In disbelief, Ellen looked at the bespectacled man and heard him say with irritation as he took off his glasses, ‘I can’t f*cking get used to wearing these.”
Ellen widened her eyes and realized that the accident involving Brook was intentional and it was a setup for her kidnapping.
At that moment, she heard a man in the front passenger seat making a phone call and saying, “I’ve got the person you wanted. In two hours, you hand over the money, and I’ll hand over the person.”
Just then, Ellen’s cell phone rang, and one of the men rudely opened her bag and grabbed the cell phone. Ellen saw the name on the screen and struggled excitedly because the caller was Jared..
“Decline it, the leading man ordered. The lackey immediately declined the phone call. Ellen wanted to kick the van door for help, but she was warned by another man who held her down, “You little brat, be obedient if you don’t want to die right now.”
Ellen didn’t know this group of people at all. It seemed that someone else was behind her kidnapping. Who is it? Who paid to have me kidnapped?
In the head office of the Presgrave Group, Jared stared at his phone screen. He called again. The call went through but was terminated on the other end in three seconds. Ellen’s cell phone was turned off when he called again for the third time.
An ominous feeling instantly enveloped his heart. She hung up on me twice and then turned off her phone. What happened?
Jared immediately summoned Stanley and told him about this. The latter was also surprised and asked, “Is Miss Reiss still in the residential area?”
“Call the residential area and see if Ellen has left. Hurry up, Jared ordered. Stanley immediately investigated. Ten minutes later, the security on the other end responded that Ellen had left the residential area an hour ago.
“Miss Reiss left the residential area.” “Has she been involved in an accident?” Jared clenched his fists, and his strong sense of worry surged up. ‘Did Miss Reiss tell you anything?”
“No. I think she does not want to bother me because I’ve been busy these past few days,” Jared said. Then, he instructed Stanley, “Contact the police for help. I’ll go back to the residential area.” “Okay!” Stanley quickly left, not daring to waste a second.
After receiving the phone call, Gavin grabbed a bag and left his home. He saw the security guards from the Presgrave Group, who were still monitoring him. So, he approached them and knocked on the car window to say, “You can go back now. I’m just going for a ride.”
The security guards were startled. They had received orders from Presgrave Group to ensure that Gavin would not do anything that would harm the company. However, now that they saw him with a bag planning to go out to relax, they decided to return to the company.
However, Gavin did not notice a black SUV parked in an inconspicuous location nearby. These were Jared’s bodyguards. Gavin was an uncertain factor. With only the company’s security guards monitoring him, Jared could not relax. Ultimately, he assigned two more of his bodyguards to watch over Gavin.
After the company’s car left, Gavin walked towards his car and drove out of the parking lot. He went to a small forest on the outskirts because he had decided to hold a posthumous marriage ceremony there. He wanted to use Ellen as a sacrifice for his son. He had already lost all hope and only wanted to die quickly. Therefore, he was willing to do even the cruelest things.
“Jason, Daddy is here. Wait a little longer, and I will see you in another world. Oh, I also brought a beautiful bride for you,” Gavin muttered in the car.
He did not notice the black car following him. When Jared returned home, he found that Ellen had bought some household items but had not yet unpacked them. She probably left in a hurry.
Jared tried hard to think whom Ellen cared most about now. She had already stopped contact with Connor, so her chess master, Brook, was probably the one she cared about the most.
