Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 247

At Bollinger Gardens, the doorbell for Unit 1002 of Block 3B kept ringing, but no one was answering the door. Alexander checked the time. She’s yet to return home at such a late hour? he thought. Immediately, he took out his cell phone and called Elise. “Sorry, the number you’ve dialed is not reachable…” Alexander knitted his brows as he dialed another phone number. “Is Elise still at the studio?” Brendan had just arrived home and was changing into his slippers on the porch when he got a phone call from Alexander.

 

Recalling that Elise’s office was brightly lit when he left the studio, he replied, “She was still in the studio when I left, but she’s supposed to have gone back at this hour. Why not give her a call if you’re looking for her?” “Her cell phone is switched off,” Alexander said before hanging up. Brendan was left confused. Elise’s cell phone is switched off? Well, it’s probably run out of juice, he thought. The next second, however, he recalled something and had a bad feeling.

As he couldn’t be bothered to put on his shoes, he ran out right away in his slippers. Meanwhile, Alexander drove to the studio, but there was nobody in the spacious studio at this very moment. When Alexander found the security guard at the entrance, he asked, “Did you see a lady coming out of here?” The security guard thought for a moment before he answered, “Are you talking about the lady in the studio opposite? Come to think of it, it’s strange that I didn’t see her today, but she’s probably still inside. Usually, she’d be gone by this hour.” Alexander looked back at the studio. For some reason, he panicked a little deep down inside.

When he walked to the studio, he found that the door was locked. He then called out to Elise, but there was no answer. Just then, Brendan arrived in a hurry. “Did you find Elise, Alexander?” Alexander asked, “Did you see her?” Brendan shook his head repeatedly. Then, he said, “Could something have happened to her?” Alexander was astounded. He asked, “What happened?” Brendan then told him about what had happened that morning regarding Maeve. “I should’ve stopped her from clashing with Maeve’s manager. Maeve’s got connections in the underworld.

Could they have abducted Elise?” Alexander’s hands quietly clenched into fists. “Let’s hurry up and look for her. It’d be best if that woman had nothing to do with this. Otherwise… I’d never let her off.” His words reeked of such murderous intent that even Brendan couldn’t help but shudder in fear. As he couldn’t care less about everything else, he turned around and started making phone calls to search for Elise. … Elise was being tossed up and down when she regained consciousness. She sensed that her hands and feet were tied, and she couldn’t move at all.

Not only that, but she couldn’t stretch her legs as there was a vague hint of numbness in them. With the benefit of hindsight, she realized that she probably had been kidnapped. But who kidnapped me? she wondered. She tried to struggle, but she couldn’t summon up her strength at all. Just then, a creepy male voice sounded. “That b*tch’s awake.” Elise immediately stopped what she was doing, and she dared not even breathe.

“It’s even better that she’s awake. After all, I don’t wanna do that kind of thing to a dead woman. At least it’s more fun to have our way with her like this…” “Haha… You’re right. How much time’s left before we reach our destination?” “Calm down, will you? We’ll arrive in a few more minutes. Are you that impatient already?” “Oh, you bet I am. This lady’s a stunner. Well, we’re lucky to be able to have our way with her today…” The few men laughed as they looked at each other.

Elise trembled with rage when she heard the men’s unbearably lewd remarks. However, she was gagged with a piece of fabric, so she couldn’t make a sound even if she wanted to. Therefore, she could only try to untie the rope around her hands. Just then, the car jolted, causing Elise to bump her head against the trunk lid. As she gasped in pain, she sensed that the car seemed to be headed for somewhere increasingly remote, and her heart instantly sank. Now I can only try to save myself. The car slowly drove up to the entrance of an abandoned factory and stopped.

Elise’s eyes darkened at once. She said right away, “Just name your price. How much do you want? I can give however much money you want as long as you guys let go of me.” However, the men burst out laughing upon hearing her words. “You’re still clueless at this point, huh? We’re not doing this for money. It’s just that you offended someone, so we’re just carrying out that person’s order to make sure that you won’t live to see the next day.” They’re not doing this for money? Elise was somewhat nervous deep down inside. Nevertheless, she asked, “Are you gonna kill me then? It’s against the law to commit murder, you know?” The man replied arrogantly, “Haha! Against the law? Could the law punish us?
