"Sir," Adam Warren asked Marcus Jarvis, trembling, "since the mastermind has been let go, does that mean I can leave now?"
Marcus Jarvis didn't speak. His gaze fell upon Skylar Hayes. It was better for the mother and daughter to decide how to deal with Adam Warren.
When Adam Warren saw he wasn't speaking, he started to panic. "I was just an accomplice! Jean Jarvis was the mastermind, and she's fine! Aren't you going to let me go too? Or are you saying that since you let her go, you have to take it out on me? You... you can't do this..."
Marcus Jarvis frowned in disgust. "Even though you were only an accomplice, you still committed a crime. If we really did hand you over to the police, you'd have no one to blame but yourself."
"I... I..." Adam Warren grew even more frightened. 'If I'm really sent to the police station,' he thought, 'for rich people like them, arranging to have me killed in prison to avenge Skylar Hayes and Clara Grant would be as easy as saying a word, right?'
