“Team Leader Aidan, I really couldn’t stop these parents. They didn’t mean any harm… It’s only because Kendall kept blocking the negotiation and rescue.”
“I’m truly worried about my daughter. Kendall, please, set aside your jealousy and allow Team Leader Aidan to go in and negotiate!”
“If you’re still uneasy, then I’ll stay out, let only Team Leader Aidan and the others go!”
Then, with a sharp bang, Cassidy suddenly fell to her knees.
“Kendall, I beg you, stop blocking our negotiation!”
“My daughter’s heart is weak; she can’t withstand this kind of shock!”
Cassidy wept pitifully, her forehead swollen red from a knock.
I ignored her, bent down, and picked up my phone. A message from my brother lit the screen.
[Kendall, I’ve arranged top-tier mercenaries and a private jet. Please wait for me!]
The panic in my chest eased slightly, and I turned off the phone.
Aidan, however, struck me hard across the face.
“Put restraints on her!”
“Tie Kendall up, we’re going in to negotiate now!”
The restraints clamped tightly around my hands and feet. I struggled with all my strength, panic surging once more in my chest.
In my previous life, I hadn’t known why Aidan failed the negotiation.
