Bang!

Heinz slapped the table next to him, and everyone was stunned.

Norman's face became even more solemn and pale.

"Are you going to tell me or not?" Heinz asked in a stern voice. "I'll give you only two minutes to think about it."

Norman pursed his lips and was deep in thought.

"Think about it carefully. If you're not willing to talk..." Heinz said and paused. He looked at the butler, who had the knife in his hand. One glance from Heinz was enough to make it clear that if Norman kept his silence, his tongue would be cut off.

There was a glimmer in Norman's eyes and he understood. He shivered with fear when he saw the knife in the butler's hand. He looked down hesitantly and shook his head.

"Mr. Jones, even if you cut my tongue off, this is all I can say because this is the truth." Norman sighed and said, "Mr. Jones, please have mercy. I'm a man with a family. Please don't force me. Do what you have to do!"

Heinz smiled coldly. No one was ever not afraid. It was just that they had not reached that final step.

It seemed like he was going to give this man a hard time. He glanced at the butler, indicating that he would carry out the act.

The butler nodded and said in a threatening tone, "Hold him! I'll do it myself. With just one cut, well save time and energy."

"Yes!" said the two bodyguards next to the butler as they immediately held Norman down.

The butler grabbed Norman's chin, and the knife glistened so brightly to a point that it was blinding.

Norman's eyes were full of fear. "Mr. Jones, please spare me."

Heinz leaned back and said lazily, "You refused the easy path, so this is your punishment."

Norman was horrified. At this moment, he looked at the knife in the butler's hand. It was terrifying. He was afraid that his tongue would be gone.

However, the days of living on the edge were always the same. Sooner or later, he knew he would have to pay the price.

He understood and closed his eyes. He immediately said, "I'm not afraid of my tongue getting cut off. I'm afraid that after I lose my tongue, my family will still be threatened. The old man threatened me with my child. If I can't do anything for him, he will kill my child!"

"Kill?" Heinz sneered. "Would that old man just kill like that?"

"It's true. Mr. Jones, you don't know how cruel and merciless he is." Norman felt a little awkward saying that.

He looked at Heinz and hesitated for a long while before saying, "He's indeed cruel and merciless."

Heinz's pupils dilated.

The old man had always been a cruel guy. He was cruel to everyone.

Norman was not lying. It seemed that he knew the old man very well.

Norman continued, "The old man can kill a baby in a cradle. I'm afraid that something bad will happen to my child. I just hope that my child will be fine."

"But now that you've exposed me, I don't know what to do. I can see that you and Miss Smith are not good folks. It's too much of them to ask you to raise their children, but I don't know what to do. I'm helpless."

Heinz looked at him coldly and said in a low voice, "What's the matter with your child?"

"The old man arranged for someone to kidnap my child. I was completely helpless." The bodyguard said with a bitter smile, "All I know is that the old man is very capable. Last time I didn't have the photo he requested of me, my son's photo was sent over immediately. It was taken at the school gate. I knew it was a warning."

"What about the infant?" Heinz asked in a deep voice.

"The infant was almost choked to death by the old man," Norman said. "Right before my eyes. It was another person's child."

"The child of a person who helped him?" Heinz asked.

Norman nodded and said, "Yes, the old man can threaten us with all his might. If we don't do what he asks of us, he would threaten our families."

"What else has he asked of you? Tell me everything," Heinz ordered in a deep voice.

The man nodded. "I came to the Jones family. I was just transferred here after the news broke out. I was assigned here just three months ago."

Heinz nodded. "Did you only just start reporting to him over the past few days? Has there been anything special?"

The bodyguard thought for a moment and said, "Old Mr. Jones seems to pay extra attention to Miss Smith's mother, and he loves her very much. Although they don't meet often, their relationship seems close. Mr. Jones would sometimes call Miss Smith's mother, and they would talk like a couple. He is gentle and sweet. Though I've only heard a few lines, I can tell that they're in a good relationship."

Heinz frowned and repeated, "A good relationship?"

Norman nodded and continued, "Mr. Jones is cruel to everyone, but he is particularly gentle with Miss Smith's mother. He is not gentle even with Lowell. However, Miss Smith's mother reveres Mr. Jones very much. It's as if they are a couple madly in love. She always looks at Mr. Jones with admiration, as if she is looking at the most powerful man in the world."

Heinz felt disgusted. Their age combined was more than a hundred years old. How could they still fall in love with each other? It was shameless and revolting of them to act this way when the two of them had their respective spouses.

Heinz's eyes were full of anger. Lawrence was capable of being so gentle to Grace's mother, but he had never been gentle to Heinz's own mother.

How could Candace, that woman, win the love of the old man?

He was so old, and yet he could still act so disgustingly. He even dumped the child on him and Grace to care for. The two old and indecent beings infuriated Heinz. He looked coldly at Norman and asked, "What else?"

"The old man seems to be short of money. Miss Smith's mother gave all her money to the old man, but I don't know the specific amount. It seems like due to the lack of cash, their lives are stretched beyond means. So they can't raise Lowell. What's more is that the old man is constantly traveling the world, so it isn't an ideal environment for Lowell to grow up in. Therefore, Miss Smith's mother wants you to raise the child."

Heinz narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you know Henry then?"
