The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy

Chapter 495

Sean and Eliana had escaped from Gerald’s villa.

It was pitch dark outside but they could make out the silhouette of the car waiting for them. Sean pushed Eliana inside the car. He did it so fast that Eliana was not able to get a good look at the car.

Two burly men dressed in black were already in the car.

“Aileen!” Eliana blurted. She was worried about Aileen. “I need to know how she is. Let me call Maurice.”

She took out her phone and began to tap the dial pad.

“No! You can’t call him!” Sean then held Eliana’s hand to prevent her from using her phone.

“Why not?”

Eliana eyed Sean suspiciously. She now came back to her senses.

“Because… Because…” Sean was trying to think of a palatable excuse for Eliana. “Your phone… Your phone is being monitored!”

“Monitored?” Eliana was shocked.

“Yeah, they are keeping track of your movement. Using your phone will alert them of where you are. So turn off your phone, Miss Pierce. Now!”

Sean couldn’t believe how fast he had thought of an excuse. He was quite proud of his quick reaction. He let out a soft sigh.

Eliana was beginning to think that something seemed wrong.

She couldn’t put her finger on it just yet, but she felt that something was wrong from the very beginning!

Eliana closed her eyes and pictured the escape in her mind. That was it! The escape had been smooth… all the way!

Gerald warned her that he would watch her carefully. How could he be so lax in guarding her? And so, she was able to escape almost effortlessly.

And Aileen… if she was really ill, Maurice would tell her. Why didn’t he?

Something was really wrong with this escape. Maurice might not have anything to do with it. Maybe it wasn’t even him who sent these people.

Sean had no inkling that Eliana had already seen through his trick. Staring at Eliana’s phone, he insisted, “Miss Pierce, turned off your phone.”

Eliana was in a quandary and she didn’t know what to do.

She had to rack her brain for her next move. What should she do now?

She took a deep breath and began gathering her thoughts. Soon enough, an idea came to her.

“You’re right. I’ll turn off my phone right now!”

Eliana made a big show about turning off her phone. But she didn’t. When Sean wasn’t looking, she secretly called the emergency contact.

Maurice had told her that emergency contact was actually his personal phone numbers.

Eliana hoped that Maurice might come to save her when he saw the caller ID.

Alas, the dial pad lit up and one of the men in black took notice of it.

“She is calling someone! She is calling someone!”

The man who sat next to Eliana snatched the phone from her just as the call had been connected.

“Give my phone back!”

Eliana tried to wrestle the phone from the man who immediately hung up.

“It seems that you have thought of what had really happened.” Sean had changed his tone. He was no longer pretending to be nice. “Attempting to call for help? It’s too late for that now. You two keep an eye on her!” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Sean sat in the driver’s seat. He then stepped on the accelerator and drove the car.

Eliana started screaming as her hands were being tied by the two men.

“Who are you? What is it that you want with me?”

Eliana’s screaming irritated Sean. He looked at the rearview mirror, so he could see Eliana. “Will you shut up? Can’t you see that I’m driving?” Addressing the two men at the back seat, he barked, “Shut her mouth up!”

“And how are we going to do that?” one of the men asked in a slack tone. “We don’t have anything we can use to shut her up.”

This infuriated Sean all the more. He wouldn’t have to take these idiots if he had a choice. Maurice had been cruel and nearly dealt with all the men of his boss the last time.

Sean put his one hand in his pants’ pocket to take a handkerchief. “Here! Use this on her!”

He then threw the handkerchief at the two men. “Make sure to tie it over her mouth securely!”

The angrier Sean got, the more he forgot to disguise his voice.

Eliana could now recognize his voice. She knew who he was.

He was Gerald’s secretary!

So this was all Gerald’s doings!

Knowing the truth helped little. Her hands were tied and the two men were trying to cover her mouth with the handkerchief.

Eliana knew she had to think fast, and instantly, an idea occurred to her. “Wait!” she said in a voice that only the two men could hear.

She startled the two men. One of them snarled at her, “What’s wrong with you?”

“I just remembered something,” Eliana said in a tone that conveyed urgency. “I left something in my house. It’s invaluable. I must go back and take it with me!”

The two men’s eyes lit up when they heard the word ‘invaluable’.

One of the men in black asked suspiciously, “Really?”

“Of course, it is! Please let me go. I could sell it for a handsome price. I promise that I’ll divide the money I’ll get between the two of you,” Eliana said, trying her best to sound like she had to come back for an invaluable thing in her house.
