Chapter: 1428

"So, her lie is finally out in the open. She's so scared that she's running away. How embarrassing."

"I can't understand why Mr. Scott picked such a shameless woman as his partner."

Most of the guests avoided talking about Iker's brother, who had died in the car accident, and quickly changed the subject.

Iker nodded, pleased. This was exactly what he wanted. Did his foolish niece really think that throwing accusations at him on stage would bring him down?

She was so naive!

No businessman is easy to deal with. They are all sly and ruthless.

Iker sneered as he gazed down at the banquet hall from the corridor on the second floor.

He was certain that he could remain the head of the Wilson family.

Feeling pleased for a moment, he then realized he hadn't seen his wife and daughter for hours.

Could the two have gone off to avoid this? That seemed unlikely.

They despised Norah just as much.

He frowned and headed toward the guest rooms. As he walked past one, he heard a whine.

It was the muffled sound of someone whose mouth was covered. Though the noise downstairs was loud, he still picked up on it clearly.

Iker recognized the source of the noise and pushed the door open.

The banquet hall was heavily secured. He had no fear of any wrongdoers hiding inside the room.

Blue veins bulged on his forehead upon seeing the scene inside, as his blood pressure surged.

Mindy and Elsa were both bound with ropes, typically used in sexual contexts, and gagged with sheets. The sheets were balled up and stuffed into the mouths of the mother and daughter.

Additionally, a naked man lay next to them, also tightly bound.

He wasn't wearing any underwear, and a towel was stuffed in his mouth.

The three of them looked at Iker with tears in their eyes, as if they had just seen their rescuer.

"You..." Iker clenched his teeth, crouched down, and began untying his wife and daughter. "Why are you tied up here? What happened with this man?"

Once Mindy was untied, she rubbed her neck, which caused her to cry out in pain, “Ouch, it was that woman, Norah. She knocked me and Elsa out. When we came, we were tied up here."

She and Elsa were totally shocked upon waking up next to a naked man.

They wanted to scream, but their mouths were gagged, making it impossible.
