Anthony was on Stanley's side, so he naturally ignored Isai's warning and took the two children out, walking as fast as he could. Seeing that, Isai's bodyguards went forward to stop them.
Stanley sneered and kicked the bodyguard, who was going to pull Seamus's arm.
Uncontrollably, the bodyguard fell backward to the ground in pain.
Anthony sped up and took the two children out, got in the car, and left.
Making sure that the car had left, Stanley had no more scruples. He glared at Isai and asked, "Where's she?"
Isai walked straight to him from the stairs. "What are you going to do?"
"Where's Sharon?" Stanley asked one last time.
Isai slowly narrowed his eyes and masked his sharp look. "I only took the children here. What's her missing has anything to do with me?"
Without asking any further, Stanley pushed Isai away and went up the stairs.
"Stop right there!"
Isai warned loudly.
But Stanley ignored him.
Isai was about to pull out his gun, but Jimmy, who had been standing by the side silently, suddenly warned, "Isai, don't try to break the law. Besides, I'm still standing here. Don't forget that I'm a cop."
Although he said that with a smile, there was a hint of warning to his tone.
Isai glanced at Jimmy for a while, then gave Oscar a look, who then led Stanley upstairs. Meanwhile, he said to Jimmy smilingly, "Jimmy, you have grown up. Now you even dare to threaten me."
Jimmy replied, "Nah, how can I threaten you? Even my chief has to listen to you."
"Then take your people out of here."
Jimmy's expression slowly grew solemn. "What if I don't want to?"
"Well, two days ago, I just had dinner with your chief. He mentioned that you're now the most promising candidate for the next promotion, provided you have no violation of discipline in the next few years. Don't you want this opportunity?"
Jimmy was young and had been promoted several times in a row, as he had solved countless cases. It had long been decided that he would be promoted as the deputy chief when the time came. But now, obviously, Isai was using this to threaten him.
Generally, at Jimmy's age, his peers wouldn't have his luck to get to this position so smoothly. If he continued to get promoted, he could achieve the top in a few years and became quite powerful.
All the hopes of the Hudson Family were now placed on him.
And Isai knew that, which was why he used this to threaten Jimmy. He then stared at Jimmy with a sharp look and continued, "I heard that you've kept a lover outside secretly. Although she hasn't been exposed yet, do you think that after today, you can still keep her hidden and get promoted?"
Immediately, Jimmy's expression changed, and he pressed his lips tightly together. Not many people knew about his relationship with Anna. It seemed that Isai had schemed everything.
