"However, Mr. Trevor, you don't have to worry too much. According to my analysis, although Claude is in their hands, his life should not be in danger in the meantime. They won't harm his life for the time being. After all, they haven't achieved their goal yet." Lomen explained from the side in a hurry, when he saw Trevor's tense and red face, and observed how anxious he was. Since Trevor had gone for brain surgery, Lomen was scared that something would happen to him.
Trevor exhaled a deep and murky breath and sat down on his chair, trying his best to suppress the anger and anxiety in his heart.
"Lomen, at the moment, saving Claude is our utmost priority. After all, he is my biological younger brother. Right now, Old Madam's condition is very serious, and I don't think that she will recover. Hence, I have the responsibility to bring Claude home, so that she will be able to see him for the last time.
"Yes," Lomen replied while nodding.
"How is Claude's current situation?" Although Trevor was not worried about Claude's safety, he was worried if he was actually alright in the hands of terrorists.
Lomen understood what Trevor was thinking. Thus, he immediately took out a disc and said, "Mr. Trevor, please take a look at this. I got it from the rival sect to the terrorist organization."
Trevor's eyes darkened, and he immediately picked it up. He turned on the computer and began to play the video on the disc.
After a while, an unclear footage appeared. Inside the video was an empty mud house. A man with a bald head was squatting in the corner, with a haggard look on his face. He was in a very sorry state.
It was his blood brother.
At a glance, Trevor could tell that it was his younger brother, Claude.
Even though the relationship between the two brothers wasn't that deep, and they had once turned against each other for the inheritance rights of Richards Manor, Claude's current predicament still worried Trevor.
In the scene, Claude looked dazed, and his face was haggard and desperate.
A feeling of despair and grief quickly spread over Trevor's heart. He then clenched his fists and gritted his teeth tightly, in order to suppress the emotions that were about to explode in his body.
There were subtitles in a foreign language on the
screen.
"What is being said is that they had caught an extremely valuable individual. If we want him to live, we have to exchange him for other things. They have not stated their terms yet, however," Lomen explained with great effort.
The video soon ended, and Trevor closed his eyes in pain.
In the house with the ancestors' tomb in the Ink Garden of Richards Manor.
Trevor knelt on the mat with heavy feelings.
"Old Master, you've said that we merchants have to separate ourselves from politics, and that we shouldn't go on the wrong path and not involve ourselves with political individuals. However, it seems that this time, for Claude's sake, I have to meddle with them. After all, Claude is your son, and my brother. So, I won't abandon him." Trevor said with a tone full of sorrow, "Old Master, if you're aware of this in heaven, then please bless the Richards Group, so that we will be able to avoid this disaster, you should know these things don't happen for a reason, and I'm afraid that our enemy has been plotting for a long time. Moreover, the Richards Group has been flourishing for a very long time. So many people are jealous of us. I know that we can't avoid this path of decline, but, as long as I'm still alive, I won't let
such a tragedy happen."
Speaking up to that point, Trevor heavily pleaded with the ancestor's memorial tablet.
He then stood up and closed his eyes silently.
In a private dining room in Sky Blue Restaurant.
Liya was wearing a dreamy skirt. Her dyed hair made her look young and fashionable, and the deep cleavage on her chest was somewhat visible, which was very seductive.
"Hansen, do you not believe me?" Her beautiful eyes were sparkling, and she looked at Hansen in a delicate and weak manner.
The corners of Hansen's lips curved upwards as he raised his sword-like eyebrows. He then turned his head to look at her and gave an evil smile. "What? Did you invite me here today just to say these words?"
There was a faint blush on Liya's face, but it also made her seem a bit wronged.
"Hansen, I know that you went to Zoella's office to look for evidence that she framed Jenna. Didn't we agree that I would be the one to help you look for it? It looks like you don't believe me, huh?" Liya's eyes turned red when she spoke of that. How could she not understand such an obvious thing? If Hansen really found the evidence that Zoella had framed Jenna, then she would immediately be chased out of Richards Manor. Of course, he wouldn't marry her at that point either. If that happened, she would lose everything.
