“Do you want him dead?!”
The person on the other side was clearly shocked as well.
“Yes,” Sirena said, no longer pretending in front of him. “So I need to eliminate any potential threats in the cradle.”
She thought about it. If she let this child go, he would eventually seek out Ulric.
There was no other way but to make him disappear completely from this world.
“You said you’re sure he’s not Ulric’s son, and now you say he’s a threat!” The man wasn’t stupid and immediately caught on. “You’re deliberately trying to make me offend the Walters family!”
“You won’t offend the Walters family. Whether that child is Ulric’s or not, the Walters family won’t accept him! I just need to ensure nothing happens to you, isn’t that enough?”
“No way, I can’t take this job. Find someone else!” The man refused decisively.
Sirena frowned. “I can pay more.”
“It’s not about the money! I can’t harm such a small child.”
Besides, this child was Ulric’s!
This was like dancing on the devil’s head; there would be no good outcome.
“How many lives have you taken? And now you say you can’t do it?” Sirena sneered. “Stop being hypocritical. Just name your price.”
“No amount of money will do! You better send someone over to pick up this child. I can’t handle this hot potato.”
If he had known it was Ulric’s son, he wouldn’t have taken any amount of money to risk bringing the child out!
“…You want to back out? I’ve already paid you! And don’t think that just because you won’t take the job, you can wash your hands of this matter! If you don’t kill the child and he escapes, it will be even easier for him to expose us! Now, if you quietly kill him, no one will ever know.”
Sirena had already created a perfect alibi for herself. With Johnny around, she wouldn’t be a suspect.
“Miss Reynolds, one shouldn’t be too ruthless.”
“If I’m not ruthless, should I leave room for others to retaliate against me?”
She had lost all reason now; anything that could affect her and Ulric had to be removed!
“I’ll think about it.”
Seeing that he hesitated, Sirena didn’t push for an immediate answer.
After hanging up the phone, she chuckled and looked out the car window.
The driver glanced at her through the rearview mirror but didn’t dare say a word. It was clear he had heard her conversation.
Sirena raised an eyebrow. Her voice carried a smile but was chilling enough to make anyone tremble.
“Don’t meddle in things that aren’t your concern; no one will save you if trouble comes.”
“Miss Reynolds, I didn’t hear anything… Mrs. Walters said I should just follow your orders.”
Sirena patted his shoulder. “Good, that’s better.”
…
Ulric drove straight to the hospital where Rosalind had once been examined. On the way, he personally instructed Cedric to investigate the whereabouts of the child.
Since the child had appeared, no matter who took him or for what purpose, he had to find him!
Although according to Johnny, the little boy should have been taken by his own family, what if?
The moment he appeared with a face identical to Ulric’s, it was enough to attract some dangerous attention.
“Cedric, drop everything else and focus on finding him!”
“I understand, Mr. Walters.”
