Upon a gentle click, the content of the email came into view.

They were all photos of Iris.

In the first photo, Iris was blue in the face, curling up into a ball.

The second photo was a close-up shot of Iris's face. The old lady gritted her teeth and closed her eyes tightly. It seemed that she was enduring great pain.

In the third photo, only one arm was shown. There was no wound on it, but it was covered with blood.

Joanne knew that it was exactly Iris's arm.

She covered her mouth, and her tears poured out in an instant and fell pattering on the wireless keyboard.

Gavin felt that something was wrong. He looked up and saw Joanne's tears. He hurried over and asked, "What's wrong? Do you miss Aiden and Romy? Hey, shall I ask someone to send you back?"

"..." Joanne did not reply, and her tears were flowing more and more fiercely.

Gavin was somewhat confused.

Even if Joanne missed the two little kids, according to her character, she would not cry like this.

There must be something else!

Gavin walked behind Joanne and saw the content of the email, including the photo of the bloody arm. He could certainly recognize that it was Iris's arm.

Gavin's lips were compressed into a straight line. He clenched his fists, so that the blue veins on the back of his hands bulged, with the blood rushing in his blue veins and the flames of anger surging in his every pore.

"Bastard!"

Gavin squeezed out the word through his gritted teeth, and he smashed his fist down on the desk, making a "bang" sound.

Joanne covered her eyes with both hands, and her palms soon got wet by tears.

No matter if it was fifteen years ago or now, it was the Kang's family and Rowdy who should be punished. Rowdy's father committed crimes and should have been judged by the law.

But all of this had nothing to do with Iris.

How could Rowdy vent his anger on an old people in such a cruel way?

"Joanne," Gavin said in a sullen voice, "you get up. I have something to do."

Joanne did not know what Gavin was going to do, but she still stood up, gave her seat to Gavin, and then dried her tears.

At this time, she had more important things to do than to cry.

Although Gavin was angry, he still basically kept calm. As soon as he sat down, he began to trace the address of the email. Sure enough, he found that the gory email was indeed sent from the old house of the Kang's family in the old city area.

He had the screenshots and then backed up the email. They would be presented as evidence for them to sue Rowdy in the future.

In the end, Gavin looked at Joanne. "Do you want to contact Brian?"

Joanne covered her forehead and thought for two seconds. Finally, she shook her head and said, "Brian and Wesley should be busy now. If I contact him at this time, it will only disturb him. When he left in the morning, he said that he would come back in the afternoon. We'd better wait for him to come back."

Gavin nodded, "It's up to you."

Joanne put down her hands, quickly managed her own mood, and calmed down, "Gavin, let's get back to work."

When Brian came back and saw this email, he would definitely deal with Iris's matter first.

Joanne could only help him with some simple things to ease his burden.

Gavin turned off the email and said, "Let's leave these emails to Brian. We can deal with something else first."

Joanne knew that Gavin did not want her to see the photos of Iris's injury.

She nodded and sat down to deal with other things.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Brian and Wesley returned to the company's building. Brian looked less cold than he had been when he left in the morning.

Joanne subconsciously got up and walked up to Brian, "Is there any progress in Mom's matter?"

Brian held Joanne in his arms with one hand and kissed her on the forehead. "The location has been roughly determined. As long as we continue the investigation, we will soon be able to find Mom."

This was the first good news after Iris was kidnapped.

Joanne smiled, but before the smile reached the bottom of her eyes, she had remembered the email just now, and her eyes quickly reddened.

Brian immediately noticed Joanne's abnormality and looked at her, asking, "What's wrong?"

"..." Joanne opened her mouth, but her words were stuck in her throat. She could not tell Brian about the email at all.

Brian touched Joanne's head, and his voice became particularly gentle, "Do you want to go home?"

"..." Joanne shook her head, and her tears were about to flow out.

Brian frowned in confusion and asked again, "What the hell is going on?"

At this time, Gavin blurted out, "Brian, come here."

Brian walked over, and Gavin motioned for him to look at the computer.

On the computer screen was the email just sent from Rowdy, and those photos came into view.

The photo of the bloody arm directly stung Brian's eyes.

For a moment, anger burned up Brian's reason. He was almost eager to shoot Rowdy to death at all costs, and to let Rowdy be a thousand times more painful than his mother was now.

However, it was illegal and no different from Rowdy's behavior.

He had to keep calm.

Wesley also saw the content of the email. He clenched his fists in an instant and left the office with a sullen face.

Brian was afraid that Wesley would impulsively do something, so he gave Gavin a look and motioned for him to follow out.

Gavin nodded and kept up with Wesley closely.

Only Brian and Joanne were left in the office.

Just now, Joanne could barely keep herself from shedding tears.

But now, gazing at Brian, she suddenly could no longer hold back her tears. Her eyes were already full of tears, and she looked at Brian at a loss.

Rowdy had already begun to hurt Iris. If Iris continued staying with Rowdy, she did not know what torture the old lady would suffer.

Brian knew that Joanne was afraid, so he hugged her and said, "Don't cry. I will bring Mom back."

Joanne buried her face in Brian's arms and nodded.

At this time, she chose to believe in Brian.

Outside, Gavin followed Wesley into the elevator. He had thought that Wesley was going downstairs, but he found that Wesley pressed the button of the roof.

Brian's office was on the top floor, and the roof was just on the upper floor. In less than twenty seconds, the elevator door slowly opened.

Wesley walked out and hurried to the edge of the rooftop. He held the railing with both hands and looked at the towering buildings in the distance.

In contrast, Gavin was much more leisurely. He walked over unhurriedly and saw Wesley take out a cigarette and a lighter.

Wesley's movements of lighting the cigarette were very quick. He took a deep drag on the cigarette, and the smoke slowly came out and soon drifted away in the cold winter air.

Gavin walked over and stood side by side with Wesley, saying to express his dislike, "You're about to be a father, but you still smoke?"

Wesley held the strongly flavored cigarette and said lightly, "It doesn't matter. Yuna is not here."

After a while, Gavin said, "Brian and Joanne won't blame you."

"I know," Wesley took another drag on his cigarette, "that's why I..."

Before Wesley could finish his words, Gavin had patted him on the shoulder and interrupted, "Don't think about it. Yuna is already pregnant. Aunt Iris won't allow you to send Yuna back, let alone Brian and Joanne."

Wesley said, "I can't watch Aunt Iris be tortured."

Gavin paused for a moment and then realized that Wesley was implying something else by saying so.

He was about to ask Wesley what he was going to do when he saw Wesley take out his mobile phone and make a call.

Without asking, Gavin could guess that Wesley was going to contact Rowdy.

Sure enough, after the call was answered, Wesley called Rowdy's name.

"Rowdy."

Wesley's voice was cold and gloomy, as if it came from the depths of hell in the late winter.

Rowdy seemed to have guessed that Wesley would contact him. Before speaking, he laughed, with his voice full of complacency in controlling everything, "Well, have you finally received my email?"

Wesley did not mention Rowdy hurting Iris. He just said, "How about we make a deal?"

"Say it," Rowdy said, "if it can arouse my interest, I am certainly willing to make a deal with you."

"Let Aunt Iris go, and I'll be the hostage," Wesley said, "to you, I'm much more of a threat than Aunt Iris. It's very profitable for you."

"Is it?" After a pause, Rowdy sneered and said, "I don't think so."

"..." Wesley did not speak, waiting for Rowdy's next words.

"Wesley, you have the ability to escape from me. Once I agree, you will make sufficient preparations before coming here. After I release Old Mrs. Tang, you will escape," Rowdy said coldly and sarcastically, "I will not make a profit from this deal, and even I will take great risks. Do you think I will agree?"

Wesley said slowly to stimulate Rowdy, "It turns out that you are so afraid of me."

"Wesley, it's useless," Rowdy said, "I won't agree."

"When I meet you for Aunt Iris's return, I can let you search me." Wesley said, "I won't take anything with me."

"That is to say, you will be at my mercy at that time, won't you?" Rowdy tut-tutted and said, "Although what I really want is Yuna, it really tempts me."

Wesley continued, "Rowdy, if you have no confidence in yourself, you can try to kill me immediately. In this way, you will have no worries."

Gavin had planned to be an onlooker, but when he heard Wesley say so, he could not maintain his role. He grabbed Wesley's mobile phone and shouted, "Wesley, are you crazy?"

Wesley frowned and said, "Gavin, give me back the phone!"

Gavin glanced at the phone, and the call was still going on.

He could almost imagine Rowdy smiling on the other side of the phone. In a rage, he decisively hung up the phone.

He had known Wesley for so long, but he had never seen him bow to anyone.

Rowdy was not qualified to let Wesley make an exception!
