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.
