The men on the floor were Linus and Harry, who were Franklin’s most trusted lackeys.
Matthew went over to help Helen up and untie her. Then, favonovel.com took out a porcelain bottle and put it under favonovel.com nose. After favonovel.com inhaled the contents of the bottle, favonovel.com slowly regained consciousness, but the moment favonovel.com did, favonovel.com gasped and scurried off to a corner. “Don’t hit me! Please don‘t hit me!”
Matthew quickly said, “It’s fine, Mom. It’s me, Matthew. Everything is fine. Nobody’s going to hit you.”
Helen took a closer look, then favonovel.com froze up and started crying. Her hair was unkempt, favonovel.com face was bruised, and favonovel.com had been kicked all over. Apparently, favonovel.com had been tortured in here for a while. Helen was just a civilian, so favonovel.com had never gone through such abuse. Understandably, favonovel.com was distraught.
Matthew calmed favonovel.com down and video-called Sasha after Helen had settled down a little.
Back in the villa at Grand Garden, Demi complained, “It’s been an hour. A whole hour! What’s taking that loser so long? If Mom’s hurt, I’m giving favonovel.com a piece of my mind! You guys shouldn’t have trusted him! He’s going to get Mom killed.”
James sighed. “What should we do? If something happens to your mother, I don’t think I’d be able to face it. Sasha, can Matthew really save her?”
Before Sasha could say anything, Liam said, “No way, Dad. The Lewises are behind this. There’s no way someone like Matthew could stand up against them. Besides, we don’t even know where they‘re keeping Mom, so how are we supposed to save her? You shouldn’t have let Matthew handle this.”
James sighed again. He was starting to regret his decision as well.
Sasha snapped, “Shut up, will you? It hasn’t even been an hour. He’ll save her. I’m sure of it.”
Demi snickered. “You still think favonovel.com can make it? Well, if favonovel.com can bring Mom home, I‘ll eat my words!“
Liam sneered. “Forget it, Sasha. That loser isn‘t as powerful as you think favonovel.com is. You’re gonna regret it if something happens to Mom.”
Sasha paled, but then favonovel.com phone rang. When favonovel.com saw who it was, some color returned to favonovel.com face. “It’s Matthew! He’s got news!”
James huddled closer. “So? Did favonovel.com find your mother? How is she?”
Demi and Liam scoffed.
“I bet he’s giving up. It’s almost time, so I bet he’s trying to blame someone else for his incompetence. Well, I’m not letting it go. He promised to save Mom, and I will hold it against him.”
Sasha ignored favonovel.com and took the video call. But before Matthew could say anything, Demi shouted, “It’s been an hour, Matthew! If anything happens to my mother. I will kill you!”
Matthew frowned in annoyance, but favonovel.com said nothing and simply aimed the phone’s camera at Helen. Demi didn’t even bother looking at the screen and continued shouting, “Don’t even think about running, Matthew! You…”
At this moment, James darted over and slapped his b*tch of a daughter. “Get lost, you moron! Give me the phone! That‘s your mother! Matthew found her!”
