Admitting To It
On the way, the three of them were embarrassed to hear Blake’s words.
Geoffrey had worked for the Nightshires for a few decades, so Vinson knew his wife and kid. He was
pleased that they seemed honest. Looking at Geoffrey, he said, “Tell me everything you know.”
He wanted to know why the culprit arranged for Geoffrey to be a spy. What does the culprit want from
Geoffrey?
“I’m sorry, Mr. Vinson,” Geoffrey apologized sincerely. He was both elated and guilty after being
reunited with his wife and kid.
“No need to apologize. Just tell me everything,” Vinson told him.
Geoffrey was stumped, for there was nothing much he could say.
“A while ago, I went back home to realize my wife wasn’t there. I assumed she went out and didn’t think
much about it. Soon, someone sent me a video.” Geoffrey proceeded to reveal everything with his eyes
shut. In the end, he concluded, “Mr. Vinson, I didn’t touch the thirty million. I never wanted the money in
the first place.”
“Take the money. You can spend it however you like.” That would be Geoffrey’s compensation. Vinson
gazed at him and said in a serious manner, “You should’ve informed me about this in the first place. Do
you think they will release your wife and child after you told them what they wanted?”
Geoffrey knew his decision was wrong, but he was utterly flustered when his wife and child were
kidnapped. The kidnapper claimed they would be in danger if he refused to listen to their instructions.
Thus, Geoffrey had no choice but to do as told.
“Mr. Vinson, from now on, I will let you know immediately no matter what happens in the future,”
Geoffrey promised. He felt so guilty that he couldn’t bring himself to look up.
The next day, Susanne came home when Vinson was about to leave. She found out that Vinson had
questioned Geoffrey. Before that, she had no idea her son flew back home from Lightspring. Her
instincts told her something was wrong, for Vinson went to question Geoffrey upon arrival. Thus, she
rushed back home instantly.
“Why are you hurt?” Susanne gaped in disbelief at the sight of Vinson’s bandage. She scurried forward,
concern evident in her eyes.
Under her concerned gaze, Vinson said in a low voice, “Mom, I’m fine. This is just a minor wound, so
don’t worry.”
Susanne knew her son well, so it didn’t escape her notice that he didn’t want her to worry about him.
She huffed, “This isn’t a minor wound!” After saying that, she urged him to undergo a checkup at the
hospital.
Knowing she was worried about him, Vinson had no choice but to agree to her request reluctantly.
“Where is Sannie? Didn’t she come back with you? Why did you question Geoffrey upon arrival? What
did he do wrong?”
Vinson’s expression turned dark when he heard Arielle’s name. “Mom, Sannie has been kidnapped.”
“What? By who? How dare they kidnap one of the Nightshires? Does the kidnapper have a death
wish?” Susanne declared heatedly.
Vinson’s voice was icy as he said, “It might be someone from Turlen.”
Susanne was stunned. “What? I-It’s someone from Turlen? That country I told you about previously?”
Vinson gave a curt nod. “They kidnapped Geoffrey’s family and forced him to provide them information
about our family. I questioned him, but he didn’t know much about the culprit and couldn’t provide any
useful information.”
