Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 182

Chapter 182 

Just as she sent the message, Marcus’s call came through. Cornelia hurriedly answered, President Hartley” 

Where are you?” Marcus’s voice carried a hint of resignation 

Cornelia checked her GPS, “I be home in two or three kilometers” 

“Alright, hang up when you get home. Then his voice disappeared from the earpiece 

If it werent for the call duration ticking away on her phone screen, she would have thought he had hung up. 

The 3–kilometer journey didn’t take long. The taxi driver stopped the car across the street from the northern gate of her neighborhood, “Miss, they’re doing roadwork ahead I can’t turn the car around. You’ll have to go by yourself” 

“Okay” Cornelia got out of the car. The driver kindly helped her with her suitcase and then drove off. 

To the right of the northern gate was Riverside Park With its lush vegetation and scarce traffic at night, it always gave off an eerie vibe 

Cornela, dragging her suitcase, was about to cross the street when a van sped by, forcing her to retreat to the curb, She decided to wait for the van to pass before crossing 

Little did she know, the speeding van screeched to a halt before her. Two men wearing baseball caps and masks jumped out and forcefully dragged her into the van 

“What are you doing?” Cornelia barely managed to get the words out before a calloused hand covered her mouth, and her phone clattered to the ground. 

“Cornelia, Cornelia. “Marcus’s anxious voice rang from the phone, but the kidnapped Cornelia couldn’t hear him anymore 

Inside the van, the hand covering Cornelia’s mouth was removed and replaced with duct tape. “Just behave. No one’s saving you tonight.” 

Cornelia, unable to speak, observed with her eyes, three men in the van, one driving, two holding her. Their actions were too practiced, they must do this often 

She had never crossed any thugs, so this was likely someone’s revenge 

Who could it be? 

Courtney Kamp–Hartley? 

Cornelia quickly dismissed this possibility. Marcus himself had said that Courtney wouldn’t bother her again, and she trusted him. 

Who else could it be? 

Who had she pissed off during her time in Riverton? 

Who would be bold enough to go to these lengths to harm her? 

Suddenly, a name popped into Cornelia’s head – Eden Petersen!
