“Who the hell adnapped her from the hospital

paused, clearly skeptical. “What are you on about? Did Whitney put you up to this?”
It’s truk. Whitney was abducted on her way to Banyan City Prison. Mr. L, if you don’t believe me, check if Elaine’s even at the office”
Doubt gnawing at him. Ludwik sent Felix to look for Elaine.
Felix returned with news. “Elaine left the office about 20 minutes ago and said she was grabbing some coffee”
Ludwik’s brooding brow furrowed even deeper, a chill settling in his gaze.
“Mr. L we need to hurry and save Whitney! I’m right downstairs from your office.”
The towering man stepped out of the corporate building. “Felix, gather a team.”
Whitney’s safety was paramount.
Ludwik climbed into Tiana’s car, and with the tracker leading the way, she floored it.
Meanwhile, in a farmhouse on the outskirts, Whitney was tossed into a corner by two men.
They hastily rummaged through her laptop and some documents before making their exit.
Elaine appeared behind the house, her eyes cold as ice. She powered up the laptop, and there it was – recordings of Monica, Yvonne, and Valerie, as well as surveillance footage of Monica conversing with her at the hospital!
The documents were evidences of the shady dealings over Monica’s preliminary contest submissions.
Another item caught her eye- a photo she had given to the laborer’s family of Whitney. And now it had fallen into Whitney’s hands.
She had to destroy the evidence herself to be at ease.
After setting everything ablaze, Elaine prepared to make a swift exit.
But as she stepped out, a car screeched to a stop by the roadside. Ludwik and Tiana emerged and marched toward her.
Cornered by them, Elaine knew she had no time to hide.
Ludwik fixed Elaine with an icy stare, disbelief flashing in his eyes. “Did you kidnap Whitney?”
Tiana had already sent someone to retrieve Whitney from the farmhouse.
Freeing herself from her binds, Whitney stepped out, composed and cool.
In a matter of seconds, Elaine’s expression shifted dramatically. She was smart, and piecing it together, she realized something this had been a trap within a trap, Whitney was not after the evidence, she was after her!
In her desperation, Elaine had played right into their hands.
“Why did you kidnap Whitney, Elaine?” Ludwik’s fury was palpable as the truth lay bare before him.
Elaine, however composed, struggled to defend herself, “I did not, Bro, I was just trying to get something from Whitney…”
“What could you possibly want? Is it this?” Whitney returned with a laptop from Tiana’s car, a cold smirk on her lips. “I have the evidence of your schemes against me, Elaine. So you panicked, fearing I’d show it to L, and you

rushed to kidnap me and destroy the evidence?”
She fipped open the laptop and laid bare the truth before L, Elaine’s facade crumbling.
Whitney had made backups. It was a trap all along
After reviewing the damning evidence and witnessing Elaine’s attempt to abduct Whitney, Ludwik’s expression turned frosty
Whitney looked up and said, “I just wanted to prove that Elaine has been plotting against me and our child from the start. She orchestrated the attack in jail, not Monica. L, so many incidents lately have been her attempt to harm me, including the laborer seeking revenge – she distributed my photo to his family If you need proof, just check her or her assistant’s computer for downloads of my picture.”
“No need
Ludwik had seen enough. His trust in Elaine had turned to utter disappointment.
He had always believed Elaine would not dare cross him. Despite his repeated rejections, he thought she had given up and was not so thick–skinned or cunning. She had helped his company several times, and he had conflated professional trust with personal.
Whitney met that icy stare with calm resolve. She knew giving this cunning woman another chance could cost her and her child their lives. This counter strike had to be merciless–and it was.
Once Elaine was in the car, her phone lit up with an alert from the Imperial Gem Corporation system: [Elaine is suspended from her position, pending investigation.]
