She thought about how she had been so insufferably arrogant as she ordered Charlie around in the past. She would also constantly be screaming at him, bullying, and insulting Charlie in the past. Elaine was truly filled with regrets at this time. 6
She could not help but think to herself, 'What if
Charlie still hates me deep in his heart? Perhaps he would be happy that I have gone missing this time. If h e really does not want me to go back home, he will not be bothered to come and rescue me at all. Does that mean that I will really have to bake and move bricks a t the brick factory for the rest of my life then?'
At this point, Elaine had already burst into tears. 7
Donald looked at Carmen before he said, "Since you said that you are a member of the Wade family, let me ask you something. What evidence do you have to prove your identity?" 1
Carmen hurriedly replied, "I have my checkbook and my personal signature stamp in my bag. You can take a look at it!" 3
Donald looked at Harold before he asked, "Where is her bag?"
Harold immediately returned to the van and took out Carmen’s top and limited-edition Hermes bag out of the van.
Donald felt a thump in his heart as soon as he saw the bag.
Elaine might not know her goods and could not recognize how much this bag was worth, but Donald knew it very well. 1
Back then, his wife, Alice, had also attended the Hermes spring show. This bag was the finale of the show. 5
Moreover, according to the official introduction by Hermes at that time, this bag was handmade by a collection of Hermes top designers. It was extremely valuable, and there was only one unit of this bag in the whole world.
At that time, Alice had already fallen in love with this bag at first glance and insisted on buying it. However, i t was a pity that Hermes had also officially stated that this bag had already been booked by a very influential person in Eastcliff. Therefore, they would not be able t o sell this bag to anyone else. 2
'The father and son from the Wilson family invited me here because they were trying to flatter me. They said that they were going to deal with Elaine. Since I have s o much hatred for Charlie, I simply thought of coming here to watch and join in the excitement...'
'But who would have thought that the father and son from the Wilson family would actually kidnap the eldest daughter of the Wade family and bring her here as well?!'
'This is a member of the Wade family! Let's forget about how this useless father and son could actually have the courage to kidnap someone like her, but the main point right now is, how can this pair of father and son possibly be able to kidnap such an important and reputable person like her?! Don't tell me that Carmen Wade does not even have a single bodyguard b y her side?!' 9
As he was thinking to himself, Harold had already handed Carmen's bag over to Donald. He handed the bag over to Donald respectfully with both of his hands as he said flatly, "Mr. Webb, I think that you should not believe this slanderous stinky b*tch here. When we went to capture Elaine, this stinky woman was fighting with Elaine. Furthermore, Elaine was sitting o n her, punching her directly. If she was truly someone with such a high status, it would be completely impossible for her to come out without even bringing a single bodyguard with her, right?” 13
Carmen blurted out, "I did bring my bodyguards with me! I brought two bodyguards as well as an assistant with me. At that time, I wanted to go to the beauty salon to talk to Elaine about Charlie. However, I did not want Elaine to find out about my identity because I do not want her to harass the Wade family. So, I asked my bodyguard to wait at the entrance instead..." 17
As she spoke, Carmen suddenly said angrily," However, I never would have expected that the owner of the beauty salon would be in cahoots with you!"
