Hubby 392

Chapter 392 Was Sylvester's Death Connected to the Hardisons?

They rushed frantically into the kids' bedroom-and there he was. A mercenary, holding a knife, had Shane and Jasper cornered.

Shane looked terrified as his eyes darted toward Sidney and Caden. "Caden... Sidney.....

But Jasper, ever the fearless little guy, was dangling in mid-air by the straps of his overalls, feet off the ground, and thought it was some kind of game. "Hechee! Flying! Wheee!"

Sidney's eyes narrowed in a cold glare. He warned that man. "This is Scaville. How dare you lay a finger on a Hardisons?"

The man wore a mask. His eyes betrayed no fear-this was someone hardened by chaos.

He glanced at Sidney, then looked straight at Charles. "We're not here to hurt the kids. We have no choice. Mr. Hardison, make it easy for everyone-just hand that man over."

Sidney's expression darkened. He turned to Charles.

Charles frowned too, not expecting Assad's crew to be this insane. He actually sent Don to track him down here.

This was the Hardisons' property. Sidney's territory. Was Assad out of his mind? Charles had thought staying with the Hardisons was his safest bet.

Sure, Assad ruled the underworld in Seaville, but the Hardisons had been legends in the black market back in the day. Even Assad wouldn't dare openly challenge them. Even the powerful figures behind Assad usually showed the Hardisons some respect.

Now, kidnapping their sole heir? That was crossing a line. There would be no going back from this.

"You've lost your damn mind! Put the kid down now!" Caden barked and lunged forward, ready to fight. Sidney caught his arm and stopped him.

"Mr. Hardison,” Don said arrogantly, "we wouldn't have come if we were afraid of your family. But we still respect you. Your grandfather walked away from all this years ago. It hasn't been easy keeping your family out of trouble since then; we're asking politely here-no need to ruin that peace over a stranger."
