Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 561

I don’t know what happened. I had just arrived at Yorksland and was immediately stuck in this situation, despite not having done anything yet. Still in a daze, I could only hear some muffled voices but was not able to make out what they were saying.

Besides feeling afraid, I was sad that I was so helpless. I didn’t even manage to find Christopher. Rumor had it that Yorksland was a mess. Did I encounter human traffickers, or maybe organ traffickers?

I got more scared the more I thought about it. When I finally woke up, I saw that I was in an abandoned warehouse. A group of men was playing cards together when one of them noticed that I was awake. He then tossed a bottle of water and a piece of bread at me.

I took the food and studied them as I ate. “Who are you guys. Why did you kidnap me?”

“For the money, of course. You’re the famous new school artist, after all. Tsk, tsk. You’re an artsy young woman too,” someone said and laughed. “Luck is on our side. We were at a loss originally. But now that we have you, it seems like there’s an eighty percent chance that we’ll succeed.”

I was confused about the situation when he mentioned money. Unsure of how to react, I said, “You kidnapped me for money, but we’re in Yorksland now. I don’t seem to recall that I’m famous in Yorksland. Who are you going to ask for money here? Are you telling me that you want my family to come all the way from Avenport to send you money? Or do you want them to send you the money online? These options aren’t realistic at all.”

“Hehe. I heard that you’re Lyle Smith’s ex-wife. He still hasn’t gotten over you, you know? I wonder how much you’re worth,” a man said with narrowed eyes as he scrutinized me.

“Lyle?” I was even more confused now. “You must have been mistaken. He has nothing to do with me now. If you’re going to threaten Lyle, shouldn’t you be looking for the woman he loves? Do you really think he’d give his money because of me? Back then when I was kidnapped, the kidnappers demanded one billion but he didn’t give them a single cent. He just left me to rot there.”

“What?” Not many people knew about this incident anyway. Upon hearing my words, the kidnappers started to panic. One of the men kicked me and scolded, “You should just die if you’re not worth anything, then.”

I felt a shiver down my spine in an instant. This really was an unexpected disaster. I haven’t even done anything in Yorksland but was met with something like this all because of Lyle. Is he the bane of my life?
