Lambert has been using custom-made brushes at Henley's pen shop, and Sally was very familiar with him. Apart from the title of the eldest son of the Williams Family, Lambert was the rising star of the art circle. Coupled with his refined temperament and modest personality, many women in Birmingham were attracted to him.
Sally always saw him go out alone and never thought the person he liked would show up in Henry's Brush Shop. She still remembered that the woman who drew this painting had a good temperament, but the painting was indeed not so good.
'She must be important to Lambert.'
The next day, Jessica received a call from Henry and heard the price, almost as high as the price of a famous artist's work. She kept showing her gratitude over the phone. She didn't expect Henry Brush Shop to be so rich.
Since she had found a job, there was no way for her to draw in the hospital. Therefore, she rented a house through the agency in the old housing area near the hospital.
After Jessica settled down all things, she set her mind to drawing, preparing drafts every night until dawn.
After sending lunch to her grandma at noon, she returned home.
Just as she walked to the corridor, she heard the sound of someone smashing the floor. The closer she got, the more uneasy she felt. The sound seemed to come from her rented house.
She ran all the way up the stairs and saw a few men in black suits. They were smashing her house into pieces, as well as her drawings. Her painstaking efforts of day and night were torn to pieces and scattered on the ground.
"Who are you? Stop. "Jessica threw the thermos over and ran to stop them. Her thin body was pushed to the ground.
She was scared. It was not until the men left that she remembered to call the police.
At this moment, she could not even shed tears. She sat on the ground and hugged her legs tightly. She was completely dumbstruck.
After she finished her statement at the police station, she didn't clean the house until it was dark.
Staying alone in the room was too terrifying. She staggered out of the door.
She walked on the street but didn't know where to go. She wanted to find a lively place so that she wouldn't let her imagination run wild.
In front of her, she saw a large neon sign, Midnight Bar. There was the sound of rock and roll music coming from inside. Jessica pushed the door open and went in.
She ordered a glass of wine and sat at the bar counter in a daze.
When Toby came out of the room and saw Jessica sitting there, he felt like an opportunity had come.
He arranged for his sidekick to go over and talk to Jessica so that he could figure out why she was here.
Soon, a tall and thin man sat next to Jessica, "Miss, alone?"
Jessica ignored him, took a sip, but she felt dizzier, and then she fainted on the bar.
In a trance, two people helped her out, went into a sealed space. The sound of closing the door woke her up a little bit. At that time, she found herself in the car.
"Let me go. Who are you?" Jessica used all her strength to tear apart the man beside her.
In the Williams Group.
It was late at night, and the lights in the CEO's office were still bright.
Oliver flipped through the documents that needed to be signed.
"Sir, I've already found out about the incident in Holland last time. It was Toby who did it. " Simon said from the side.
Toby couldn't stand Oliver. He was a famous character in Birmingham, and Oliver's father died. It was his turn to be the president of the Williams Group. But Oliver's father left a goddamn will that he gave the president to his youngest son, Oliver.
Toby has been playing tricks behind the scenes, trying to test Oliver's bottom line.
"What has he been doing recently?"
"I heard that he's been trying to rope in other shareholders of the company recently, and he's meeting a lot of people at the bar tonight. "
"There's no need to alert the enemy. You can go out. "
After a while, Simon came back in a panic and said, "Sir, Mrs. Williams was kidnapped by Toby's sidekick. "
"Why is that stupid woman at the bar?"
"Didn't you get someone to smash her house?" Simon said as he observed Oliver's expression. He continued, "She might be feeling depressed, so she went to the bar."
Oliver had already heard the news of Jessica looking for a job outside. Especially when he knew that Lambert had helped her behind her back, which made him furious. He thought that Jessica would take the initiative to go back after staying enough outside. It seemed like he had underestimated her.
Oliver slammed the documents heavily on the desk.
"Arrange for someone to intercept that car. Let's go. "
"Yes. " Simon immediately pushed the wheelchair over.
"It's already so urgent, why are you still carrying this tool to delay things?" Oliver kicked the wheelchair away.
Simon thought, 'What's going on with the young master? He pretended to be disabled in order to numb the enemy, but now he removed his disguise. Isn't it too hasty?'
However, how could he dare to make any suggestions? He followed behind the resolute Oliver and headed straight for the underground garage.
Simon stepped on the accelerator, and the black Bentley drove out of Williams Corporation's underground garage.
Oliver's sidekicks kept reporting the movement of the van to Simon, which was heading towards the pier warehouse.
Simon turned the car around and drove in the direction of the warehouse, and halfway, he got a call saying they lost the car.
Oliver cursed, "Idiots! Speed up. "
Simon was driving in front, and he was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat.
Jessica sat in the car, kicking and biting. She was slapped by the tall and thin man in the backseat, and her hands and feet were tied. Her mouth was sealed by the black tape, "B*tch, you should save some strength. There's a time for you to move. "
Jessica saw that resistance was futile, so she kept quiet and observed her surroundings. The number of cars on the road was clearly decreasing, and her heart was pounding.
