A Moment in Destiny

The sculpturesque features of this man in his 30’s carried a sophisticated coolness and sharpness. Beneath his thick brows, his eyes were deep-set like the abyss. The corner of his slightly pursed lips curled down. This temperament made Payne frightened.

“Let go of her!” William glanced at Liam while saying that. Liam understood him the moment their eyes met.

He immediately said to Payne, “Let go of Sherry, Mr. Jones. Why did you involve her in this mess when you already know Ashley’s whereabouts? This will only make things more complicated!”

Out of his ego, Payne continued to hold the gun at Sherry’s head even though his hand had started to tremble. He was contemplating.

Liam added, “What you’re doing now will not only make the situation worse, but even the Rowland Group…”

He didn’t finish the sentence, but the implication was clear enough. The Jones’ Corp would have it rough in the business world if they offended the Rowland Group.

However, Sierra shook her head at Payne, “No, don’t let go! Sherry is our amulet when we still have no idea what Cohen is going to do!”

Upon hearing this, Sherry’s face went pale. Complex emotions were intertwining within the pain she was feeling…

William shot a sharp gaze at Sierra, which made her flinch. She stayed close behind Payne, “Payne, let’s go back now! We will exchange her for Ashley! We can’t let her go as long as we don’t get Ashley back!”

“Mrs. Jones, you think you can take Sherry away just like this?” The domineering aura coming from William’s manly yet delicate face made everyone fell silent.

He took a step forward.

“Don’t you come near me!” Payne got flustered and yelled.

“What are you afraid of? I don’t have any weapon with me.”

“I’ll shoot her if you come any nearer! I don’t mind to do this the hard way!”

“Hmph, you better know your place!” The hands hanging by William’s side had clenched into fists. He suppressed his anger, “Payne Jones, you really want to make me your enemy?”

He wasn’t trying to be courteous anymore and called Payne by his full name.

Payne stunned. The emotion of “I’ll do whatever I need to for my daughter! Out of my way or I’ll really fire the gun!” was shown on his face.

“It’s okay, William!” Sherry suddenly said. Her voice was filled with extreme grievance which she could barely suppress.

“Don’t worry, Sherry! It’s going to be okay!” William was glancing around the hall, trying to find a chance to break through the impasse.

Sierra was frantic. “Let’s go now, Payne, if he comes…”

“So what!” Payne kept his coll. “Move out the way, William. Or I’ll really shoot!”
