Chapter 239 We’re on the Same Boat
Cordell loo ked at the sleeping Bennett and his expression changed.
“Amelie, are you out of your mind? How could you really make a move on this child? He is still so little.
How can you actually sell him to the Crimson Pawnshop? You are going too far. Don’t you have any
conscience?”
Previously, Cordell had received orders from Amelie to send something special to the Crimson
Pawnshop at
the Sutor Wharf.
This Crimson Pawnshop sounded like a usual pawnshop with rare treasures from all over the world, but
it
was actually the root of evil.
The owner of this pawnshop had a mysterious identity and a big background. He had once said that as
long as the person who came to the pawnshop could give him something precious, he could fulfill any of
the
person’s wishes.
Some people used priceless jewelry to exchange for the love they longed for.
Some people exchanged their organs for a considerable amount of wealth.
In short, as long as the owner of the pawnshop was willing to accept the things someone offered, the
person’s wish would definitely be fulfilled.
Since the owner of the pawnshop had agreed to accept Bennett, he must have reached a consensus
with
Amelie.
Now, as long as a reliable person successfully delivered Bennett to the Crimson Pawnshop, this deal
would be officially done.
“Tell me the truth, what do you want from the owner of the Crimson Pawnshop… Wealth? Power? Or
health?”
Cordell racked his brains but could not figure it out. He said anxiously, “You have everything now, but this
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtchild’s life is just beginning. If he is really taken away by the Crimson Pawnshop, his life will be ruined.
Stop it
before it is too late!”
Amelie laughed.
Under the orange light, Amelie stood proudly and sneered, “You have done so many immoral things.
Don’t you think it is too late for you to act like a saint?”
“You have found the one you love and want to quit. But I still have nothing. The man I love is nowhere to
be found. The Stewart family that I yearn for now sees me as a demon. I’ve also lost my ability to be a
mother. If I don’t take a gamble now, my dead mother will definitely show up in my dreams every night,
scolding and slapping me. She will blame me for losing her face… So, what is conscience? It’s just
something useless!”
In the past few years, Amelie had been pretending to be innocent all day to make Braden feel pitiful for
her. She and Braden were getting closer and closer. Amelie believed it was only a matter of time before
she
married into the Stewart family.
But out of Amelie’s expectation, Shirley, the slut in Amelie’s eyes, would actually show up from nowhere
again.
As soon as Shirley showed up, Braden was attracted to her again, and Amelie’s efforts for the past four
years had been all in vain. It was impossible that Amelie would just let it go.
Amelie knew that she was not a match for Shirley, so she had to find a powerful helper. Coincidentally,
Bennett was also a treasure that the owner of the Crimson Pawnshop was very interested in. As a result,
Amelie and the boss naturally hit it off.
“I have no way out. I definitely can’t lose. A moment of hesitation will only drive me into a desperate
situation
Amelie clenched her hands and looked coldly at Cordell. “We are on the same boat. If this child isn’t sent
to the Crimson Pawnshop before the deadline, both you and I will be screwed. The boss behind the
Crimson Pawnshop will not let us go. If you hesitate any longer, you will lose everything, including Nancy,
the woman that you have been longing for!”
Amelie’s words completely crushed Cordell’s psychological defense.
Cordel! could be unafraid of anything, but he could not let Nancy take the risk. The owner of the Crimson
Pawnshop was known for being cold-blooded and crazy. Cordell thought if he really pissed the owner of
the Crimson Pawnshop off, the owner might really take revenge.
Cordell took a deep breath and walked to the side of the bed. He bent down and picked up Bennett, who
was
in a deep sleep.
“Don’t worry. Although this little brat is smart, he trusts me so much that he drank the milk with sleeping
pills that I gave him. He won’t wake up until you reach the Crimson Pawnshop. You are just to send the
boy there, and you will definitely be able to get things done.”
Amelie crossed her arms emotionlessly as she reminded Cordell coldly.
“Amelie, you are really ruthless!”
Cordell looked at the cute Bennett in his arms with a look full of pain and was guilty to the extreme.
“Same to you!”
Amelie looked at Cordell. Just as she was about to mock him, her eyes fell on Bennett, and she suddenly
felt
a little sorry.
Amelie took a deep breath and clenched her fists tightly. She would never allow herself to be soft-
hearted.
“This will be the last time I will do something for you. I hope you can keep your promise and delete the
video recordings in your hands. From now on, we two are even, and do not know each other!”
With that, Cordell left the hotel with Bennett in his arms,
Amelie stood where she was and looked in the direction Cordell and Bennett disappeared in. She did not
move for a long time, standing there without any expression.
After Amelie stood still for a while, she suddenly squatted down and laughed loudly. She was laughing so
hard that she even rolled on the ground.
“How pathetic you are, Amelie! Even the fool who loves you the most left resolutely. You deserve
nothing!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAmelie staggered up from the ground and looked at Bennett’s small mug in the living room as well as the
clothes and toys she had bought for him. Amelie was a little down, but she ignored it forcefully.
Amelie thought, now that I’ve got nothing, I can’t lose. Shirley, you are doomed!
Cordell carried Bennett to the back seat of his car and put Bennett down steadily. Cordell even
considerately covered Bennett with a little velvet blanket.
Cordell thought, this little fellow is really handsome and fair. How adorable!
Thinking of the fact that Bennett would be sent to the Crimson Pawnshop, which was like hell, soon,
Cordell really wanted to kill himself.
Mr. Quintin, the boss of the pawn shop, gave his last order that Bennett had to deliver to him before
dawn, otherwise, Mr. Quintin would take revenge on Cordell and Amelie for breaking the contract.
Cordell hesitated for a long time and finally stepped on the accelerator.
The car slid slowly in the night, and Cordell was also struggling in his deep heart.
At this time, Nancy called Cordell.
Cordell was overjoyed and answered in a hurry, “Babe, are you still mad at me? Please don’t break up
with me,
OK?”
Nancy’s voice was very cold. “Don’t take it wrong. I will definitely break up with you. But if you behave
well, we can get back together.
“I can do anything for you, babe!”
Cordell said sincerely.
“To tell you the truth, my bestie seems to be in trouble. She is too worried about Ben. Didn’t you say you
had a school friend who was the chief of police? Why don’t you get that old school friend of yours to help
find out the whereabouts of Ben as soon as possible?”
Nancy was worried that Cordell approached her with ill intentions, so she chose to temporarily break up
with
him to avoid implicating Shirley.
But if Cordell could find Bennett, Nancy would believe him. Thus, she could also get back together with
Cordell.
In fact, Nancy also wanted to see whether Cordell was sincere to her through this.
“Well…”
Cordell looked at Bennett, who was sleeping peacefully in the back seat, and got into a dilemma
