The man uttered those words in a meaningful tone, making Mona pause.Joseph took off his suit jacket and draped it over Monaโs body covering the pistol, along with her hands that were handcuffed behind her.The man opened the door and let Mona go out first. She cooperated as much as possible, not making any noise and not bumping into anyone along the way. Then, she got into an MPV parked at the back door.It was very late, and the car sped all the way from the city onto the highway.Mona sat in the back of the car, exhausted. She lowered her eyes and frowned, mulling something over. She was not afraid of the upcoming unknowns. Instead, she was thinking about Josephโs motives.Raising her eyes, she looked at the man sitting beside her looking sideways out of the window. His gaze was stagnant, and his expression was painful. It was as if he was remembering something sad.He looked more upset than she was, as if he was the one being kidnapped.Mona closed her eyes, unwilling to thi

โMadam and Joseph Marshall got into the car but did not stay in Neuffield. They went on the highway toward Linsburg.โThe assistant showed Thaddeus the traffic surveillance video he had just collected, as well as the news of the fan assaulting Mona on stage during the celebration party.โIn addition, we found a man suspected of being this fan in the bathroom. The police technical department identification showed that they were not the same person. However, they were wearing the same clothes. This matter is very suspicious.โThaddeus frowned slightly after hearing the assistantโs report. It was indeed very strange.โCall the police immediately.โ The man stood up and ordered decisively. โMobilize all Fontaine family forces to seal the city if needed. Find her.โThe assistant nodded and instantly did as he was told. The city in question that would be sealed was Linsburg. It was a huge move. After all, the last time such a huge commotion happened was when Thaddeusโ second personality

Ginny resisted her physical discomfort and continued, โThe case was solved a week after the police found the actressโ body. The culprit was the fan who went on stage to harass her. Through surveillance cams, the police found that the fan came into contact with the actress again when she went to the washroom.โJennifer clicked her tongue. โI knew the entertainment industry wasnโt clean. There are all sorts of troubles. The Fontaine family will never accept that kind of woman as a daughter-in-law...โAs she muttered to herself, she eventually realized that the story Ginny told was highly consistent with Monaโs disappearance today.Thaddeus had already judged the seriousness of the matter, so he immediately issued an order to use the familyโs private forces to seal off the city. Ginny also noticed his inner thoughts and used the opportunity to show her understanding by explaining them to Jennifer.Ginnyโs action was the right move. Thaddeusโ impression of her naturally improved.Howe

Thaddeusโ hands trembled slightly as he watched this video. His calmness could no longer be maintained. He opened the car door and walked quickly into the police station.โHow is the investigation going?โ The man asked the busy policeman. He stood in an office full of monitoring and tracking equipment and large screens for positioning.The police set up an investigation team after receiving the report and assembled the provinceโs experts to work on this case. This kidnapping case was too similar to the July 21 incident, and Mona was a celebrity in the entertainment circle. The news had already caused a social sensation, so the police attached great importance to it.โItโs going smoothly. Weโve located the address of that phone call. Weโll contact the Linsburg police immediately to cooperate with us to track down the kidnapper.โโBe quick.โ Thaddeus tossed his phone on the table, revealing the video. His furrowed brows could not hide his worry and anxiety. โMy wife is in danger! Ple

Thaddeus almost ran to the door, but the ringing of his cell phone stopped him from pushing the door open.โIf you come in, youโll never see Mona Ortega again.โThis time, the speakerโs voice was unprocessed. Josephโs voice sounded in his ears.Thaddeus slammed his fist on the door and cursed, โDamn you.โโJoseph Marshall, Iโll give you as much money as you want. Just let my wife go!โโHaha. Will you really give me whatever I want?โ Joseph laughed smugly. โWhat if I say I want everything you have? I want you homeless, your future, and your career. I want you to become a poor beggar. Would you do it?โThaddeus clenched his fists. It was truly a cruel choice for a man who weighed the pros and cons.A womanโs life in exchange for the wealth his family had built for several generations. In terms of reason, it was clear that the latter was more valuable.Thaddeus hesitated. After pondering for a moment, he said, โFine. As long as you let Mona go, Iโll give you everything I have.โโ

Joseph took a solid punch from Thaddeus and staggered back, almost falling to the ground.Mona hurriedly went over to help him up.Thaddeus grabbed her wrist and pulled her behind him.โWhy are you always causing trouble for me?โ The manโs tone mixed with anger as he looked at Mona coldly.Monaโs lips moved as if to say something, but her words choked in her throat before she swallowed them back.This man simply did not have the patience to hear an explanation. He only thought she was causing trouble for him.After all, they had no feelings for each other. He had already done his best by traveling to another city overnight and taking the situation seriously. So how could she ask him to sympathize with her emotions too?It was too forceful to let a person who disliked her consider the problem from her position. To her, that was also unreasonable.Joseph stood across them and watched the conversation between the two. When he saw the disappointment and embarrassment on Monaโs face

Mona leaned back against the seat wearily and closed her eyes.She was tired...Her hand touched the wooly blanket beside her, smelling the faint scent of a ladiesโ perfume.Opening her eyes, she picked up the blanket and looked at it. The logo of the golf course was embroidered on the corner of the blanket.It belonged to Ms. Kimball.Mona pursed her lips as Ginnyโs beautiful and young face emerged in her mind. For a moment, she felt inferiority grow inside her.Ginny was a great girl. She was a good match for Thaddeus and deserved the status of Mrs. Fontaine.Mona put down the blanket and looked out the window. As dawn broke, her head became clearer and clearer.Meanwhile, the police learned what happened in the kidnapping case.The kidnapping had just been a false alarm. The bigwigs in the entertainment industry got together and directed a big show to reenact the July 21 kidnapping case.However, this time, the conclusion of the police was overturned, and the truth reveale

In fact, her heart had become cold and hard like stone.Thaddeus saw Mona swiftly avoiding him as if she were avoiding an insect or snake.He withdrew his hand, a layer of ice on his face. Then, he ignored her, thinking she was just throwing a tantrum.The man rubbed his brows. This whole farce had given him a headache. It was true that he was a little fierce to the woman earlier, but anyone else would have had the same reaction.Since she was dissatisfied, he would put away his concern for her and let her reflect on herself.So the man closed his eyes and said nothing.Mona tilted her head and looked at the scenery outside the window. Her heart was unusually calm. After all, she had tempered her heart a long time ago. No matter how bad the situation was, whether she was misunderstood, treated badly, humiliated, or had her dignity trampled on, she would not be affected.The car drove on the expressway for three hours. By the time they arrived at Fontaine Residence, it was alread

The couple was tired after a time of bonding, and they lay on the wicker chair, closing their eyes before slipping into dreamland. Sometime later, Thaddeus felt a chill and opened his eyes. His T-shirt was wet, and Bobby and Millie were spraying water at him with water guns. The youngest child was nearby too in her stroller. She suckled on a pacifier and watched the bustle. โWhereโs your mommy?โ Thaddeus shuffled his hair and looked around, searching for Mona. โFreeze, Daddy. We have held Mommy captive. Surrender yourself to us.โ Acting like the boss, Millie pointed her massive water gun at her daddy. Thaddeus had indulged his eldest daughter so much that the girl would only have things her way. Nevertheless, Thaddeus played along since it was only a game. He knew his children well. Millie took after Mona and was shrewd. Still, Millie would be on her best behavior when in public. โHurry up and surrender, Daddy. Put your hands up, and we will release Mommy.โ Millie poked

It was a cooling breeze for the Summer as flowers bloomed in the garden of Fontaine Residence. Mona rested on a wicker chair under the wine arbor, holding in hand the latest issue of the weekly design magazine, with her face on the cover. In the photo, she held a trophy up on the stage of a design competition, standing out amidst the radiant background. Since the birth of her youngest, Mona took a month off for rest before picking up her passion again and returning to the world of design. Recently, she won first place in an international design competition and found fame. Mona was happy with her life and enjoyed the rich and peaceful state of things. She had time to herself for once during the weekend, so she found a quiet spot to enjoy time alone while the kids had a nap. The sunlight shone over Mona through the leaves, basking her in warmth. She let out a yawn and closed her eyes for a nap. Thaddeus walked out of the house and saw the woman enjoying the moment of bliss. The t

โMommy, did the baby kick you today?โ Millie wobbled her way over and placed her hand on Monaโs belly. She could feel the baby stirring inside her mommyโs stomach. Millie was pleasantly surprised. โThe baby kicked me! Mommy, is the baby swimming inside your belly?โ โYeah. The baby is kicking.โ Mona affectionately caressed her belly. The fetus had been kicking and rolling a lot more lately, so she could not get much sleep. The tall and strong man drew near and looked tenderly at Mona. His husky voice lingered in Monaโs ear. โWerenโt you craving strawberries? I placed an order, and the fruit is being airlifted here as we speak. Itโll arrive tonight.โ โYay.โ Mona was gleeful. Since the beginning of her pregnancy, she had become quite fussy and craved the strangest food. She wanted caviar from Japan, cookies from France, and strawberries from the highlands. Anything she asked for would be transported fresh to the house the next day.The man had taken good care of her during her en
Clingy Loveย ย ย Chapter 996
โNo. I wonโt let myself go.โ The man huffed heavily after finishing his sit-ups. Then, he rolled out of bed and got changed in the walk-in closet. Mona stared at the manโs well-toned back, gasping at his body upkeep. People would probably have a hard time believing he was a father of three. With that in mind, Mona became aware of a potential threat. She got up and drew close to the man. โYouโre responsible for taking care of the baby once the child is born.โ Thaddeus straightened his tie. โAlright. I can do that. I want to be present in the babyโs life and your pregnancy. You should rest at home once your belly gets bigger. Iโll handle Bobby and Millieโs school run, okay?โ The man pinched Monaโs face dotingly. โNow youโre talking. Are you heading out?โ Mona got up on her tiptoes to brush off the dust from his shoulders. โYeah. I need to sort out a lot of paperwork.โ โI wrote down notes of the meeting I attended on your behalf a few days ago.โ Mona walked out to retrieve a

Thaddeus was in the hospital for a week before he was discharged. The election day for the successor of the Fontaine Group was two weeks later, but Thaddeus had not made a full recovery in his legs. He remained in a wheelchair and persisted in his daily physiotherapy. Mona had a room freed up in Fontaine Residence for Thaddeusโ rehabilitation. A specialized doctor would come around the house every day to help Thaddeus with his recovery. Thaddeus was a strong man to fight through the pain in his physiotherapy sessions. That day, Mona watched as the workers hung a decorative painting on the wall in the hallway. She ordered paintings of her preference and had them shipped from abroad. Mona instructed the workers to put it up, not paying attention to the wobbly painting that had been hung behind her. The painting was about to hit her from the back. Thaddeus was exiting the rehabilitation room when he caught sight of the danger. Getting up from his wheelchair, Thaddeus took large stri

The few pictures of Mona and Victor at the height of a tussle gave the impression that they were having an intimate moment. Thaddeus went through the photos with a look of disdain. โSo you stood there and pretended to take pictures of me to show me these? You set my wife up with another man to tell me she was cheating on me?โ It was not hard to guess the game the paparazzi were playing, but who was he trying to fool? The man was dumbstruck, as it never occurred to him that Thaddeus could see through him. It had taken the three of them to come up with the idea. However, it had not taken much for Thaddeus to foil their plan. Mona let out a relieved smile. She thought that Thaddeus would be furious at the look of the pictures and had prepared herself to give a long explanation. She was surprised that Thaddeus quickly saw through the attempt to drive them apart. Their relationship was solid, and no one could come between them. Mona thought to herself with glee when she took

Mona stood in front of Thaddeus, blocking his face as she confronted the paparazzi who took their picture. โHand over the camera!โ โThereโs nothing in the camera. Besides, itโs my personal property. Why should I give it to you?โ โYou clearly took a picture of my husband. You have some nerve to say thereโs nothing.โ Mona grabbed the man by the wrist and lifted her foot to kick. Thaddeus grabbed her wrist to stop her. โYouโre pregnant. Think about the child.โ Thaddeus pulled Mona back, leaving himself exposed to the paparazzi. โWhy do you want to photograph me? Do you want to see me in a wheelchair? Take a picture then.โ Thaddeus pulled a straight face. His nonchalant gaze spoke of intimidation. Dumbstruck, the paparazzi looked at Thaddeusโ legs and smiled dryly. โWhat happened to your legs, Mr. Fontaine?โ Thaddeus did not answer. However, his dark eyes flicked chillingly as he looked murderously at the paparazzi. Even in a wheelchair, Thaddeus did not have to say anythi

With the help of the two caretakers, Thaddeus sat in the wheelchair. He had overcome his emotions and pulled himself together. His mind was clear as he sorted out what he should do next. Thaddeus called the assistant into the room and laid out the following plan. โI wonโt attend any media interviews before the election, but I wonโt disappear from the public eye either. I donโt want to give the press something to talk about. My wife will represent me. Going forward, whatever she says or does will be considered my own. She has the authority to attend all corporate conferences, big or small.โ Mona dropped her jaw in shock. She was to attend company meetings and speak on his behalf. It was trying to make the impossible happen. On second thought, Thaddeus must have his reasons to do so. She had the confidence to do a good job anyway. The assistant took note of everything Thaddeus said. The Fontaine Group was about to choose its next leader, and with Thaddeus still in recovery, the

โItโs okay. Thatโs normal after surgery. The doctor gave me a heads-up. Since itโs a brain operation, you might have damage to the motor nerve. With the help of physiotherapy, youโll be back to running in no time.โ Mona consoled Thaddeus. Thaddeus lifted his hands and gave Mona a gentle push. โLeave.โ Mona froze. She looked at the man who was fine a second ago, not knowing what to do. โCan you leave? I need some time alone,โ Fixing his gaze on Mona, Thaddeus spoke callously. โOkay. Iโll be right outside if you need me.โ It dawned on Mona why the man was persistent in driving her away. He did not want her to see him at his worst. In a way, he was trying to protect his pride and dignity as a man. However, they were a married couple. Mona would never turn her back on him. Mona could understand the manโs vulnerability and his feelings at the moment. Hence, she said nothing and quietly left the ward to give Thaddeus the time and space to sort his emotions. Instead of doing n
