In the CEO’s office, Conrad Group…
Clarence opened the Kraft paper envelope and pulled out the documents from it. After a few glances, he tossed them on the tea table.
Shortly after, there was a knock on the door.
Nathan said, “Mr. Conrad, all the directors are gone.”
Clarence hummed to answer. Then he added, “Keep an eye on them. Dempsey won’t give up.”
“Yes, Mr. Conrad.”
Now Dempsey’s movements were too obvious. In other words, it had reached the critical moment for them to seize the power. Any unexpected incident would change the ultimate result of this matter.
As soon as Nathan walked out of the office, the manager of the security department rushed over, “Excuse me, Nathan. Something happened.”
“What’s wrong?”
The manager pulled out his phone and showed Nathan a clip of the surveillance video.
It was filmed by a camera outside the entrance of Conrad Group, which was far away from the entrance but with a wide-angle lens. Although they couldn’t recognize the people’s faces, Nathan recognized Stella’s outfit with a single glimpse as well as Jeffrey, who had been wandering about downstairs several times with his bandaged head.
Nathan couldn’t care too much. Grabbed the phone, he rushed back into the CEO’s office.
Clarence looked up impatiently. When he was about to speak, Nathan said hurriedly, “Mr. Conrad, Mrs. Conrad was taken away by Jeffrey Radomil.”
Clarence’s face went cold instantly. He stood up and strode outward of his office, “When did it happen?”
“Ten minutes ago.”
“Send our men to look for them. Go check on the places Jeffrey Radomil often goes to. One by one!” Clarence tightened his chin, his voice arctic cold, “Especially Twilight Club. If anyone sees Jeffrey Radomil, keep him in control.”
...
Jeffrey took Stella to an underground casino. He sealed her mouth with the adhesive tape and tied up her hands with cloth strips. He said, “My good girl, don’t blame me. You are the more ruthless one. If you didn’t deceive me to meet Adolph Miller, I wouldn’t be beaten up by them so violently. I was almost dead. But, rest assured, I’m not so heartless as you. I’ve found you a good man.”
When Jeffrey got off the car, Adolph was waiting for him there.
The latter asked, “Have you brought the money?”
Jeffrey rubbed his hands and said cheekily, “Sure. Sure.”
As he spoke, he glanced over in the car, “There it is.”
Adolph looked in the direction following his gaze. Through the window, he saw a pair of pretty and cold eyes.
Jeffrey said, “Are you satisfied? My daughter is worth more than a million, isn’t she?”
Adolph said with a frown, “You are playing such a trick again.”
“Again? This is my daughter. Shouldn’t she pay my debt for me?” Jeffrey approached him and covered his face with one hand. He whispered, “Don’t worry. I’ve contacted the buyer. He’s in the hotel nearby. When he gives me the money later, I’ll give it back to you. I won’t repudiate your debt.”
Adolph lit up a smoke, “This is the first time I’ve met such a father like you. If you declared that she’s your daughter, I’m afraid nobody would believe it.”
Jeffrey rolled his eyes and answered quickly, “What are you talking about? She has my blood in her body. Why couldn't she be my daughter? She wasn’t so lucky to be born in a family, but instead, she was born as my daughter. It’s her destiny.”
Adolph looked away, snorting.
Soon, Jeffrey received a call. The buyer he contacted had arrived at the hotel, asking him to take Stella over.
Stella was a bit taken aback. Clarence had never told her such a matter before...
The wretched man always did things tit-for-tat. She wondered why he hadn’t mentioned this to her.
As speaking to Stella, Jeffrey had taken her to the door of the room, where two men in suits were standing.
Jeffrey pushed Stella forward, “I’ve brought her here. Where’s the money?”
One of the men tossed a bank card to him.
Jeffrey frowned unhappily, “Treat me politely. Probably I’ll become the father-in-law of your boss in the future.”
With the card in his hand, Jeffrey said to Stella, “My daughter, don’t worry. Half of the money belongs to you as well. You’ll not be aggrieved.”
Stella closed her eyes and didn’t want to look at him at all.
Jeffrey was gone. One of the men pushed her into the room.
With both her hands tied up, Stella staggered. She raised her head and looked around the room.
It was an erotic room for people to kill time. The room was lit up with bright purple lights, which made her feel dizzy.
It seemed their boss wasn’t in the room.
Stella suddenly felt like vomiting. She rushed to the bathroom and retched to the toilet. She didn’t puke anything out.
Stella looked around and found the landline in the room. Immediately, she dialed the emergency number. However, when she just dialed the number, the phone line was pulled out by someone.
