Tanya, no longer daring to conceal the truth, nodded hastily. “Yes, he wanted me to gain your trust and then find an opportunity to lure the children out.”

Cedrick’s expression grew even more solemn, his lips tightly pursed, and his gaze chilling. Joe really hates me to the core. Since he can’t take me down, he resorted to targeting my wife and children. After years of training together, how could he become such a vicious and heartless person?

Cedrick could not understand why. Is it worth dedicating his entire life to seeking revenge for a manipulative and scheming woman who has been dead for years?

After losing in thought for a moment, he came to his senses. Glaring at Tanya, he asked, “Apart from this, is there anything else you want to confess? This might be your last chance, so think carefully before you speak.”

Tanya racked her brain, fearing that Cedrick might get Swain to torture her even further. “That’s all, Mr. Jenson. I told you everything I know.”

“All right. I’ll honor my promise and spare you,” Cedrick replied.

Tanya was struck dumb for a moment. “No, Mr. Jenson. That’s not what I meant. I know I’ve gone against the law, and I accept the consequences. Please send me to prison and have me locked up! I beg you!”

Cedrick snorted, arching his brows. “You don’t tell me what to do.”

Tanya burst into tears, her face filled with terror. Despite the excruciating pain coursing through her body, she crawled on her knees toward Cedrick, desperately trying to clutch onto his trousers. “Mr. Jenson, please! I can’t go out there. That man will kill me!”

Upon noticing her behavior, Swain immediately stepped forward to block her path, preventing her from touching Cedrick’s clothes.

In the past few days, Cedrick had grown increasingly disgusted by her touch, forcing him to discard numerous outfits that he had worn. It was really a waste.

Cedrick kept his gaze low, his expression indifferent, as he focused on his wristwatch, which was a gift from his wife, and stroked the intricate patterns on the watch strap.

“Before releasing her, take her to a plastic surgery hospital. Make sure the doctors reconstruct her face to match her previous identity as stated on her ID card. Charge the expenses to her mother’s bank account,” he instructed Swain in a cold tone. Even if she’s going to meet her end, I can’t allow her to die with Gwenny’s appearance.
