EX-husband Groveling to Me novel Chapter 270

The villa community was located in the suburban area in J City. So it took about one and a half hours to reach there at least. When Austin arrived, it had been 4:00 PM.

As he saw from the phone, Suny was located at the Villa No. 1708 in Section C. He stopped the car and looked around. Then he made a call to Ivan.

Meanwhile, Ivan had finished mustering up a team of bodyguards hired from a company, most of whom were veterans. The team consisted of the most elite of them. They were all highly capable of dealing with the emergency.

When seeing Austin's caller ID, Ivan paused, wondering if he was calling for backup. So he hurried to answer, “Mr. Johnson, what happened?”

“Find out the owner of Villa No. 1708 in Section C.”

The location was where Suny was held.

But he couldn’t make a further move before he found out who the owner was.

“Yes, sir.”

Soon, Ivan got the information. But the owner wasn’t a local resident.

Then he sent Austin the information in less than twenty minutes.

Austin couldn’t help frowning when reading the information.

The villa was owned by a woman named Ann Powell. Of course, Ivan had dug out as much information as he could.

This woman wasn’t born in J City. She moved here at the age of five when her mom remarried a guy in J City. When she was twelve, her stepfather tried to rape her. While struggling, she accidentally killed him. Her mother left her alone out of hatred.

After that, Ann joined a gang and she got imprisoned a few times. At the age of 25, she married a gangster. When she reached thirty, her husband was sentenced to death after committing a crime. In the following years, she developed her own business—usury and real estate agent.

At the age of 35, she married a guy named James Francis.

Dennis used to be a gangster. He was imprisoned ten years ago. After the prison term, he married Ann.

After being through all these, the couple seemed to get away from crime.

Neither Austin nor Suny knew about this Ann.

But when he saw the name Francis, he soon realized what was happening.

He remembered he met this guy before in a restaurant when having a meal with Suny. At that time, this man, seemingly in his forties, showed up with Jennifer, who was addressing him as Mr. Francis.

The answer was obvious—it must have something to do with Jennifer.

Smiling, he then made a call to Ivan, “Bring Alex here. I bet he would like to know what his daughter has been planning.”

Ivan paused confusedly upon hearing that. How came Alex got involved?

But soon Ivan realized what happened, “Okay, Mr. Johnson, I got it.”

He could tell from Austin’s words that Jennifer must be involved.

Since he found out the answer, it was time to take action.

Austin got off the car and pressed the doorbell. Then a tall guy came from inside the villa.

Obviously, he must be working for the kidnapper.

At the thought of that, Austin turned hostile.

The tall guy walked over, “Sir, what can I do for you?”

“I am here to talk to Mr. Francis.”

The tall guy seemed to notice the hostility in his eyes. He hesitated when hearing Austin mentioning the name of James.

“Sir, I am sorry. He isn’t at home right now. You can drop by another day.”

“What about Jennifer?”

Once again, Austin mentioned a name that surprised him. The tall guy couldn’t help staying alert.

But he still played dumb, “Sorry, sir, I think you knock on the wrong door.”

Austin sneered, “Let me in or I will call the police.”
