Chapter 428 Setting out in Full Force
Amber rang the bell but failed to replace the person named Jeremiah Rylands in her memories.
However, she felt familiar with this name, somehow. It seemed she had heard it somewhere before.
When and where did she hear it...
"Right." Talon withdrew his head. A spooky light flashed through his eyes. He turned the emerald ring and added, "I've been looking for Jeremiah
Rylands and finally found him. He's pretty competent. I can't do anything to him, so I have to do something on you."
As he spoke, he reached out to raise Amber's chin.
His cold finger made Amber think he had nobody temperature at all. She shivered. Fear appeared in her eyes.
She feared him because her intuition told her this man was way too horrible.
"Do something to me..." Amber swallowed hard. Her red lips trembled. She asked, "Why me?"
"As I said just now, you are the woman Jeremiah Rylands cares the most. Hence, I have to kidnap you as I want to teach him a lesson. As long as you are in my hands, he'll definitely come to me for rescuing you. Then I can kill him." Talon laughed creepily.
Amber shivered again. "Do... Do you want to kill him?"
"I'll suffer if he's not dead," Talon admitted it aboveboard. He indeed wanted to kill Jeremiah.
He was Edmund Rylands' fourth son, also an illegitimate one.
When Edmund was young, he fooled around with women, so he had many illegitimate children, all boys. Before Talon, there were another three illegitimate sons, and there were several after him.
All those illegitimate sons wished to inherit the Rylands family and get everything from this family. Hence, they kept fighting against each other either openly or secretly. Edmund knew it, but he never stopped them. Therefore, those illegitimate sons didn't have any scruples, only trying their best to kill each other.
Finally, some of them died, some became disabled, and some escaped abroad. Only Talon and another four remained.
However, when the five men thought that one of them would become the heir, much to their surprise, Edmund didn't have any plan to let an illegitimate son inherit the Rylands family. Instead, he kept looking for the son born by his official wife, the only legitimate master of the Rylands family. When the young master was five, Edmund kicked him and his mother out of the Rylands family. Hence, those illegitimate sons had never thought Jeremiah would be their competitor. Probably, Edmund was old or sick. He started missing his wife and son.
Hence, he asked his men to replace his son and make him the heir, a competitor of those illegitimate ones.
They had defeated many brothers and worked hard for many years to become the heir and inherit the Rylands family. They were not convinced to let Jeremiah take everything from them.
Hence, the five illegitimate sons stopped being against each other for the time being. Instead, they decided to unite and get rid of Jeremiah first. Jeremiah was born by their father's official wife, so he was the most qualified son to become the heir. Talon had obtained Jeremiah's whereabouts much earlier than the other four did. After ensuring Jeremiah's appearance, he kept making trouble to Jeremiah in secret. He wished to let Jeremiah die in an accident, but the latter discovered it and dodged.
Hence, Talon ran out of his patience and came into town in person. He wanted to kill Jeremiah but failed. However, he noticed Jeremiah was close to a woman, so he asked his men to look into the woman's background. He planned to use this woman to lure Jeremiah into his trap and kill him.
Amber didn't know what was in Talon's mind. She looked at him in horror. "You are so terrible."
She wondered if those people, such as this man, Makenna, and Trenton, were heartless.
How could they want to kill others?
"Am I terrible?" Talon didn't get angry after hearing Amber's remark. Instead, he laughed. However, his laughter was gloomy and harsh. "You are right. I am terrible. I enjoy letting others fear me. It will prove how great I am."
He opened his arms and slightly raised his head, looking proud.
Amber's lips twitched. She was wordless.
He seemed to be a naive, stupid teenager.
"Excuse me, Young Master," one of the men suddenly said to Talon.
Talon frowned and turned around. "What's the matter?"
The man held his phone and answered, "I've sent the message to Jeremiah Rylands to inform him we've kidnapped Amber Reed."
"Did he reply?" Talon asked.
"Yes, he did." The man nodded. "He replied three words: How dare you."
He showed Talon the message.
Reading it, Talon snorted in disdain. "He's indeed angry. That's good. Tell him to go to Duparmere Hills if he wants to save Amber Reed."
"Yes, Young Master," the man answered and went away to enter the message. Amber said, "You've made a mistake. How could that person come to save me?" "Huh?" Talon turned around. "You think he won't come to save you?"
"Right. He won't, definitely. I don't know anyone named Jeremiah Rylands. It means he doesn't know me either. You said he cared about me, but it should be fake. How could he come to save an unknown person? You'd better don't waste your effort. Let me go." Amber looked over at him. Her heart jumped to her throat.
She hoped that he could listen to her.
She didn't think the man named Jeremiah knew her. This man must have made a mistake.
Hence, she tried to prove that Jeremiah didn't know him so that this man would probably let her go.
"Don't you know him?" Talon looked as if he had a big joke. He burst into laughter.
Looking at his laughing face, Amber felt creepy. "What are you laughing at?"
Talon held his arm on his chest. "It turns out Jeremiah Rylands hasn't told you his real identity. It's alright. It's not important, either.
The most important thing is that you know him, and he does care about you. He'll absolutely come to save you. You should believe your charm, dear."
Talon let go of her chin and rubbed her face.
Amber just felt a viper crawl on her face. She had goosebumps and kept leaning back to raise her neck so that she could dodge.
Talon stopped gripping her. "All right. Stay here obediently. If you behave yourself, I might have mercy on you after I kill Jeremiah Rylands. If not, after Jeremiah Rylands comes over, I'll kill you both together. Anyway, he loves you. I can make his wish come true to bring you guys together. Probably, he would thank me."
After that, he withdrew his hands and left the van.
Amber trembled, looking pale. Fear fulfilled her eyes. She realized this man wanted to kill her as well.
He was just saying to have mercy on her.
She had already seen his face. How could he let her go?
Besides, if he had mercy on her, he wouldn't let her go home safe and sound. He might dig her eyes, cut her tongue, or break her arms or legs. She couldn't go back with the threat that she might expose him. Amber thought of that, her heart sinking. Her eyes were full of despair.
She realized that it would be highly possible for her to end up that way. Even Cole and others would try their best to save her.
She was worried this man had already killed her when they found her.
What should she do?
Amber bit her lower lip, tears welling up in her eyes.
