Chapter 1837 You Did Not Betray Me
As the police were extremely efficient, the car and money were prepared in no time. Subsequently, Gaspar held the officer at gunpoint as he headed downstairs. Just when Gaspar was about to shove him into the car and escape, the hostage lowered his head and bit down ferociously on Gaspar’s hand.
When the pain forced Gaspar to loosen his grip, the officer tackled him to the side. Seizing upon the opportunity, the rest of the officers fired at Gaspar’s hand, causing him to drop the gun. Amid the chaos, the freed hostage scrambled for the gun and put a bullet in Gaspar’s leg. Only then did his subordinates surge forward to capture the latter.
Meanwhile, the gunshots naturally alerted Micah. The sight of Gaspar being led away by the police caused him to decide at once to return to the island with Abigail. However, the moment he opened the door, he was staring down the barrels of more than ten guns.
The police had received a report that a drug lord was hiding there. Hence, when they did find one, they immediately arrested Micah and Abigail.
As for Anna, little did she expect that her father, Abigail, and Gaspar would all be arrested on their trip to Chanaea. Out of the four of them, she was the only one left. Alone, there was no way she could save them even if she wanted to.
Initially, the police assumed that they had arrested one drug lord in Micah and were pleasantly surprised that Gaspar, too, was another one. Even though they were foreigners, Chanaea’s laws could still be enforced upon them.
Half a month later, both of them were sentenced to death.
Upon learning of Gaspar’s fate, Susanne—in spite of her recent brain surgery—insisted on seeing him in prison. Having failed to dissuade her, Vinson and Arielle had no choice but to give in to her request.
In truth, no visits were allowed, but Vinson pulled some strings for the rules to be bent.
When Susanne saw how much Gaspar resembled Vinson, the guilt she felt further intensified. If only he had grown up by Vinson’s father’s side, Gaspar wouldn’t have walked down the path of crime.
Prior to the visit, Gaspar was reluctant to meet them. However, he finally relented at the thought that it would be their final meeting.
When he saw how guilty and heartbroken Susanne was, the hatred that consumed him instantly faded away.
Susanne then picked up the prison phone to indicate her desire to speak to him.
After a brief hesitation, Gaspar put the phone to his ear.
“My child, your father and I have let you down…”
In truth, Gaspar had found out through his investigations that Susanne was unaware of what went on with his mother and father. Nonetheless, it didn’t stop him from channeling the hatred he harbored toward his father over abandoning his mother and him onto Susanne and Vinson.
Now that he was going to meet his parents soon, his animosity toward Susanne and Vinson naturally dissipated. What have they done wrong, really?
“You didn’t let me down,” Gaspar answered in a hoarse voice.
No sooner had he answered than Susanne broke down in tears. “Can we still get you out? Even if we sell Nightshire Group, can we do it? Perhaps we can change it to life imprisonment…”
With life imprisonment, there might still be hope.
Susanne’s sincere words triggered a flood of emotions within Gaspar. With reddened eyes, he knew he had passed the point of no return.
