Love in the dark Chapter 186
George wasn’t as good at reining in his emotions as Zoey was; Laurence’s calmness had stoked his fury. He smashed the items and furniture inside the factory in anger. Once he was done letting off steam, he sat, panting. At his age, he no longer cared about decorum.George couldn’t believe that Laurence didn’t feel anything during the phone call earlier. Could Zoey really be no one in his eyes since he didn’t care about her life even though she was his wife? But how could a husband be heartless enough not to care about his wife?George shifted his rage at Laurence to Zoey. He grabbed her by her hair and forced her to look up. “How long have you been married to him?”Zoey didn’t answer.George flung her down and began to mutter to himself, “It’s been at least a year and a half by now. He’s got to have slept with you several times, right? So why the fuck does he not feel anything for you?”Zoey’s head hurt. Her body ached. The floor was cold, and the metal pipes digging into her back were

George blew up, and his voice immediately rose in anger. “Where is he? Get him to answer the call!”“Mr. Scott has returned to his hotel to rest,” the assistant replied.George was unstable. He shoved the phone into Zoey’s hand. “Speak with him.”Zoey could instantly tell that Matthew was the person on the other end of the line. She gripped the phone, staring at the screen. All of a sudden, her throat went dry, and she couldn’t squeeze a word out.George gave her a hard kick. Zoey didn’t want to butt heads with him. The fewer confrontations she had with him, the better. To her, she didn’t deserve this treatment.Zoey gulped before she spoke. “Matthew, is Mr. Scott in?” Her voice sounded weak, as though she was lethargic.Matthew paused, and in the end, he gave in. “Please hold on, Miss Jenner.”A moment later, Zoey heard a familiar voice.Laurence’s tone was still as calm and even as ever, no different from how it usually was. She couldn’t detect any hint of panic in it. Zoey initially

Shawn didn’t seem perturbed about the situation worsening. After a pause, he asked, “You aren’t worried that George might jump the gun and kill her?”Laurence raised an eyebrow. “No.”George would not do that unless his hand were forced. He still had his son, who was still alive and in jail. If George wanted to continue negotiations, he wouldn’t let go of his prize bargaining chip.Shawn was in deep thought for a moment before a light smile came to his lips. “To stay alive means to suffer the pains that come with it,” he said as he looked at Laurence. He was in deep admiration of Laurence’s heartlessness. “And I thought you were starting to feel a little something for her, thanks to all the times you’ve slept together.” Shawn chuckled. “You really haven’t changed all these years.”He was even crueler than the rest of them. He was even more immovable than stone.Laurence responded with a hard look, “You’re the same too.”There was something that Shawn was curious about, though. “You are

Zoey had no idea whether she would die here. All she could do now was save herself.George hadn’t shown himself for the last two days. He seemed to have already thought of another plan to threaten Laurence and only ordered the scarred man to watch Zoey and prevent her from escaping.Zoey had observed the inside of the factory. It would be easy to escape due to the door and windows, but the scarred man looked terrifying. She could tell at a glance that he wasn’t one to cross, and she couldn’t be sure there were no guards past the door.Zoey glanced at the scarred man. “I need to go to the bathroom,” she said.The scarred man turned to look at her. “Don’t waste your energy,” he warned her.Zoey wasn’t as afraid of him as she had been. This man may look like a hardened criminal, but he wasn’t as cruel as he seemed. “I won’t run,” she assured him.The scarred man stared at her, seemingly trying to determine if she was lying. He then walked over to undo the ropes around her wrists and broug

However, despite George’s best plans, he hadn’t accounted was Laurence’s calmness toward his wife’s kidnapping and Laurence’s lack of interest in negotiations.Zoey didn’t intend to keep speaking with the scarred man. She would not get through to him. She quietly wrapped her arms around her knees and curled up in the corner. The rational side and the emotional side of her warred with each other. Rationally, it was the right move for Laurence to leave her here. If he decided to come, he would fall into George’s trap. If he allowed himself to get emotional, he would have to take a huge risk that might even cost him his life.Zoey couldn’t tell whether she hoped Laurence would come. Maybe she still did to some extent, as though that would prove that he cared for her.Zoey’s mind was abuzz. She buried her face in her knees. She knew that she shouldn’t think about this from an emotional viewpoint; instead, she should look at the problem from Laurence’s perspective. She shouldn’t hope for to
Love in the dark Chapter 191
Laurence was being brutally honest. Being rash would not solve this problem. If he did go to the factory, he would end up where George wanted him, and Laurence wasn’t that stupid. He had already ordered someone to track down George. It was only a matter of time until he was found.George didn’t become angry after hearing that. On the contrary, he laughed. He forced Zoey to look at him, and just as he had hoped, her eyes were teary. He then rubbed salt into her wounds. “Listen to what your husband just said.”Zoey clenched her teeth, remaining silent. She didn’t want to show any weakness.“Even I’m feeling a little sorry for you,” George said, feigning sympathy.Zoey repeated to herself that things would be okay. Laurence was right—if he came to the factory, he would just be coming to his doom. Dying would achieve nothing.She smiled weakly. “But is he wrong?” she asked.George was stunned.Zoey hadn’t eaten much the last few days. It left her weak, so her voice was rather soft. “Would

She didn't look like a hostage at all. She was calm and relaxed, unafraid that she would die here. Sarah looked at her with a grin, still in the mood for a chat. "Was this how you guys stayed warm when you got kidnapped last time?"Zoey clenched her fists and said, "It's none of your business." Sarah smiled innocently and asked, "How could it be none of my business? Laurence told me a lot about it. He said you got whipped and got slapped on the left side of your face, didn't you?"She was defeated by the calm and smiling Sarah. Sarah said, "No wonder he likes to kiss me on the left cheek and touch my ears. You will never know how lovingly he looks at me."Laurence's world revolved around Sarah. Zoey felt as if she were clenched in Sarah's hand with no choice but to get crushed. She felt suffocated and miserable, like an animal in a slaughterhouse. Her throat hurt as if she’d swallowed knives, and blood flowed freely from her wound. She said hoarsely, "You're still so proud after steali
Love in the dark Chapter 193
It was a balance of rationale and emotion. Laurence had chosen emotion without any hesitation. He just couldn't bring himself to watch on the sidelines and do nothing.George didn't expect to be so lucky. "Then I'll be waiting for you here, Mr. Scott." After hanging up, he texted Laurence the location and warned him not to try anything, or everyone would die.The scarred man was already very impatient. "Must I still tie them over the cliff?" George changed his mind at the last minute. Since Laurence dared to come, then the dynamite he had hidden in the warehouse would still be of use. "No, just stay here for now. We'll see again tomorrow before Laurence arrives." The scarred man suppressed his rage and said, "Mr. Cole, regardless of whether your plan works tomorrow, my pal and I are leaving."Although George was displeased, he didn't dare to argue with him. People like them shed blood every other day, and they were like hounds of hell. He nodded and said, "Fine."Zoey didn't say anythi
