Chapter 1165


    His original n was very simple—kidnapping Sophia and using her to ckmail John. As Sophia was pregnant and couldn’t move around so


    easily, he had specially instructed not to make things too difficult for her.


    Previously, he had added the abortion pill in the juice that was served to her, but only in a small amount so that the effects of the pill wouldn’t


    take ce too quickly. Since nothing should happen to her at his ce, he would be free of any responsibility if she was in pain by the time he


    finished his negotiations with John. Despite that, he miscalcted that John was able to find someone who was willing to risk it all for him as


    Sophia’s substitute.


    This was something which he could never foresee, regardless of how mindful he was.

    ring unblinking at John, he finally nodded. “I was right about you. But John, why are you so stubborn?”


    John kept his silence and smirked without any care for the knife which was pressed against his neck. Just as fearless, L had already


    removed the fake belly underneath her clothes, convinced that this old man wouldn’t really have the guts to harm them.


    Thinking that she was infatuated with John, Elder Mr. Bailey sneered, “Youngdy, you’re willing to do anything for him, but what can this


    man give you? I feel so sorry for you.”


    The second he finished speaking, noises came from outside suddenly. At first, he wasn’t terrified of anything with his back facing the entrance


    and two bodyguards by his side, but the noise was followed by the sound of two shots echoing through the air.


    Before he could realize what was happening, he felt the bodyguards beside him falling to the ground and was immediately stunned. With


    quick reflexes, John and L stood up and raised their hands simultaneously at the men holding them down with knives. They locked their


    arms which were holding the knives and kicked them hard.


    As they were both rather skillful, their movements were savage and urate, leaving the two bodyguards with no time for reaction and fell to


    the ground with a hard thud. Earlier, John had clearly seen that the first two bodyguards were merely shot by a tranquilizer gun and wouldn’t


    be badly hurt.


    Elder Mr. Bailey froze at the situation. At his age, just L alone was enough to pin him down if things were to get physical with him. When


    the people outside had seen what was happening inside, they kicked the door down and a group of people bolted in. At the front of the pack


    was Logan, who dashed straight for L. Tucking away her hair, she was just about to tell him she was fine, but he grabbed her into his arms


    and kept apologizing without giving her a chance to say anything. It was true that he had let his guard down, which led him to fall for the


    Baileys’ trap. He had thought that he would be able to protect her if he hade along, but she was kidnapped right under his nose. Just the


    thought of this was enough to send him into seething anger. One of the policemen held Elder Mr. Bailey by pinning his arm; they couldn’t use


    so much force on such an elderly man and were merely holding him still so he wouldn’t break free. After a long while, L pushed Logan


    aside. “Alright, alright. I’m fine.” Releasing her, he stroked her hair, and his hands slid to her shoulders. After checking her all over to make


    sure that she was indeed fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.
