When he was outside, he saw that Sophia’s car was still there.
“Over here, Logan.” Sophia rushed out of the car the moment she saw him.
Tapping his forehead gently to sober himself, he then got into the car. “I wasn’t able to hold myself up after being drugged. Do you know what’s happening outside?”
Sophia passed her cell phone to him and showed him the location tracking. “This is Miss Hunt’s location. I think John and his men are already there.”
After taking over her cell phone, he started the engine and drove toward the location shown. Along the way, he didn’t say a word and kept his foot firmly down on the gas pedal. In fact, Sophia was a little intimidated by the speed, but she was quiet about it because she was equally worried about Lola.
Meanwhile, John and Lola weren’t in a much better situation. Even though the four men hired by the Baileys were not the smartest, they were quite skillful. John exchanged blows with two of them, but Lola was overpowered, which left him with no other choice besides surrendering.
Thus, two of the four men, who had knives in their hands, were holding them down while the other two were protecting Elder Mr. Bailey by his sides. Gritting his teeth, Elder Mr. Bailey glared at John and hissed, “So you’re pulling this on me now?” With a mean look, John spat, “I wanted to leave a way out for you, actually, but you pushed yourself into a deadend.” A vicious and cruel look flashed across his face as he threatened, “Nothing can scare me anymore at this age. If I can still take both of you with me when I go down, then I will have made a killing.” John snorted. “Not only both of us, but you’ll even be bringing down the whole Baileys with you. You made more than a killing this time.” Elder Mr. Bailey’s face sank at his words. Although he could risk his all, he wasn’t planning on staking the Baileys into it when everything he did was for his family. From the very beginning, he was already prepared that he might not be able to get away with everything, and he wasn’t afraid about that. At his age, he had seen and been through all sorts of situations. Hence, this was just another event not worth his mention. In spite of that, he never thought to implicate his entire family in it. John had to stifle his urge to laugh at the sight of his speechless face. “If my estimations are correct, the police are already at Bailey Residence. I don’t think your sons and granddaughter can be saved anymore.” Tightening his jaw, he slowly shifted his gaze from John to Lola. It was beyond his imagination that a substitute would appear out of the blue. .
