That young girl who was domineering...
She was the apple of Master Alex's eyes.
Master Alex had watched that girl grow up. Her position in Master Alex’s heart was incomparable to anyone else.
Even Jane was no match for Lily.
Although Garrett felt heartbroken for Jane, he could not say anything as well.
He was only a bodyguard. That was his direct superior, Master Alex's, business. He could only obey orders and do as he was told.
At this moment, Garrett, who was standing outside the cave, was watching the people inside the cave without any expression on his face.
An honest and earnest man was looking back at him without blinking his eyes, and the woman in his arms was curled into a ball. She was trembling, and her pair of big innocent and helpless eyes were looking at Garrett with tears and despair filled her expression.
There was also an old lady next to them who was dressed in shabby clothes.
The old lady staggered to her feet and blocked him, keeping Jane and Noah behind her.
She said weakly, "Take me away. Take me, and you can vent your anger on me, alright?"
Garrett was speechless.
He could not answer, he just looked at Jane.
Jane looked at Garrett with teary eyes, and her tone was incredibly desperate. "I... I truly don’t owe Mr. Poole anything. I didn't take his money. That one million dollars of his had already been taken by his fiancee. She had even beaten me up twice in a row, and I almost died.
"Why must you drive my back against the wall and exterminate me?
"I'm begging you, spare my life, alright? I won't disturb Mr. Poole. I will never see him again in this life. I also don't want a single penny from him. I just want to live. Please spare my life, alright?"
Two big drops of tears fell down from her cheeks, but she tried her best to squeeze out a smile. She tried explaining it over and over again. "I... I truly didn’t take anything or any money from Mr. Poole. It's true.
"I will never tell anyone in this life that I knew him. I won’t”
Garrett turned around and walked away.
After he had walked down a good distance, he began t o contact the rest with signals. 1
Half an hour later, the few people who went to search the mountains went down the mountain together.
At the bottom of the mountain by the roadside, Alex was just standing next to the car and pacing about. The majority of the men he had sent had come back and their search was futile.
The mountain that Garrett had entered was desolate, s o Garett and the few men were the last to come back.
Alex had placed all this hope on Garrett.
"Any signs?" Alex asked as soon as he spoke.
Garrett could even hear that Alex’s voice was hoarse from searching for them to the extent that at this moment, he said with incomparable regret, "Master Alex... I had searched the whole mountain. Indeed, there was nothing. Master Alex, could they have taken a bike or something, and had already escaped from the mountainous road long ago?" Alex was speechless.
