for? Do it.”
Dylan, shielding Sarah, shouted at Jennifer, “Are you really going to stand by and watch him torture the Hargreaves family?”
Timothy sneered, “You’re right.”
In the next moment, he covered Jennifer’s eyes and voiced a low whisper in her ear,

The air was filled with the sounds of the Hargreaves family’s futile struggles and Sarah’s sobbing. Meanwhile, Jennifer remained rooted to the spot.

Daniel gestured toward Sarah. “Just
