Dempsey knew that his brother was very angry, and he was also very angry. He felt that April Jones was a woman with no trust in her. And he himself was truly too merciful. He felt that she had a good attitude of confession, so he tolerated her.

Perhaps a woman as sinful as she was not worth being forgiven or pitied at all.

"Let's replace her first!" Edwards said in a heavy voice.

"Brother, there's one more thing, Elizabeth is also gone. I can't contact her!" Although he felt that saying such words made him feel humiliated and defeated, he had no choice but to say them now.

"Why is she gone? Could she have escaped together with April Jones?" Shock flashed across Edwards's face. He had always thought that since Elizabeth and her brother's relationship was stable, she wouldn't do such a heartless thing.

"I don't know. I can't replace her!" Joshua's tone was full of frustration and anger, "If she really joined hands with April Jones to deceive me, I won't let her off."

Edwards heard his brother gritting his teeth, and even the sound of his heart collapsing.

He comforted him, "Josh, don't think too much into it. Maybe they didn't join hands and escaped, so you should look for Elizabeth instead."

"Um, I'll look around!" Joshua also believed that Elizabeth did not have the guts to betray him.

Joshua also didn't know where he got his confidence from, but he believed that Elizabeth wouldn't lie to him. She really liked him. Her eyes couldn't lie to anyone.

April Jones thought of a way to escape from the hospital. The first thing she did was to take out her phone and give John Wayne a call.

Her hands were shaking as she punched in the numbers, scared and desperate.

The phone was unplugged, and John Wayne's familiar voice came out: "Who is it?"

"John Wayne, did you kidnap Eliza? Let her go. What are you trying to do? We've ended our grudges, so don't you dare hurt her." April Jones growled angrily into her phone, she was about to lose her mind. "Anna Jones, oh, that's not right. You're April Jones now, weren't you hiding from me all this while? Why did you suddenly call me?" John Wayne laughed coldly.

"You old turd, what are you trying to do? I'm warning you, don't act recklessly, hurry up and let Eliza go!" April gritted her teeth as she shouted in anger. "Did you tell what happened to us back then to the two brothers, Edwards and Joshua?" John Wayne's voice turned cold as he asked sarcastically.

"I didn't!" April Jones immediately denied it. "Like I said, I will take all of the secrets with me into the ground."

"You swore so, but how do I know you didn't?" John Wayne smiled coldly, as he did not trust her at all.

"If I really did say it, would the people of Wayne Family let me go? Use your brain to think!" April Jones said hatefully.

"April Jones, do you really think I'm stupid? Your daughter is now Joshua's girlfriend, so of course something would not happen if she were to plead with Joshua!" John Wayne was like an old cunning fox who could see through everything.

April Jones's panicked face turned white, she held onto her phone tightly, even her breathing had stopped from fright. "What are you trying to do? Do you want me to die? Okay, I will go and die now, I will look for a building now if you let Eliza go. As long as you let her go, I will die for you!"

"April Jones, you betrayed me, and the traitors will have to pay the price, do you understand?" John Wayne growled in anger. It was clear that he had already suspected that April Jones had confessed her crimes, so the reason Wayne Family did not send her to the police station was because Edwards was waiting for the right moment. When the time came, he would beat him up, and she would naturally use this evidence to convict him..

"What do you want of me? John Wayne, don't you dare go too far!" Elizabeth growled angrily into her phone, like a madman, her face distorted.

"I want you to turn yourself in to the Police station and admit that you killed Leonard Wayne alone!" John Wayne coldly requested.

"Okay, if I turn myself in, would you let Eliza go?" April Jones already had nothing to live for, no matter what she had to do, she was willing, and only hoped that her daughter would return safely.

"Of course it's not enough. I still need you to tell Joshua that Elizabeth is your daughter, and the reason why you told the lie from before is for the sake of your daughter's future." John Wayne said coldly. "What? You can't do this, Eliza is not my daughter..."

"You told me yourself that year, could it be that you're lying? No matter if it's true or not, you have to tell Joshua about this matter. Whether it's true or not, Joshua will verify it himself!" April Jones's entire body froze into a rock. Her body couldn't help but to tremble uncontrollably.

"You are truly a demon. If you want me to confess, I will go. If you want my life, I will give it to you. However, you cannot destroy my daughter's future. You cannot!" April Jones painfully roared, scaring all the passersby, and all of them kept their distance from her, treating her like a mental patient.

"Is your daughter's future more important, or is her life more important? You should think about it for yourself!" John Wayne didn't want to argue with her for too long. He believed that this woman would definitely give him the result he wanted.

"Wait a moment, I promise you!" April Jones finally gave in. Her daughter's life was more important than anything.

"Alright, on the side of the Wayne Family, I have spies, so don't play any tricks on me. If I were to replace out that you dare to think about other things, your daughter will definitely lose her life. Such a pretty girl died too miserably, it would be a heartbreaking event." John Wayne said with a leisurely tone.

"Don't touch her. Otherwise, I'll fight you to the death!" At this moment, April Jones did not know what she could say to threaten him. She could only choose to believe in this demon again.

"Don't worry. I won't do anything to her. On account of our friendship, as long as you agree to my conditions, I will let her return safely!" John Wayne laughed coldly.

After hanging up the phone, April Jones sat on the street alone like a madman. Her face was dull and her eyes were empty.

Suddenly, she saw a river nearby. She quickly walked over and threw her phone into the river. The reason for doing this was to avoid any more trouble, she had already decided to follow John Wayne's orders. But she left her phone behind, if the people from Wayne Family were to replace out, it would endanger her daughter's life.

She didn't dare to gamble, and she couldn't afford to.

"Hey, April Jones, what are you doing?" Just as April Jones was standing by the river, the bodyguard who ran out to replace her suddenly saw her.

April Jones looked at the two bodyguards who were running around frantically. She felt that she had done something terrible, and apologized to them numbly: "Sorry!"

"I say, you, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly run away?"

April Jones's eyes were empty, and in the end, she taunted: "I'm afraid, I want to escape!"

"Why are you afraid?"

"I killed someone!" April Jones said calmly.
