Chapter 218
A moment later, Flynn slumped listlessly on the floor.
‘My life is over.‘
“Come on, Benny. Let me see to your wounds.” Bonnie looked at her brother and said.
Benedict tore his confusing gaze away from Sigmund and Flynn. “They’re no ordinary citizens. Am I right, Bonnie?”
“Mm–hmm.” She nodded.
“Well. Who-“Benedict was about to ask his sister who they were but chose to drop it for now. Instead, he said, “I’m starving, Sis.”
There must be a reason why she did not mention it before. Benedict also wondered about Jim and the armed combatants. These were questions he wouldn’t ask his sister. He believed she’d confide with him her secrets someday.
“Let’s go home then.” Bonnie was grateful to have a brother such as him.
“Alright, Sis.” Benedict smiled pleasantly.
The whole thing was far from over, though.
Sydney learned about the ruling Sigmund issued to her son and exploded. “What are you waiting for? Come down, now. We have a bone to pick with Sigmund. Who does he think he is to kick Flynn out of the country for the rest of his life?”
Gunnar’s brows furrowed.
“I made some calls in the study earlier. Then, I sent some of my men to investigate the matter. It looks like Flynn kidnapped Bonnie’s younger brother to blackmail her. However, Dad found out about it and took a team of a thousand combatants to save her.”
“Why are you making it sound so severe? Flynn’s just a kid. I’m sure he kidnapped her brother as a joke. Why did Bonnie have to make a big deal out of it? I can’t believe she made Sigmund kick our baby son out of the country and forbade him from coming back!
“Who gave her the right to do that? Well, Flynn’s my son and his grandson, for crying out loud. I won’t take this!” Sydney snarled viciously.
Flynn also thought the punishment was too harsh. He knew his father well. Even if Gunnar hated Flynn for not living up to his potential, he was still Sigmund’s grandson.
Gunnar had known his son since he was young. Flynn thought his father wouldn’t dish out such a heavy sentence over a spat. That was why he thought there was more to the truth about this incident.
“Let’s go. We need to find Dad and learn the full facade of this fiasco.”

“Oh. You bet we’ll find him, but what’s there to learn? Is there even the need for that? I’m sure that bitch was being unreasonable and resentful. She must’ve forced Sigmund to make that decision.
“I’ve sent my men to wait for our son at the airport. They’re going to stop Sigmund’s men from deporting Flynn. He’s my baby son. I’m not going to stand by and do nothing while they forcibly kick him out of the country,” Sydney said viciously.
Gunnar’s eyes widened. “What did you just say? Did you send someone to stop Dad’s men?”
“You’re damn right I did.”
“You’re even more reckless than I thought. Here I am, wondering why Flynn would do something as outrageous as kidnapping someone. It turns out he takes after you. You’re both rash.”
Out of nowhere, his mind traveled back to when his dad vehemently objected to him marrying Sydney twenty years ago.
Looking back, he had to admit that he should’ve listened to his dad. His dad was a keen judge of character. However, it was all too late now.
“I did what I did because of your dad! He shouldn’t have been so heartless and ejected Flynn from the country. It’s pointless to get cold feet now. My men are already on the move. They’ve probably put Flynn somewhere nobody knows now.”
Suddenly, Bonnie popped into Sydney’s thoughts, and she felt an intense resentment rising in her
chest.
