"This b*stard!" James cursed.
On the screen, there was a photo of Adele helplessly sitting on a single chair with a child in her arms.
Isaac suddenly stood up unsteadily. "I have to go there right now."
James grabbed Isaac. "Are you sure?"
Isaac gave him a helpless smile. "What else could I do? Should I act if I didn't see anything?" They were his beloved woman and his son! How could he sit by and do nothing?
"No." James shook his head. "I don't mean that you should leave them alone. However, what's the use of you going there so rashly?"
"Maxwell has caught them. Even if I have a thousand ways now, I won't be able to use them in this kind of situation."
How could he not know Maxwell? As he said, even if he had a lot of methods, so what? No matter what he could do, it took some time to save Adele. What he feared the most was that Maxwell would be provoked and then do something to Adele...
"Isaac, wait a minute. Let's... think about other ways."
Isaac closed his eyes with his face full of dejection.
He handed the phone to James. James glanced at him, took over the phone and had a look.
In fact, there was only one photo, but Maxwell had expressed what he wanted clearly. There were three text messages under the photo. "If you want them to survive, bring me what I want. You know what I'm talking about."
"You can only come alone. If you dare to play any tricks, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The third message was an address.
James gritted his teeth and cursed Maxwell several times in his heart, though he knew that it was useless.
"Adele..." James hesitated for a moment before saying, "Didn't you ask her to leave two days ago? Hasn't she left yet?" Otherwise, how could she be caught by Maxwell?
"I don't know." Isaac shook his head, "It's all my fault! I only focused on Bai Company in past few days. I... didn't send anyone to follow her because I didn't want her to know my intention. According to what she was like at that time, I thought that she would leave without hesitation. However..."
He grabbed his hair with great strength, and he almost had a nervous breakdown because of guilt and worry, "No wonder I have been so nervous today. I have obviously taken my mother out, but it turns out that..."
James sighed softly and reached out to pat Isaac on the shoulder, "Don't blame yourself. It's not your fault."
"How can I not blame myself?" Isaac was not calm at all, "I knew that Maxwell wouldn't let me go easily after I aimed at Bai Company, but I really didn't
