Silence Walks Beside Us by Eli Dane Cade 148

Chapter 148 

Ash couldn’t believe that she was so unlucky that she was held hostage. 

She had guessed that this farce was carefully planned, but she did not expect it to be so thoroughly planned. 

There was actually someone who cooperated with the crying man in the middle. 

But Ash didn’t know why she was chosen to be held hostage. At this moment, the cold knife was pressed against her neck. She was not afraid. Instead, she felt like laughing. 

Most of the time, bad luck always came to her so quietly. 

The knife–wielding man’s angry roar attracted everyone’s attention. In an instant, no one paid attention to the crying man in the center. After all, such an even more interesting scene had appeared. 

When Calvert came forward, he saw such a terrifying scene. His face instantly darkened. He broke through the crowd and came to a spot about five feet away from the person holding the knife. His voice was calm and steady when he asked, “What do you want? If you hurt her, you won’t get anything.” 

The person with the knife spat. “I can’t get anything? Even if I don’t hurt her, I still can’t get anything, right? People like you. love to brainwash others! 

“Cut the crap now. You’ve earned all the money. You’ve enjoyed a good life. What do we get? The boy is unconscious, and my sister–in–law is on the verge of death! It’s all because of you people who got other people’s hard–earned money. That lousy game charged so much money! 

“You destroyed our entire family! You destroyed us completely. Only when we’re making a scene will you be merciful and look at us! Only when you’re in danger will you try to think of a solution! What about before? Why did you ignore us before? Why didn’t you give us a solution before?” The person holding the knife was on the verge of breaking down. 

Blood was already seeping out of Ash’s neck. She sighed imperceptibly. “No one wants this to happen…” 

Before she could finish, she was interrupted by the person holding the knife. He almost roared, “Shut the fuck up! No one wants to hear your nonsense!” 

“You just want to take a hostage, don’t you?” Calvert looked at Ash’s fair and slender neck that was oozing blood. He pursed his lips. 

Calvert’s expression was calm when he said, “I can be your hostage. I’m the person in charge of the Snider Group. Perhaps you don’t know me, but I think everyone present knows me. Holding me hostage is more valuable than holding her hostage. Moreover, our company owns nearly ten gaming companies of all sizes. Aren’t I more detestable?” 

When Ash saw him say those crazily brave words without changing his expression, she looked quite anxious and signaled for Calvert not to act rashly with her eyes. 

Although the person holding the knife was agitated, he was more afraid. His hand that was holding the knife was trembling slightly. Ash could guarantee that he could safely escape from the person holding the knife. She just needed to wait for the right time. 

So at this time, she thought that Calvert shouldn’t play the hero saving the damsel in distress. 

Calvert’s voice was aloof and calm. For some reason, he had an innate sense of persuasion. The person holding the knife clearly hesitated. 

Seeing this, Calvert took a tentative step forward. “You’re holding the knife now. I will walk to you and not let anything

han to you? 

TonTmwivel Stop right there? The person holding the knife suddenly realized something. He roared and the tip of the knife went deeper into Ash’s neck. 

The pain intensihed, and Ash looked like she was in pain.
