Chapter 972: Poppy Was Captured

Mark's eyes were bloodshot with rage. "Ungrateful fool! You dare ruin the Swanson family over something so trivial? No wonder you'll never amount to anything in this lifetime."

Kevin, long numb to such words, turned away and walked to a corner. He picked up a small wooden box.

"Grandfather, do you remember who this belonged to?"

Mark's brows furrowed deeply. "You..."

Kevin's lips curled into a cold sneer. "Before my mother died, she longed for one last look at her

child. But what did you do? You took Poppy away and left her to die here in despair."

He could never forget the sight of his mother being tortured to death before his very eyes.

"If it weren't for Poppy, I wouldn't have even bothered to keep her alive."

Mark showed no remorse. To him, he had done nothing wrong. What he sought was an heir who would obey his every will. A mere woman's death was insignificant.

Kevin's gaze darkened, his expression cold and ruthless, sending chills to anyone who saw it. "In

the Swanson family, you've been like a demon, casting a shadow over this household and suffocating us all."

"Today, it's finally time to put an end to it."

Mark's heart skipped a beat. "Kevin, what are you planning to do?"

Before anyone could react, Tina and Jared exchanged a quick glance and prepared to intervene.

Suddenly, Tina's phone lit up. She stood abruptly. "Poppy is in danger!"

The moment Kevin heard Poppy's name, he froze. "What happened to Poppy?"

Tina glanced at him. "If you don't want anything to happen to Poppy, put down what you're holding and come with us."

Watching the moving cursor on her phone screen, Tina instructed Jayden, who was stationed nearby, to step in. She needed more people to search the Swanson family estate for Poppy. Jayden arrived swiftly, whispering a few words in Tina's ear. Tina nodded in acknowledgment. The cursor on the screen stopped at a specific point. Tina handed the phone to Kevin. Kevin's face turned grim as he quickly took the lead. "I know who took Poppy."

Jayden. "Station people near the hidden room and wait for our return." She couldn't shake the feeling that someone like Mark
