Chapter 1

I had only just finished speaking when my wife, Jennifer Surton, let out a snort."If it weren't for Rick borrowing money to help me smooth things out for the project on the east side of the city, I definitely wouldn't have been able to secure it. Now that his debtors are here to collect, it's only natural and reasonable that I help him back."Stop calling me after this. Otherwise, if you delay me from raising the money, I certainly won't let you off!"With that threat, she hung up.My kidnapper instantly flushed with fury. Tossing my phone on the floor, he stalked closer to me while brandishing a knife. "What shitty luck! You're the husband and son of Ms. Surton, the CEO of Surton Corporation, yet we can't even ransom you for a measly one million dollars! In that case, there's no point in keeping either of you alive any longer. "You really can't blame me for this. If you want someone to blame, blame your wife for being unwilling to pay for your lives!"As the kidnapper raised

"Michael Cardin, you dare trick me?" Brad suddenly bellowed in fury while showing me my phone screen.To my shock, I saw that my bank account balance was zero! But I had clearly checked it just this morning, and there had truly been 500 thousand in there!Before I could explain, Jennifer called."Michael, I've already transferred all the money in your card to Rick, but it's still not enough. Stop shopping and quickly cough up the rest of your savings!"I inhaled sharply at her words."Jennifer Surton, do you have no conscience? Nathan and I have been kidnapped, yet you actually transferred that life-saving money to another man!"That instantly triggered Jennifer. "This act again? Do you realize how annoying you're being? If you truly had been kidnapped, would you have been able to answer my call?"Brad squeezed the phone tightly. "Ms. Surton, I have your husband and son. If you don't want them to end up as corpses, then you need to—""That's enough! For the sake of a bit of m

Petunia yelled, "Michael Cardin, you dare hurt my grandson because of money? It's below freezing outside! How could you just leave the baby on the floor? Are you trying to freeze him to death? "I order you to pick him up right now and bring him back here! You don't deserve to be his father!"Beads of sweat dotted my forehead as anxiety swamped me. Before I could say anything, Brad turned the camera around to show himself."Old man, I don't have the time or energy to joke around with you. I'm going to give you one last chance. Either bring the money over in half an hour, or you'll be visiting them in the morgue!"As the kidnappers were all wearing gruesome-looking masks to hide their identities, Petunia took one look, gasped, and fainted.Brian was so enraged that he roared, "Michael, have you gone nuts? You know that Petunia has a weak heart, yet you still have the audacity to scare her with such horrifying masks? I'm taking her to the hospital immediately! "In the meantime, I

Jennifer's name flashed on my phone screen.Brad leaned over to pick up my phone, then put the call on loudspeaker. "Appreciate this last chance I'm giving you."The narrow escape from death had me gulping a few deep breaths to steady my breathing, but in the next second, Jennifer's words shoved me off the edge and into the abyss once more."Michael, Rick is being threatened by his debtor, so I'm letting him stay with us for a few days. "Also, don't you have some money set aside for Nathan? Rick still needs one million dollars, so transfer all that money to me now! Hurry up!"I instinctively hugged Nathan tighter. "Jennifer, you seized that one million dollars long ago to set off fireworks for Hendrick on his birthday!"During the early stages of her pregnancy, Jennifer and I had set up a fund for Nathan so that he would have financial security.At the time, Jennifer had even hugged me and vowed that she would leave everything the Surtons had to the baby, that she would never t

Chapter 5

Jennifer jolted upright, as though she had awoken from a dream, and demanded loudly, "Michael, is this actually real or not!"However, the only response she received was the sound of Brad swearing and a series of terrifying gunshots."Michael!"The call was ended.Terror rose in Jennifer, and she hurriedly called my phone again. Yet, this time, nobody picked up."This won't do. I have to go see what's happening."Subsequently, she called her company's technical experts and had them locate my whereabouts.While she was waiting for a reply, Hendrick had already gone into the bedroom and changed into my sleeping robe. His face was pale as he asked, "Jen, is Mike still refusing to help me?"Jennifer's gaze was drawn to the swathe of muscled skin exposed by the loosely-tied robe, and her eyes remained glued to the sight as she answered distractedly, "There were gunshots coming from Michael's end, so it's possible that he's genuinely in danger. I'll head over in a bit to take a loo

Chapter 6

I swam in and out of consciousness, all while anxious shouts rang out around me."Sir, please let go! Your baby also needs to receive treatment!""This can't go on! He's holding on too tightly! The baby can't breathe!""His shoulder and thigh are injured. We need him to release the baby first before we can operate on him.""He's also bleeding from his abdomen! I think he might've been shot as well! We can't delay things any longer!""Are we still unable to get in contact with any of his family members? Where's the baby's mother?"The words echoed in my ears, but I couldn't tell if they were from a dream or reality.Vaguely, I thought I saw a baby, swaddled in a blanket that I had personally wrapped around him. His tiny hand reached out toward me, while tears clung to his lashes.[Daddy, I can't breathe! Daddy! Daddy, please wake up! The doctors need to treat your injuries! Daddy, I can't lose you!]I instantly snapped to wakefulness, my eyes flying open to see a lot of people

Chapter 7

My words caused Jennifer to start panicking a little. She shook her head vehemently."Michael, I honestly thought that you were just putting on an act. I didn't mean to purposely ignore your plight. "Besides, Rick only ended up with that 50 million dollar debt because of me. I couldn't just stand aside and do nothing to help him!"I sneered. "And so you chose to stand aside and do nothing to help me. You know, if I hadn't wracked my brain for an escape plan, it would've been our bodies lying there in the morgue. I wonder if you would've been able to say such things to us then!"Jennifer stiffened, but when she moved to take Nathan again, I decided to turn my body so that she couldn't even see him anymore.That instantly caused impatience to roar through her."Michael, aren't you done yet? I've already apologized to you! What else do you want? I already said that I didn't mean for things to turn out this way! Do you have to blow things out of proportion like this? "Can you real

Chapter 8

Jennifer fell into a thoughtful silence and exchanged a glance with her father. Then, both of them nodded arrogantly."So be it! I have nothing to be ashamed of anyway!"Filled with confidence, they decided to have the press conference three days later.Hendrick was dressed in a suit as he sat right in the center of the table. His eyes were red-rimmed and swollen, as though he had been crying.Beside him sat Jennifer, who calmly recounted the entire story.During her account, she portrayed me as an incredibly greedy man who spent her money lavishly, while Hendrick was her great partner who worked tirelessly to aid her, completely exhausting himself in the process.As she moved on to the kidnapping case, she mentioned the story of the boy who cried wolf."Let me ask you this, ladies and gentlemen. My benefactor was being threatened with death by his debtor when I received a call asking me for money. "What was I supposed to do? Especially since my husband had asked me for 500 th

Chapter 9

Brad pressed the muzzle of his gun against Hendrick's forehead, causing Hendrick to come close to a complete mental breakdown. Just as Brad's finger slowly squeezed the trigger, Hendrick burst into tears and cried out, "I truly don't have any money anymore! I've used all that money to pay off my gambling debts, but I still owe them one million dollars! "I swear it's true! If you don't believe me, you can ask the boss of the casino! He can vouch for me!"He had barely finished speaking when the door was kicked open, and a group of police swarmed inside with Jennifer in tow."Rick, what do you mean by that?" Jennifer asked.With Brad captured by the police, the threat to George and my lives was removed.Supposedly, Jennifer had been so utterly enraged that even the police failed to curb her anger that day. Since the livestream hadn't been turned off, everyone got to see her and Hendrick yelling up a storm."You've been lying to me all along! It was clearly just your gambling deb
