At that moment, Henrick just woke up from having his lights punched out.
When he heard the sounds in front, he banged on the trunk lid above his head. He yelled, “Who is it?
Who’s sitting in front? Do you know who I am? Let me go right now, or you will suffer the
consequences!”
Given how ferocious Henrick sounded, Teddy cringed in fear.
Nigel pulled his son into his embrace and sneered, “Henrick, you have been taken prisoner. How do
you intend to make anyone pay?”
The trunk fell into a momentary silence before a vengeful voice rang out. “It’s you! How dare you
kidnap me! Who gave you the gall to do this? Do you want to die? Do you know how well connected I
am in Jadeborough?”
Nigel chuckled. “Obviously, I’m not capable of it. Instead of berating me, why don’t you go to sleep and
quietly wait for your punishment.”
“F*ck!” Henrick went on to swear non-stop.
Teddy was scared in the beginning. However, after getting used to it, he fell asleep amidst the
vulgarities.
At the same time, Josee too had fallen asleep. Not wanting to disturb both of them, Nigel didn’t argue
with Henrick any longer.
Considering how hot it was inside the trunk, Henrick’s throat began to dry after his tirade. He also found
it increasingly difficult to breathe.
With that, he was forced to calm down instead.
The Lowes can’t afford to buy a car. Hence, this car must belong to the one responsible for kidnapping
me.
Trying hard to recall what happened, Henrick finally remembered how he lost consciousness.
It was a group of unidentified bodyguards. But who do they belong to?
No matter how hard he tried, Henrick couldn’t think of any enemies that would kidnap him from his
home to kill him
Can it be Cindy and Matthias?
Just when the thought crossed his mind, the car suddenly stopped.
A familiar voice rang out. “Let the man in the trunk out to get some fresh air.”
“Right away!”
The next moment, the trunk lid opened. All Henrick could see was a jarring light that hurt his eyes.
Once his eyes adjusted to the light, he opened them at once.
He quickly realized that he was at a rest stop on a highway back to Jadeborough.
My kidnapper wants to take me back to Jadeborough! Why?
“Let go of me! Or else, I’ll call the police!”
However, the bodyguard who opened the trunk behaved as if he didn’t hear a thing. Instead, he lit a
cigarette while keeping an eye on Henrick.
“Who are you? Tell me who is the one that kidnapped me?”
After stubbing out his cigarette, the bodyguard gave him the side-eye before closing the trunk.
Right before the trunk was closed, he caught a glimpse of a figure which he found extremely familiar.
Arielle… But, how is that possible? I have kicked her out of the house a long time ago. Even if she
hated me, there’s no way she is capable of something like that given her timid disposition. I must have
made a mistake.
“Whoever’s outside, can you hear me? Let me out!”
However, the only response he got was the sound of the car driving off.
With no one to talk to him along the journey, Henrick grew frustrated. At the same time, a sense of
horror began to creep into him.
“Please, I beg of you. Isn’t it enough that I gave you your salary? I’ll pay you everything with the interest
included as long as you let me go!”
Unfortunately, his pleas fell on deaf ears.
Gradually, Henrick didn’t have any energy left and drifted in and out of sleep for the rest of the journey.
