14
The hallway of Glacier Hotel. Esme looked at Eliza, who was unconscious now, with a cold gaze. She sneered.
“I thought she‘d be good at martial arts since she‘s been working at Parson Media as a stunt–woman for a while. I guess I‘ve overestimated her abilities.”
“Ms. Lawson, what should we do now?”
The burly men who had just kidnapped Eliza asked in a low voice.
“Send her to room 1102, Michael Lewis will be there soon.”
“Roger that.”
They dragged Eliza to the room beside them instantly.
Suddenly, a jade pendant fell out of her pocket.
The jade pendant seemed really dazzling under the warm lights of the hallway.
Esme frowned and went over to pick up the jade pendant. “Did that drunkard give Eliza this pendant?”
She snorted and put it in her pocket.
Before she turned 18. Esme had seen this jade pendant before while living with Luca. O
Luca had told Esme unintentionally that the pendant would lead her to her mother one day. Besides, he also said that her mother wasn‘t just any ordinary woman.
When Esme left the slums to her real family, she wanted to take the pendant with her, but she couldn‘t find it anywhere.
She didn’t expect Luca to give that pendant to Eliza.
She snorted again.
“So you want to find your mother, Eliza Lawson?”
“Dream on!” Esme thought.
“Ms. Lawson.”
After a while, Michael walked into the room. He was a half–bald man with a beer belly. “Is she here? Are you sure that the Valentine family isn‘t aware of this?”
“Don‘t worry.”
Esme smiled smugly. “I‘m sure Eliza is happy to serve you. She‘s not really that important in the Valentine family anyway. Nobody would give a d*mn about her disappearance.” Since Mr. Valentine had a brutal nature, he wouldn‘t send bodyguards to follow and protect Eliza. Even if he did ask someone to follow her, Eliza would still do her best to shake them off her trail.
After all, Esme was sure that Eliza wouldn‘t want the public to know that her biological father was a drunkard.
Before this, Esme had expected Eliza to send money to Luca. That was why she sent some people to abduct her near Luca‘s house. “Okay then!”

18:21 Michael rubbed his hands excitedly. He took the contract and signed his name on it. “As long as she serves me well, I won‘t hesitate to cooperate with Lawson‘s Group for many years to come!”
“Thank you so much, Michael.”
Esme smiled smugly and said, “I won‘t waste your time any longer. Please go in and enjoy yourself.”
Michael smiled wickedly and walked inside.
As Esme watched Michael‘s back disappearing into the room, she smiled contemptuously and turned to leave.
Since the hotel‘s door lock was custom–made and the room was soundproof, she wasn‘t worried that Eliza might escape.
Besides, Eliza should thank her.
Not only did that fire ruin Mr. Valentine‘s appearance and personality, but it had also made him an impotent
man.
The reason he tortured his past fiancés was that he couldn‘t have sex with them!
Although Michael was a little old, he was still useful at least.
The Valentine family‘s villa.
In the study, a multinational video conference was being held.
Beau was sitting at his desk. Frowning, he was listening to a French woman describing the company‘s latest business proposal.
The entire meeting was solemn. Even though it was just a video conference, the atmosphere was still really suffocating.
“Bang!” someone pushed the door forcefully.
Demarion rushed inside nervously. “Daddy, mommy is in danger!”
The conference fell silent instantly.
Everyone on the other end of the video stared at Beau with shocked expressions.
When did their boss have a wife?
Beau didn‘t move an inch. “What‘s wrong?”
“When Braint was calling mommy just now, she screamed and we couldn‘t get ahold of her anymore!”
“No one answered the phone when I called again!”
Demarion‘s expression turned red from anxiety. He grabbed Beau‘s hand frantically. “Daddy, you have to save mommy now!” “She might have been kidnapped!”
“What if they bully her!”
He tugged at Beau with all his might. “You have to help her now!”
Beau frowned.
Although Demarion was a mischievous child, he wouldn‘t lose his cool that easily.
It seemed like something major had really happened.
Beau stood up and strode out the door with Demarion in his arms.

18.21 m Noticing that their boss had left abruptly, the participants in the conference were extremely confused. They didn‘t know whether they should end the meeting or wait for Beau to come back.
Braint climbed onto Beau‘s chair and picked up the microphone. Frowning, he said seriously, “Due to the rise of some unprecedented issues in our household, my father is currently away to save my mother. With that, the meeting is adjourned for the day.” I
After that, Braint exited the meeting politely and turned off the computer.
All of a sudden, all the representatives of Puskia burst into an uproar.
“I can‘t believe that Mr. Valentine has a wife now!”
Beau, the workaholic, had actually postponed the meeting because of his wife!
“According to Mommy‘s phone signal, I found her location before she disappeared.”
Near the alleyway of the slums, Braint was typing on the computer at a fast pace while wearing headphones.
“Mr. Valentine, I‘ve found madam‘s mobile phone.”
Quickly, Beau‘s subordinate passed Eliza‘s phone to him.
The screen of the old mobile phone was broken into pieces.
Beau paused for a moment. Then, he threw the phone into the trash can. “I‘ll buy a new phone for mommy!” Demarion, who was sitting at the passenger seat, took out his tablet and started scrolling through an online shopping platform.
Looking at their surrounding environment, Braint frowned slightly and asked, “Why did mommy come here?”
