After the four of them heard this, their expressions changed.
The leader gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Lane, every job has its own rules. We can't reveal the information o f the party who hired us after taking the money.
Otherwise, we'll die."
"If you refuse, you'll die anyway." I lifted the corner of my lips a little. "Of course, you won't be the only ones dying but your wives and families too. I'll let you join my unborn child."
I truly thought that I had changed. I was able to say something so cruel without feeling anything in my heart.
"How dare you!" One of them growled.
"Let's see if I dare to do so or not!" I widened my eyes and looked at him fiercely. "You're all in my hands now. You can only watch as I do something bad to your family and experience the despair that I felt that night."
"You’re such an evil woman! I shouldn’t have spared your life that night!" The man started to scold me.
I laughed sardonically after I heard that. "I'm evil? Did you forget what kind of person you are? You laid your
hands on a pregnant woman and made my child suffocate in my womb. Meanwhile, I'm getting people t o kidnap your family members so I can torture them t o death in front of all of you. But that isn't even enough yet.
"An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth." I grabbed the man’s hair and continued to say, "Am I wrong for taking revenge?"
After I said that, I stood up and looked at Matthew.
Matthew raised his eyebrows and waved to signal the bodyguards behind him. "Go get them."
"No!” The leader of the four men immediately got anxious. He had a wife, and his son was only three years old. Everything could be compromised when it came to his family's safety. "Miss Lane, I’ve learned m y lesson. No matter what you'd like me to do, I'll do it for you. Please spare my family.”
The other three men were also scared. They started to beg for forgiveness as well.
I looked at them with an expressionless face. I had begged them to let me go that night. However, they were unmoved. Hence, I was not going to grow softhearted for them either.
