Chapter 124: Kidnap
After another week, Kevin felt secure in leaving Emily at home. His mother generously sent her housekeeper, Mary, and a young girl to his house.
They know how to drive and are familiar with every corner of this city. The important thing is that they are not married, and have no daughter, younger sister, or older sister.
“Tomorrow, I’ll take you home to visit my parents. Don’t worry about anything.” Kevin reached out and gently pinched his wife’s cheek and spoke.
“Yes.”
Emily nodded and continued to eat breakfast. Kevin always ate faster than her and left the table before her.
Maybe it was because he had to go to the company, and she was at home, with nothing urgent to handle.
While eating, she thought about what gift to give her mother-in-law. Although Jessica doesn’t lack anything, she shouldn’t go there with empty hands.
When Emily went back upstairs, put on makeup, and changed clothes, the phone rang. She saw a strange phone number, but she still picked it up.
On the other end of the phone, a familiar voice rang out. It was Jennifer.
Jennifer asked Emily to meet her for a cup of coffee and chat, saying that she had heard her father talk about their relationship.
“Okay, then you go there first, I’ll be there soon.”
Suddenly having a younger sister, Emily couldn’t help but be happy. Even though the two of them had had some unpleasant things happen before, she would forget everything.
In the future, she will advise Jennifer, helping this girl get better every day.
Brian’s nature is not bad, so Emily believes that his sister, who shares blood with him, will also have similar characteristics to him, but she was pampered too much, so she became spoiled and arrogant.
Although Mary offered to take Emily, she refused, saying she would take a taxi.
Anyway, Jennifer said that after drinking coffee, the two of them would go shopping together and then Jennifer would take her home.
As soon as Emily entered the cafe, she saw the emotional face of her half-sister.
“Have you been here long?” Emily asked.
“I just arrived.” Jennifer replied.
The waitress quickly came over to ask questions and the two girls both ordered two glasses of orange juice, not coffee.
Emily heard Brian talk about Jennifer agreeing to work at the company and help her father and brother, so she felt very happy. Maybe it’s time for this girl to grow up.
“I wanted to meet you sooner but I was afraid so I kept procrastinating. Thank you for saving my brother. I’m sorry for what happened in the past. If we had recognized each other sooner, I wouldn’t have been so jealous and hurt you like that.” Jennifer burst into tears.
“It’s the past, I’m not angry with you anymore.”
The two girls enjoyed orange juice together, watched the cars on the road, and talked about Brian.
Jennifer said her brother recovered very well, and from yesterday he started going to the corporation to handle work.
After half an hour, both of them left the cafe and went to the car together to go to the shopping center.
Emily comfortably leaned back in the car seat, discussed this year’s new fashion trends with Jennifer, and then fell asleep without realizing it.
When she regained consciousness, she found herself tied to a chair, in an abandoned warehouse, dirty and desolate.
“Are you awake? This anesthetic has a very long-lasting effect.” Reid approached, gently touched the sharp knife to Emily’s face, and spoke.
“Who are you? Why did you arrest me? Where is Jennifer? What did you do to her?” Emily asked worriedly.
Reid burst into laughter, leaned into Emily’s ear, and whispered, revealing to her that Jennifer was the mastermind in this kidnapping.
Emily’s face turned pale and her whole body trembled. She didn’t expect that she considered Jennifer as her sister, yet Jennifer wanted to harm her. Turns out, there was something wrong with that glass of orange juice.
“Look at the sunlight one last time, as soon as she transfers the money to me, I will send you off to meet your father.” Reid retracted the knife, lit a cigarette, and spoke while smoking.
Emily knows clearly that only she can save her at this time. After thinking quickly and taking a deep breath to regain composure, she told Reid to call her husband and ask him to come to redeem his wife and she was sure Jennifer could not pay him more money than her husband.
“You said your husband is Kevin?” Reid threw away his cigarette, frowned and looked at her with suspicious eyes.
“Yes, we got married secretly because Daniel passed away not long ago. You can find his phone number on my cell phone. You should consider the pros and cons. If you kill me, I’m afraid that before you can use the money Jennifer gave you, you will be arrested. Attempted murder is a death penalty. And if you take my husband’s money and let me go, nothing will happen to you.”
“Well said, what if your husband calls the police?”
“So are you sure Jennifer will pay you as agreed? Dude, do you want to confirm again?”
Emily knows clearly that there is not much money in Jennifer’s bank account right now because she is still under the control and testing of Kent and Brian.
She only works and receives a monthly salary, so she doesn’t even have enough money to spend on clothes and cosmetics.
Seeing Reid looking worried, Emily told him to call Jennifer, say he killed the hostage and ask her to transfer money.
Before Emily woke up, Reid called Jennifer several times, asking her to pay before taking action, but Jennifer told him to take action first, and then send her photos before she paid.
Reid was also afraid of being cheated on by Jennifer, so he kept procrastinating.
“She asked me to send photos.” His voice trembled a bit.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
“See that red paint can in the corner? Create a fake crime scene.” Emily tried to smile, showing that she wasn’t afraid at all.
Reid quickly did as she was told, smearing paint all over her body and drawing a line across her neck.
Emily closed her eyes, tilted her head to let him take the picture, and waited with him for the results.
She knew he was in a panic, could do as she said but could also kill her immediately, even if he didn’t get anything in return, simply thinking of killing her to cover up the clues to escape.
“Jennifer, I killed her and sent you the photo. Please transfer the money to me.” Reid said as soon as he heard Jennifer’s voice.
“Reid, the initial money I gave you is all I have, now you quickly run away, wait until I earn more then I will transfer more money to you. Quickly leave there.” Jennifer’s urgent voice rang out.
Reid was so angry that he trembled, turning his bloodshot eyes towards Emily.
Emily had difficulty breathing but still tried to stay calm, telling him to call Kevin and ask Kevin for an amount of money enough for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life, without having to do these illegal things anymore.
“Dude, I want to live and I also want you to live, please, think about your loved ones.” Emily spoke gently.
Reid quickly took out Emily’s phone, asked for the screen unlock password, and then called Kevin.
The person on the other end of the phone quickly picked up the phone and when Kevin heard Reid demand a huge ransom, he immediately agreed but wanted to hear his wife’s voice first to make sure she was safe.
“It’s me, Kevin, bring money here, go alone, he just needs money, don’t call the police.”
“Yes, I know, wait for me, I’ll be there soon.”
The meeting was quickly postponed because the chairman left after going out to answer the phone. Following his orders, Sara quickly went with him to the bank to withdraw money, put it in a suitcase, and Venn informed the police.
The plan to rescue Emily was quickly implemented. Kevin drove ahead, while the police force followed closely behind and when approaching the scene, the police soldiers immediately landed and approached the target along the forest road.
Of course, Kevin’s car also slowed down to ensure that when he arrived, the ambushing police group was one step ahead.
Being tied up tightly for several hours made Emily extremely sore. Just when she thought she was about to faint, the tall figure of the man she loved appeared.
He was standing against the light so she could only recognize him by his figure but she couldn’t see his face clearly.
“Kevin.” She happily spoke up.
Seeing Emily covered in blood, Kevin just wanted to rush in and kill the guy holding a knife to her neck.
Kevin suppressed his pain, opened the suitcase of money, put it down in front of Reid, kicked it to the right, told him to go there and get it, and then go away.
Seeing him hesitate, Kevin immediately took out a match.
“One is to take the money and get out of my sight, two is that all three of us die together, and that money is considered votive paper.” Kevin smiled like a pervert, the fire in his hand quickly appeared.
“No, I will take the money and return your wife to you.”
Reid hurriedly ran towards the suitcase filled with money, hastily closing it. Kevin staggered to his wife’s side, crying as he untied her.
He should have brought her with him, not left her at home so she could have the opportunity to wander around and be harmed by bad people.
“It’s just paint, not blood, I’m not injured.” She reassured him because she saw him crying like a child.
There were loud noises outside, the sound of rapid footsteps, and Reid’s cursing.
Kevin didn’t pay attention, still attentively untying the rope and when the police group entered, he carried her in his arms and walked quickly towards the door.
Knowing that the hostage was not injured, the police group immediately informed the ambulance parked not far away to return.
“Bitch, you lied to me, damn it, what’s the difference between you and Jennifer, a bunch of scammers.” Reid tried to struggle and scream as the police escorted him into the car.
Emily didn’t want to waste words on Reid, so she remained silent, burying her head in her husband’s chest, feeling his racing heartbeat.
She thought he would scold her but no, he was still gentle and admitted all his mistakes, saying that he didn’t care enough for her, didn’t take care of her well, and was careless.
“Chairman, please take your wife home to shower, change clothes, and then go to the police station to give a statement.” The captain of the criminal police team approached them and said.
“Okay.”
The luxury car quickly turned around, left the wasteland, and drove back to the city center.
Kevin continued to stay silent until he carried his wife into the bathroom and he burst into tears again.
The moment he saw her body dyed red, he thought he had lost her forever. At that time, he only thought about dying with her after crushing that bastard.
