Chapter 240 Suffer
“Nanc y, if one day you find out that I am not as simple as you think, and I can even be regarded as a
bad guy. Will you Will you forgive me?”
Cordell held the phone and asked tentatively.
“Why did you ask that? You are indeed not a good guy!”
Nancy then said in a sharp tone, “However, it depends on what kind of evil things you have done. If you
cheat on me, I will consider forgiving you if it’s not that serious. But if you hurt my friend, then I will never
forgive you. In my heart, Shirley will always be the first, surpassing anyone. So once you harm her, you
and I will be finished. Do you understand?”
In Nancy and Ewan’s hearts, Shirley was not only a confidant but also the benefactor who gave them a
second life. They would do their best to protect Shirley.
After hearing what Nancy said, Cordell froze. He was silent for a long time before he said with difficulty,
“Well,
I see. I also know what to do.”
Nancy was confused. “What the hell are you talking about? What do you mean? Will you go to your
friend for
help?”
“Nancy, I’m sorry. I can’t help you with this. If you want to break up with me because of this, then I’ll
accept
that.”
Cordell’s eyes were red, and tears were swirling in them. Then Cordell said with a painful expression, “I
am a bad guy and an idiot. I deserve to suffer a miserable death, but I never regret meeting you or falling
in love with you. Thank you for saving me. I love you, Nancy. Goodbye!”
“Cordell, you…”
Cordell hung up the phone. His handsome and refined face was already covered in tears.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn fact, from Nancy’s words, it was not hard to know that if Cordell confessed everything at this time and
sent Bennett back to Shirley, he might be able to get back together with Nancy, but if he chose to send
Bennett to the Crimson Pawnshop, then he and Nancy would be completely finished.
Cordell loved Nancy very much. Of course, he could not bear to break up with her. But now compared to
that, Cordell was more worried that Nancy would be implicated by him and suffer revenge from the owner
of the
Crimson Pawnshop, Mr. Quintin.
Therefore, Cordell would rather break up than take the risk.
“I’m sorry, little fellow. I do not want to hurt you, but if I don’t do that, my beloved woman will be hurt. I
hope
Mr. Quintin wants you just because he likes you.”
Cordell looked back at Bennett and said with an apologetic tone.
Cordell knew he was an evil person, so he had already thought of a way to atone for his sins. When
Cordell
successfully sent Bennett to the Crimson Pawnshop, he would take all the punishment he deserved.
The car drove slowly and arrived at a service area.
Cordell felt down and decided to get out of the car to refresh himself and smoke a cigarette.
As Amelie said, Bennett was still asleep due to the sleeping pills.
However, when Cordell was far away, Bennett got up.
In fact, Bennett had already known that Amelie was a bad guy, so he was cautious, and he replaced the
glass
of milk which Amelie gave him. And he had been pretending to be asleep all the time.
Therefore, Bennett heard Amelie and Cordell’s conversation clearly. Bennett was very interested in the
owner of the Crimson Pawnshop they talked about and wanted to see him.
Bennett thought, if this person is very powerful, I can trick him to work for Mommy.
After all, Mommy has been working so hard these years. Even if Ewan gives Mummy a hand, not much
was shared. It will be easier for Mommy to have more helpers.
However, Amelie is so vicious. She not only hurt Mommy but also wanted to sell me. I won’t forgive her.
Bennett followed the original plan, quickly took out his phone watch, and called the police.
“Help! I was sold by a child trafficker named Amelie Nelson. She is now at the hotel. Please go and catch
her immediately and then find someone to save me. My name is Bennett Wilson, my mommy is Shirley
Wilson, and my daddy is Ewan Parker. Oh, no, the bad guy is coming back!”
After Bennett told the key information to the police, he hung up the phone in time and turned off the
positioning system of the phone watch to avoid being found too soon.
Moreover, when Bennett was brought away just now, he deliberately left his belongings in the hotel. So if
the police caught Amelie at this time, she would have a rough time.
Cordell returned to the car after smoking. When he found that the little fellow was still asleep, he could
not
help but sigh, “What a pity.”
Cordell filled the car with gas and sped up.
The Sutor Wharf at midnight was even more lively and brighter than during the day.
Common people would not dare to casually step into this lawless area.
If one was not careful enough, it would be dragged away for his organs if it was a man, and as for a
woman,
she would be dragged away to be a prostitute. As for a fair, tender, and beautiful little boy like Bennett, if
he
hung around on the streets, he could be nowhere to be found.
Therefore, when Cordell drove all the way here, he was trembling in fear all over, including his feet.
Unfortunately, Cordell was still stopped by someone 1,640 feet away from the Crimson Pawnshop.
With a bang, Cordell suddenly had a flat tire. A one-eyed man walked over with a watermelon knife on
his shoulder. While chewing gum, the man said as he smirked, “Pretty boy, how dare you come to the
Sutor Wharf in the middle of the night? You sure have guts. There you go. You got a flat tire. Consider
yourself lucky to

have met me. ! can help you replace it.”
Cordell gripped the steering wheel tightly and said coldly, “No, thanks. I have a spare.’”
“How can your spare compare with my tire? This tire of mine is a pass to the Sutor Wharf. It can ensure
that you can freely move around the entire pier. Otherwise, you will get another flat tire soon.”
Obviously, Cordell’s tire was deliberately punctured by the nail chain the one-eyed man put on the road.
The one-eyed man aimed to brazenly ask for money.
Cordell didn’t bother to talk too much and asked, “How much is your tire?”
“That depends on what you have.”
The one-eyed man chewed on a piece of gum. Then he stretched his neck and looked into Cordell’s car
to see if there was anything valuable. Suddenly, the one-eyed man saw Bennett asleep in the back seat.
The man’s eyes immediately lit up. “I think this little boy is worth a lot, and he is just the right son for me.”
“That won’t do!”
Cordell gritted his teeth and said, “This boy has been booked. You’d better leave him alone. If you want
money, name a price!”
“Fuck, just give me the boy. Cut the crap!”
The one-eyed man slapped Cordell in the face, waved his watermelon knife, and shouted, “Now get out
of the car immediately. This little kid is mine. Otherwise… I will chop off your head!”
“No way!”
Cordell quickly rolled up the window and locked the car door. Then he stepped on the accelerator, trying
to drive the car to the Crimson Pawnshop with the power of the engine.
However, this one-eyed man was quite influential at the dock. He immediately ordered someone to block
Cordell’s way with a car and then hacked at the door with a knife. “Damn it! Get out here! I’ll chop off
your
head!”
“This…”
Cordell panicked. He did not expect the one-eyed man to be so unreasonable. Cordell thought, as
expected, this Sutor Wharf is as terrifying as hell. No wonder Amelie sent me here!
“Just step the accelerator and dash forward!”
In the back seat, Bennett could no longer take it. He got up and urged Cordell, who was dilly-dallying.
