Sage added, "We can't keep giving them money, can we?"

Marco replied, "There's no rush. We'll deal with it later. If they dare to blackmail us, we'll send them straight to hell. The problem is, they have families. If we kill them to keep them quiet, we'd have to get rid of their families too-otherwise, someone might go to the police. It's safer to stage an accident; otherwise, we'll be the first suspects."

Shiloh's two brothers thought they could squeeze money out of Marco and live comfortably. They had no idea they were walking straight into disaster-for themselves and their families.

What the Janzen brothers didn't realize was that Shiloh's biological brother had just been coerced into making that statement.

They hadn't left yet. They couldn't. The police had them under control.

The cops had instructed them to say those words, ensuring they wouldn't tip off the criminals too soon. Meanwhile, Pedro-whom Marco claimed was away on a business trip and wouldn't return for half a month-came storming in, leading a group of officers.
