Chapter 1842

Ruth shouted, "If you don't go, he'll kill Zac! Mr. Lloyd, please... You have to save him! At this point, you're the only one who can do anything!"

Ruth broke down in tears after that, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably. She was clearly terrified out of her mind.

Andrew helped her up and said, "Tell me everything, from the beginning. Zachary already passed the selection round, wasn't he supposed to become Mr. Thornton's apprentice?"

Ruth sobbed. "That's what we thought when we went there. But before we could even see Mr. Thornton, Mr. Wallace suddenly lashed out and struck Zac in the chest. He coughed up blood right on the spot and didn't even get a chance to fight back before they had him pinned!"

She added, "Mr. Wallace let me go and told me to bring you this message. If you don't show up soon, Zac's as good as dead!"

Andrew's eyes flashed with cold fury. "That bastard!"
