Chapter 309

bad? Haven’t you always taught me to be a good person? How could you do this? You’re not my dad, I
don’t want a bad dad like you…”
“Don’t you dare talk to your father like that!”
Behind the little boy, a plainly dressed woman walked in, scolding the child before looking at her
husband with a pained expression,

matters…”
“Yes, we’re safe now, we’ve been rescued!” With teary eyes, the woman leaned into her husband’s
shoulder, “But Zach, why are you so foolish? You got laid off from the company and didn’t tell me,
working odd jobs all this time on your own, and even got used to do those nasty things! You need to tell
the truth to the police, we can still hope for leniency!”
“I was wrong, as long as you and the kid are okay, I’ve got nothing to worry about!”

to the police, “Officers, I want to tell the truth! The reason I pleaded guilty before was because my wife
and son were kidnapped and someone threatened me to say so!”
The cops were taken aback!
“What? Who kidnapped your wife and child?”

One of the cops frowned cautiously, “Zachary, are you sure you want to retract your confession now? If
you lie again, the consequences will be severe!”
