Chapter 639
Gracie was now too occupied to care about anything else; he hopped in his car and raced to take Ashley to the hospital.
Jeffrey rushed straight to his son's school, barged into the classroom, and yanked Eric out like a chicken. Eric, who studied at a fancy prep school, was naturally afraid of his father, so he didn't dare to scream. He just felt embarrassed to be pulled out in front of his classmates and teachers. His eyes were red from anger, but he didn't dare to cry or yell.
Rebecca arrived shortly after, and seeing her son being treated like this by Jeffrey, she was so mad she could explode.
"Jeffrey!" she shrieked, her voice echoing down the tree-lined path of the elementary school.
Luckily, it was class time, so there weren't many people around.
Jeffrey continued walking with Eric without any expression on his face, completely ignoring Rebecca.
Furious, Rebecca shouted, "Is there anyone here? Catch him for me!"
Jeffrey heard this, smirked, and took a knife out of his pocket, holding it to Eric's throat. "Rebecca, let's see if you dare let your people make a move!" "Stop! Everyone stop! Don't move!"
Eight female bodyguards were all scared stiff.
"Jeffrey, don't do anything rash; that's your son." Rebecca's voice trembled.
"Mom, save me. Why is dad doing this to me?"
Rebecca took a deep breath and said, "Baby. Your dad is just joking with you; don't cry. Jeffrey, tell me, what the hell do you want?"
At this moment, Rebecca was truly scared.
Jeffrey looked at her coldly and said, "I want Emily alive, or he will have to go down with her!"
"Okay, okay, I'll keep Emily alive; I'll keep her alive; don't hurt him." Even the usually proud Rebecca couldn't hide the fear in her reddened eyes.
Her son was the most important thing in her life, more important than her own life.
Her fingers were shaking as she took out her phone from her bag and called Sullivan, directly asking, "Is the kid dead?"
Sullivan truthfully answered, "No."
He didn't have the heart to harm an innocent child.
Rebecca took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and then opened them again.
At this moment, she was incredibly grateful for Sullivan's mercy and for
Sullivan's soft heart. ContentV
The child was still alive; that's good.
"Jeffrey! The child is still alive; let go of my son now!"
"You first!"
Rebecca told the person on the other end of the phone, "Let her go!" Sullivan frowned and asked, "Did Jeffrey take Eric to threaten you?"
At this moment, Sullivan was doubting his life choices.
Jeffrey, how could he be so cruel to his own son?
Was Eric really his son?
Sullivan was skeptical.
"Shut up! Don't ask I told you to let her go; let her go now!" Rebecca said sternly.
Sullivan snapped back to reality and said coldly, "Understood."
Half an hour later, a little girl's crying was heard on the hotel staircase.
Emily was found by a staff member and then taken back to Stephanie's room.

tear-streaked Emily,

held her and said, "Emily! did you go? Your mother and
Emily cried, "I woke up and found myself the staircase; it was pitch black around me. I was so scared."
"It's okay now, it's okay now!"
