What was that? Travis' brow furrowed and he could sense a sharp pang on his skin

Camila said in a calm tone, "As long as I continue to apply force, you will remain in immense pain."

The temple is a very delicate part of the human body because the middle brain artery is connected to it. Any impact to the temple can cause severe harm to a person.

When she left the house, she was caught off guard and had no opportunity to arm herself. The only thing she had was the key she had hastily stashed in her pocket. She couldn't exactly kill Travis, but she could intimidate him into submission.

He doubted her ability to harm him and reminded her of the consequences if she did. "Remember, your child's and mother's lives are in my hands. If you lay a finger on me, they will pay the price."

“I have no intentions of hurting you. Will you take me to them?" Camila asked.

“I definitely won't," he answered firmly. Travis narrowed his eyes at her and warned, “If you dare to harm me, your child will pay the price."

He understood the significance of a child to a mother, and thus deduced that she wouldn't dare do him harm as long as he had her child. He was right. Until Joe was rescued, Camila didn't have the courage to act tough with Travis.

He sensed her hesitation and reached up to swipe her hand away. He chuckled as he saw the object she had been holding.

“You think a key is enough to threaten me?”

Camila confronted Travis and demanded that he release her son.

Travis saw the child and her mother as a tool to be used against Isaac and Camila.

He refused to let go of Joe.

"I won't let them go! Not until I'm ready," Travis firmly declared. Camila was filled with rage and resolved to bring him down no matter the cost, even if it meant going down with him

Travis seized her wrist tightly and spoke in a harsh tone.

“Don't give me that look. Don't even try to put the blame on me. It's your fault for marrying Isaac. You deserve to suffer my revenge, everyone associated to him deserves to."

As they spoke, the car pulled over by the river

The river was in a sorry state and had overgrown with grass.

Travis took out his phone and asked, “Isaac should be back at the city by now, right?"

Without getting a response and not expecting any, he proceeded to dial a number.

The call was quickly answered.

To return swiftly, Isaac opted for his private plane rather than a commercial flight.

The plane had just touched down and he was ready to go off.

That was when Travis had called him and he had taken it.

“I have your wife, child, mother-in-law with me. If you want to see your wife, child, and mother-in-law alive again, then hand over your company, Mercury Corp," Travis said over the phone.
