Chapter 584
Chapter 584
After Silas mentioned that he came from the Moran family, the car suddenly halted.
Earle’s cars were chasing after them.
The driver was alarmed by what Silas said and anxiously looked back at the vehicles following them.
The Moran family was famous in the local area. If he offended the family, he would meet a terrible end.
Rutherford could tell that the driver was having second thoughts. He threatened, “What’s the matter? Are you afraid? Does the Moran family scare you? How about Mr. Bowman? Aren’t you afraid of him?”
The driver trembled at the thought of what Jonathan could do to him.
He couldn’t afford to offend either of those people!
Another man reasoned, “Besides, what the child said might not be true. As far as I know, Maurice doesn’t have a son.”
Mr. Bowman! Jonathan!
All of a sudden, a thought occurred to Adrian. “Are you referring to Jonathan Bowman?” he blurted out.
Rutherford ruffled Adrian’s hair with a slight smile on his face. In an ominous voice, he said, “Good boy. You’re right. I thought you would be happy to hear the news. I know you’ve missed Mr. Bowman.”
Jonathan was behind all of this!
Adrian’s eyes filled with tears at his words. Realization dawned on him.
Adrian blamed himself for what happened.
If he hadn’t texted Jonathan, they wouldn’t have gotten caught!
He didn’t expect Jonathan to go after him and his sister. Now even Silas was in danger.
If they went missing, Eliana would be worried!
Rutherford was still ruffling Adrian’s hair. Adrian felt nauseous. He made up his mind at that moment. Suddenly, he bit Rutherford firmly without hesitation.
“Ouch!”
Adrian latched onto Rutherford as hard as he could. Rutherford immediately withdrew his hand as he howled in pain.
“You brat!”
Rutherford rubbed his hand and glared at Adrian.
He was a man who was skilled at dealing with people from all works of life. Never in his life had he ever been hurt by a child. Anger simmered inside of him.
He lifted his hand and was about to lash out at the child when someone yelled, “Adrian!”
Aileen was about to pounce on Rutherford, but Silas got to him faster and bumped his head against Rutherford.
The movement came from nowhere, and Rutherford didn’t have time to dodge. His head spun, and his vision blurred.
“Damn it!”
Rutherford was infuriated. He was so furious that he turned his head towards the weakest child, which was Aileen.
As he was about to slap her, the car suddenly stopped.
Rutherford lost his balance and lurched forward. After that, Adrian and Silas held Aileen away from him.
“What the hell is going on?”
Rutherford raised his head with a murderous expression on his face.
“Shit! Rutherford, they’re coming after us!” The driver scrambled to start the car.
He wanted to drive the car away, but there was nowhere for them to go.
Their car was surrounded by Earle’s cars.
When Rutherford’s car halted, Earle stepped out of his Rolls-Royce and approached. There was an air of authority in him, and his eyes were fierce.
He slammed his cane against the window and shouted, “Open the door! Now!”
Silas was filled with hope when he saw Earle.
“You see that man out there? He’s my great-grandfather! There’s nowhere for you to go! Let us go now!”
As Rutherford gazed at the vehicles surrounding them, he realized that the child must have been telling the truth. Silas was a member of the Moran family!
“Rutherford… We’re… What should we do?”
The driver was so terrified that he couldn’t form coherent sentences.
Rutherford’s brows furrowed as he thought of a way to maneuver out of this sticky situation.
He earned a living by doing illegal things, and he couldn’t afford to get caught by the Moran family.
When the two sides reached a stalemate, Adrian spoke up. “I advise you to think about what you’ll do next. Jonathan even wanted to kidnap children. I don’t think he cares about his men. If you got caught, do you think he would go out of his way to save you?”

Silas immediately understood what Adrian was trying to do. He was trying to get Rutherford to turn against Jonathan. “The best thing for you to do is to let us go. If you let us leave the car, I can persuade my great-grandfather to let you go.”
Rutherford gazed out the window and knew he couldn’t take the twins today.
Silas had provided him with a way to escape.
Rutherford suddenly looked down at the three children inside the car and came to a conclusion. The best thing for him was to let them go and attempt to run away.
However, he wasn’t sure if his plan would work.
He didn’t think the Moran family would let him go without paying the consequences.
