The moment the words left Lowell''s mouth, a fist connected with his face! Wyatt was beyond furious.


    "Call your partners! Tell them not to touch Diaz! Do you hear me?"


    Lowell struggled, yelling for Dane. "Dane, help me! Wyatt is actually insane! Trust me, don''t listen to his nonsense!"


    Wyatt roared,nding another punch. "You''re the crazy one! If you don''t call your buddies right now, I''ll beat you to death! I''ll kill you!"


    Dane quickly jumped in to pull them apart. "Wyatt, stop for a second. I need to ask him some questions."


    Wyatt looked at Dane with bloodshot eyes, his voice thick with emotion. "Dane, it was him! He had Diaz kidnapped! He''s a bad guy! They want to hurt you and Diaz! He wants to sell your organs! He even said they''d cut out Diaz''s tongue!"


    "I heard it! I heard everything! With my own ears! I''m not crazy! You have to believe me! I''m not crazy!"


    Lowell was floored,pletely speechless.


    Dane was just as stunned, staring in disbelief.


    It was hard to tell if he was more shocked that Wyatt wasn''t crazy or by the news about Diaz.


    Seeing Dane''s hesitation, Wyatt''s eyes welled up with tears. "Dane, you have to believe me. I love you guys. You''re everything to me. There''s a reason I pretended to be crazy!"


    "I''m not crazy! I''m really not! I will exin everythingter, but right now, we have to save Diaz! They''re going to cut out his tongue! If we''rete, he''ll never be able to speak again! Please, you have to believe me..."


    Hearing this, Lowell let out a quiet sigh of relief. It was all an act! The clue was right here with him!


    Just as Lowell was about to say something, a sharp, searing pain shot through his ankle. Dane had stomped on his injured foot!


    "Aargh!" Lowell screamed, nearly passing out from the pain.


    Rain poured down in sheets. Dane stood in the downpour, picking up the dagger and pointing it at Lowell''s eyes. "Make the call! Do what Wyatt said, make the call!"


    Dane clearly believed Wyatt now and was suspicious of Lowell.


    Gritting his teeth against the pain, Lowell took the phone. But in a stroke of bad luck, the battery had died!


    Lowell scrambled to exin. "I lied


    to you. The video is fake. It was Al-generated Diaz is


    at Sutter as


    ce,


    he''s fine. You can call Sutton if you don''t believe me."


    "I tricked you because..." Lowell nced at Wyatt, then said to Dane, "I swear I never meant to harm you! at it tell


    Sutton and while!


    my boss toe and get me


    Now that it was confirmed Wyatt wasn''t crazy, this was a matter for Tarquin Bradford to handle. Even if he asked, Wyatt surely wouldn''t talk Tarquin needed to be the one to do it.  sw?ovels


    Only then did Dane remember to call Sutton. He pulled out his old flip phone and dialed.


    After confirming Diaz was safe and sound, Dane felt a wave of relief and looked at Lowell with a questioning gaze.


    Wyatt was also confused, having no idea what Lowell was nning.


    Lowell didn''t exin, only saying, "I mean you no harm."


    ...


    As soon as Tarquin got the news, he rushed over as fast as he could.


    Dane had already brought Lowell back to his house, and Wyatt was there too.


    The moment he saw Diaz, Dane rushed forward and threw his arms around him, bursting into tears.


    Lowell''s stunt had truly terrified him.


    Diaz looked puzzled. "Dane, what''s wrong?"


    Dane just held him tighter, sobbing uncontrobly.


    Seeing this, Lowell was filled with guilt. "..."


    But the moment Wyatt saw Tarquin, he froze.


    His eyes went wide as he stared at Tarquin. "You... you''re..."
