CEO’s Ex-Wife Stunned The World By Cathy Colborn Chapter 122

Chapter 122 Child in the Reservoir

“You’re still not going to tell?” Edwin raised a brow and said fiercely.

Konnor clamped a hand over his burnt arm and dared not look straight into Edwin’s eyes.

“Edwin, I really don’t know where her son is.”

Edwin laughed darkly.

“I didn’t tell you which child was missing. How did you know that it was her son? Not her daughter?”

Hearing this, Konnor tensed up. He still gave himself away.

Indeed, after he entered this room, they only asked him if he had seen the child, which could either be the son

or the daughter.

Konnor was even more frightened. He stammered, “Edwin… It’s just a mere guess…”

“Looks like you want the hard way.”

Edwin said and gestured to the bodyguards again.

Immediately, four bodyguards stepped forward and held him upside down by his ankles. Then, they stuffed

Konnor’s head into the toilet.

And they pressed the flush button.

Streams of water rushed into Konnor’s nostrils.

It made Konnor unable to breathe. He couldn’t even struggle. The water ran into his throat through his nose.

Konnor choked.

He twisted his body, trying to wrench himself free.

Unfortunately, Edwin’s bodyguards were all one-in-a-million fighters. And in their eyes, Konnor was as weak as

an ant.

His head was firmly stuck in the toilet.

At this moment, Konnor was overwhelmed by the fear of death. He had never suffered such cruel torture all

his life.

“Well? Are you willing to tell me now?”

Seeing Konnor’s resistance grow weaker and weaker, Edwin finally made the bodyguards put him down.

Konnor coughed and retched. He rolled his eyes and had even lost a tooth.

His nose and mouth were bleeding, and he looked miserable and pathetic.

Julianna was so scared that her hair stood on end. And she could not bear to watch it any longer.

Plus, Konnor was only a suspect now and had not been proven to be guilty. So it was kind of heartless of

Edwin to torture him like this.

“Edwin, stop torturing him…”

Edwin ignored Julianna and continued to ask Konnor, “Where is the child? This is your last chance. You know, I, Edwin, always keep my word. If you don’t tell me now, I won’t tell them to stop later.”

Edwin had an intuition that it was Konnor who took the child away. Moreover, if Edwin wanted an answer, he

would get it.

“The child… The child…” Konnor rolled his eyes a few times, and his face became purplish red.

“Where is it? I’ll count to three. If you don’t tell me, I’ll throw you into the sea and feed you to the sharks.”

Many gangs in Philadelphia often took their enemies to the high sea, tied them up, and threw them into the

sea.

Of course, there were also many rich people who paid them to kill. And these gangs would make sure they

left no evidence after killing.

“One.” Edwin started to count.

Konnor was so scared that his heart jumped. He looked at Edwin in horror.

“Edwin, don’t forget that you are engaged to my sister.”

“Two.” Edwin ignored his words.

“Edwin, I truly don’t know…”

“Three.” After Edwin counted to three, he stood up and snapped his fingers at the bodyguards.

The bodyguards understood. They approached Konnor with a black plastic bag and were about to put it over

his head.

Seeing that Edwin meant it, Konnor was so scared that he pissed himself.

“Wait… I’ll tell…”

When Julianna heard this, her ears perked up. “Where is my child?”

Konnor stammered with a horrified expression, “The kid… He is in… In the reservoir on the roof…”

Boom.

After hearing this, Julianna gasped. Her legs weakened, and she almost fell to the ground.

“Hurry up and go to the roof.”

Julianna regained her senses, turned around, and ran to the stairwell.

Edwin, Glenn, and the bodyguards also ran toward the roof.

Although the studio was only three stories high, there was a reservoir on the roof.

It was hard to imagine what would happen to a four-year-old child after throwing him into it.

On the roof.

As expected, there was a reservoir that was more than 10 feet deep and about 5 feet in diameter.

“Bruce, Bruce.” Julianna climbed up the ladder of the reservoir like crazy.

This ladder was straight and had no handrails. It looked dangerous.

But Julianna couldn’t care less about it.

Edwin grabbed her wrist and dragged her down. “Julianna, it’s dangerous up there. Come down. I’ll let the bodyguards go up there.”

Then, the four bodyguards rushed over and climbed up the iron ladder quickly.

After that, they lifted the cover of the reservoir.

The reservoir, without the cover, looked like a huge black well. It was pitch dark inside.

“Mr. Keaton, it’s too dark in here.”

“Just jump in.”

“Yes.”

Plop, plop. Two bodyguards jumped right in.

Julianna was extremely anxious. She almost dared not to look at the reservoir. She was afraid that Bruce had

become a cold corpse.

Though Edwin was holding her tightly, he couldn’t stop her from trembling violently. “Calm down. The child

will surely be alright.”

Edwin comforted Julianna and held her even tighter. Somehow, Edwin became nervous too. He prayed inwardly that Bruce would be safe and sound.

The reservoir was ten feet high and was half filled.

Not to mention it was only a kid, even an adult could hardly survive three hours in there.

After the bodyguards jumped in, they searched in the water.

As expected, they found a boy near a pipe.

At this moment.

Bruce held onto the water pipe tightly and was floating in the water. He was barely conscious. When he saw someone jump in, he thought it was an illusion. He didn’t even have the strength to call for help.

“Found him! There really is a child.” The bodyguards hurriedly approached Bruce to get him.

“Give us a ladder. The child is alive.” This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Hearing this, Edwin finally let out a sigh of relief. “Julianna, did you hear that? Bruce is alive.”

Julianna had been on an emotional roller coaster the whole day. When she heard the news, she was so

relieved that her legs went weak, and she fell to the ground.

Edwin held her tightly. Julianna subconsciously buried her head in his arms and broke down crying.

Glenn watched them and suddenly felt dejected.

Right. They were a loving family, and he was only a third wheel.

Soon, the bodyguards outside the reservoir fetched a soft ladder and put it down.

“Kiddo, let go. We’ve come to save you,” the bodyguards comforted Bruce.

However…

Bruce was overcome with fear, and he held onto the water pipe tightly and wouldn’t let go.
