Want My Womb? I'll Make You Childless novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145

The taxi pulled up outside a car rental agency in the suburbs. Olivia paid the fare and hurried to the counter.

“I need to rent a car, with a driver, as soon as possible.”

The clerk behind the counter looked up, noticing her urgency.“Certainly. What type of car are you looking for? And for how long?”

“Anything that can carry people will do. Three days.”

Olivia waved her hand dismissively, her eyes quickly scanning the showroom.

“Okay, one moment, sir. I’ll arrange that for you right away.” The employee immediately picked up the phone to contact the back office.

A few minutes later, a black van pulled out from the back of the dealership. The driver was a middle–aged man in his forties, with a simple, honest face and wearing a uniform.

Olivia quickly walked over, opened the passenger door, and got in, lowering her voice as she gave the address:“To the alley behind Downtown Medical Center, to pick someone up.”

The driver nodded in agreement:“Okay.”

“Oh, and one more thing.”

As if suddenly remembering something, Olivia took out her phone from her purse and snapped a photo of the license plate. “Give me your phone number.”

The driver recited his number, and Olivia quickly saved it. Then, she composed a text message, sending both the license plate number and the driver’s phone number to Daniel.

She felt like she had pulled off the perfect operation. The rental car was under a fake name, the payment came from an anonymous account, and she hadn’t left any traces that could lead back to her.

She was already fantasizing about Daniel getting his hands on the contents of that warehouse, using those assets to make a comeback, and then helping her secure a foothold within the Bennett Group.

Unbeknownst to her, in an inconspicuous black sedan parked across from the car dealership, an undercover police officer was watching her every move through the tinted windows.

Officer Lee spoke softly into his radio from the driver’s seat.

“Target’s renting a car with a driver. Looks like she’s picking someone up. Requesting instructions. Do we move in for the arrest now?” A few seconds of silence crackled over the radio before the calm, steady voice of their superior officer replied, “Hold off on the arrest.” “We just received intel that Daniel Quinn is highly likely heading to Pier 3 in the West Side of Boston. Don’t spook her. Follow the target and see if she’s meeting Quinn and whether their final destination is Boston.”

“Yes, sir!”

Officer Lee responded.

Olivia watched the driver handle the car with practiced ease, a growing certainty blossoming in her chest that this time, she would

succeed.

As the car pulled away from the rental agency, Officer Lee shot a look at his partner in the passenger seat.

“Go inside and see what you can find out. I’ll keep following her.”

His partner nodded, opened the car door, and strolled into the rental agency, posing as a regular customer.

He went straight to the counter and smiled at the employee who had just served Olivia.

“Hi there. I’m looking to rent a car, preferably with a driver, for a long trip. Do you have anything like that available?

“Absolutely,”

Meth

Eager to make a sale, the employee launched into a friendly pitch.“The lady who just left rented our seven–seater van. It’s spacious and comfortable. If you’re interested, I can get one ready for you right now.”

“No rush.”

The colleague waved his hand, pretending to be casual.“I want to get some information first.”

“I’m thinking of taking my family on a trip, and it’s quite a distance. Are your drivers okay with that?”

“Of course, we’ll cover the driver’s expenses on the road.”

“Yes, sir.”

The employee didn’t think much of it and replied casually, “The lady who just left rented a car to go to Boston.”

“Boston isn’t exactly close to Chicago, but we still took the job.”

“Okay, I understand.”

Having heard what he wanted to know, the colleague nodded and took out his phone, pretending to check something. “I’ll go back and discuss it with my wife.”

With that, he turned and left the car rental place, quickly returning to the black sedan to report to Officer Lee.

“Confirmed. She rented the car to go to Boston. It matches the intelligence we received.”

“Looks like Daniel Quinn contacted her. She’s renting the car to take him to Warehouse No.3 in Boston to get something.”

Officer Lee’s eyes narrowed, and he started the engine.

“I’ll keep following Olivia Bennett. You report the situation to our superiors.”

“If the situation allows, arrange for personnel to be deployed near the warehouse in advance.”

Meanwhile, in the alley behind Downtown Medical Center.

Daniel Quinn saw the text message and license plate photo Olivia Bennett had sent, and the anxiety in his heart eased a little.

“Are you sure it’s safe? Is anyone following you?”

Soon after, Olivia replied with a text: “Don’t worry, it’s totally safe. I used a fake name to rent the car, no one knows it’s me. The driver is from the rental company, very reliable. Just get in when you see the license plate.”

Daniel read the text over and over, confirming it several times before finally breathing a sigh of relief.

A little over ten minutes later, the sound of a car engine approached. Daniel immediately stood up, looking warily towards the alley

entrance.

A black van slowly drove in, the license plate matching the photo Olivia had sent.

Marke

Daniel squinted, and after confirming there was nothing out of the ordinary, he quickly walked forward, opened the car door, and got

into the back seat.

“Drive.”

The driver paused, glancing at Daniel in the rearview mirror. Seeing his unpleasant expression, he didn’t dare to ask questions, started the engine, and slowly drove out of the alley.

The car sped towards Boston. Daniel didn’t say a word the whole way, only occasionally opening his eyes to cautiously observe the

situation outside the window.

Unbeknownst to him, not far behind, the black unmarked police car followed like a shadow, keeping a tight lock on their movements.

Boston.

Based on the intel Ryan Walker had provided, Leo Jefferson arrived at the docks ahead of time with a large contingent of officers. They were lying in wait in concealed positions around the warehouse, with police stationed at every entrance and exit. Surveillance equipment had already been calibrated to provide comprehensive coverage of every corner of the warehouse.

“Stay sharp, everyone!”

Leo Jefferson instructed the officers around him in a hushed voice, “Quinn is a desperate man. He may be armed, so everyone needs to be careful. Wait until he enters the warehouse and has the merchandise in hand before moving in for the arrest. We need to take him down in one fell swoop!”

“Yes, sir!”

The surrounding officers responded in unison, their eyes firm, ready for action.

Time ticked by, and the van carrying Quinn finally arrived at West Side Pier 3 after traveling for most of the day.

Following Quinn’s directions, the driver parked the vehicle in an open area not far from Warehouse 3.

“Just stop here.”

Quinn opened his eyes.“Wait here for me. Once I get the stuff, we’ll head back to Chicago.”

He pushed open the car door and quickly scanned the surroundings.

The pier was bustling with activity, mostly workers moving cargo, and everything seemed normal.

Quinn breathed a sigh of relief and strode toward Warehouse 3.

The warehouse door was shut tight. Daniel Quinn reached the entrance, pulled a rusty key from his pocket, and slid it into the lock. He turned it gently.

A click echoed as the lock disengaged.

He pushed the door open, slipped inside, and quickly shut it behind him.

The warehouse was pitch black, thick with a damp, moldy stench.

Quinn felt his way along the wall until he reached a corner, then pressed a hidden switch.

Dim light flickered on, revealing the interior of the warehouse.

The space was vast, cluttered with discarded wooden crates and debris, appearing chaotic.

Without hesitation, Quinn walked straight to a large wooden crate at the far end of the warehouse, knelt down, and lifted the lid.

Inside, instead of junk, was a black metal box.

Quinn’s eyes lit up, and a thrilled smile spread across his face. He reached out with trembling hands and lifted the metal box.

The metal box was heavy. Inside lay all the evidence of the illegal organ trafficking he had done with Richard Bennett back in the day. along with his secret financial accounts and a list of contacts accumulated over the years.

With these, he could rise again!

Just as he was itching to open the metal box, the warehouse door was suddenly kicked open with a bang.

Blinding light flooded the space, accompanied by the sound of synchronized footsteps as a large group of police officers stormed in, their guns all pointed directly at him.

“Freeze! Police!”

Daniel Quinn’s face changed drastically, and the metal box slipped from his grasp, clattering to the floor. He instinctively tried to run, but was quickly pinned down by officers who had been lying in wait.

The moment the cold handcuffs snapped onto his wrists, Daniel was overcome with despair. He collapsed to the ground, his eyes hollow, muttering to himself, “Impossible… how did you know about this place…”

Leo Jefferson walked up to him, looking down with cold eyes.“Daniel Quinn, you are under arrest for multiple charges, including illegal organ trafficking, aggravated assault, and prison escape. Come with us!”

The police hauled Daniel to his feet and dragged him roughly toward the warehouse exit. He knew his life was over. Completely ruined.

In Chicago, Olivia Bennett woke up from a dream, completely unaware of everything that had transpired in Boston.

She was still focused on her plan, believing that once Daniel returned to Chicago, she would be able to reclaim her position within the Bennett Group.

Then, no matter what Victor Bennett thought of her, he would have to rely on her to revitalize the Bennett Group. With that thought, she reached under her pillow, pulled out her phone, and dialed Victor Bennett’s number.

The phone rang several times before he answered, his voice tired and cold on the other end.“What is it?” Olivia immediately adopted a worried tone.“Big brother, I’ve been calling Dad, but he’s not answering. Is something wrong? After all, Victor Bennett hadn’t informed her of Richard Bennett’s death, so she could only pretend she didn’t know anything.

Victor Bennett was at the hospital, dealing with the aftermath of Richard Bennett’s death, completely overwhelmed. Hearing Olivia’s voice only added to his irritation.“Dad’s gone.”

“Gone?”

Olivia feigned surprise, her voice rising a few notches, laced with a hint of deliberate sorrow.

“How could this happen? When did it happen? Why didn’t you tell me?”

“He passed away yesterday at 1:45 PM.”

Victor Bennett’s voice was devoid of emotion.“I’ve only just finished dealing with things here.”

Olivia paused for a few seconds, as if composing herself, then changed the subject, her tone laced with anticipation.

“Victor, now that Dad’s gone, the Bennett Group is without a leader. You must be swamped.”

“Dad promised me I could come back to Bennett Group and help you, and now is the perfect time for me to lend a hand. I’m willing to come back and work with you to keep Bennett Group afloat.”

She had assumed that with Richard’s passing, Victor would need assistance, and he’d have no reason to refuse her offer to step in.

However, Victor’s rose–colored glasses regarding her and her mother had been shattered because of Diane’s actions. Hearing her words now, he felt nothing but coldness.

Olivia had only paused for a few seconds upon hearing of their father’s death before offering to return to Bennett Group, showing no concern whatsoever for the circumstances of his passing.

It was as if she had known all along.

The thought sparked a flicker of wariness in Victor’s eyes.

“No need. I can handle things at Bennett Group on my own.”

“You just got back from overseas. Why don’t you rest for a few days?”

Olivia’s smile froze instantly at Victor’s blunt refusal, and a surge

of resentment welled up inside her.

“Victor, I genuinely want to help you. Dad agreed when he was alive. How can you treat me like this?”

“How am I treating you?”

Victor’s tone turned colder.

“Olivia, Dad’s barely cold in his grave, and you’re already eager to get your hands on Bennett Group? Do you think that’s appropriate?”

Without waiting for Olivia to argue, Victor hung up the phone.

The dial tone blared from the receiver, and Olivia’s face turned ashen with rage as she slammed her phone onto the sofa.

“Victor Bennett! What have you got to be so smug

She spat out the words, her eyes filled with venom.

about?!”

Once Daniel Quinn got his hands on what he needed and made his comeback, she’d see if Victor Bennett was still so high and mighty.

Maybe then, Victor would be begging her to help him save Bennett Group.

The thought soothed Olivia a little, and she sat back on the sofa, lost in fantasies of a future where she called all the shots at Bennett Group.

Just then, a rapid series of knocks shattered the silence of her apartment.

Olivia frowned, a flicker of unease in her eyes. Who could be looking for her at this hour?

She got up and went to the door, but instead of opening it, she peered through the peephole.

Two men in police uniforms stood outside the door, their expressions stern and their eyes sharp.

Olivia’s heart leaped into her throat, a sense of foreboding washing over her.

Forcing herself to remain calm, she opened the door and asked with feigned confusion, “Who are you looking for? What’s this about?”

One of the officers produced an arrest warrant and held it out to Olivia.

“Olivia Bennett, we’re with the city police department. You’re suspected of harboring a wanted fugitive, Daniel Quinn. We need you to come with us to the police station for questioning.”
