Chapter 164 She’s My Wife
Just as the two of them were preparing to search for Sarah, James hurriedly arrived. "Mr. Valencia, I found out about how Tim was released this time. He was granted bail ahead of schedule!"
As soon as Antonio heard that, his expression instantly turned fierce. "Who was it?"
James remained silent for a moment before answering, "It was... Lisa."
When Antonio heard that name, his body froze, and Alex beside him furrowed his brow tightly.
How could it be her? This time, the matter involved Ryan. How could she...
"I also found evidence of the payments Lisa made to Tim in his bank account. There was a transaction between them."
The word "transaction" made everything clear.
But Antonio truly didn't expect the person collaborating with Tim to be Lisa. What was even more damning was that she disregarded the danger to her own son and placed Ryan in harm's way just to hurt those children?!
"It seems that Lisa is the mastermind behind this whole thing..." Alex finally realized it, too. Despite Ryan's involvement in this incident, Alex hadn't truly expected a woman to be so ruthless as to use her own child for her schemes!
"Sarah might have ventured alone to a dangerous place if she's heard from them. Antonio, if you're still intent on seeking Sarah's forgiveness, ensure the safe return of the children and Sarah," Alex said, his hand clenched into a fist by his side.
Antonio's gaze turned cold. "You don't need to remind me. She's my wife, and they're my children."
…
Sarah arrived swiftly at the designated location, stepping out of the car and standing still.
A signpost pointed her towards a desolate ruin. Amidst the ruins, her heart brimmed with unease, uncertain of what lay ahead.
Suddenly, a man appeared in her line of sight.
It was Tim!
"Tim, I'm here. I have no objections to whatever you want me to do, but I need to see my children first," Sarah preemptively spoke, her expression calm.
Sarah took the initiative without waiting for a response, her demeanor unusually composed. In any case, she only wanted her children to be safe.
"Okay," Tim readily agreed, considering that Sarah had kept this matter from others and had ventured alone to this dangerous place... This woman indeed had courage.
Under Tim's guidance, the children were brought out, but from a certain distance. Sarah could only watch them from afar and not get closer.
"Harper, Ethan!"
The two restrained children had cloth stuffed in their mouths, their hands and feet tightly bound, rendering them immobile.
Upon seeing Sarah, Harper began struggling incessantly, but it was in vain.
Sarah also noticed slight injuries on the children, which immediately filled her with anger and distress!
"Tim, they're just kids! How could you lay a hand on them?!" Sarah exclaimed, her anger evident.
"Sarah, if you want the children to be safe, you must do as I say," Tim said coldly. He had already reached an agreement with Lisa that Sarah would pay the price once she arrived here.
At present, Lisa was hiding in the shadows and watching this scene play out, feeling triumphant inside!
Today, it will be the end for Sarah and the two bastards! Once they disappear completely, I will become Antonio's wife!
"Tim, release my children. I can stay here as your hostage!" Sarah gritted her teeth, willing to sacrifice everything as long as her children were safe.
"That's not something you can order me to do!" Tim sneered, No fool would trade hostages like that.
But as Sarah listened to Tim's words, it became clear that things weren't simple.
Since she dared to come alone, she had come prepared. She had already turned on her location sharing so Alex would soon know her whereabouts.
At that moment, she could only stall for time, waiting for help to arrive!
"Tim, you just came out of prison. Do you really want to go back?" Sarah taunted.
"Sarah, this has nothing to do with you. I call the shots here!" Tim said sternly, motioning to the person beside him.
Seeing this gesture, his men approached Sarah. One of them restrained her while another person tied something onto her that they had prepared in advance.
Sarah couldn't struggle because another thug's knife was already pressed against Harper's neck!
When she saw that she had been tied with a bomb, her eyes widened in fear!
"Tim, do you really not want to live? You should know that Antono and—"
"What is Antonio's relationship with you? Did you think you can leave safely by mentioning him?"
