The woman’s words were laced with a hint of provocation.
It happened to be poking at Benjamin’s weak spot at the same time. In the case of being infertile, women would feel like a failure, while men would feel ashamed as if being infertile meant they were weak in bed too.
Benjamin’s expression darkened.
“I’m going to the toilet.” The woman stood up with a smile and sashayed away in her high heels, which were clacking against the marble floor.
Boyce and one of his subordinates followed her from behind and laid in ambush outside the washroom. When the woman came out, they covered her mouth and dragged her away.
They managed to avoid the crowd and get her into the car soon after.
“Who are you…oh, it’s you.” The woman chided lowly. She saw Boyce’s face before she finished speaking, and she knew who he was. She knew he was on Matthew’s side.
The woman soon understood the situation and chuckled, “It’s useless to hold me captive. I don’t know where Benjamin hid the kid either.”
She pushed the blame to Benjamin. All of it.
“I’m just a woman who knows nothing. You guys better release me.” After she knew their intention of capturing her, she actually managed to calm down. After all, Joshua was in their hands. These people would not dare to harm her.
Boyce ignored her and asked his man to drive faster.
A moment later, they arrived at an abandoned building. When the car came to a halt, they dragged the woman out of it. As the road was uneven and filled with trash from the construction, it caused the woman to stagger her steps a little. She looked up and glared at the man who dragged her, “Are you looking for death?”
She was a feisty one.
Boyce blocked the woman’s line of sight and threatened her in a deep voice, “I’ll let you leave this place safely if you tell us Joshua’s whereabouts now, otherwise…”
“I told you I know nothing.” She emphasized each word.
“Well, you’re of no value then if you know nothing.” Boyce gave his subordinate a look, “Bring her in.”
His subordinate held the woman’s arms tightly and pushed her into the building.
“Let me go! It’s illegal to arrest me without a warrant!” She screamed.
Boyce clasped her chin so hard that she could not make a sound, “Scream later. You have all the time in the world to do that.”
The woman was quickly brought to the highest floor. She was then thrown to the ground.
Matthew and Abbott were already there, standing at the edge of the floor. When they heard voices coming, they turned their heads back slowly to look at its source.
