Holly Sinclair wanted to take a step forward, but Tristan Sterling gently pulled her back, not letting her get too close to Brandon Sterling and Zachary Sterling.
He was ensuring her safety at all times.
Although she felt Tristan was being a little overcautious, Holly didn't reject his concern and care.
Looking at Zachary and Brandon, she offered a cold, sarcastic smile. "First, Brandon has committed a felony. It's not a case that can be dropped just because we say we won't press charges. Second, this is the first time I've ever seen a hostage so eagerly help his kidnapper make an outrageous demand for a sky-high ransom. Could you please stop insulting our intelligence? And third, at this point, what gives you the confidence to think Tristan can still be PUA'd by you?"
Even a fool could see that the father-son duo, Zachary and Brandon, were just putting on an act.
Gazing at Holly's perfect profile, Tristan's eyes reddened. He was deeply moved.
'She's defending me again.'
