Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 243

He ripped the duct tape off her mouth. "You little witch, I've finally got my hands on you. I'm going to make you pay ten times over for what I lost."

Madeline saw her captor's face.

Her pupils instantly dilated in shock.

"It's you?" Madeline could never forget that this was the cab driver from the night she moved out of the Whitman estate.

That night, after realizing she lived alone, he had picked the lock to her apartment, brought a signal jammer to cut off her phone, and nearly assaulted her.

Thankfully, the undercover bodyguards Quentin had assigned to protect her showed up just in time, brutally beating the creep and delivering a swift kick to his groin that physically castrated him.

Because of their terrifying history,

Madeline felt a suffocating wave of terror.

She hurriedly said, "Why did you kidnap me? Is this about revenge? I'm warning you, if you lay a finger on me, the people protecting me will make you wish you were dead. Didn't you learn your lesson last time?"

The man, Milo Vance, was a middle-aged, utterly unsuccessful driver.

With his parents gone and his finances in ruins, the bachelor was actually Grant Lansbury's nephew.

Milo used to just drive his cab, spending his days in a group chat with other drivers, gossiping about their female passengers' cup sizes and upskirt views.

It was Grant who had instructed him to wait on the driveway outside the Whitman villa, offering to help with Madeline's luggage so he could figure out where she lived and find an opportunity to assault her.

Grant hadn't expected Milo to be so desperate and impatient after seeing how incredibly gorgeous and curvy Madeline was.

He had tried to make his move that very night.

Grant had even encouraged him, claiming that once Milo took her, Madeline would have no choice but to stay with him, making it easy for Milo to take over her apartment.

Instead of succeeding, Milo had been beaten to a pulp by the imposing bodyguards, suffering multiple fractures and permanent organ damage.

In an instant, Milo lost his ability to drive and his ability to ever be with a woman again.

The message read:

[Anyone want to help me kidnap the little bitch who hurt my daughter? I'll pay thirty thousand dollars when it's done. The bitch is loaded, carrying millions on her. Once we get the money, I'll help you immigrate overseas to live the good life!]

Milo's eyes lit up with greed. It was just a woman, right? And a woman he already knew.

He had already tried to assault her; why would he be scared of kidnapping her?

He immediately volunteered, replying to Grant: [Grant, let me handle it. Keep the profits in the family.]

Grant remembered that Milo had crossed paths with Madeline before, making him the perfect candidate.

He explained what he needed done and mentioned he had just seen Madeline enter the hospital.

Milo thought it was incredibly lucky. He waited at the entrance for a bit, and when Madeline didn't come out, he drove in to search. Thanks to his good luck and Madeline's stunning, one-in-a-million looks, he found her right away.
