The police arrived at the scene of the accident shortly and pulled up the barricade tape.The front car was a luxury car with a high-security factor, so only two of its lights were shattered, and the back sank in a little.The back car, which was a van, was completely out of shape. The front was basically crushed as its engine smoked.“Linda, how are you feeling?” Cordelia’s face was pale from the shock.She thought her driving skill was decent and followed the traffic rules. Somehow, she was tailed while driving and could not even step on the brake in time when she was rammed, skidding dozens of meters away from the collision.It was fortunate that Linda had been hugging a pillow in the car, so her belly was not hurt with the cushion blocking.The ambulance came, and the paramedics hurriedly carried the two people in the van behind them out.The police came over and knocked on their window to ask about their state. Seeing that they were alright, they were asked to do a checkup
Cordelia was right. To the outside world, Kelly barely existed. Why would someone specifically abduct her?Cordelia pressed her lips together and said softly, “Zephyr, it’s strange. I think Nelly definitely has something to do with it.“It’s not that I have prejudice toward her or I’m picking on her. But think about it, a kidnapper didn’t want a known Tanner heiress but went through all that trouble for a Tanner heiress no one even knows about. Is it really about the money?”Cordelia paused and added, “If it’s for money, it’s not Kelly that should be abducted. If it's not for money, then… then what is it for?”“To get rid of her!” Zephyr said abruptly.Cordelia felt chills creep up.“Maybe my guess is wrong…”“Whether it’s right or wrong, nothing must be overlooked.” Zephyr held her shoulders and ran a thumb over her face.He smiled and felt proud looking at the girl who looked soft but was tough and smart.He took her back to the room hand in hand and called Robert before the
Cordelia and Zephyr exchanged a look and immediately noticed what was wrong. “Heh, Zephyr, Josiah.” Joe forced a smile as he looked at them. “It’s late. It’s best that you go home. Thank you for your concern for Kelly. Josiah, especially…”Zephyr stepped forward with an impassive cryptic gaze. “Uncle Tanner, why isn’t the big sister around when something so big has happened to the little sister?”Joe was startled and stayed quiet.Zephyr smirked and already had a guess.After he left the hospital, he asked Robert to investigate the driver. Whatever method is used, he must spill the truth.Zephyr started the car after that while Cordelia was sleepy, leaning against the car window. He shifted her by her shoulders and draped his jacket over her. He then told her softly, “Ms. Cordelia, you have a contract to sign tomorrow. Don’t forget about it.”Cordelia tossed around and pried her eyes open to smile at Zephyr. His deep and husky voice was endlessly loving, drowning her in it.Sh
Rowan was taken aback. ‘Did Zephyr lose his memory? He does not look like it, judging by how he was all over Cordelia earlier.’He smiled at Cordelia. “Who has amnesia?”“It’s my friend…” Cordelia contemplated and said, “To be precise, it’s not exactly a friend. It’s someone my friend likes.“She’s the Tanners’ other heiress, Kelly Tanner.”“Oh?” Rowan creased his brows.This was heated news previously, and he had heard about it but just did not care enough. He did not care about anything that had nothing to do with Cordelia—what was more, this was the Tanners. Nelly Tanner already repulsed him!He advised, “Cordelia, why are you close to the Tanners? It’s their business whether they have another daughter. Why would you be concerned?”“I’m not close to them. It’s that… this Ms. Kelly is really someone my friend likes. I want to help them!”Cordelia’s voice was sweet. “Uncle Irwin, the Tanners aren’t that bad. Mrs. Tanner is reasonable and clear with what and who she likes and h
“Of course I should thank you properly for resolving such a big problem for me!“Here, this is for you!”Nelly pulled out a ticket with a smile.Mona widened her eyes when she saw what it was through the dim lighting.“This… This is Sol Entertainment’s grand event?”“Exactly!” Nelly was triumphant.Mona’s hands shook in thrill. Sol Entertainment was holding its grand event for the first time, but it had been publicized greatly before this, promoted as the grandest event in showbiz.Whoever got to ride on this would have a bright future ahead.“Nelly, you’re awesome! How did you get it?” Mona gave her a hug. “Are you really giving me this ticket?”“I’m not in showbiz, so there’s no need for me to keep it.” Nelly smiled. “Suitable things should go to suitable people!“It’s said that Nicholas will be there too…” Nelly looked at Mona with a thoughtful look. “You know what to do, right?”Once she thought of Linda’s pregnant belly, she was upset.A pregnant woman’s bad mood would
“I…” Nicholas looked troubled and hesitant.Zephyr gave him a harsh pat. “How am I supposed to help you if you’re not honest with me!?”After a stretched moment of silence, Nicholas said softly, “I’ve only met Mona a few times, and she’s always pestering me. I don’t know how she got into this grand event, and I got weak after drinking a glass of drink she passed me.”Zephyr rolled his eyes several times, unable to believe how gullible Nicholas was.“I was just weak!” Nicholas raised his voice in explaining, “Not unconscious, you know?“So how would I not know if I’ve done it or not?“Besides, there’s another reason…” His voice went low again as he spoke slower. “After I drink, I… I can’t…”“What?” Zephyr was shocked.Nicholas pursed his lips and glared at him.This had been a secret of his that he had never told anyone. He was usually fine, but a drop of alcohol, and he could not get anything up.Zephyr frowned, not knowing what to say.Nicholas stood leaning against the wal
Nicholas picked up his phone and said coldly. “Bring that Mona to me!”…When Nicholas’ men found her, she was recording an entertainment show.She made all kinds of silly poses in front of the camera. Apart from the pretentious screams, she could not do anything else. She could not even memorize the script.The directors frowned and looked at each other helplessly.“That’s all for now!” Finally, one of them could no longer take it and asked to cut the recording. Her agent went to her quickly to powder her face.However, when she was having her lipstick reapplied, a force pulled her. A mark from the lipstick was dragged on her face.“What’s this?” She panicked. “Who are you? What are you doing!?”The scene was chaotic.The few men in black were expressionless. They grabbed Mona on each side and dragged her out.“Ah, help me—” She shrieked with all that she could. “Where are you from? Are you kidnapping me in broad daylight!?”One of the men said coldly, “Ms. Adams, N asked y
Mona was tossed into a dark and cold room.She was crawling all over the floor when she suddenly touched a leather shoe. The chilliness scared her, and she screamed.The light in the room was turned on. It was glaringly bright.Only then did she see what was around her.Nicholas sat in the middle. His expressionless muscular underlings surrounded him.Meanwhile, Nicholas was like the Devil that walked out of hell. The killing intent in his eyes was so scary that nobody dared to look straight at him.Mona was dumbstruck. She could not say a word.He was playing with a dagger in his hand while revealing a cunning grin at the corner of his lips. “Ms. Adams, I guess you haven’t heard… My wife had a miscarriage!”Mona was shaking, her face pale.“What exactly happened that night? Are you not going to tell me the truth?”“Mr. Thompson, I…”She was stuttering. She could not say anything.Nicholas handed the dagger to Ian. He lifted it and cut her face directly!“Ahh—”The woman’
