Chapter 405 I Am Right Here Outside, the increasingly loud alarm compelled them to make a hasty exit; they had no other choice but to flee from the impending danger.

At that crucial juncture, Derek expertly cocked his gun, ready for what seemed an inevitable and intense confrontation. Jarrett, on the other hand, was fraught with worry.

The possibility that his actions could have inadvertently endangered his only remaining family member, Ambrose, filled him with dread, even before he had the chance to lay eyes on him.

In a low, urgent whisper, Derek revealed, "From the very instant Horatio received the phone call from Ms. Calista, his allegiance shifted away from Kiefer. Now, he has Mr. Ambrose in his grasp and is currently en route to meet her. Consequently, our presence here has become irrelevant."

Jarrett, unsure of Ambrose's well-being, was visibly troubled. His anxiety spilled over as he asked, "What if Horatio decides to harm Ambrose when we make our move?"

Derek's eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint forming as he responded, "No, Ms. Calista would never allow Mr. Ambrose to come to harm. She specifically wanted me to show you something."

Derek then presented Jarrett with a video that David had previously sent to Calista. Watching the footage, Jarrett's anger surged, and he gripped his phone so tightly it seemed he might shatter it.

The orderly march of police boots resonated through the air. Before leaving to confront the police, Derek turned to Jarrett, stating, "Ms. Calista has entrusted me with a message for you."

Jarrett's intense stare flickered across the room, not directed at Derek but at the brazen b*stard who dared torment Ambrose. Through gritted teeth, Jarrett demanded, "What did she say?"

Derek relayed, "Ms. Calista said this man's hands are far too tainted. Should we encounter him, we are to break his fingers one by one, documenting it for her to witness."

This directive seemed to restore Jarrett's composure, replacing his menacing look with a sinister smile. Brandishing his gun, he smirked. "Let's see who can track him down first."
