Chapter 338
Janet was the victim of the kidnap, so the cops took her words seriously, as they were solid pieces of evidence to
help solve the case.
Chief Chase turned to the said cop with a serious expression. “Continue the interrogation and dig out the truth! This
is simply atrocious of them to kidnap Ms. Smith in broad daylight!”
After Janet was done recording her statement, Russell immediately brought her home.
The day was breaking as the first light of dawn peeked out over the horizon.
With her exceptional hacking skills, Ashlyn had managed to get her hands on the files for Janet’s case.
According to the records, the criminals did not ask for any ransom, and there was only this fat man who tried to
rape Janet.
In fact, when Ashlyn broke into the room, the other men were all fast asleep and only one was awake to patrol the
place.
This is a weird kidnap case.
Usually kidnappers were either employed to murder, or they just want the ransom. Either way, they all do so for
money.

They will release Janet on the day after tomorrow...
Unable to think further, Ashlyn closed the file and left to take a shower.
Tomorrow would be the D-day for the Gala Night. Ashlyn desperately needed a good sleep to keep herself fresh for
the event.
By the time Ashlyn woke up, it was already 4 PM.
She reached for her phone on the table and realized there were quite a few missed calls, all from Pierre and the
other co-producers.
Ashlyn checked her WhatsApp immediately, which was bombarded by messages from the co-producers and the
performers.
She decided to call Pierre first. “Hello.”
On the other side, Pierre raised his brows at her hoarse voice. “Ms. Berry, are you still in bed?”
“I just woke up. Why?” Ashlyn narrowed her eyes. Her brain was still groggy after waking up.
“We have all arrived at the Concert Hall for the final rehearsal. Any suggestions or changes you would like to make
before the performance?”
“Oh, ok. Give me half an hour and I’ll be there.” Ashlyn hung up the phone and replied to her messages before
getting out of bed to wash up.
Within a matter of minutes, she was done washing up.
After applying some moisturizers and lotions, Ashlyn took her bag and exited her room.
She had just reached the ground floor when she found a whole hill of gifts piled up in her living room.
Confused by the situation, she turned to Harrison and Anderson, who were munching on some peanuts. “Where are
all these gifts from?”
Anderson looked up, and his eyes lit up at the sight of his gorgeous Boss. He then tossed his pack of peanuts aside
and ran up to Ashlyn. “Boss! These are all gifts from the Smith family.”
“The Smith family?” Ashlyn raised her beautiful brows.
“Yes! Because you’ve saved Ms. Smith from the kidnappers, so Mr. Smith is very grateful for your help. He almost
groveled before us while expressing his gratitude. This is not all; he even gave each of us a cheque with a
handsome amount!”
Harrison uttered with his legs crossed.
“Cheque?” Ashlyn replied in amusement.
“Yes! He said he wants to thank us for our hard work in saving his granddaughter.” Harrison munched on another
peanut as he spoke.

due to start at 7 PM. Remember to bring the boys to the show. I’ll leave the tickets here.”
Ashlyn then took out a stack of tickets and placed them on the table.
“Goodness! There are at least a few dozen here!” Anderson exclaimed.
“Well, I’m the director of the event after all. Getting this mere stack of tickets is nothing for me.” Ashlyn raised her
brows lightheartedly and turned to leave. “See you guys later. Dress yourselves properly. Don’t embarrass me in
my event, ok?”
“Don’t worry, Boss! We will dress up nicely and keep our manners.” Anderson and Harrison noted with a fawning
smile while sending Ashlyn off.
They waited until Ashlyn left in her Land Rover before returning to the house.
The moment they stepped indoors, though, the two of them turned to each other and smacked their thighs. “Oh,
goodness! We got distracted by our Boss!”
“Yes! We’ve forgotten about the Berry Furnishings stuff!”
“Err... well... maybe we can report to her later after the Gala Night.”
“No... I think it’s best to wait till tomorrow. The National Day Gala Night will only end at 12 midnight.”
“Alright.”
With that, the siblings continued munching on their peanuts while watching TV.
