In the living room at Ramos Villa, Bertha and Jessica hugged each other tremblingly, looking at the bodyguards left by Valentin with fear.
They were guarded by these bodyguards. They could not move around, make phone calls, or even leave the living room.
Jessica was anxious and jealous, and her mind was filled with images of Ashley and Valentin leaving Ramos Villa together.
She thought, 'Bitch Ashley... What is the relationship between her and Valentin? How could Valentin treat her so well?'
Suddenly, Frankie and Ryan came angrily from outside, followed by Jeremy, Matthew, and Charlie.
Bertha stood up after seeing Frankie, who disappeared for many days. "Frankie? You're back! Where have you been during this time?"
Bertha wanted to run to see her eldest son, but the bodyguard beside her glared at her. Bertha was suddenly too frightened to move.
Before Frankie could speak, Ryan rushed to Jessica with a fierce expression, grabbed her collar, and lifted her. "Tell me, did you drive a wedge between us? Did you come up with the idea to kidnap Miranda?"
Ryan had sharp features and looked even more fierce when he got angry. Jessica had difficulty breathing as Ryan grabbed her collar and was too frightened to speak clearly. "No... Ryan, I didn't..."
"You didn't? Who else could it be? Jessica, don't think I will be deceived by you again. You are a vicious woman! It must be your idea to kidnap Miranda!"
Ryan was furious. He couldn't suppress his anger and slapped Jessica when he thought Miranda might have suffered something.
Ryan didn't hold back his strength in this slap. He was also a strong racing driver. So, with a thump, Jessica was directly slapped onto the ground. Her mouth was bleeding, her ears were buzzing, and she couldn't hear any sound.
"Jessica!" Bertha cried and rushed over, hugged Jessica, looked at Ryan, and blamed, "How could you do this to Jessica?"
"Mom, stop protecting this ingrate! If Frankie hadn't told me, I still wouldn't have known that Miranda was missing! How...how could you do such things?"
Bertha was stunned. 'No wonder Ashley knew about Miranda's thing so early and came to Ramos Villa to make trouble. It was Frankie who told her.
'But how did Frankie know?
'There is only one possibility. Frankie had not disappeared. He was secretly keeping an eye on the Ramos family!' she thought.
"Frankie, you..." Bertha looked distressed and thought, 'Frankie is my son, but he wasn't on my side and reported the news to Ashley first. Did it make sense?'
Jeremy looked at Bertha sitting on the ground and protecting Jessica, and he persuaded her helplessly. "Mom, don't be stubborn!"
"Mom, wake up!" Matthew glared at Jessica, wishing he could kick her to death.
Charlie wanted to reach out and pull the embarrassed Bertha up, but he didn't stretch out after seeing her still defending Jessica.
Bertha was in a daze, and her hair was messy. But she still stubbornly protected Jessica and complained inwardly, 'They are all my biological sons.
'How are they so alienated from me?
'Could it be that I was wrong?'
Bertha saw Ryan still wanted to hit Jessica, so she immediately held Jessica in her arms. "Ashley has already taken your father to find Miranda! Why are you still blaming Jessica? Do you want to hit Jessica to death?"
Ryan's eyes were red, and he said with hatred, "The gangsters you arranged are wanted fugitives. They can do anything illegal... Listen, if Ashley and Miranda suffer an accident, I will stab Jessica to death even if I may go to jail and cost my life!"
After Ryan finished his words, he reached out, picked up the fruit knife on the table beside him, and aimed at Jessica.
Jessica's ears were buzzing from Ryan's slap just now. As soon as she recovered a little, she heard Ryan's words and was so frightened that she screamed and hid in Bertha's arms. "Mom, save me!"
Bertha knew Ryan very well. He had a tough character since he was a child and put words into deeds. Now, he said he wanted to stab Jessica. He might really do it.
