After the two bodyguards finished discussing, they waited five minutes before driving down the dead-end. Their decision was right because after entering the road, Gavin kept an eye on whether any cars were following him until his car drove through at bend, and he felt relieved.
At this moment, he was single-mindedly focused on finishing his plan and not. particularly vigilant. Finally, after about fifteen. minutes, he arrived at the reservoir and saw the kidnappers’ van, which he then parked his car next to.
Ellen had been waiting for the mastermind behind her kidnapping to appear. She was staring at the car and the person in the driver’s seat, waiting for him to come down.
Finally, the car door opened, and the person who got out surprised Ellen. She couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw the person..
Gavin? Ellen couldn’t believe it, but she understood why he had kidnapped her. It was because Jared. had refused his son’s request for promotion, and then his son committed suicide by driving his car into the river.
Gavin handed a suitcase to the waiting kidnappers, saying, “The money is here, but one-third is still at my house. You can pick it up after I finish my work!”
The kidnappers were initially taken aback but quickly calculated how much money they could get and asked Gavin, “When can we get the money?”
“Midnight tonight. I’ll text you the location of my house key, but you can’t leave now. You have to keep watch for me,” Gavin instructed.
“We’ll need extra money to keep watch for you,” the leader said. Gavin looked at them and said, “I have some collectibles at my house that you can take with you.”
Instantly, the kidnappers grew more willing to do whatever he asked. They wondered why this old man wanted to kidnap such a delicate and beautiful woman.
Ellen looked at Gavin, and he looked back at her. After sizing her up, he smiled satisfactorily. and said, “Not bad. My son will like Jared’s woman in the afterworld.”
Ellen widened her beautiful eyes, and upon hearing these words, she thought of necrogamy. Oh my God! Gavin wants to kill me and arrange a posthumous marriage for his son!
Ellen was agitated. She struggled to free. herself from her bound hands and feet. “You can’t escape. Jared owes me. You’re his woman, and there’s no better way to make him suffer than to hurt you. I want to make him suffer”
Ellen wanted to curse out loud. It is clearly your unreasonable request that caused your son’s death! Why do you blame Jared for it? Gavin then took out a whetstone from the trunk. Then, he placed the whetstone near the water and started to sharpen a dagger.
The kidnappers were also stunned. They never expected that Gavin would kidnap such a delicate and beautiful woman just to perform a posthumous marriage for his son. It creeped them out, and they looked at each other, uneasy.
Ellen felt a sense of despair and helplessness. She had encountered someone crazy like Gavin, but there was nothing she could do but feel hopeless. She watched Gavin solemnly perform the ritual and knew she would soon die.
At this moment, a black sports car rushed out of the overpass and sped forward. The mant behind the wheel had dark hair that was already damp with sweat. He tightly gripped the steering wheel, and veins bulge on his hands.
His sports car finally arrived at the spot the bodyguards had given him. He quickly charged down, and even though the road below was uneven, causing sparks to fly from the car chassis several times, he did not slow down.
At this moment, the two bodyguards were already hiding behind the reservoir. They saw Ellen still tied to a tree and breathed a sigh of relief. Soon, they heard the sound of a car and turned around to see Jared’s car.
