Ashton had no choice but to recount the factory's current situation to the person on the other end of the line. When he finished speaking, he immediately expressed his loyalty and explained, "I am where I am today because of your guidance, Ma'am. "I aim to be successful in my career to earn your respect. As for that man, I'll personally bring him in and present him to you."I had the chance earlier, but I was afraid the bullets might hit him or ruin his face. That's why I missed the opportunity. I'll definitely send him to you, Ma'am!""Ashton, do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You expect me to save you now that you're in danger."Ashton felt intense pressure as he listened to the woman's voice. He nervously wiped his sweat away. "Do you have any pictures?" the woman asked."Yes, I'll send them to you."Ever since Ashton learned about this person from Gordon, the former had sent people to follow Benjamin. However, they only managed to snap two photos of Benjami
"Stop it!"Victoria lifted her head to look Ashton in the eyes. Her expression was solemn, her gaze piercing and determined.It was indeed different from the submissive persona she had projected before. At that moment, she exuded a commanding presence. Upon hearing her stern voice, Ashton froze on the spot.Victoria continued, "If you guys have no intention to kill Benjamin and Ethan, then stop hurting us. If you provoke them, even if your rescuer arrives, the days ahead will likely be tough for you. "Ashton, leave a way out for yourself. Given your current situation, you'd better not push things too far!"Ashton stared at Victoria. Under her piercing gaze, he awkwardly withdrew his foot and barked, "Sooner or later, you'll face the consequences!"Ashton was confident that if Benjamin were someone the woman had been looking for, she would never spare Victoria. After all, Benjamin was the woman's man. While he always had women around him, if she were to find out … Suddenly,
Victoria opened her eyes and looked at Sienna.She looked gloomy and obsessive.Sienna laughed out loud and tore away the cloth stuffed in Victoria's mouth.She said, "Should I say that you're easy-going or you're just used to living in terrible conditions?"How can you even sleep like this? Did you sleep well?""It's not bad, thanks to you. It'd be even better if you could unshackle me."Victoria smiled as she shook her handcuffs and shackles. She did not show any unease or fear.Sienna hated seeing her like that. Her gaze was burning with hatred.Victoria said, "I really don't understand you, Sienna."You've always wanted to marry Ethan, and he finally agreed to it. Why are you still doing all this to ruin everything?"You have always been smart and goal-oriented. This is unlike your style. You truly are mad!"Sienna sat down close to her and said, "You're right, I am mad! I've been driven crazy!"It's been six years already. I've been engaged to him for six years."Do y
Sienna's lips curled up. Her melodious voice was laced with cruelty.She was provoking him.She didn't allow Ethan and the others to speak and immediately ended the call.…Outside, the rain had stopped. The fire in the factory building had also been extinguished.But the sky was still gloomy, and the wind was strong.It looked like the rain would pour again anytime soon.Benjamin and Ethan's expressions were even gloomier than the weather.They had an aura that deterred people from coming near them.The others didn't even dare to breathe loudly.Yves was indignant as he spoke, "Is this Ashton some mole rat? He's digging around everywhere, why isn't he living underground yet?"Nobody said a thing.At this moment, Ethan's phone vibrated.Ethan unlocked his phone to have a look.His eyes widened in both surprise and anger.Benjamin rushed over and disconnected the phone's power bank.He also saw the photo and video that Sienna had sent over.He immediately looked up the
The call concluded, leaving Sienna seething with jealousy and a fire burning within her.Frustratedly, she snatched the phone from Walter and flung it toward Victoria's face.Victoria swiftly dodged the airborne device, but a realization struck her in that dance of evasion.Adjusting her posture, the phone missed her face but struck her body, prompting a pained grunt.Despite this, Sienna wanted more.She glared at Victoria, resentment in her expression."Why didn't I just tie you up and throw you into the lab to be blown to pieces?"Ashton, catching the meaning behind Sienna's words, walked up behind her. "You knew about their plan? You knew they would blow up my lab?"Sienna turned around and glared at Ashton. Although she didn't say anything, her expression seemed to convey, "So what if I did?"Ashton clenched his fists, suppressing his anger. Sienna stared at Victoria, her eyes burning with hatred, resembling a cold, venomous snake."Victoria, Ethan, and I can no long
Ashton didn't want anyone to know he became the leader because he was a substitute.His lips remained sealed. Such actions undoubtedly confirmed Sienna's suspicions."Why do you think my aunt would fulfill my wish and kill Victoria?" Victoria and Sharon were sitting together, and upon hearing this, they perked up their ears.Ashton chuckled awkwardly. He said meaningfully, "You will know once Ma'am arrives. She will definitely fulfill your wish because it's also her desire!"Victoria looked at Ashton's face, which resembled Benjamin's, and thoughts swiftly crossed her mind. At this moment, a video call from Benjamin came in.Sienna reluctantly accepted the call and handed the phone to Victoria. "Just one minute."Victoria took the phone without hesitation and glanced at Sienna unabashedly. "Benjamin, Sienna's aunt is coming. Have you ever dealt with her?"Through the screen, Victoria earnestly observed Benjamin. Her gaze seemed to ask if he knew someone named Jackalyn.In V
Victoria's hands and feet were once again chained.Sienna glanced at Victoria and pointed at Sharon, threatening, "During the video call, if you utter a single word out of line, I'll have someone chop off one of her fingers!""Sienna, do you know what her relationship with Ethan is?" Sharon questioned.\Sienna's eyes flickered, denying, "I don't know."Victoria smirked ambiguously. Full of sarcasm, she said, "You seem genuinely attached to Ethan, don't you?"Enraged, Sienna retorted, "Victoria, spare me your cryptic remarks. Once my aunt arrives, your time is up!""I'll be waiting," Victoria replied confidently.After instructing and warning Walter, Sienna left with Ashton.Victoria rolled her eyes before closing them as she watched them leave.Nearly half an hour later, just before Benjamin's call, she opened her eyes and said weakly, "I feel terrible."On high alert, Walter stared at Victoria, "Don't play tricks.""I'm in pain."Victoria's face turned pale, sweat dripped
Ashton's underlings did not hesitate. They placed their phones on the ground and ran out the other way.Victoria turned to look at Walter's men. "Strip down to your boxers and raise your hands. Go and squat at the side!"Walter was furious. "What kind of request is that? If you want their phones, then just take them. Why do you want them to strip?"Victoria placed her hands on the trigger. "Do as I say!"Walter flinched and shouted, "Didn't you hear what she said? Do as she says!"Everyone placed their phones and guns on the ground. Then, they began to strip down to their boxers. They squatted in a corner of the room with their hands on their heads.Victoria turned to Sharon and said, "Aunt Sharon, pick up all the phones and guns on the ground. Walter, where is your phone? Aunt Sharon, search him."Sharon did as Victoria had instructed and began patting Walter down. She soon found two phones.She also found a bag to collect all the guns and phones."I've already done as you as
