Chapter 470 - CRITICAL

Alex was stupefied and he fell on the floor from shock and fear. It was fear for the life of his daughter and grandson. Travis wasn't surprise to see them but he was confused why Alex was looking at him like he was some kind of vicious ghost.

"Dad? Get up there." Travis helped him up but Alex was unmoving as he pointed his trembling fingers at him. His mouth was gaping open and close, open and close but there was no single word that came out.

It took almost a minute before a sound came out from his mouth. "Y-you..you..how..this.."Alex's eyes was restless and he couldn't seem to form any proper statement. Shein also approached him and helped him stand on his feet. "Why are you here?" Alex asked which confused both Shein and Travis.

"We were on our way home but an incident occurred causing us to have a flat tire. The driver had to change the tire which took a little while. My phone ran out of battery life so, I couldn't contact Jillyanna. She called Shein but he was also talking to a business partner thus; he sent a message to her. When he wanted to answer her, the call ended. He tried calling her back but his call wasn't coming thru." Travis recounted the event that caused their delay of arrival. "Someone placed a jamming device at the back of the car and activated it when the driver was changing the tire. It is clearly a planned accident. Top contacted the driver and informed us about the incident at home. Instead of going back, we change our route to this hospital instead."

Listening to the narration, Alex felt his throat constricted. They all knew how risky his daughter's pregnancy was and it was used against her. It wasn't because Jillyanna wasn't smart she got easily tricked but everything just coincides with the event, leading her to the edge of her fear and anxiety.

Alex fished out the phone of his daughter which he brought with him and showed the content to Travis. "This is what caused the incident."

Lucian and Shein who were on the side also checked what was on the phone and their expressions changed the moment they saw what it was. On the photo, a man was tied on a chair. His feet and hands were bound by a rope and he was messy with blood and bruises all over him. It was none other than Travis himself. Or should we say, the fake Travis.

Ryden couldn't show himself up for the time being since he was among the high priced wanted criminal. His face was all over the internet and there were many posters of his face on the city walls, light posts, restaurant's bulletin, internet café; and other establishments. If he showed up, it wouldn't take a minute for the police force to capture him.

Since that was the case, he changed his tactic. He found out the risky condition of Jillyanna's pregnancy. He also knew about her critical CHD. In the end, he stayed low and planned his most-awaited revenge. From Jillyanna's house, he asked someone to monitor the place and check anyone who would come; helper, gardener, guards; anyone who would come to the place should be followed.

First, it was the police officers who came to check the mess he created when he ambushed Walter and his men. The next day, no one came as if the house had been abandoned. Another day had passed and there wasn't anyone who came to check the house again. Ryden asked his men to withdrew and stationed them to Venus Plaza.

He managed to find photos of Jillyanna in the social media and saw the young and weak man among her group. Who else could it be other than Shien? From monitoring the house, the changed course and monitored Shein. At first it was just Shein who came to work. Later on, they found Travis was coming to work as well.

"Boss, our hard work is finally paid off. You can finally ruin them." One of his men exclaimed with a wide smile on his face. He was sending photos to Ryden about his findings.

"Follow them wherever they go. Let us see where that bitch is hiding."

"Yes boss."

After following them for couple of days, they finally noticed that Travis was going home to heavily guarded house. They didn't know who owned the house so they observed the place for another two days. The figured that it was where Jillyanna lived before getting married. They also noticed that Travis would always go home using the same road every single day. Therefore, an evil plan was instantly created by Ryden.

He looked for a man with the same body building as Travis, asked his men to check and see what kind of clothes was worn by Travis that day and hired a professional make up and cosmetic artist. They paid the man a hefty sum of money to cooperate with them and the same thing for the make-up artist.

They let the man change his clothes into the ones that had the same style and brand as Travis, let him sit on the wooden and dirty chair and they tied his feet and his hands with a rope. The make up artist tousled his hair into a mess and put on some red liquid as if he was dripping blood. They also made some cosmetics make-up and formed some small wounds and gashes on his face, on his exposed neck, and on his arms.

The make-up artist was really professional and she even made some bruises on the face and wounded the lips. The blood was some red liquid that she mixed herself. After making sure that Jillyanna wouldn't be able to tell that it was a fake Travis, the took a picture of the man.

Around five-thirty in the afternoon, one of Ryden's men placed a jamming device at the back of the car, right below the trunk where no one can see it. Even if Travis' phone didn't run out of battery, they would still make sure that Jillyanna can't reach them. They even placed some sharp nails on the road where Travis used to travel to burst his car tires. They didn't care if other drivers will fall victim on them.

Ryden might have been stupid and crazy but he was still able to do something to win against Jillyanna. She fell victim on his trap and was currently in a critical condition; in a brink of miscarriage and death.
