Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 426

Chapter 426 It’s Too Late

After the spine-chilling threat, Sonia didn’t dare to even move a muscle. Noticing her obedience, the kidnappers stopped threatening her and eased up on her. The next moment, she felt herself being lifted in the air, and she guessed she was being dragged into the van. Just like she expected, she immediately dropped to the ground as soon as the hands that were grabbing her ankles released her.

The vinyl sensation of car seats told her that she was in the backseat of a vehicle. At that moment, even her heart reacted to the dire situation by raising her pulse rate. Am I in a van now? Man, I can’t believe I’m being taken away by these people. At the thought of that, Sonia immediately shivered in fear because she didn’t want to be taken away by some strangers to some place she didn’t know. After all, it could end up terribly for her if she was taken to some remote and desolate place. I must run for my life! She sat bolt upright when those words showed up in her mind.

Nevertheless, Sonia’s plan was quickly thwarted by the grim reality when one of the kidnappers twisted her arm and restrained it right behind her back before pinning her on the seat. Feeling her skin rubbing against the rough cushion, she moaned in pain. “Ouch! Let go of me!”

Needless to say, Sonia’s words were ignored by her abductors, who then sealed her mouth with duct tapes. At that moment, Sonia could no longer talk like she did earlier. Soon, one of the kidnappers said, “That should do it. Now, let’s tie her up with the rope and get out of here before trouble catches up with us. The cops can be here anytime soon.”

“I know.” The other abductor responded just when Sonia felt her legs being bound by ropes.

On the other hand, Wanda endured the intense pain she suffered from the fall and got back on her feet to save Sonia from the van. However, she underestimated her own injury, as she was quite badly hurt from the fall. As soon as she tried to get up, she staggered backward and fell on her backside, hurting her tailbone in the process and aggravating her injury.

Knowing she was unable to save Sonia by herself in her current condition, she turned her attention to the people around her and begged them to do something. “Please save her, everyone! Please save Miss Reed! I’ll make sure Young Master Toby repays your kind favor! Don’t let them take her away!”

Since the two kidnappers were greatly outnumbered by the witnesses around them, Wanda believed that they could have saved Sonia’s life if they had interfered together. However, she forgot about the timid and indifferent nature among people in the modern unforgiving society as she realized they were just watching a show.

After all, they all backed away when they heard Wanda’s plea for them to step in and rescue Sonia. Some of them even left the scene, clearly showing their reluctance to help Sonia. Despite their sympathy for Sonia’s fate, they didn’t feel obligated to rescue her because they didn’t want to get themselves hurt. Deep down, they were all selfish for valuing their own lives more than that of the others.

In the meantime, Wanda felt an icy chill surging through her body when no one from the crowd was willing to lend a helping hand. Filled with disappointment and frustration, she pointed at them with her shaking finger. “You… How could you…”

As Wanda pointed at those people, they all turned around and avoided her gaze guiltily because they were also aware of their own indifference. In the end, Wanda could only watch the van leave as she sat on the floor and cried with a broken heart, blaming herself for failing to stop Sonia’s kidnap.

“President Fuller, it looks like something is going on up ahead. There is a huge crowd of people for some reason,” Tom commented as he set his eyes on the crowd in Toby’s Maybach.

In the meantime, Toby, who was never a busybody, somehow had a bad feeling at the sight of the crowd. Thus, when Tom was about to open the car door for Toby after pulling up not far away from the crowd, the latter exited the vehicle by himself. Then, he squinted at those people. “Please check out what’s going on.”
