Chapter 212 212: I will always be grateful to you

Susan sighed as she folded the newspaper closed.

The news of Henry Howard's son Alex Howard's death shocked everyone to the core.

They wondered whether it was a ruse devised by the madman to divert their attention, but it was confirmed that the youngster was no longer alive when his final rituals were broadcast on the new channels, putting their worries to rest.

"May his soul rest in peace," she mumbled, followed by a small prayer and continuing to drink her coffee.

They had apprehended Jacob a few days before, and he had been on his best behavior since then.

But wondering how long he'd be like this was a question.

As she sipped her coffee, a knock on the door drew her attention, and she hurriedly went to open it.

"Ah!"

She was suddenly pushed behind, and three big men barged into their home.

Panic surged through her heart, and she cried, "Who are you? What do you want?"

The men went deaf and continued to rampage through the house till they reached Tiffany's room and broke in with a quick kick on the door.

Susan had no idea what was happening. She had paid off all of Jacob's debtors; who were these?

As she stared at those men in utter terror, the one who went inside emerged, taking Jacob along.

"Let me go! I will give you your money," he screamed, leaving Susan stunned.

Jacob was thrown to the floor, and the man quickly pulled out a revolver and pointed directly between his brows.
