Meeting The One For Me

Chapter 252

Jim struggled to speak, and his breath was thin.

“I didn’t harm Mr. Kingston. What do you want me to say? I beg you to release my wife and daughter! Matthew… I beg you!”

Ryan’s expression darkened upon hearing this, and he pressed Jim’s head underwater again. Daniel saw water splashing onto Ryan’s arm as Jim struggled.

He walked up to Ryan with a cigarette in his mouth and handed one to Ryan. “I still prefer using golf clubs. Every swing draws blood,” he said casually.

“I don’t like the sight of blood,” Ryan said.

He took the cigarette with his bandaged hand and held it between his fingers without lighting it.

It wasn’t until Jim stopped struggling that he pulled him out and tossed him to the ground All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

with one hand.

Jim coughed up water, gasping heavily and curling up on the floor.

He tried to kneel, but his body had lost all strength, and he collapsed again on the slippery

floor.

“I know… I know I won’t be spared! Matthew!” Jim crawled toward Ryan. He then grabbed onto the cuff of Ryan’s pants and looked up at him. “Matthew, I really didn’t harm Mr. Kingston. I beg you to release my wife and daughter!

“You’ve eaten lasagna made by my wife before, and you held Mandy when she was a child. You used to treat her like a sister!”

Jim still had some wit left.

Now that he learned Matthew had assumed Ryan’s identity, there was no way Matthew would let him continue living.

Ryan Lambert would face relentless retaliation if it were exposed that he was the son of Robert Kingston, the man who had cooperated with the police to dismantle international criminal organizations in the past.

The criminal organizations were so vengeful that even the police officers who sacrificed themselves couldn’t have their photos released until three generations had passed.

As the CEO of the Lambert Corporation, Ryan was a prime target for revenge.

Jim remembered Matthew as the most gentle and softhearted person he knew.

He now had to find a way to convince Ryan to spare his family.

He had to swear that he hadn’t harmed Mr. Kingston, or his wife and daughter would truly have no way out.

“Bring his wife and daughter here,” Ryan said.

Jim tensed up instantly, showing immense fear. “Matthew! Matthew, I beg of you. They don’t know anything!”

With one hand in his pocket, Ryan brought the cigarette to his lips and lit it with a metal lighter. “I gave you the chance.”

Daniel leaned against the staircase, appearing bored. “It doesn’t matter if Jim doesn’t speak. As long as we go after the beneficiaries behind the deaths of your entire family, what’s there to worry about?”

Seeing Daniel’s men heading up the stairs, Jim finally became frantic and cried out, “I’ll talk! I’ll talk! Please don’t harm them! It’s the illegitimate son, Henry! Henry kidnapped Mandy and threatened me!

“Matthew, I had no choice. I didn’t want to harm Mr. and Mrs. Kingston! They’ve been nothing but kind to me! I didn’t want to harm them but Henry kidnapped Mandy! And I also know that Tyler Young is behind Henry. They’re working together!”

Henry was the illegitimate son of Ryan’s grandfather.

Daniel clicked his tongue. “Should have said that earlier.”

“Matthew, please let Mandy and her mother go! It’s my fault, you can kill me!” Jim pleaded, looking up at Ryan. “Kill me to avenge your parents. Mandy and her mother don’t know anything!”

Ryan stared at Jim, his eyes cold. “Do you know what the biggest difference between me, Tyler, and Henry is?”
