Chapter 265
Bradley signaled with his eyes, and Kevin tied Ben up with a rope. Kevin even used adhesive tape tocover the boy’s mouth to make it more realistic.
Ben cooperated throughout, showing no signs of frustration or unease.
Kevin patted the boy’s shoulder and spoke gently. “Don’t be afraid.”
They weren’t Shane. They couldn’t bring themselves to harm innocent people. Moreover, Kevin was adoctor and understood the value of life. He was only using the boy to intimidate Shane and had nointention of actually harming him.
Kevin pushed Ben to the front of the ship, where a cruise ship appeared in the distance on the endlesssea. Jessica, beside Shane, immediately spotted her son and couldn’t help but confront Shane, herheart twisting in agony. “Shane, no matter what happens later, you must protect our son. If you dare…”
Shane looked toward his son in the distance with a squint, feeling a slight clench in his heart. He hadbeen involved in numerous heinous acts, always treating other people’s lives as worthless. However, itwas only when it came to his own son that he realized he had vulnerabilities too.
Unlike his daughter, Liliane, Shane had been involved in Ben’s upbringing and growth, and he tookpride in having such a son. If he had to choose between Liliane and Ben, he would undoubtedly choosethe latter.
The cruise ship drew closer, and Shane could see his son clearly. His hands and feet were bound, andhis mouth was taped shut, making him look like a helpless victim waiting to be slaughtered.
Shane and his wife boarded a boat to go on the ship.
“Stop!” Clark shouted coldly.
Shane, fearing the consequences, obediently stopped and stood silently to the side. He looked atBradley, who was sitting in a chair, and said, “Mr. Warner, you can bring anything up to me. Pleasedon’t trouble my son!”
Jessica also pleaded, “Mr. Warner, this is an affair among adults. It has nothing to do with our child!”
Kevin kicked the two severely weakened kidnappers, and the latter suddenly regained some spirit.They no longer sought survival and only hoped that Bradley would give them a quick and painlessdeath.novelbin
“Mrs. Hoyer, you may not be aware of what this man by your side has done,” one of the kidnapperssaid coldly, looking at both Shane and Jessica. “Shane instructed us to kidnap Mr. Warner’s wife andson!”
Shane’s eyes flashed with a fierce glare through his glasses, and he gritted his teeth. “I’ve neverinstructed you to do anything!”
Shane couldn’t possibly admit to such heinous acts in front of his son. He didn’t want to shatter theimage Ben had of him.
The kidnapper sneered. “Mr. Hoyer, don’t be so quick to deny. We have evidence.”
“Shane, did you do it or not? Admit it if you did…” Jessica was anxious and at a loss. Looking at herson, who was being mistreated, she wished she was the one being restrained instead. Don’t wager ourson’s life!”
Shane growled, “Shut up!”
He couldn’t admit it. If he did, all three of them would die!

“Mr. Hoyer, we have cloud backup recordings of each time you asked us to do something. The prisonwalls say that confess and receive leniency, resist and face strict punishment. I believe you’re familiarwith it.”
Shane could clearly hear the kidnapper’s threat, but he didn’t expect these two to have evidence.Everyone present was intelligent enough to see through the pretense.
