Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 318

Kidnanned

Ainsley did not say anything else. She looked around. The phone was still in her hand. Then she put the phone in a place where the driver could not see it and secretly made a phone call.

However, she failed after making two calls. She looked at the screen and discovered there was no signal.

She forgot that there would be no signal on the mountain.

Ainsley was very familiar with this mountain. At that time, Serina tricked her out to watch the fireworks with Manuel on the mountain. Ainsley did not expect that the second time she came over, she would be

kidnapped.

She heard the driver’s arrogant laughter, “I advise you to save your strength. No matter what you do, you can’t escape. There is no one else on the entire mountain. And there is no signal here.”

Ainsley did not say anything. Instead, she silently memorized the route. It was a round-the-mountain road. She remembered when she looked at her phone at the foot of the mountain, there was still a signal.

Suddenly, Ainsley thought of something and pretended to faint. “I’m so dizzy. Please slow down! Why can’t

the window open?”

The driver replied impatiently, “Shut up! You don’t have to know about it. Just endure it when you feel dizzy.”

Ainsley didn’t dare to speak again. She was afraid that the driver would slap her violently with impatience.

Soon, the driver stopped the car and knocked her unconscious.

At the same time, the Easton Group was in chaos.

When Matteo received a phone call, he replied with a dark face, “I’ll give you the money. Tell me when and

where to meet you.”

The man on the phone chuckled, and casually gave an address, “I’ll kill her if I can’t get the money at five

o’clock tomorrow.”

Ainsley had just woken up, and when she heard the kidnapper’s words, she shuddered.

When the kidnapper turned around and saw that Ainsley had woken up, he said, “I advise you to be obedient.

Otherwise, I will cut you in the face. If your face is disfigured, you will be ruined for the rest of your life.”

Ainsley rolled her eyes in her heart when she heard this. She pretended to be calm, saying, “You just want

money, right?”

The man laughed wildly, looking at Ainsley playfully. “Do you think that we only want money?”

We?

Ainsley realized that there were other people. Could it be Irene?

Ainsley had experienced this kind of thing several times. She felt that it was not that simple this time.

On the other hand, Matteo, who had been hung up, was gloomy. He said to the secretary next to him,

“Go check the location of the phone call just now and the location where Ainsley disappeared.”

Chapter 318 Where Is She?

Ainsley was brought to the mountain by the driver. When she woke up, she felt sore all over. The

coldness.

made her shiver.

The taxi driver did not lock her up. There was no place on the mountain that could withstand the heavy

rain.

The man simply set up a canopy and tied Ainsley to the tree.

She was forced to sit at the roots of the tree and the man tied her tightly to the roots with a rope.

The mountain roads that had been washed by the rain were covered in mud, and Ainsley’s entire body

was

soaked.

Being on high ground and attacked by the storm, she sneezed several times.

Ainsley wanted to break free, but she couldn’t.

“Don’t waste your energy.” The man said, wearing a raincoat. He looked at Ainsley mockingly.

He slowly walked in front of Ainsley and squatted down. He took out a cold dagger and slapped Ainsley’s

face with it twice. “Do you know what a hanging knot is?”

Ainsley did not answer and still wanted to break free.

“It seems that you really don’t know. Don’t struggle anymore. Don’t you realize that the more you

struggle, the tighter the rope will be? In the end, I’m afraid that you will strangle yourself to death.”

Ainsley’s heart trembled, not daring to move anymore.

There was a canopy, but because of the tree, Ainsley could not hide completely under the canopy. Her

back

which was pressed against the roots was already soaked.

She felt an unprecedented coldness. “What are you trying to do?”

“Don’t you know what I want to do? Didn’t you hear what I just said clearly? Stop pretending.”

“I mean, what else do you want other than money?” Ainsley continued expressionlessly.

The man smiled playfully. He smoked all year round, so his teeth were full of yellow spots. Ainsley could

even

see the dental calculus that was left behind by years of chewing food and not cleaning his teeth well.

He was very close to Ainsley, and his breath smell was disgusting.

Ainsley forced herself not to throw up. This kind of person who struggled to survive was probably most

sensitive about the dislike of others.

His hand holding the dagger slowly fell down. The man inserted the dagger into the ground and then

raised a hand to touch Ainsley’s cheek.

A chill climbed up Ainsley’s heart. She stared at the man in disbelief. “Don’t you dare!”

“What are you afraid of?” The man suddenly laughed, and he looked even more disgusting.

“Don’t you dare! I advise you to think it through. If you dare to touch me, I will die in front of you. I

guarantee that you will not be able to take a single cent.” Ainsley looked determined, swearing that what

she said was

not false.

“Do you really think I’m afraid?” The man suddenly clenched Ainsley’s chin and raised her head fiercely.

It was a gorgeous face. Unfortunately, her eyes were filled with determination.

“If not for money, do you think I would tolerate you?” He threw Ainsley’s face to the side.

Of course, it wasn’t all for money. He still remembered his instructions.

Emily had been sitting in a daze after work. She sat in the living room, her hand tightly gripping her

phone.

Outside, there was a heavy storm. She knew that Ainsley had already been brought to the mountain.

She was not sure if Matteo would pay, but she had no other choice.

She could not take out the money to compensate, so she could only listen to Irene.

The door was kicked open, and the loud sound made Emily’s body tremble. She looked at the person in

fear. It

was actually Matteo.

At this moment, his body was drenched in rain, and his eyes shone with a cold light.

Emily forced herself to calm down. “Matteo, you’re back. I, I’ll go get you a cup of hot tea.”

She picked up the cup on the table in a panic and was about to go to the kitchen when she was grabbed by

the wrist the moment she turned around.

“Matteo, you…”

“Where is she?” Matteo exerted force with his hand, and Emily’s wrist was pinched until it turned white.

Emily painfully tried to pull her wrist back from Matteo’s hand. “Matteo! I don’t know what you’re talking

about. Who is she?”

“Don’t play dumb. I know that you did this. I didn’t argue with you when you stole the proposal and gave it to the Wade Group. You made such a big mistake. Do you think the Easton family will let you go? Before I completely lose my mind, tell me what you did.” Matteo’s eyes were indifferent.

This was the first time Emily had seen this kind of gaze from Matteo. She had never seen Matteo with such a

terrifying appearance.

“Matteo, it hurts. Let go of me. I really don’t know what you are talking about.”

“Matteo, what are you doing?”

A deafening thunder woke Matteo up. Under the dazzling lightning, he saw Robyn coming.

She quickly walked over and separated their hands. Emily immediately shrank behind Robyn. “Mrs. Easton, help me. Matteo is crazy!”

“Mom, don’t stop me. I have something to ask her.”

“If you want to ask, just ask. I am here.” Robyn shielded Emily behind herself.

Matteo did not hide anything. He said coldly, “The one who stole the design of the company and gave it to the Wade Group was Emily. I did not tell anyone else about this. But today, Aisy was kidnapped on the way back. from work. Half an hour ago, the man called me for 50 million dollars.”

He looked at Emily again. “You did it, right?”

“Matteo! It really wasn’t me. Why would I do that? Even if I really wanted to hurt Ainsley, why would I ask for money from you? You are my cousin, and I have always respected you. How could I harm you?” Emily said in

a panic.

Robyn nodded in agreement. “Matteo, what Emily said was right. She grew up with you and would never do something like that to hurt you. Plus, she is working at the company now.”

“Heh, Emily, do you really think I don’t know? After the recording incident was exposed last time, Irene found you, right? If I’m not wrong, the price you needed to pay was compensation, or do something for her.” Matteo

looked at Emily as if he was looking at a fool.

Emily never thought that Matteo would actually guess everything, but the meeting between her and Irene was

very covert. How did he know?

“Why did I arrange you to a branch company instead of the headquarters? Do you really think that I just wanted you to stay away from me?” What Matteo did not say was that when he arranged for Emily to

enter

the branch company, he had already asked two people to watch Emily’s every move.

Coincidentally, they heard Emily’s conversation in the bathroom that day clearly.

Emily’s face was pale, but how could she admit it?

“Mrs. Easton, I really don’t know! Ainsley’s disappearance has nothing to do with me. You must believe me!” Emily pulled on Robyn’s sleeve and cried.
