Chapter 974 Bad Guys

"You've seen them. Now, what about my end of the deal?" the captor urged, their worry about Catherine's potential backup increasing the tension.

But Catherine didn't budge or utter a word, her silence and powerful aura ensuring no one dared to lay a finger on Thomas and Sccot under her watchful eyes.

Time ticked away, and with Catherine still making no move, the captor, driven by impatience, activated the timers on Thomas and Scott's chests.

"You have five minutes, Catherine. Give me the list, and I'll let them go," the captor declared with a smug look, watching Catherine intently.

But Thomas and Scott, far from pleading, seemed prepared to face death rather than compromise Catherine's safety.

In a dramatic turn, Thomas feigned a seizure, spitting blood, causing immediate chaos among the guards who quickly removed his gag, desperate not to let him die before the list was secured.

Once free to speak, Scott pleaded with urgency, "Release my grandfather! He has a heart condition. Your bomb has terrified him. Without immediate medical attention, he'll die."

The guards, thrown into a dilemma, sought instructions from their leader.

The captor, scrutinizing Catherine, saw genuine concern behind her icy facade, though doubt lingered.

"But Thomas is a renowned doctor. How could he not know of his own condition?" the captor questioned.

Scott retorted with disdain, "Ever heard 'He that is fallen cannot help him that is down.'? Plus, do you think being a skilled doctor makes one immortal?"

Despite Scott's biting comeback, the captor remained unmoved, putting Catherine in a tight spot. "It's your call, Catherine. Ambulance or watch Thomas die. He's been nothing but kind to you. Can you really let the Parkers suffer over a list and outsiders?"

Catherine demanded, "Give me a laptop."
