staring at Xavier in confusion.Reading the puzzled look in her eyes, Xavier explained softly, “I already called the police. They have snipers with them.”A hint of surprise flashed across Winnie’s eyes. She lowered her voice and asked, “When did you call the police?”Xavier answered in a voice only the two could hear, “I saved us a backup plan and let someone call the police when Stuart was brought over. That’s why you don’t have to make a move now, and you shouldn’t make any reckless move either.”Upon hearing that, Winnie instantly understood the situation. She silently placed the necklace away and tried to negotiate with Stuart to stall time by saying, “Stuart, let my granny go. We can talk things out!”“Let her go?” Stuart laughed out loud. “Do you think I’m stupid? How can I possibly make my escape without a hostage? Now, prepare a car and the cash for me, or you can prepare to hold a funeral for this old woman!”“Stuart, you b*stard!” Rufus was now overcome with regret. “How could you do this to your mom? I shouldn’t have believed you!”“Believed me?” Stuart glared at Rufus. “Should I bow and kneel to you just because you believed me? You are the main reason why I am who I am today! Since you chose to keep me with the Fairchild family back then, why couldn’t you be impartial? If I had everything Benjamin had, do you think I would have become like this?”“How dare you try to get everything your brother has? Don’t you know how much your character and capabilities lack behind him?” Rufus reprimanded angrily, “Also, stop talking like I never tried to do so! You’re the one being too greedy!”“Hah! Too greedy? Why do you make me sound like a huge sinner when I only wanted a larger portion of your many assets? Now, cut the cr*p and prepare the car and cash for me. I want to leave this place immediately! Why aren’t you moving? You’re really not going to give up until the very last second, huh?”Without even blinking, Stuart drew the blade lightly across Jacinta’s neck.The blade was very sharp, and Jacinta did not feel any pain at first, but she lowered her head and immediately saw blood seeping out.The glint in her eyes gradually dimmed as she saw her patient’s gown slowly dyed in her blood.She murmured, “You’re trying to kill me. You’re my son, but you want to kill me. You’re my son, but you want to kill me…”As if she was stimulated by the scene and had lost her mind, Jacinta started repeating that sentence.Stuart was highly irritated by everything, so when he heard Jacinta repeating that sentence, he could no longer hold back his anger. “Shut up, you old woman! Do you know why he doesn’t like me? It’s all because of you! If you had ever tried to be more presentable, this wouldn’t have happened to me! Your disgusting parents also contributed to this. If only Benjamin and I shared the same mother, I wouldn’t have ended up like this!” “That’s enough, Stuart!” Winnie could tell something was amiss with Jacinta’s condition. She quickly reprimanded him, “I will prepare the car and cash for you, but you must stop talking!”“Sure!” Stuart looked at Winnie. “I’ll give you what you want, and you’ll give me what I want.”“Deal. Just wait here!” Winnie told him before turning around to tell Xavier something.Xavier glanced at his phone screen and lowered his voice as he told Winnie, “The police have cleared the whole area, and the snipers are in place now.”Winnie nodded and looked at Stuart. “We are preparing the car and cash now. Can you move that blade away from her while waiting?”“Absolutely!” Stuart had no intention of taking his blade away despite saying that. Instead, he swept a quick glance around the ward and
