Immediately, one of the men led us inside and up a staircase without any railings. As I looked up, I saw a middle-aged man with a fierce expression, sitting with his legs crossed in a chair, and my grandma,


    bound and unconscious, lying nearby!


    "Grandma!" I quickly moved towards her.


    Her body couldn''t handle such treatment!


    However, before I could get closer, a gun was pressed against my temple as a warning.


    "Jake!"


    The middle-aged man, who initially seemed indifferent, slowly lowered his legs and smiled. "What are you doing? Ms. Wilson is just worried about her grandma. There''s no need to pull out a gun right away. We''re in Cheria, not abroad." "Yes, sir."


    The gun was withdrawn from my head.


    But as I looked at K, I felt a shiver run down my spine. Although he was smiling, his gaze was as venomous and frightening as a scorpion''s.


    He lit a cigar and said, "Ms. Wilson, are you afraid of me?"


    "You called me here, and I came."


    T


    I didn''t want to answer unnecessary questions and got straight to the point. "How can I get my grandma released?"


    "Well, that''s a good question."Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    K looked at me with interest, "How about... we make a trade?"


    Click-


    As soon as he finished speaking, I heard the distinct sound of a gun being cocked next to me. Jack had aimed a pistol directly at K, his expression resolute and cold. "Then you''ll have to ask if the gun in my hand agrees!" "Do you think you can leave here if you kill me?"


    K showed no fear and, shifting his tone, smiled as he tapped his cigar, then turned to me. "Ms. Wilson, there''s no need to be so on edge. I''m not here to extort money or cause harm. I just want to know one thing


    I pressed down on Jack''s gun. "What is it?"


    "Madam Shaw''s will."


    "So, what is your


    rtionship with Bethany and Simone?"


    If it were anyone else wanting the Shaw family''s wealth they wouldn''t need to inquire about the will. But K mentioning the will right away suggested he wasn''t interested in just those two women.


    K sneered, extinguished his cigar, stood up, and walked towards me with a chilling warning. "Ms. Wilson, if it''s not something you''re supposed to ask, don''t. Just answer my questions honestly."


    I instinctively took a step back. "I don''t know the content of my grandma''s will. I only found out about it from Simone."


    "You''re her granddaughter. Didn''t she tell you?" He squinted, his expression doubtful.


    I replied coldly, "Since you seem to know everything, you should also know that my grandma''s condition- has only recently improved. Before that, she often mistook people and couldn''t possibly remember something like this." with me?"


    "Is that so?" He suddenly grabbed my neck with a cruel grip. "Afe you trying to y games v


    Before I could respond, Jack swung a punch at him, gritting his teeth. "I told you not to touch her!"


    "Ouch...


    K, nearly losing his bnce from the blow, released me in pain. His expression darkened, but just as I thought he was about to explode, he suddenlyughed!


    "Mr. Renolds, I didn''t know you had such a bad temper


    "Do you know each other?"
