The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 26

Woah!

The whole crowd was in an uproar, but Grandmother Lyndon’s decision was final and nobody dared to refute.

After all, she favored William and a sentence from him was sufficient to let her make a decision.

Under the help of the clan’s financial director, Wentworth then excitedly transferred Lyndon clan’s family fund of 400 million into his account.

***

Donghai City Grandioso Community.

Several police cars were parked at the entrance of the community, dozens of policemen rushed down and surrounded Ashton’s house!

This was a single-story house, and now it was fully surrounded by them.

Unexpectedly, a policewoman up in front was leading the team. Her loose police uniform could not cover her amazing figure.

“Madam Castello, what should we do next?” A petty police officer walked over and asked.

Megan Castello looked around the surroundings. They had received an emergency call not long ago and the caller had tapped through the screen non-stop, it was obvious that it was a kidnapping case. She checked the caller’s phone number and found that the number’s owner was Lily Lyndon, and she owned a company named Neptunus Corporation.

Megan was the captain of the police criminal investigation team. It was cases like these where she has to lead the team herself.

“Put up the cordon, and get the loudspeaker,” ordered Megan. “Go and investigate this Lily Lyndon, check whether she has any family members, and call them to come over quickly.”

“Yes, Madam Castello,” the police officer nodded and passed over the loudspeaker.

Ashton was in the room with a video recorder in his hand, he had thought it through and planned to record the whole process. If Lily and Samantha were to get agitated, he would use the recording to threaten them.

However, this awful video recorder was given by someone and Ashton did not know how to operate it. Some time had passed and by the time he finally figured out how to operate it, a woman’s voice was heard from outside the windows.

“People inside the house, listen carefully, release the hostage, and let us settle this in peace.”

Ashton trembled all over. He crouched down and crawled to the door and peeked out. What he saw made his hair stood on end!

Dozens of policemen could be seen surrounding the house. There was no escape.

“You motherf*ckers, both of you!” Ashton’s heart pounded as he pointed angrily at Lily and Samantha. He should have kept their phones!

Nevertheless, it was too late to do anything now!

He might as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb. Ashton took out a dagger and held it against Lily’s neck.

“Just you f*cking wait! I’ll take you all with me if I die today!”

Ashton shouted as he moved toward the windows, “All of you leave at once, leave! Otherwise, I’ll do it! Leave now!”

Outside the window, a police officer ran toward Megan.

“Madam Castello, the guy inside seems to be agitated and he is holding them hostage. What do we do now?” This officer was sweating profusely as he spoke to Megan.

Megan was anxious too! There were too many trees around, the snipers could not aim properly.

More and more onlookers were crowding around the area.

Suddenly, a voice was heard.

“Ashton, release them. I’ll go in and be your hostage.”

Everybody was shocked for a moment. They turned toward the voice and looked!

An electric bike arrived slowly. Darryl stopped the vehicle and spoke toward the windows.

“No, you can’t!” Megan went over quickly and forbade, “Are you the hostages’ family member? You can’t go in, it’s too dangerous inside, you…”

“Ashton, do you hear me?”

Darryl seemed like he did not hear what Megan said to him. He looked at Ashton and said, “Look at you being a man, what are you doing kidnapping two women?”

In the room, Lily felt a warm feeling in her heart. Her eyes were a little red as she saw Darryl on his electric bike. Right off it was not clear what she was thinking, but she shouted, “Darryl, don’t be silly! Leave quickly!”

“Lily, what nonsense are you saying!” Samantha got mad immediately, she exclaimed loudly, “That piece of trash is willing to be hostage, why are you stopping him?! Let him in to replace us, then we can leave!”
