Chapter 1124 There Might Be a Connection
“Nothing seems to have happened,” said Kieran, frowning with slight dissatisfaction. Suddenly, he paused to think for a few seconds. “Oh, wait, I remember something. If you must say, Tessa encountered trouble abroad after I had been kidnapped. However, I’m sure there’s nothing to do with it, right?”
Hearing his words, Tessa also thought that her encounter had nothing to do with Kieran’s kidnapping. On the contrary, she wondered whether Kieran’s friends were pulling a prank on him on purpose since he might have offended them. Thinking about it, she felt there might be a possibility, so she asked aloud, “Could it be that it’s your friends who are messing with you?”
“It… It might have been them.” As Kieran spoke, he thought about it and felt that what Tessa said might have been true. After all, there was a high chance that his fair-weather friends would do this.
Feeling that he had discovered the truth, Kieran immediately grabbed his phone, planning to interrogate each of his friends. However, before he could phone any of them, he heard Nicholas’ crisp voice.
“There might be a connection between these two matters.” As his words fell, Tessa and Kieran looked at him in surprise. Kieran was restless and demanded, “What do you mean by that, Nicholas?”
Although Tessa didn’t say anything, she was also looking at Nicholas anxiously in anticipation for him to explain his words.
Looking at them, Nicholas explained, “Just now, you said that Tessa had gotten into trouble not long after you were kidnapped. At that moment, Eunice was plotting against Tessa, and I was on my way back. I was going to leave Vienna but didn’t make it on time since you managed to escape quickly.”
Listening to his words, Tessa and Kieran had thoughtful expressions on their faces. After some time, Kieran thought about the key to Nicholas’ words and stared at him agape. “You are the one who kidnapped me?” Then, he mumbled to himself before anyone could say anything, “You make it seem like I’m being kidnapped, but in reality, you are using me as bait to bring you back from abroad. If that’s the case, that explains why they didn’t hurt me. After all, as a bargaining chip, I have to be unharmed.”
