The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2612
Elton had made up his mind, and not without a personal agenda.
By saving his own daughter and potentially safeguarding Balfour's future, he was
ensuring his girls wouldn't have to worry about their lives ahead.
Ever since his wife passed away, he'd been fretting over his ability to raise his
two daughters properly. Now that they had grown up fine, it was a shame that he
might not be there to see them through the rest of their journey.
From the moment he learned about the powerful Howard family backing Balfour,
Elton was resolute. If push came to shove, he'd sacrifice his life for his daughters’
futures.
“Dad, stop scaring me. Can't we just sneak out the back window together? I'm
scared without you. Don't do this. Don't leave me. Mara and I still need you,”
Victoria pleaded, sensing the tragic turn their situation was t taking.
She couldn't accept it. Why couldn't they all three escape together? Why did one
have to
be the sacrificial lamb?
“Victoria's a mess right now, I think she needs you by her side. That settles it, I'll
draw those thugs away,” Balfour said with conviction. But as soon as Victoria
heard him, she looked at him, her face etched with worry. “Why do one of you
have to wake the beast? They're all asleep. Can't we just quietly slip away?”
Things weren't as simple as Victoria imagined.
While scouting the rear window, Elton saw the vast cornfields that stretched to
the horizon, making them easy targets.
Without someone upfront drawing the kidnappers’ attention, they'd be caught in
no time.
And the one who served as the distraction was sure to become the sacrificial
lamb.
“No, no, let's not run. We'll just wait for the police to rescue us. I won't run!”
Victoria curled up, not wanting to face the reality, but Elton solemnly held her
face, “Look at me, Victoria. Listen to your dad. Do you want all three of us to die
here?”
Victoria shook her head without thinking.
“So, listen to me and Balfour. I'll distract the kidnappers, and you and Balfour run
for it without looking back. We don’t know when the police will find us. Waiting is
signing our death warrant. Even if something happens to me, don't turn back.
Because I love you, and I never want my girl to be hurt. I wish I could be there as
you and Mara grow up, but parting is a lesson you must learn in life. Today's your
lesson. This is the last thing I cant teach you.”
With a bitter smile, Victoria's tears flowed freely.
