect. However, pouring it on the body was more painful than ten thousand ants biting the heart due to Jaylah’s wounds. In fact, not everyone could bear such excruciating agony. Then, Alpha 7 took Jaylah and threw him into a pigsty, which was temporarily constructed. The pigs were smelly, full of mud and feces. “No… No… Don’t…” Jaylah screamed. His face turned pale and he felt nauseous. He did not want to get into the pigsty, but he had no way to resist at all. Alpha 7 gave him a kick, and Jaylah was covered in mud. When Alpha 7 came over with the industrial-grade alcohol, Jaylah was so scared that his heart was about to explode. “Joseph, stop!” A roar came from outside. It was Bethany who arrived in a hurry. “Don’t torture him. Stop now!” At the sight of Bethany, Jaylah was so delighted that he wanted to cry. “Bethany, save me. I promise you that I will not let my father get revenge… I will not retaliate against the Parry family in the future. I swear… Please save me…” Standing at the entrance, Joseph looked at Bethany coldly, “Do you want to plead for this trash?” Just as Bethany was about to speak, Joseph waved his hand coldly. Thus, Alpha 7 instantly poured the alcohol onto Jaylah’s body. “Ah…” When the alcohol touched the wound, Jaylah was in indescribable agony. How could Jaylah stand it? As such, he directly passed out. Nonetheless, the pain was still lingering, so he regained consciousness soon after. However, no matter how much he shouted, Joseph remained unmoved. “Joseph, you are crazy! His father is Brandon Kennedy, the richest man in Apren City! If you torture him like this, his father will not let the matter rest…” Bethany looked at Jaylah in despair and rage. However, Joseph remained unfazed. On the contrary, after a moment of silence, he said calmly, “Brandon… I wish he’d come…” “Otherwise, I’ll go to him instead!”
