Chapter 532:
Raymond started to argue, but Bryanâs stern gaze silenced him.
Raymond felt tears welling up in his eyes. âWait for the police! We already called them; they can help! Donât go in there by yourself.â
âThose people canât be trusted,â Bryan said. When he learned that Dewitt had concealed his true purpose here, Bryan knew those people would risk everything for the arrest operation.
They would sacrifice hostages to capture Travisâ father.
They wouldnât care about Gabrielaâs and Rubyâs safety.
Without a second thought, Bryan turned and walked towards the mountains. His voice was cold and determined. âTake Eileen home.â
Bryan then disappeared into the thick brush on the mountainside.
Raymond started driving back. He couldnât help but call the police, hoping they would help Bryan save Gabriela.
On the way back, he got a call from Josue. Jacob had also found out about this and was rushing there with Josue.
âDid they enter the building? Stop them if you can! Whatever theyâre planning, we need a police strategy. We have to work together!â
Raymond glanced at the unconscious Eileen in the back seat, his voice shaky. âMs. Curtis is with me. Mr. Dawson told me to take her home. That means⦠He will bring Gabriela back safely today, or heâs not coming back.â
Jacob roared, âWhatâs his plan? Revenge can wait! Does he even have a plan? Those people are dangerous! Why didnât you talk him out of this? Heâs lost his mind!â
Josue snatched the phone from Jacobâs hand and asked Raymond for the location. Then, he hung up.

Without another word, Josue jumped into the car and slammed the ignition. The engine roared to life.
Jacob wasnât about to let Josue go alone. He threw open the passenger door and practically leaped into the car. âIâm coming, too.â
âAbsolutely not,â Josue said, shoving Jacob out of the car, his voice laced with desperation. âYouâve got people depending on you. I can handle this alone. Iâm not afraid of anything.â
Before Jacob could react, Josue started the car. The tires screeched as the car sped away, leaving Jacob standing there alone.
Jacobâs first instinct was to chase after the car, but then he stopped dead in his tracks. Images of his babyâs giggling face and Phoebeâs warm smile flooded his mind.
He clenched his fists, watching Josueâs car disappear into the distance. With a guttural roar, he lashed out by punching his own car.
