Jack Quinn can be easily dealt with.

After all, Jack asked Julia Sinclair to act, Julia "killed someone," didn’t completely kill them—it’s Julia’s problem. Besides, Ivana Monroe has already been utterly destroyed.

Isn’t it better than killing her?

Jack Quinn will be satisfied seeing Ivana Monroe barely hanging on, looking so miserable.

Hawk nodded to Blackie, who felt happy. He didn’t have to take on a murder charge now, plus he enjoyed the rewards, he got a big advantage.

Blackie picked up the machete and walked towards Ivana Monroe’s hospital bed.

Seeing Ivana Monroe’s beautiful face, Blackie felt a bit hesitant. He liked beauties, and Ivana was even prettier than Julia Sinclair, but this woman wasn’t as coquettish as Julia; she wouldn’t take the initiative with him.

Besides, even if this woman were a fairy, it wouldn’t matter; the boss wants to deal with her.

Today’s her last day.

"Beautiful lady, stop pretending to be calm; accept your fate! You’ve offended people you shouldn’t have, and this is your destiny." Blackie raised the machete, expecting Ivana Monroe to be scared and show an expression of fear.

But she didn’t.

Blackie sensed something was wrong but couldn’t figure out why.

Ivana Monroe tightly gripped the machete, the blade still stained with Julia Sinclair’s blood. She looked directly at Blackie: "Where exactly have you kidnapped my children? As long as you spare my children, you can take my life."

"You, woman, not only are you good-looking, you’re also smart enough to guess we kidnapped your two sons." Blackie blurted out without much thought.

This woman was almost beyond saving, so telling her wouldn’t matter.

"Blackie." Hawk scolded.

Julia Sinclair’s face turned pale with pain, and hearing Blackie’s words, she got excited. Ivana Monroe’s brat was in Hawk’s hands? Great, she wanted Timmy Monroe dead.

As for Ian Keane, once Ivana was dealt with, she planned to have Blackie kill Timmy Monroe first, then smash Ian Keane’s head with a stone, causing a brain hemorrhage, ideally making him disabled or mentally impaired.

After that, no one would block her way anymore, and if she had Leon Keane’s child, the Kane family would treasure them.

Who would treat a mentally impaired child as a treasure?

At most, there’d be initial sympathy that would turn to aversion over time, and Ian Keane was bound to be abandoned by the Kane family.

Why did Julia choose to have Timmy Monroe die and not Ian Keane too?

Because Ian Keane was his mother’s favorite, and if Ian Keane died, his mother would go mad, endlessly investigating the matter, which Julia feared would lead to her. As long as Ian didn’t die and stayed in the hospital, his mother would be frantically worried, spending all her time and resources trying to heal Timmy Monroe.

At that point, she could offer help to his mother, contacting her head surgery colleagues in Meridia to have Ian treated there.

No one would suspect her involvement.

If Ian Keane had an incident, Ivana turned ugly, would Leon Keane stay with Ivana? Impossible, his mother would definitely demand Leon accompany her to Meridia to care for Ian Keane.

This plan was simply perfect.

Julia felt proud she could come up with such a flawless plan.

Ivana Monroe’s face broke with worry upon hearing Blackie’s words, showing a mother’s deep concern for her children: "Where have you kidnapped my children to? I beg you, don’t harm them. I can give you as much money as you want, you can have my life too, please, just spare them. They’re so young, they’ve only been in this world for six years, they don’t understand anything, they shouldn’t bear adult grudges. Please, just see it as a good deed and spare them!"

Ivana’s pleading voice was filled with sorrow, and Blackie was taken aback.

"We never planned to harm your children." The boss only wanted Ivana’s life, never mentioned the lives of two children. Hawk wasn’t stupid; killing the kids would mean getting caught and executed.

No amount of money would be worth such a deal.

Julia frowned, was Blackie brain-dead? Why tell Ivana that?

"Blackie, don’t waste time with this pretentious woman, hurry up." Julia urged with her soft voice.

"Oh! Right."

Blackie felt he’d spent enough time on Ivana already; a quick resolution was best for safety’s sake, as he felt a strong insecurity here.

Seemed like something bad was about to happen.

Blackie raised the machete again.

"Before I die, I want to ask just one more question. Answer me, and I won’t resist, just like meat on the chopping block."

Tear tracks marred Ivana’s face, looking utterly pitiful, like a defenseless weak girl.

No matter if she’s a weak girl or not, resistance would always be annoying.

Blackie replied: "Alright, ask."

Julia was almost driven mad by Blackie, was he an idiot? Couldn’t he see Ivana was stalling?

"Blackie, don’t trust her, she’s stalling."

"Where have you kidnapped my two children to?"

Ivana and Julia spoke simultaneously. Blackie was closest to Ivana, his attention focused on her, so he didn’t hear Julia clearly.

Blackie hesitated; the children’s location wasn’t easy to reveal, it was Hawk’s area.

Ivana reached into her hospital gown, pulling out the diamond necklace from her neck: "This necklace is worth thirty million. If you tell me where the children are, I’ll give it to you."

A diamond the size of a quail’s egg hung in the center of the necklace, shining brilliantly, captivating not only Blackie but also Julia and Hawk.

Such a large diamond must be worth thirty million.

Blackie, enchanted, reported the address to Ivana: "Little club in the alley of Port Avenue, Qinglong North Road..."

The club belongs to Hawk.

This time, Hawk didn’t stop Blackie; he looked greedily at Ivana’s diamond necklace, thirty million’s worth, as easy as picking up something for free.

Meanwhile, at Ravenswood Wharf.

Leon Keane arrived with the money, but saw no one. He picked up his phone and called the opposing party, who told him to wait, saying they would arrive soon.

He waited impatiently.

No one appeared, not even the usual rustles.

In a typical kidnapping, once the kidnappers agreed on a location, they’d have monitors checking if those coming to redeem someone were followed by the police.

Leon carefully observed upon arrival, finding no suspicious people, and even after several minutes, nobody showed up. He began to feel uneasy.

There might be an ulterior motive behind this call, possibly a trap.

Leon instinctively thought of Ivana, just as he picked up his phone to call her, Ivana’s call came through.

Leon answered: "Honey..."
