The human trafficker who was driving let out a sneer of disdain despite himself.
Alexander had been originally sad, but when he heard her say this, he couldn't help but be amused.
"Your brother played a joke on you," he said with a chuckle.
"Bad brother! He's as bad as my dad..." Heather pouted angrily. But soon, she remembered that her duty was to divert the human trafficker's attention, so she hastily continued, "And then?"
"My mom was very stubborn. When she got pregnant, she insisted on marrying Gary Christopher. My granddad and uncle had no choice but to agree, but they cut ties with my mom and said they would never help Gary Christopher."
His eyes flashed with a touch of gloom as he continued, "Gary was still hopeful in the heart. He always thought my granddad and uncle wouldn't be so cruel. But my granddad and mom were both very stubborn. Neither of them would give in first.
"Later, Gary lost his patience and cold-shouldered my mom and me all day long. He even said some harsh words. Even though his career was getting better, he was still unwilling to be nice to us. Then..."
A flash of pain flashed across his eyes.
"Alex," said Heather, placing her chubby little hand on his knee, "if you don't want to talk, you can stop."
"Thank you for listening to me, Heather, but I think I feel better after talking about it," he said, taking a deep breath. "My mom died of illness a few months ago, but he didn't come to the funeral. Instead, I called him a murderer on the spur of the moment, so he scolded me for being useless.
"He said that my uncle and grandpa refused to help him, if they had given him at hand, he would have been kind to my mom, so my grandpa and uncle caused my mom's death. It was very foolish of me to believe him at that time. So when my uncle came to fetch me, I didn't want to leave with him..."
"Ho-ho!" the human trafficker sneered. He had been keeping a close eye on them, but when he heard them talking, he couldn't resist listening. The more he listened, the more interested he became, forgetting to watch the dangerous Alexander.
He couldn't help saying, "Your dad is a complete scum! He married your mom for your grandpa's money! But in the end, he didn't get the money, so of course, he turned against your mom! I even think he had something to do with your mom's death! He has a son as old as you. He must have been ready to retreat from the start. If you do go home to be his son, he'll definitely treat you like a dog!" Alexander's fingers tightened slightly.
He also wondered if Gary really had something to do with his mom's death. It was just that he was too young and weak to fight against Gary.
Uncle... A look of determination flitted across his eyes.
"Alex, don't be sad!" After listening, Heather comforted him. She was ignorant about many things, but she could feel his sadness in his heart. She put her little head on his knee and whispered, "It will pass. I'll stay with you."
He smiled softly. "Mm."
The car pulled up slowly.
A hint of dark light flashed across Alexander's eyes as he looked at the empty house outside.
"It's time," he thought.
The human trafficker got out of the driver's seat and opened the rear door. "Here we are. Get out."
On the way, the human trafficker had already let down his guard against them, so he had given Alexander a chance to steal the handy 'weapon' from the toolbox in the back.
The human trafficker felt a dull pain in his head. Then his eyes went black after he stared at Alexander in shock. "You, you..."
He fainted before he could finish the sentence.
"Ah!" Heather looked at the human trafficker in horror. "Is, is he dead?"
"No." Alexander used a hand to feel his breath. "He has just been knocked unconscious by me. Give me the rope, Heather."
"Oh, okay!" she said and quickly gave him the rope. He pulled the human trafficker into the car and directly tied him up.
Alexander was a just child, after all. His strength was limited. No sooner had they tied up the human trafficker than he woke up.
"You, you!" Looking at the tied rope on the body, the human trafficker was instantly surprised and angry!
A seven-year-old kid actually plotted against him! How was this possible?" He had thought Alexander was too clever, but no matter how clever he was, he was only a child! However, even the way they tied him up was very professional... It actually left him lying in the car, unable to move!
"Let me go! Or I'll kill you!" the human trafficker said furiously.
"Kill me?" Alexander sneered. "Show me how you can do that now."
With that, he fumbled in his clothes. Soon, he took a phone out of his pocket.
"You're smart enough to turn your phone off." Alexander pressed the power buŧŧon.
Looking at the fingerprint lock, he took the human trafficker's bound finger to unlock it.
"Heather, I'll call your brother first and ask him to pick you up..." he said softly.
But before he could finish the sentence, there was a sound of a speeding car.
Alexander's expression changed. He grabbed the fruit knife and put it on the human trafficker's neck. "Heather, get down!"
Heather hurried to lie down obediently.
Alexander's heart sank. Was it possible that the human trafficker accomplices had discovered they were missing and came after them quickly?
The human trafficker, who was lying on the ground, burst into laughter. "You didn't expect that, boy! My partners are coming for me! I'm telling you, if you let me go now, I may consider sparing your life!"
"Shut up!" Alexander said coldly. "I'll kill you if you speak again!"
With that, he added a little strength, and a trace of blood came out of the human trafficker's neck. The human trafficker's face changed, and he hastily closed his mouth.
It was only a seven-year-old kid with a knife pointed at him, but he was terrified
somehow! At that moment, he really felt that if he said one more word, Alexander would ally dare to kill him!
Several cars surrounded the old car. Then Simon and Shane Joseph got out.
"People in the car, listen up, if you want to live, you must let the kids go quickly!"
Hearing this cry, the three men's expressions in the car changed slightly.
Wasn't it the human trafficker's accomplices?
Alexander and Heather peeked out of the window before they both looked happy.
"Uncle Simon!"
"Uncle Shane!"
