Chapter 873 Capturing the Kidnapper
Aaron lovingly held Juniper's hand, "Silly girl, of course, I support your decision. Besides, Anthony is a reliable person. I trust your judgment; he must be worth it."
Juniper's eyes reddened slightly, "Thank you, Dad, for understanding me. I used to be so willful, causing you a lot of trouble and often making you angry. I'm sorry."
"There's no such thing as a father and daughter not having disagreements. Everything is fine now. After all these events, I've become indifferent to everything. The only thing I care about, the only thing I value most, is your happiness. I'm sorry I wasn't a good man and didn't set a good example for you in marriage."
"But fortunately, you found Anthony. I also believe he genuinely cares for you, and you will be happy."
"We will be. After I meet his parents, he will formally discuss the wedding with you. Then we can start planning the wedding."
"Good, I'm looking forward to it," Aaron said happily. This was good news for him and the entire Cooper family. His greatest wish was for Juniper to be this happy.
At that moment, Aaron suddenly received a call from the police, saying the kidnapper had been caught.
"The kidnapper has been caught. I need to go to Saffron's hospital room."
"I'll go with you."
In the hospital room.
Elara had been restless these past few days, constantly making mistakes.
"I asked you to get me the data cable, not the headphones. What's wrong with you? You seem so distracted every day," Saffron asked Elara unhappily.
"No, nothing," Elara's eyes flickered.
"Don't say nothing. Are you worried about something?"
"No," Elara quickly denied.
"Then you're just getting old and your brain isn't working well. I'm already in a bad mood, and you keep making me angry," Saffron often took her anger out on Elara.
"What are you angry about now?"
"What else? It's about Juniper. She had a miscarriage, and Anthony still proposed to her immediately. Do you think he's crazy? Isn't he afraid the Eilish family will have no descendants?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. That bitch Juniper has always been popular with men, making them fall head over heels for her, all eager to marry her."
"All you can say is there's nothing we can do? Can't you think of a way? You really are getting old and useless, not just useless but also cowardly."
"Saffron..." Elara felt humiliated by her words.
But she had been having nightmares for the past few days, dreaming that Aaron caught her cheating with Hugo and beat her up in the dream.
There must be a reason for such nightmares. She had a terrible premonition that this nightmare would soon become a reality and she would be caught.
Thinking of this, Elara's face turned extremely pale again.
"You're nervous all the time. I don't even know what you're nervous about."
"Saffron..."
"Don't call my name. Hearing your voice annoys me. You can't even help me. Don't you feel useless?"
Elara felt utterly humiliated. Being despised by her own daughter was incredibly painful.
"I'm telling you, you may be cowardly, but I'm not. I won't let Juniper off easily. I will definitely get revenge on her. Next time, I'll make sure she can't get back up, tear her to pieces. You must help me, understand?"
"I understand..." Elara replied timidly.
She didn't want to agree because she feared Saffron would suffer and felt she was asking for trouble. But she didn't dare to persuade Saffron otherwise.
Police officer Alfonso knocked on the door.
"Mr. Carr! Have the kidnappers been caught?"
"Yes."
At the same time, Aaron and Juniper also walked in.
Saffron's eyes immediately filled with hatred when she saw Juniper, "What are you doing here? Get out! Get out!"
"Stop yelling. Mr. Carr, who kidnapped my daughter?" Aaron asked anxiously.
"There were three kidnappers. One was Oscar, and the other was Gabriel. They are both repeat offenders, hired to kidnap Saffron. It was all orchestrated by someone."
Saffron immediately asked angrily, "Who is that person? Who wanted to break my legs? Juniper, did you send them?"
"Can you let Mr. Carr continue?" Juniper said.
"That person is named Hugo Graves."
Elara dropped the cup in her hand, "What, what did you say his name was?"
"Hugo."
"Do you know him?"
"No, I don't!" Elara quickly denied it.
But she was shocked inside. How could it be Hugo?
He knew Saffron was his biological child, so why would he kidnap her and break her legs?
'Oh my God! This can't be!'
Elara's mind went blank, then started boiling like hot water. She felt dizzy and almost fainted.
Juniper quietly observed Elara's unusual reaction. She knew something was off. Elara definitely knew Hugo.
"Who is this Hugo, and why did he kidnap Saffron? How does he know Saffron?" Aaron asked urgently.
"He said he saw Saffron on TV before and knew she was a rich girl, so he kidnapped her."
"How did he know Saffron ran away from home?"
"He didn't know. He said he lost money gambling and happened to see Saffron staying at a hotel, so he decided to kidnap her."
"Kidnapping is one thing, but breaking Saffron's legs is too much!"
"That was because Saffron took off Oscar's mask, and Oscar got angry and broke her legs."
Aaron was stunned for a second, "Because she took off the mask? But Saffron, didn't you say they broke your legs because they knew you called the police?"
Saffron felt guilty, "It was because of the police."
But everyone knew Saffron was lying. She wanted to shift the blame to Juniper.
"Dad, my legs are already like this. Is it meaningful to pursue this now? You should avenge me. Mr. Carr, hand them over to me. I want to break their legs myself."
"No!" Elara shouted urgently. No matter what, she couldn't let Saffron break her biological father's legs.
"I mean, we can't use private punishment. Let the police handle it. They will get justice for you."
Juniper found it even more suspicious.
Elara was not a kind, law-abiding citizen. She had previously threatened to skin the kidnappers alive, but now she refused.
Clearly, she knew Hugo and wanted to protect him.
But how close could they be for Elara to protect the kidnapper who broke Saffron's legs? Could it be that man?
Juniper had already guessed most of it. The detective also told her that there would be news soon.
The truth would come out soon, and she believed it would be close to what she had found.
If Elara had been cheating all along, then Saffron might not be Aaron's biological daughter, which would explain why their genes were different and why Saffron was so vicious.
"I disagree. The police will only imprison him for a few years. After a few years, he'll be out. But my legs are broken for life. Imprisonment is too lenient; I can't accept it."
"Mr. Carr, you can imprison them, but before that, I must break their legs, make them disabled, and let them be bullied in prison. Only then will I feel avenged. You're my dad's good friend, right? This shouldn't be difficult for you."
Here we go again. Was his daughter always like this, or had this incident twisted her mind?
Alfonso said, "I am your dad's good friend, but I'm also a police officer. I can't use private punishment; it's illegal."
"No one will know, so what's the fear? Or is your position not high enough to do it? Then I'll find someone else."
"Enough, stop it!" Aaron couldn't stand her nonsense anymore, "Mr. Carr has worked hard to catch the kidnappers. You didn't even thank him and are making things difficult for him. It's outrageous. Apologize to Mr. Carr and thank him for catching the kidnappers."
