Chapter 265


    Bradley signaled with his eyes, and Kevin tied Ben up with a rope. Kevin even used adhesive tape to


    cover the boy’s mouth to make it more realistic.


    Ben cooperated throughout, showing no signs of frustration or unease.


    Kevin patted the boy’s shoulder and spoke gently. “Don’t be afraid.”


    They weren’t Shane. They couldn’t bring themselves to harm innocent people. Moreover, Kevin was a


    doctor and understood the value of life. He was only using the boy to intimidate Shane and had no


    intention of actually harming him.


    Kevin pushed Ben to the front of the ship, where a cruise ship appeared in the distance on the endless


    sea. Jessica, beside Shane, immediately spotted her son and couldn’t help but confront Shane, her


    heart twisting in agony. “Shane, no matter what happenster, you must protect our son. If you dare…”


    Shane looked toward his son in the distance with a squint, feeling a slight clench in his heart. He had


    been involved in numerous heinous acts, always treating other people’s lives as worthless. However, it


    was only when it came to his own son that he realized he had vulnerabilities too.


    Unlike his daughter, Liliane, Shane had been involved in Ben’s upbringing and growth, and he took


    pride in having such a son. If he had to choose between Liliane and Ben, he would undoubtedly choose


    thetter.


    The cruise ship drew closer, and Shane could see his son clearly. His hands and feet were bound, and


    his mouth was taped shut, making him look like a helpless victim waiting to be ughtered.

    Shane and his wife boarded a boat to go on the ship.


    “Stop!” rk shouted coldly.


    Shane, fearing the consequences, obediently stopped and stood silently to the side. He looked at


    Bradley, who was sitting in a chair, and said, “Mr. Warner, you can bring anything up to me. Please


    don’t trouble my son!”


    Jessica also pleaded, “Mr. Warner, this is an affair among adults. It has nothing to do with our child!”


    Kevin kicked the two severely weakened kidnappers, and thetter suddenly regained some spirit.


    They no longer sought survival and only hoped that Bradley would give them a quick and painless


    death.


    “Mrs. Hoyer, you may not be aware of what this man by your side has done,” one of the kidnappers


    said coldly, looking at both Shane and Jessica. “Shane instructed us to kidnap Mr. Warner’s wife and


    son!”


    Shane’s eyes shed with a fierce re through his sses, and he gritted his teeth. “I’ve never


    instructed you to do anything!”


    Shane couldn’t possibly admit to such heinous acts in front of his son. He didn’t want to shatter the


    image Ben had of him.


    The kidnapper sneered. “Mr. Hoyer, don’t be so quick to deny. We have evidence.”


    “Shane, did you do it or not? Admit it if you did…” Jessica was anxious and at a loss. Looking at her


    son, who was being mistreated, she wished she was the one being restrained instead. Don’t wager our


    son’s life!”


    Shane growled, “Shut up!”


    He couldn’t admit it. If he did, all three of them would die!


    ”


    “Mr. Hoyer, we have cloud backup recordings of each time you asked us to do something. The prison


    walls say that confess and receive leniency, resist and face strict punishment. I believe you’re familiar


    with it.”


    Shane could clearly hear the kidnapper’s threat, but he didn’t expect these two to have evidence.


    Everyone present was intelligent enough to see through the pretense.
