Maria’s fingers were still tapping on the keyboard, her eyes set on the computer screen. Multitasking, she told them, "I should be able to track them down very soon. Once we locate them, we'll have a plan.""Maria…"Andrew looked at Maria with deep gratitude. He would have never thought that after how Mia treated Maria previously, she would still exert all her efforts to help Mia out in this crisis.Just this alone was something Mia would never be able to do in her lifetime!Sure, Maria could multitask, but she was still focused primarily on the task at hand, barely noticing Andrew's current emotions.Charles came over and glanced at Maria’s computer screen, which he couldn't understand as it was filled with dense letters and symbols."Ria, do you still need my phone?""No need."While Maria was typing, she said, "When I was contacting them just now, I found that their signal didn't move. That implies those people have stayed put since they left Mia there, which is very advantageous f
At this time, in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Brussels, in a dimly lit cabin, only one table lamp was lit. Mia Lesser lay on the bed, slowly opening her eyes.Everything was so unfamiliar, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell.She had just moved a little, only to find that she couldn't move at all.What's going on?She looked down at herself to find that her feet were tied and her hands were tied behind her back. She couldn't move at all. She wanted to cry out, but she could only make a "whimpering" sound.She was immediately dumbfounded, trying hard to recall what she remembered. She was clearly walking on the street, so how did she end up here? A man sitting nearby was playing a game on his phone. Suddenly hearing a noise, he turned his head and saw her big eyes staring at him in horror. The man laughed in delight."Hehe, girl, you seemed to be sleeping quitecomfortably...""Mmm..."Mia wanted to speak. She wanted to ask the man why he brought her here. But
"Eh!"Inside the car, Maria looked at the computer screen, blinked and said, "Husband, it seems like they're moving...""Moving?"Charles looked at the laptop screen, indeed seeing that the small red dot was slowly moving.Maria and Charles stared unblinkingly at the red dot. They saw the dot circle around before it started heading in their direction."Eh..."The more Maria watched, the more confused she became. "Why do I feel like they're coming towards us? What are they up to?"Indeed, the red dot was slowly moving on the map. While it seemed slow on the map, Maria knew that they weren't slow on the actual road.Moreover, they were currently facing the group and it wouldn't be long until they would meet. Charles saw the red dot getting closer and immediately said, "Jiang Jie, drive towards the hotel. Maintain a steady speed, don't go too fast, and don't go too slow.""Okay."Jiang Jie, who was in the driver's seat, quickly turned the steering wheel at an intersection. His car immedi
Charles looked at Andrew without showing any hint of anger. He simply stared at him calmly, then chuckled, "Do you believe in what you just said?"As the atmosphere turned increasingly awkward and the conversation became more strained, Maria pulled at Charles' hand and smiled at Andrew. "We're still not sure about the whole situation, so we have to adapt to it. Let's not discuss this for now, I'm going to check where they've reached…"After finishing her words, she turned around and looked at her laptop screen again. Either out of surprise or delight, she pointed at the screen and exclaimed, "They're almost here."Upon hearing her words, Andrew and Charles both stopped arguing and turned their attention to the computer screen. The red dot on the screen was getting closer to them, apparently entering the streets controlled by Charles. Andrew bit his lip hard, his voice somewhat hoarse, "They are really... coming..."Charles, for the sake of Maria, did not continue arguing with Andrew
"Alright, then wait for me." Maria hung up the phone and looked at Charles, Andrew, Alexander Caine. Her face remained unreadable.Andrew knew that Maria was saving Mia solely for his sake. He sighed and gave a comforting pat on Maria's shoulder. "Maria, thank you. After we save Mimi, I will properly discipline her."Maria didn't say much. She simply got a shoulder bag, put her phone inside, and walked out leisurely. "You two stay here and don't go anywhere else." Charles told Andrew and Alexander Caine before following Maria.Andrew's mind was in turmoil. He was aware of how much Maria and Charles despised Mia, and yet they were going to save her because of him. While he couldn't fully understand how they might truly feel, he knew how abhorrent this task must be for them. He shook his head and sighed, moving to the window.The window overlooked the street below. If he was careful, he could observe every single movement down there. Alexander Caine also joined him near the window, lo
As if the Grim Reaper was pronouncing the death sentence, the two words "otherwise" were drawn out and caused the men to shiver.They didn't understand, as all of them were men, why Charles seemed so intimidating, merely his words had terrified them and made them want to retreat.Among these men, the one who had taken Mia hostage held the most authority, second only to the boss. His hatred for Charles ran deeper than anyone else's.With Charles appearing before them, how could he possibly retreat now?"Charles!" He shouted fiercely, "Don't you be smug! We aren't afraid of you because we have nothing to lose! If you don't surrender, I will kill this woman!"If it were any other man, they would break their heart looking at Mia’s scared and pitiful face, but Charles just tilted his head, seemingly appreciating the fear on Mia's face...His cold lips curled up slightly, "Do you think I care?"As soon as his words fell, he suddenly exploded into action. With a quick step, he approached the
Actually, as soon as Charles made the first move, Andrew and Alexander Caine had already rushed down from the upstairs. At this moment, they both ran over, right behind Charles…"Maria, Maria…"Charles, looking at Maria’s bleeding hand, ran over in a few strides, "Let me have a look."He gently grabbed Maria’s hand, bringing it closer to his eyes. His deep eyes instantly reflected the bloody red hue, and his entire demeanor became cold.At that moment, Andrew and Alexander Caine also came running over. When the two of them saw the small hand that Charles was holding up, both of their pupils shrank.The originally beautiful hand was now flowing with fresh blood, especially at the center of the palm and the fingers, where there were long and deep wounds.Those wounds almost ran through the length of the palm and fingers, causing their hearts to throb. It is said that the fingers are connected to the heart. How much pain must Maria be in now?"Maria…"Andrew clenched his lips in guilt, h
Andrew let out a heavy sigh. Alexander Caine at least glanced at Mia, but he didn't even bother to look at Mia and got in the car with his legs exhausted.Shortly after, the street quieted down. The security team nabbed all the kidnappers and took them to an unknown place.After a few "whoosh" noises, the car disappeared. The entire street was left with only Mia standing there, alone.She looked left and right, feeling incredibly lonely.No one cared for her. Loneliness and loss engulfed her like a tornado...Why has it come to this?Why does everyone love and care for Maria, but no one does for her?**********Hospital.After the doctor bandaged Maria, she looked at her hand, covered like a dumpling, and pouted in dissatisfaction."What can I do with my hand all bundled up like this?"Charles sat in silence next to her. No matter how cold his expression, he couldn't mask the worry in his eyes."You don't have to do anything. Just rest.""But how is that possible?"Maria sat on the ho
