Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 669 A Broken Leg

“Mr. Halliwell, you merely ordered us to escort that woman to you back then. We didn’t hurt her in any way. But what should we do now? Our faces are plastered all over the internet, and the police are even offering a reward of two hundred thousand to arrest us. You’ve got to help us suppress this matter. Otherwise, we’re never letting you off the hook!” the leader of the kidnappers asserted in a harsh voice.

The Mr. Halliwell he was addressing was none other than the man previously castrated by Jolin under Amelia’s orders, Zyaire Halliwell. Incandescent with rage, he roared, “What a bunch of worthless idiots! I paid you to kidnap her, yet you allowed her to escape midway! After having caused a huge mess now, you’ve still got the nerve to ask me to handle things? It’s already merciful of me that I didn’t eliminate the lot of you! Get lost, you bunch of worthless idiots!”

The kidnappers were livid, but still, it was the leader who snarled, “Mr. Halliwell, you can’t just sit idly by. You were the one who forbade us from hurting her in the first place and instructed us not to restrict her freedom. That was why she made up the excuse of having a stomachache and escaped right under our noses. If you don’t guarantee our safety this time and we get arrested, we’ll definitely drag the Halliwell family into this mess.”

“You’re threatening me?”

“We’re no easy prey either, Mr. Halliwell. We know a lot of people in this line of work. You hired us, yet you won’t guarantee our safety. Since you’re such a useless and unreliable client, you should watch out, lest you’re stabbed to death on your way home from a night out.”

“Buzz off! You’re a bunch of worthless idiots, yet you still have the guts to make demands of me?”

Indeed, the kidnappers didn’t contact him anymore. However, when Zyaire, a playboy who did nothing besides eating, drinking, and carousing, was on his way home in a drunken state the next night, someone slipped a gunnysack over his head and dragged him into an alley, beating him up severely. The perpetrator even broke one of his legs.

In the end, a passerby spotted him and sent him to the hospital.

The Halliwell family almost passed out upon receiving news that he had been hospitalized. Needless to say, Crystal’s situation was no better.

With Zyaire being in bad shape, she was naturally the subject of anger since she was the culprit behind it all.

Dorothy slapped her in front of everyone and spat, “You really disappoint me, Crissy! Look what you did to your cousin! He’s barely alive now!”

Crystal’s parents stepped forward and defended her.

Her mother, Suzanne Zahn, argued, “Mom, you can’t just place all the blame on Crystal. You know Zyaire’s character full well. I think he probably had his leg broken because he was flirting with some girl. It’s clear as day that this is revenge from the mafia.”

“Nonsense! He’s your nephew! You’re spouting accusations when he’s still laid up on the hospital bed, huh?” Dorothy lambasted.

Suzanne wanted to speak further, but her husband tugged at her shirt and smoothed things over. “Mom, this isn’t the time to point fingers. Let’s see what Zyaire’s condition is first.”
