My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 168

“Are there any updates?” Amelie asked anxiously after getting into the car.

“I’m not sure yet.” Samuel frowned.

The car was moving forward, but Amelie didn’t know where it was heading. With a heavy heart, she fastened her seatbelt quietly and didn’t ask where they were headed.

When Samuel turned around, he noticed that her lips were pursed and she seemed to look very worried. “They managed to track Bria, so she should still be in the city. We will be able to find her easily as long as she hasn’t left,” he comforted her.

Hearing that, Amelie nodded quietly. She knew that he was trying to make her feel better. However, she felt helpless from not knowing the person’s motive, and she didn’t know whether they would hurt Bria or not. Praying to God seemed to be the only thing to do right now as there was nothing else she could do. The helplessness that she currently experienced wasn’t even comparable to the desperate moments she had experienced in the Alston Family.

After a while, she managed to pull herself together and asked, “Where exactly did they find traces of her?”

Before Samuel could answer her, the car came to a halt. “Here,” he answered while pointing his

finger.

“Here?” Amelie looked toward the direction where he pointed. She thought it would be a slum and was surprised to see luxury buildings right in front of her.

“Urban Garden?” The name seemed rather common, but it was a place where the richest gathered. Moreover, it was situated in the city center. Clouson City was a first-tier city and highly populated, but the land was scarce to a point where prices became sky-high.

Meanwhile, Urban Garden was situated right in the middle of the city, and it consisted of stunning multi- story mansions. Each mansion was separated by roads and large patches of gardens. It was as luxurious as it could get.

“Are you sure this is the place?” she asked doubtfully. Although they weren’t sure why Bria had been taken away, anyone in their right mind wouldn’t have chosen to hide somewhere like that. Amelie couldn’t help but look over at Samuel. He frowned, seemingly having the same thoughts as her..

“Let’s go over there and take a look,” he finally said after meeting her gaze. With that, both of them followed behind Samuel’s men and were brought to the main entrance of the Urban Garden.

Just then, someone came out hurriedly and brought them some good news, “We have

“Are you sure?” Amelie repeated after him when she heard the good news, and her eyes welled up

in tears.

“Quick, lead us there!” Amelie suddenly felt more energetic and rushed over delightedly. She wished that she could see Bria the next second.

On the other hand, Samuel and his man seemed cautious. “Be careful and make sure that you don’t alarm the person inside to ensure Bria’s safety.” Both of them reminded her simultaneously as they followed behind her.

“Okay!” Soon, the three of them stood below Unit 22. A few men dressed in black suits stood there with solemn expressions as well. All of them bowed at Samuel respectfully upon seeing him. The leader of

the pack pointed upward, held up five fingers, and pointed to the left. Amelie was able to understand their sign language.

Although she was anxious, she knew that Bria’s safety was the top priority. With that in mind, she walked to the back of the group and stayed there. Samuel followed along as they entered the lift. It only took the lift a few seconds to arrive at the unit, but to Amelie, it felt like a century had passed. Her heart was pounding as fear and anticipation surged within her. She tried to keep herself together by biting her lips.

Finally, they got to the front of the unit where Bria was confined. She dared not make a noise and was so nervous that it almost felt like her heart had stopped pumping when she stood in front of the door. One of Samuel’s men looked through the peephole several times and turned back, looking at Samuel as he waited for the man’s instructions.

Seeing that, Samuel pursed his lips and nodded. The next moment, the man kicked the door

open.

“Do not move! Get down!” Samuel’s men yelled after getting in. Amelie started getting nervous as

she entered the room.

There were only two people in the room; one of them was sitting on a chair while the other sat on the floor. A middle-aged woman was startled by the commotion, and she started screaming while covering her head. Meanwhile, a child was sitting on a chair.

Fear flashed across the child’s eyes for a brief moment as she looked on sluggishly. The next moment, her eyes lit up.

“Brial” Amelie instantly recognized the child and rushed over without hesitation to hug her.

“Who are you, and how dare you break into private property?” The middle-aged woman finally calmed herself down and yelled at Amelie cautiously. The woman even stretched both her hands out, trying to snatch Bria back. However, she didn’t dare do so when she noticed that she was being surrounded by so many men.

The woman was startled by his actions and started trembling with fear. She shook her head profusely and said, “There isn’t anyone else. It’s just me and the child. What are you trying to do?”

Samuel merely stared at her quietly. The woman was terrified when she saw how hostile Samuel looked, not to mention the men in black suits surrounding her while holding weapons in their

hands.

“I’m just doing my job. The one you should look for is my employer.” Tears started rolling down her cheeks.

“Who is your employer? Samuel asked.

Although Amelie wanted to find out who brought Bria there, she was more afraid that something else might come up. Thus, she carried Bria in her arms and said, “Bria, let’s go home now!”

With that, she turned around and left. When she got to the door, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from the corridor. The footsteps were quick and heavy. Amelie sensed that something was wrong and immediately tightened her embrace around Bria while her expression turned pale.

The

group of people entered quickly, and within seconds, everyone in the room was surrounded. Amelie looked up, and her eyes met with another man’s murderous gaze. The man standing in front of her was tall and had an elegant yet sublime disposition. She could tell that he was a man of few words.

“L-Leo?” Amelie whispered, feeling glad. Luckily, they weren’t the people who abducted Bria.

But before Amelie let her guard down, the woman suddenly called out, “Sir! These people broke into the house, and I’m not sure why!” The woman sitting on the floor rushed over as if her savior had appeared.

“S-Sir?” Amelie was startled to hear the woman’s words, whereas Samuel cast a puzzled gaze upon hearing that.

“That’s right, he is my employer. Sir, you should call the police since they broke into private property,” the woman exclaimed. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Hearing that, Leo furrowed his brows while his expression turned grave. While ignoring the woman, he landed his gaze on Amelie and the child in her arms.

Soon after, Amelie seemed to have understood the situation and scoffed. “Mr. Alston, what a show you have put on. You swore that you didn’t take Bria, yet you did it behind my back. What exactly are you trying to do?” Amelie’s blood boiled as she questioned him. At the same time, her heart sank.

When she saw Leo hitting the courier, she thought that he cared for Bria and was worried about

than she thought!

He stood opposite her. He wanted to explain, but she refused to listen. As she carried Bria in her arms, she sneered while saying, “Mr. Alston, I will not let you off that easily!” She left the room right after that.
