Chapter 18 How to Choose Between Two Women?
Crystal took a deep breath to calm her emotions.
She then said to Melora, “Don’t talk to me ever again. Not everyone has to be decorations for your love.”
Melora was too used to being pampered, and she had never been rejected before.
She kept bothering Crystal, determined to figure out why Crystal didn’t like her.
Just like that, with one in front and the other following behind, they entered an alley.
Crystal knew she couldn’t shake Melora off. She turned around to chase Melora away when she widened. her eyes the very next moment.
Someone had pushed Melora onto the ground from behind.
“That’s her! That’s Robert’s fiancee,”
“If we kidnap her, we can definitely get money from Robert!”
“There’s another woman here. Get her too. She might be worth some money as well.”
Before Crystal could shout, her vision turned black as she was stuffed into a sack and hauled into a car.
Eventually, Crystal woke up.
By the looks of her surroundings, she was in an abandoned warehouse. Her body was bound to the broken chair she was sitting on.
Beside her, Melora was tied up as well, and she sobbed while shouting, “Don’t you know who I am? My brother will send you to jail long enough that you’d turn into bones! Let me go!”
She kept shouting similar things.
A man who looked like a monkey found her too noisy, so he slapped her directly in the face.
“Shut up, or I’ll tear your clothes off!”
Melora sobbed even louder.
In truth, the man didn’t dare do anything to her, for he couldn’t afford to mess with the Millers, especially the lawyer named Henry Miller.
The man tossed a phone at Melora. “Call your man and get him to prepare three million. Make sure it’s not even a dime less! Also, tell him to come alone and don’t play any tricks, or I’ll make sure he regrets it!”
Melora was terrified.
As she took the phone, she dialed Robert’s number while sobbing.
The atmosphere was grave at the Miller Residence. Melora had been kidnapped, and the beautiful Julia was weeping worriedly.
Henry’s father, David Miller, was waiting for the phone call along with Henry and Robert.
David was seriously upset.
Those thugs were coming for Robert, so Robert had to take responsibility for this mess.
About two hours later, Melora’s call finally came in. She sobbed unceasingly over the phone, and she finally relayed everything the kidnapper requested for.
Robert comforted her gently.
On the other end of the line, Melora stopped crying as sweetness filled her heart again.
She knew that Robert loved her so much that he didn’t want to see her getting hurt, not even a little bit.
When they were about to end the call, a woman’s trembling voice sounded on the other end of the line. “Don’t touch me… Keep your hands off me!”
Robert’s hand shuddered while he held the phone. Needless to say, that voice was all–too–familiar to him.
It was Crystal!
Why would she be with Melora?
When Robert imagined those filthy hands possibly touching her body, he was so furious that he even wanted to commit murder!
However, when he looked up and met Henry’s gaze, he suddenly came to his senses.
Henry was shrewd. If Robert let anything slip, his long–term effort of getting involved with the Millers would be for naught! Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Robert himself knew that he was a despicable man.
He pretended not to recognize Crystal as he said to the kidnapper, “I’ll bring the three million. Don’t you dare touch my fiancee!”
When he said that, even he himself felt amazed.
After hanging up, Robert said to the Miller couple, “It’s my fault for overlooking things this time. Mr. and Mrs. Miller, don’t worry. I’ll bring Melora back in one piece.”
David nodded. He had a high opinion of Robert, after all.
With that, Robert drove away.
Only the Millers were left in the villa,
Julia was slightly reassured as she dabbed her tears away. She hesitated a little before saying, “I think I heard Miss Winters‘ voice just now. Did you hear it too, Henry?”
Henry already had his car keys in hand as he said calmly, “I’ll go have a look.”
