Niamh’s heart skipped a beat uncontrollably as she instinctively stretched out her hand to hold him. “Kendrick, what do you plan to do?”
The man looked back, a smile appearing in his slender, alluring eyes. “Are you worried about me?”
“…” Niamh quickly let go. “I’m not worried about you. I just don’t want Jack to be hurt in any way.”
“Don’t worry, I will never let anything happen to our son.” Kendrick solemnly promised. He shook Niamh’s hand all of sudden. “Niamh, wait for me in the car. I’ll definitely bring Jack back safely.”
Niamh was in a daze for some reason until Kendrick gave her a light push. “Quickly head back to the car.”
His eyes were sincere and his tone was as usual, but Niamh did not appreciate it. “Kendrick, I don’t want to owe you anything. My son is mine and I will save him myself.”
Kendrick’s gaze turned lonely. “You don’t owe me anything, I owe you. No matter how you deny it, you can’t change that Jack is both our child.”
Saying this, he pulled Niamh over and all the way to the car on the side of the road.
Niamh could not struggle as she was afraid that Jon and Rose would discover this oddity if she struggled too much.
“Wait for me here. Don’t come over,” Kendrick said solemnly.
Niamh was about to curse Kendrick when her phone vibrated.
Rose was calling her. Niamh had expected Rose to call because her suitcase was set with a password. Without the password, they could not open it.
Sure enough, upon answering the call, Rose had indeed come to ask for the password.
Kendrick originally wanted to take action immediately, but he heard Rose say on the phone, “Niamh, you actually dare to play tricks? Come on, what’s the password to the suitcase?”
Niamh dealt with her calmly. “If you don’t let me see my son, then I won’t let you see the cash.”
“You…” Rose was a little frustrated. “Okay! Since you want to see your son so much, come here! I’ll send you the location right away!”
Niamh smiled softly. “No need, I’m already here.”
“…”
Rose was dumbfounded for a moment when she heard this, and in the next second, she heard a bang! The wooden door in front of her was kicked open!
Jon, who had been working on the code, jumped with fright. When he saw Kendrick who had appeared in front of him, his expression changed greatly as he slumped onto the ground.
Rose was also abruptly shocked until the phone in her hands fell to the ground.
“You, you… How did you find out about this place?!” Rose’s eyes widened.
“Of course, it was I who told my mother.” Jackson’s tender voice sounded, clear and sweet.
Rose turned her head to look at Jackson who was nibbling on the apple with an expression of disbelief.
“Rose, Jon, I really didn’t think that you’d remain unrepentant. You’ve even wiped out your most basic humanity just for money,” Niamh scolded.
The corners of Rose and Jon’s mouths twitched. They dared not move.
Looking at Kendrick who was stepping forward, the breathtaking aura exuding from all over his body made them tremble and shudder.
Kendrick looked at the two pale-faced individuals in front of him, and there was a cold light in his deep eyes.
Unexpectedly, Jon and Rose were already so frightened till their current state even before he had made a move.
If he had known this sooner, he would not have wasted time.
His gaze flicked past Jon and Rose before landing on Jackson’s small face. His stern eyebrows were already dyed with love and gentleness. “Jack, come over here to Mom and Dad.”
“Okay.”
Jackson nodded. Holding the apple, he ran toward them with his little legs.
Niamh smiled, her heart at ease as she stretched out her arms toward Jack. “Jack, come into Mom’s arms.”
“Mommy,” Jackson cried out to Niamh in a puerile voice and ran toward her.
The plan fell apart as Jack returned to Niamh’s embrace peacefully. Rose expected that Kendrick would definitely not let her go, and instantly, there was a fierce look on her face.
Rose grabbed the fruit knife on the table and stabbed toward Niamh fiercely, yelling, “Niamh, you b*tch! Go to hell!”
She cursed viciously while waving the fruit knife.
However, before she could get close to Niamh, she was kicked away by Kendrick.
Rose fell to the ground with a thud while the fruit knife fell to the side. She turned over and wanted to grab it, but Kendrick stepped on her pudgy hand. Rose immediately screamed in pain.
Kendrick’s deep, icy eyes were condescending. He looked just like a king who treated everyone under him as a captive.
“Niamh has already given you a chance, but you still insist on looking for death. If so, then go to prison and enjoy your final familial happiness with your baby girl.”
His cold voice was like a basin of cold water that was poured over Rose and Jon from head to toe.
Rose and Jon seemed to have felt a sense of doomsday as if Kendrick had ordered them to be killed without mercy. They instantly felt a chill running down their spines.
Just then came the sound of a police car from a distance.
Kendrick had called the police long before he set off to follow Niamh.
Jon and Rose heard the sound of the police car as simply the sound of the sirens signaling their end.
Rose’s teeth tickled with hatred from the warm and harmonious scene of the family of three as she looked at Niamh who was holding Jackson and leaving with Kendrick’s protection.
She got up abruptly, rushed to the door, and slammed the broken door heavily. She blocked the front of the door with her wide figure.
Kendrick instinctively stretched out his arms to protect Niamh who was holding Jackson behind her. “Get out of the way,” he uttered icily.
“As if any of you are allowed to leave! We’re in this life and death struggle together. I will bring you down myself!”
Rose gritted her teeth fiercely.
“Husband, we’ll fight them today! Our daughter is dying anyway and we have to go to jail, so we might as well just drag them to our deaths together!”
Jon had always been spineless and listened to Rose for everything, but he never thought of being buried together with Rose.
“Even now, you still persist to be set on the wrong path?” Niamh felt Rose was hopeless. “Nevaeh has already fallen to her end, and you both as her parents will be her accomplices.”
“You shut up!” Rose’s eyes were red with jealousy till her face shook with anger. “It’s all your fault, you b*tch! If it weren’t for you, Nevaeh would have become the young lady of the Waldburg family. I would have long become the mother-in-law of a wealthy young master who didn’t have to worry about anything for the rest of my life!
“But I didn’t expect you miserable wretch to be so tough. You just won’t die! And you!”
Rose yelled at Kendrick too, a wave of burning anger in her eyes.
“You heartless man! Nevaeh has been with you for so many years yet you gave her no benefit. When the btch Niamh left three years ago, you were worried about her every day and ignored Nevaeh. You even told Nevaeh that you had in fact always liked this btch!”
Hearing this, Niamh’s eyes flashed sharply. She looked at Kendrick, whose expression was getting colder and colder, when she heard Rose roar again.
“Nevaeh has fallen till this point today is all thanks to you! You want to stay together? I won’t let you get what you want. I’ll bury you for my daughter!”
With this, she suddenly went berserk and rushed in the direction where the two barrels of gasoline were placed.
Kendrick saw through Rose’s intention. He quickly grabbed Niamh’s shoulders and walked them toward the door. “Hurry up.”
Niamh had only wanted to take Jackson to a safe place as soon as possible and was prepared to leave according to Kendrick’s intention.
However, the wooden door that had been closed could not be opened. Something was stuck in the lock and the door could not open no matter what they did.
