Chapter 1508
"You don't need to give me anything. Just don't hurt my family. That's my only request," Caden said firmly.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
The masked man let out a low chuckle. "Someone who doesn't love money or power? How rare."
Caden's expression remained impassive. "Just promise me this, and from now on, don't come looking for me. I won't help you with anything again."
The masked man clearly had no intention of letting Caden off so easily.
In the next moment, he slid a list across the table. "Get these people released for me, or I'll expose how you framed a top lawyer. What do you think? Will the public forgive you? Will the government?" Jamie, recording everything from the side, was satisfied with what she had captured. She turned to leave quietly, but before she could slip out, Caden spotted her.
"Jamie? What are you doing here?"
The masked man's gaze turned icy.
Jamie reacted quickly and bolted for the door, running as fast as she could.
She didn't know how she had ended up in the middle of Caden's dealings, but one thing was clear. Ben was being framed, and she couldn't stand by and do nothing. Caden moved to chase her, but the masked man stopped him.
Calmly sipping his tea, the man sneered, "Haven't you heard the saying? You can run, but you can't hide."
Caden hesitated, unsure of the meaning until the masked man's tone grew colder. "Jamie has a son, doesn't she?"
The implication was enough to freeze Caden in his tracks.
The masked man pulled out his phone and made a call. "Head to the hospital and make sure you have Jamie's kid under control."
Caden hadn't wanted to involve anyone else, but at this point, he couldn't let Jamie expose what she'd overheard.
Meanwhile, Jamie's first instinct after securing the recording was to seek out Mrs. Lucas. But the masked man moved faster.
When Jamie heard Charlie's terrified cries through her phone, she knew she was trapped.
Her voice cracked as she pleaded, "I swear I'll keep quiet. Just don't hurt my son!"
The masked man's voice came through, mocking. "And how do
know you're telling the truth?/net

BUMS
do this. I'll take care of your now."
Before Jamie could respond, the call ended.
Her heart sank. These people were ruthless. There was no way they would actually take care of her son.
Left with no other option, Jamie rushed to Mrs. Lucas's home once again.
When Mrs. Lucas saw her, her expression turned even colder. "Why are you here again? The Lucas family isn't a shelter for strays!"
Jamie fell to her knees with a loud thud and began bowing repeatedly. "Mrs. Lucas, I'm not here to beg for anything for myself. I have critical evidence that can clear Ben's name. Please, I'm begging you to help me." ,
To prove her sincerity, Jamie played the recording she had just captured.
But before Mrs. Lucas could react, a notification appeared on Jamie's phone. It was a video.
Her hands trembled as she opened it, revealing footage of Charlie crying and screaming. In the video, a man helda knife, poised to strike
sie's hand.
A text message followed immediately after. "Miss Lewis, do I really need to tell you what to do?"
Jamie's entire body shook uncontrollably. She had never felt so cold or so terrified.
Her only hope now was Mrs. Lucas.
"Mrs. Lucas, you heard it. Ben is innocent, and my son is innocent too. Please... help me..." Jamie's voice cracked, filled with desperation.
