She said anxiously to Scott, “That black SUV and the Audi left one after the other. I think there was a woman with the men as well. Do you think Eva could be in that car instead?”Scott frowned when he heard Rose’s words.“Why didn’t you mention something so important earlier?”He sounded a little sharp, and Rose was unhappy with this tone. Frowning, she replied a little coldly, “I was frightened silly at the time and didn’t think about it. I only just remembered seeing it.”“Forget about it.”Scott waved it off. “There’s no time to argue about this. We have to inform Nathan immediately.”“Alright.”Rose quickly picked up her phone to call Nathan.When the call got through, she told Nathan what she had just shared with Scott. Nathan frowned. “Did you manage to see the license plate number?”The license plate number.Rose felt her heart sink.She did remember the number, but she did not want to tell it to Nathan.Eva must not return!Rose struggled with this and took a deep
Big trouble?Nathan turned to look at Antoine in bewilderment. “Who exactly is Jason?”“He’s a powerful man.”Antoine said to Nathan grimly, “The Pauls are very powerful in France, and they have strong connections in the government and the underworld. They’re known for being cruel and despicable. They show no mercy.”All they were interested in were gains and profits.Nothing was important to the Pauls but money and power.They had no sympathy.That family was made out of a bunch of vicious wolves incapable of humane feelings!Nathan frowned. “Is there any way of finding them?”“There is.”Antoine thought about this before continuing, “I know a place. Jason purchased a grand castle in Paris a few years ago. If I’m right, he should be there.”He must be there!Nathan was slightly relieved. There was a burning look in his eye.Eva was taken in Paris, and Jason’s men would not be able to move her anywhere farther within a short time. Moreover, Jason was powerful enough for th
Nathan's and Antoine’s hearts sank when they heard Jason’s tone and saw the expression on his face.Was he really unaware of what happened or was he pretending?Jason said to them, “I haven’t heard about this at all. Why not step into my castle for now, Mr. Langley? I’ll make sure to look into this.Nathan stared at him and remembered the woman who was with him, Sally Craven.Eva’s abduction must have something to do with Sally. Jason must know something about it.He decided to let it be for now and enter the castle.Nathan agreed and was about to go in when Antoine came next to him. He wanted to go in with Nathan.He glanced at Antoine and immediately understood.Antoine was worried that Nathan would be in danger if he entered the castle. If both of them were there, Jason might be more cautious.Jason saw that Nathan did not move and he could not help sniggering. “What’s wrong? Is my castle not good enough for you?”“That’s not the reason.”Nathan replied with indifference,
Nathan looked warily at Gabriel. He was very tall and was six foot two. There was something chilling about him, and even Nathan felt some jitters when near him.Gabriel was not a man; he was a killing machine.Nathan looked at Gabriel carefully, and Gabriel did the same as he observed Nathan silently. Nathan’s men were already in the lake, but they were quietly floating as Nathan had not given them the next orders. The lake was freezing, but Nathan’s men did not look like they intended to get out of it. Gabriel was quietly impressed at how Nathan was able to control his men so well.Gabriel looked at the castle in the middle of the lake coldly. There was a murderous look in his eye, and he stood out, particularly in the night.A chill went down Nathan’s spine as he frowned.“What does Wanda Emerson mean by this?”Gabriel glanced at Nathan stoically and said without emotions, “Aunt Wanda said that you won’t be able to do anything to Jason here. You’ll only be going to your death
Antoine nodded with trepidation when he heard Nathan’s words.He had not noticed Gabriel and his men arriving as Antoine had been busy fighting at the front with his own men. There would have been no way for Antoine to get out of this alive if Gabriel had chosen to attack him instead.Fortunately, Gabriel was on their side.The Pauls were a troublesome family to deal with. They were very powerful, and if there was no need to fight them face-to-face, Antoine was more than willing to step back. He quickly got his man to retreat.Antoine could not help biting his lip when he saw Gabriel’s tall and towering figure.“That’s a top-notch killing machine.”“Exactly.”Nathan replied to Antoine as he waited anxiously. There were exclamations coming from the bodyguards in the castle, and it took only a few minutes for their voices to completely disappear.Both Nathan and Antoine were shocked.Gabriel’s towering figure appeared once more in front of them. His expression was cold and emoti
Nathan and Antoine did not give up. They searched every corner of every room and even looked through small storage areas and the garbage area.However, they found nothing!Everyone gathered in the castle’s lobby. Nathan and Antoine looked stoic while their men kept reporting that they did not find anything.Where was Eva hidden?Antoine leaned in close to Nathan and said in a low voice, “Could your intel be wrong, Langley? Mrs. Langley might not be in this castle at all.”What he meant to say was that Eva might not have been kidnapped by Jason.Jason was from the Pauls, and they were known for their cruel tactics. All they cared about was profit. However, Jason was not someone who would deny something he had done.If he had really taken Eva, he would admit it and begin negotiations.Nathan looked at Jason standing, who was standing there with a cold look on his face. He said to Antoine, “I believe Gabriel’s intel.”If Wanda said Eva was here, she must be here.It was a strang
Her father and uncles were in prison because of Eva. She was the reason why the Pileggis were destroyed. Bitch! Eva Lane was a bitch!The more Sally thought about it, the angrier she was. She leaned in close to Eva and pushed the dagger against the vein of her neck.A chill went through Eva at the cold sensation of the dagger. The thought of her dying and leaving the children without a mother and the image of how sorrowful Nathan would look made her tear up. Tears began streaming down her face.She did not want to die here, and she was scared.Sally was delighted to see Eva this way. “Are you scared? Are you so scared that you’re crying, bitch? Hahaha! Serves you right, Eva Lane!”She kept moving the dagger around Eva’s neck. The sensation of the cold blade made Eva clench her fingers tighter. Sally seemed to be enjoying this as she said gleefully, “I’m going to savor my revenge on you, Eva Lane. Believe me, I’ll make sure you enjoy a slow death.”“It could be a year, three years
Eva watched the dagger flash coldly in front of her. She clenched her teeth. Even though her arms and wrists were tied up, she could still move.She quickly dodged from the dagger and fell rolling to the floor.Eva felt intense pain in her legs and butt, but she ignored it. She had used every ounce of energy inside her to dodge the dagger. She was gasping for breath.She managed to evade it.There was a vicious look in Sally’s eyes. She lunged at Eva once more with the dagger.She would not let Eva off!It was right then that a flurry of footsteps could be heard coming from above. Judging by the sound, it was not Jason!The footsteps were coming close, and hope appeared on Eva’s face as there was a chance that she could be rescued. Sally looked at Eva coldly with clenched fists.“I’ve been waiting too long for this chance, bitch. I have to kill you tonight!”After that, she took out her dagger and lunged at Eva. The sharp blade came closer to Eva, and Sally was about to stab h
