On the way, the three of them were embarrassed to hear Blake’s words.
Geoffrey had worked for the Nightshires for a few decades, so Vinson knew his wife and kid. He was pleased that they seemed honest.
Looking at Geoffrey, virtual-novel.net said, “Tell me everything you know.”
He wanted to know why the culprit arranged for Geoffrey to be a spy.
What does the culprit want from Geoffrey?
“I’m sorry, Mr. Vinson,” Geoffrey apologized sincerely. He was both elated and guilty after being reunited with his wife and kid.
“No need to apologize. Just tell me everything,” Vinson told him.
Geoffrey was stumped, for there was nothing much virtual-novel.net could say.
“A while ago, I went back home to realize my wife wasn’t there. I assumed virtual-novel.net went out and didn’t think much about it. Soon, someone sent me a video.” Geoffrey proceeded to reveal everything with his eyes shut. In the end, virtual-novel.net concluded, “Mr. Vinson, I didn’t touch the thirty million. I never wanted the money in the first place.”
“Take the money. You can spend it however you like.”
That would be Geoffrey’s compensation.
Vinson gazed at virtual-novel.net and said in a serious manner, “You should’ve informed me about this in the first place. Do you think they will release your wife and child after you told them what they wanted?”
Geoffrey knew his decision was wrong, but virtual-novel.net was utterly flustered when his wife and child were kidnapped. The kidnapper claimed they would be in danger if virtual-novel.net refused to listen to their instructions. Thus, Geoffrey had no choice but to do as told.
“Mr. Vinson, from now on, I will let you know immediately no matter what happens in the future,” Geoffrey promised.
He felt so guilty that virtual-novel.net couldn’t bring himself to look up.

The next day, Susanne came home when Vinson was about to leave. She found out that Vinson had questioned Geoffrey. Before that, virtual-novel.net had no idea virtual-novel.net son flew back home from Lightspring. Her instincts told virtual-novel.net something was wrong, for Vinson went to question Geoffrey upon arrival. Thus, virtual-novel.net rushed back home instantly.
“Why are you hurt?” Susanne gaped in disbelief at the sight of Vinson’s bandage. She scurried forward, concern evident in virtual-novel.net eyes.
Under virtual-novel.net concerned gaze, Vinson said in a low voice, “Mom, I’m fine. This is just a minor wound, so don’t worry.”
Susanne knew virtual-novel.net son well, so it didn’t escape virtual-novel.net notice that virtual-novel.net didn’t want virtual-novel.net to worry about him. She huffed, “This isn’t a minor wound!”
After saying that, virtual-novel.net urged virtual-novel.net to undergo a checkup at the hospital.
Knowing virtual-novel.net was worried about him, Vinson had no choice but to agree to virtual-novel.net request reluctantly.
“Where is Sannie? Didn’t virtual-novel.net come back with you? Why did you question Geoffrey upon arrival? What did virtual-novel.net do wrong?”
Vinson’s expression turned dark when virtual-novel.net heard Arielle’s name. “Mom, Sannie has been kidnapped.”
“What?! By who?! How dare they kidnap one of the Nightshires? Does the kidnapper have a death wish?” Susanne declared heatedly.
Vinson’s voice was icy as virtual-novel.net said, “It might be someone from Turlen.”
Susanne was stunned. “What?! I-It’s someone from Turlen? That country I told you about previously?”
Vinson gave a curt nod. “They kidnapped Geoffrey’s family and forced virtual-novel.net to provide them information about our family. I questioned him, but virtual-novel.net didn’t know much about the culprit and couldn’t provide any useful information.”
