Hubby 392
Chapter 392 Was Sylvester's Death Connected to the Hardisons?
They rushed frantically into the kids' bedroom-and there he was. A mercenary, holding a knife, had Shane and Jasper cornered.
Shane looked terrified as his eyes darted toward Sidney and Caden. "Caden... Sidney.....
But Jasper, ever the fearless little guy, was dangling in mid-air by the straps of his overalls, feet off the ground, and thought it was some kind of game. "Hechee! Flying! Wheee!"
Sidney's eyes narrowed in a cold glare. He warned that man. "This is Scaville. How dare you lay a finger on a Hardisons?"
The man wore a mask. His eyes betrayed no fear-this was someone hardened by chaos.
He glanced at Sidney, then looked straight at Charles. "We're not here to hurt the kids. We have no choice. Mr. Hardison, make it easy for everyone-just hand that man over."
Sidney's expression darkened. He turned to Charles.
Charles frowned too, not expecting Assad's crew to be this insane. He actually sent Don to track him down here.
This was the Hardisons' property. Sidney's territory. Was Assad out of his mind? Charles had thought staying with the Hardisons was his safest bet.
Apparently... not.
Sure, Assad ruled the underworld in Seaville, but the Hardisons had been legends in the black market back in the day. Even Assad wouldn't dare openly challenge them. Even the powerful figures behind Assad usually showed the Hardisons some respect.
Now, kidnapping their sole heir? That was crossing a line. There would be no going back from this.
"You've lost your damn mind! Put the kid down now!" Caden barked and lunged forward, ready to fight. Sidney caught his arm and stopped him.
"Mr. Hardison,” Don said arrogantly, "we wouldn't have come if we were afraid of your family. But we still respect you. Your grandfather walked away from all this years ago. It hasn't been easy keeping your family out of trouble since then; we're asking politely here-no need to ruin that peace over a stranger."
Sidney's dark eyes bored into Don. "Are you threatening me? You think you matter? If either of those boys loses a single hair, none of you are walking out of here alive."
"Don't listen to his garbage, Sidney! Charles is family!" Caden snapped, stepping in front of Charles protectively, glaring at Don. “The cops are already on their way. Let the kid go now while you still can."
Charles looked at Caden, his heart soured.
He'd never imagined someone would stand in front of him like that.
Zev had warned him-he'd only bring trouble to Caden. Maybe this was the moment to leave.
"Looks like this ends with burned bridges," Don muttered coldly, pressing the blade closer to Shane's neck.

"Wait!" Charles stepped forward, brows furrowed, locking eyes with Don-then turning to Caden.

"I only got close to you to stay hidden from these people. Your family is the safest place I could find. I thought they wouldn't dare make a move here." Charles's voice dropped. "But if Assad's this desperate, it means he's getting ready to run. That's why he's willing to go this far."
Time was running out; his mission had reached the critical point.
Charles knew what awaited him once he was taken. There would be no return. But he had no choice- Assad's crimes weren't fully exposed yet. He was responsible for the disappearance of numerous individuals and the loss of numerous lives abroad, and his actions were crucial.noveldrama
"What nonsense is this?" Caden yelled. "I'm not letting you go with them!"
"That's your son," Charles said softly. He stepped forward and met Don's eyes. "Let the kids go. I'll come with you."
Don shoved Shane toward Caden and grabbed only Jasper this time. His men restrained Charles and dragged him toward the door.
With Jasper in Don's arms, no one dared to make a move.
Jasper was just a baby. He wouldn't survive if the fight broke out.
"Jasper, it's okay. Don't be afraid," Sidney whispered, trying to soothe the boy even as his heart felt like it might burst,
Jasper, clueless to the danger, kept grinning like it was all a game.
Shane clung tightly to Caden in fear, his voice trembling. "Daddy, I want Jasper."
Caden tapped his back gently and soothed the boy. "It's okay. They won't hurt him. I promise."
Don's men shoved Charles into the back of the car, then carelessly tossed Jasper out the door.
Sidney darted forward, catching the child just in time, then snapped at his men. "Stop that car!"
Don, seated in the passenger seat, looked back at Sidney with a smirk. "Mr. Hardison, you sure your old man would want the truth about the Sylvester kidnapping to come out?"
Sidney froze, then raised his hand abruptly. "Stand down. Don't intercept them."
Don chuckled coldly and then locked eyes with Caden. "Better keep your brother on a tight leash. If this turns into an all-out war, don't expect anyone to play nice."
"Charles! Get out of the car!" Caden shouted after them, voice shaking.
He knew Charles had the skills to break free-there was still time to save himself.
But Charles didn't move.
"Charles, you jerk!" Caden yelled, struggling against the guards holding him back. "Sidney! Do something! Don't let them take him!" But the car was already speeding away.
Caden bolted after it like a madman-but there was no chance of catching up.

By the time the police arrived, Caden stood there, shaking, eyes fixed on Sidney. "Who was that guy? And what did he mean about Sylvester's kidnapping?"
He was trembling now. Caden had never been this scared in his life.
Zev was his brother. He wondered if his father's death had any bearing on their family.
