The More the Merrier novel Chapter 97

Chapter 97 Nearly Kidnapped

“Mr. Frank, call me on my phone if anything crops up. It’s my child’s first day of school today; I’m going to pick him up.”

Work hours had already ended, but she was concerned she would be required to work overtime. That was why she called Ethen to inform him.

“All right. Go ahead, Ms. York.”

Arissa tidied up some documents, intending to finish up some incomplete work at home.

Looking at how her colleagues were still busy with their work, Arissa felt slightly embarrassed.

“Everyone, go back as soon as you’re done with your work. I’ll head off first, so call me if you need anything!”

“All right, see you tomorrow, Ms. York!”

“See you tomorrow!” Arissa smiled, glad that they understood her predicament.

She got into the taxi hurriedly and called the children, unaware that the driver seated in front was looking at her wickedly.

“Sweetheart, I’ll reach in a while.”

“Mommy, take your time!” Zachary replied, together with Gavin and all the other children.

Arissa smiled and did not talk much after. She reminded them to wait for her before hanging up the phone.

When she saw a dessert shop at the side of the road, she asked the driver to stop for a while.

However, the driver, who was wearing a cap, did not stop the car. He continued to drive.

Arissa frowned and looked at the driver. She saw that he had a scar on his face and started to worry.

She instantly recalled what Bradley had told her.

She tried to open the car door in a panic, only to realize it had been locked.

“Stop the car! I want to get off!” Arissa, now flustered, took out the self-defense tools in her bag hurriedly.

But the driver acted as if he did not even hear what she said. Instead of stopping the car, he even started to drive faster.

Arissa leaned over and put a knife to his throat. “Stop!” she shouted.

He did not expect her to have a knife with her. With a backhanded move, he knocked the knife out of her hand.

Arissa was shocked and moved forth to attack the driver.
