Chapter 300 Natural and Man-made Disasters
Jean kept running forward until she reached a corner where there was no one. She covered her face and wept helplessly. Tears covered her entire face at that moment. “Daddy…”
“Why? Why?” Mr. Jevin had told her that the person in charge of purchasing the construction materials was Sam Reece, and not her father.
But when the incident happened, her father was punished as he was the person in charge. He was instructed to bear all the consequences and responsibilities.
Ethan’s insurance was handled by her father too. In other words, her father had long known about Edgar.
It turned out that Edgar had married her for that purpose. The only people he had in mind when he saw her was his father’s death, and the only feelings he had for her were just hatred and exertion.
But she had married him eagerly. Jean cried until she could not move.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of rustling footsteps behind her. Just as she wanted to turn around to look, a hand covered her mouth. “Don’t make any noise. Or else……”
She could feel a cold dagger against her waist. Jean nodded tremblingly. Then, she was taken into a van. Her head was covered with a black hood.
She had never heard this person’s voice. Jean suddenly remembered about the missing driver. He had hidden somewhere quietly for two days. He must be either a local or was working with someone in the village. So he knew where to hide and had someone to cover up for him.
“Don’t blame me. I’m paid to kill you. I’m just doing them a favor and earning some money for myself.”
For a moment, Jean gave up the idea of struggling. She did not even think of running away.
Where could she run to?
Could she really help Edgar take revenge?
When the man saw Jean so obedient, he sneered. “What a pity. You are quite pretty.”
He whistled and stepped onto the accelerator.
The road was muddy. It made the journey bumpy.
Jean was about to pass out from carsickness when she suddenly heard the man talking on the phone. “Don’t worry. As long as you do as you promised and transfer money to my account, the woman will never get out of this village alive. She will be dead.”
But the person at the other end of the phone did not seem satisfied.
The man spat on the ground. “Reece, don’t you dare play tricks with me…..”
Reece?
Jean opened her eyes. She peeked through the gap from the head cover and saw the man outside.
The word Mr. Jevin had drawn on her palm just now was Reece.
Sam Reece was the one who caused Edgar’s pain and hatred. He had also made her lose her family!
Jean’s abductor had his back facing the car. He was still bargaining on the phone with Sam Reece.
It was of the least of his expectations that Jean would break free from the rope that had tied her. She climbed towards the driver’s seat.
Only when the sound of the car engine was heard did the abductor turn around. But it was too late. The car was headed towards him at full speed.
“Ah!”
The man screamed. He ran away in panic and threw away his phone.
Sam, who was at the other end of the phone, was startled by the noise. He clutched his phone hurriedly and looked at the person sitting opposite him.
“What should I do? It seems like they have made a mistake.”
The person did not respond. He only took a sip of tea.
Sam was too nervous to sit tight. He sighed and rubbed his hands again. “How about I get some men to go over?”
But recently, it has been hard to find people willing to do shady business if their reward wasn’t enticing. It was difficult too for him to find this driver.
If the driver made a mistake, it would startle his targets and arouse Edgar’s suspicion.
As soon as he thought of this, Sam felt regretful. He wouldn’t have done this if he knew that this would happen.
“They could escape after experiencing both natural and man-made disasters. Well, my nephew is indeed not an ordinary person, isn’t he?” The man sitting opposite Sam spoke. It was Edbert Royden.
