Ronan’s confidence diminisheit.
He glared fiercely at Ophelia, using a cane to lift her chin.
“Great! You’ve got guts. Let me see just how brave you are!” Ross threatened, picked up his phone, and made a video call.
The call connected.
With a fierce look, Ronan smiled as he switched the camera and said, “Look, isn’t that your woman? Getting her to talk is pretty easy!”
Ronan signaled a bodyguard with his eyes.
Then the bodyguard grabbed Ophelia’s hair, messing it up and lifting her before letting go, kicking her in the waist to knock her onto the floor.
Ophelia’s head hit the wooden coffee table hard.
Ophelia’s face turned pale from the pain, and she clenched her teeth, not making a sound.
Sticky blood slowly trickled down her brow,
Ophelia kept her head down, trying to avoid Ronan’s camera.
She said in her heart, “Kenneth, don’t do anything reckless. Stay calm!
Kenneth was in the study.
His face was stern and threatening, his knuckles turning white from the tight grip on his phone, with a subtle quiver in his
jaw.
“Ronan, do you really think I’d believe that? Trying to fool me with just anyone?” Kenneth’s voice sounded indifferent.
In the video, the bodyguard once again grabbed Ophelia’s hair.
Her loose hair mixed with the blood from her forehead covered her face, obscuring her original appearance.
The bodyguard looked at Ophelia’s innocent face with a sinister gaze. The crimson blood on her forehead made her appen both pitiful and deserving of sympathy.
The bodyguard couldn’t help but gulp, wanting to reach out and tidy her hair.
Kenneth shouted, “Don’t touch her!”
He clenched his teeth, his voice icily cold. Even through the screen, Kenneth sounded menacing, and the bodyguard’s hand froze in place..
Ronan laughed heartily and asked, “Didn’t you not care about her? Then what do you mean?”
Ronan was absolutely certain now.
Furthermore, he had discovered what Kenneth cared about most
Ronan thought, ‘Kenneth truly takes after his father. What a hopeless romantic!
With a sinister smile, Ronan shifted the camera to another angle, preventing Kenneth from seeing Ophelia.

Ronan said, “Kenneth, advise you to behave yourself, just like when you were a kid. If Patrick wants kneel. Maybe then, I might consider sparing you because you’re my grandson!”

to kneel, then
Ophelia gazed at Ronan’s sinister expression, remembering Kenneth’s childhood. She felt distressed, and a drop of blood ran down her brow into her eyes, turning her vision red.
Ronan continued, “You better follow my demands. Otherwise, I’ve got a whole crew of big guys here…”
Ronan paused and hung up the video call.
Kenneth’s eyes blazed with rage,
Chloe frowned seriously.
The green progress bar on the computer was loading.
Finally, it reached 100%.
The signal jammer was breached, and Chloe quickly wiped the IP address of her location. Then she switched to Noah’s advanced access.
After a few quick operations, she exclaimed, “Got it!“.
Kenneth whipped his head to the computer screen, spotting a blinking red dot on the map located on an island 62 miles away from the West End dock.
Kenneth grabbed the car keys from the table and went downstairs, his bodyguards closely following as he quickly informed Caleb and the others.
At 2 a.m., dozens of black SUVs raced down the road at high speed.
By the West End dock, numerous speedboats were ready.
The sky was slowly turning light gray at dawn,
Across the dark blue sea, white speedboats were churning up waves as they headed toward the island
The sky got brighter and brighter.
Outside the Sinclair Manor, several bodyguards and mercenaries barged in frantically,
Someone said, “Oh no, when was the signal jammer breached?”
“What?” Ronan, who had been resting, exclaimed and stood up with his cane, nearly losing his balance.
He wondered, ‘How could that be? It was the most advanced signal jammer currently
Ronan’s heart raced with unease. He needed to move quickly.
“Mr. Sinclair, bad news. Yachts are coming in from all directions someone reported.
Ronan’s face was ashen.
He thought, ‘Is it Kenneth? How could he have found this place so quickly?
Upstairs. Ophelia looked completely worn out, with dried blood on her forehead and messy hair draped over her should revealing part of her pale face.
She had been resting with her eyes closed, trying to regain her energy, when she suddenly heard the hurried footsteps of

several people rushing upstairs.
100%
The door swung open, and Opliclia was abruptly pulled up from the floor, not even given a moment to catch her breath before being dragged downstairs.
Ophelia endured the pain in her waist, as sensation gradually returned to her legs, though they were stiff from having been tied up for so long.
Their footsteps were hurried and frantic, as if they were fleeing for their lives.
Hope surged in Ophelia’s heart. She thought, It must be Kenneth
Ophelia and Phoebe were dragged out through the back door of the Sinclair Manor, and Ophelia could finally they were.
This was an island.
v see where
The area was densely wooded and deserted, making the mansion stand
out noticeably.
Ophelia and Phoebe were thrown onto a yacht.
From the fall, Ophelia felt like all her bones were going to fall apart, and her head was spinning.
Just as some people were about to escort Ronan onto the yacht, they suddenly heard gunshots from behind. Several bodyguards in black collapsed instantly, while foreign–looking mercenaries in camouflage raised their rifles. At the same time, a few bullets suddenly whizzed out of nowhere.
In an instant, the bullets pierced through the foreheads of the mercenaries.
Immediately, people from both sides began a fierce battle.
At that moment, a person in a black coat strode past the Sinclair Manor.
His black pointed leather shoes made a rhythmic “tap–tap on the marble floor, sounding even louder than the gunfire. Even amidst the chaos of flying bullets, the man walked steadily undeterred even when someone next to him was shot in the head and fell at his feet.
He made his way through the mansion and approached Ronan, who was just about to board the yacht.
A pistol was cocked, its dark muzzle pointed directly at Ronan.
At that moment, Ronan regretted provoking Kenneth.
Ronan pondered, ‘Since I’ve already realized how important the woman is to Kenneth, I should have known that he would find her as quickly as possible.”
Ronan shouted, “You’re just like your father! Why go to such lengths for a woman? Kenneth, put the gun down. I never meant to harm her. I just want to run Sinclair Group for two more years, and then it’ll still be yours.”
Im Kenneth, while out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that a gun was aimed at Kenneth’s back.
Ronan smiled to calm
A sinister gleam flashed in Ronan’s eyes.
However, the next second, almost as if he had eyes in the back of his head, Kenneth turned around, aimed, and delivered a headshot
