Chapter 732 A Mother’s Provocation

Sending a mother her son’s corpse was not an exchange. It was a provocation.

Wyatt said, “Margaret must never know that Paul is already dead.”

Out of fear of public backlash, Paul’s death had not yet been announced, and now it was even more crucial to keep it hidden.

In Margaret’s eyes, Paul was still under Wyatt’s control. That was why she had taken Yunice hostage–she wanted to trade Yunice for her son’s life.

Her terms were clear: Wyatt was to transfer enough money for Paul to live lavishly for the rest of his life, and then send him to a safe place.

Only once Paul had escaped would Margaret release Yunice.

Wyatt clenched the crumpled piece of paper in his fist, his face grim as he said coldly, “She stabbed Yunice just to show me that she really would kill.”

After a moment, Freya hesitated. “What if we use Paul’s old trick–find someone who looks like him, have that person pose as Paul, and meet Margaret’s demands?”

another chance later. When someone is determined to harm you, how can you stop it?

The real problem is, none of us expected Margaret to suddenly reappear.”

Ever since marrying into the Powell family, Margaret had never been loved by Jackson or Jensen. After Paul was born, she remained marginalized. Jensen fooled around outside, and Margaret turned a blind eye. He strung her along for years, until she finally managed to divorce him not long ago.

Yunice thought Margaret would understand her, but she had overlooked the power of a mother’s love and blood ties.
