No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother-Chapter 481 - 479 Night Raid on the Hanson Family [11th Update]
Immediately afterward, he saw the kidnapper walk towards Maya Spencer and yank her hair, causing her to cry out in pain.
Then, the kidnapper slapped Maya hard across the face, forcing her to speak. Her lip bled from the slap, and judging by the bruises and swelling on her face, she had been beaten before.
As the slap landed, Xavier Graham and Hudson Moore held their breath, their eyes instinctively turning towards Liam Spencer.
They saw that Liam’s gaze could kill. His fury was palpable, and it was clear that if he caught that kidnapper, Liam would personally dismember him.
Typically, Liam wouldn’t even raise his voice at Maya, yet this man had the audacity to harm her. And from the wetness of her collar and hair, it was evident she’d been waterboarded.
In the video, after being slapped, Maya weakly said, "Third Brother, save me."
However, as soon as she spoke, the man slapped her again, yelling at her to get to the point.
Tears welled up in her eyes as Maya reluctantly said, "Third Brother, please bail my uncle out of the police station and get him to the airport so he can leave safely."
Liam could tell from Maya’s eyes that she didn’t want to say these words, knowing it would harm her uncle rather than help him.
A frightening silence filled the office for a moment. Everyone initially thought it was a kidnapping for ransom, but they didn’t expect it to involve Aron Hanson, especially with demands to release him.
Hudson took a deep breath, turning his head to Xavier and asked, "Could Aron really have committed the murder? Is that why he panicked and kidnapped my sister-in-law to have my brother get him out and sent away?"
An ordinary person watching this video would immediately suspect Aron as the real culprit, losing all trust in him.
However, Liam trusted Maya’s eyes; she didn’t want Aron to be sent away.
Liam speculated that the kidnappers had told Maya something that made her so unwilling to speak.
If Aron was innocent and the kidnappers were trying to free him, the only person who would benefit would be the true murderer.
With this realization, Liam grew even more tense, knowing that if he did release Aron, Maya might never return.
"Third Brother, I’ll go to the station to get him out and exchange for my sister-in-law," Hudson was already eager to take action.
"Aron can’t be released right now," Liam stopped him.
Xavier said, "If we release Aron, we will have no leverage. If the kidnapper doesn’t release Maya, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Then let’s do a direct exchange: he gives us my sister-in-law, and we give him Aron."
"They won’t meet with us. Now it all depends on the third brother’s patience and whether he can remain calm," Xavier was absolutely right. What to do next was entirely up to Liam.
If he couldn’t bear seeing Maya being abused, they would have to release Aron according to the kidnapper’s demands. But showing their hand too early would be the most dangerous move.
Listening to Xavier and Hudson’s debate, Liam didn’t respond. He grabbed his phone and walked out.
As he opened the office door, he suddenly turned back and instructed Hudson, "Hudson, have someone investigate Maya’s phone IP address and all connection points."
"Already on it," Hudson had arranged for people to track Maya’s IP as soon as the kidnapper’s message was received.
Immediately after, Xavier and Hudson heard the door slam, and Liam disappeared from their sight.
The two of them were momentarily stunned, unable to understand where Liam would go at a time like this, so they quickly followed.
In the underground parking lot, they saw Liam’s car speeding away just as they arrived at the exit.
Seeing this, Xavier immediately got into his car, started it, and followed, with Hudson sitting in the passenger seat.
Inside the car, Hudson turned to Xavier and confusedly asked, "Where is the third brother heading? It seems like he’s going towards Aron’s house."
"He might have discovered a clue," Xavier replied calmly.
Thinking about Maya’s eyes in the video and her forlorn gaze, Liam inexplicably thought of someone. He wondered if Aron bore the whole blame and went into hiding, and Maya was gone, who would benefit the most? After all, Maya held a will that passed down 30% of the shares.
Half an hour later, Liam’s car crashed straight into Aron’s gate since it wasn’t the first time he did something like this.
"Big brother, has the third brother gone insane?" Hudson watched Liam’s crazed behavior, stunned, not expecting the usually silent Liam to be so astonishingly wild when mad.
Hearing Hudson’s question, Xavier ignored it and also drove his car through the gate.
By the time their car stopped at the villa’s entrance, Liam had already gotten out and was heading upstairs, the lights of the villa illuminated, likely due to the ruckus from the gate crashing.
When Liam stood at the door, a maid hurriedly opened it to check the commotion outside. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
The butler, seeing Liam standing at the door in rage, was so frightened that his legs gave out, trembling all over. "Third Young Master, what brings you here so late?" he asked fearfully.
Ignoring the butler’s questions, Liam grabbed her collar and tossed her aside, marching upstairs to the villa on his own. Following this, Xavier and Hudson hurriedly tailed after him.
Watching the unfriendly trio, the butler hurried behind to explain, "Third Young Master, our lady isn’t here; she’s on a business trip."
Since Aron was still detained, the only person Liam could be seeking was his sister Jane Spencer.
Liam disregarded the butler’s explanation. Upon reaching the master bedroom door, he kicked it open, while the butler scrambled to turn on the lights and open the bedroom sliding door for Liam to inspect.
Looking around, Liam saw the room was neatly arranged, the bed untouched, confirming Jane was indeed not there.
At this point, the butler cautiously explained again, "After the young master left, the lady has been managing the company’s affairs. She flew out yesterday morning at eight. I don’t know her exact destination, but she mentioned she’d be back in a week."
Hearing that Jane would only be back in a week, Liam’s mouth curled into a sneer, thinking that this woman had it all planned out. By the time she returned in a week, Aron would have escaped, and Maya would be gone. She could then enjoy the spoils and seize what didn’t belong to her.
Liam couldn’t understand how Jane could be so shameless. Did she not fear repercussions holding on to something that wasn’t hers?
Previously, Liam only thought of his sister as possessive, hypocritical, and competitive, which he didn’t like, but he never imagined her to be this unscrupulous.
In his memory, Edward Spencer wasn’t someone who valued competition; he was indifferent to most things except women. But Jane’s insidiousness and ruthlessness, who did she take after?
