Chapter 37 She Has Been Kidnapped
Edison raised his hand high above his head. The video was still playing, and the snoring sounds from the video projected from the phone.
Gwenyth regretted letting her guards down last night. She should have locked the door. Of all things, she really didn't expect that Edison would sneak into her room in the middle of the night when she was suffering from heatstroke.
"Can you delete the video, please?" She stood on tiptoe, unable to reach Edison's hand.
"Are you begging me by your mouth?"
Gwenyth was speechless. Of course, I'm begging you by my mouth! Otherwise, what should I use?
"Delete it!" If that video was kept on Edison's phone, it would surely become her dark secret.
"I don't want to delete it." Edison refused her in a firm tone.
"Prepare me the breakfast, I'm hungry now."
"If you don't delete the video, you'll have nothing to eat today."
"Really?" The man lowered his arms and put the phone back in his pocket. He sat back on the sofa, crossed his legs, squinted his eyes, and looked into Gwenyth's eyes. "How much should you pay me for violating the contract, eh?"
Without saying a word, Gwenyth went into the kitchen, preparing him breakfast sullenly.
It has been raining all day long and stopped when the sky got dark. After dinner, Gwenyth wrapped Edison's plastered hands with plastic wrap. And while he was taking a shower, she secretly picked
up his cell phone and wanted to delete the video he recorded.
But, he set a password on his phone has a password. She tried to enter Edion's birthday, but the password was wrong.
She was surprised. For a narcissistic person like Edison, how come he didn't use his birthday as his password?
Listening to the sound of water in the bathroom, she scratched her head, wondering if Nancy's birth date would work. She checked her information on the Internet with her mobile phone, then entered the day, but it was still wrong.
She only had three chances to unlock the phone, and she didn't dare to try it for the last time. Quietly putting down the phone, she sat down by the sofa, waited for Edison to come out of the shower, and said, "We don't have enough plastic wrap. I'll go to the shopping mall to buy some."
Edison, who was wiping his hair with a towel, responded half-heartedly, "Now?"
"It's cool today, I'll just take it as a walk."
"Alright, go then."
Gwenyth stood up, walked in front of Edison, and stretched out her hand to him.
"What are you doing?"
"Give me the money, not only for the plastic wrap but also for the vegetables." She has already stayed here as his nanny, shouldn't he pay for the groceries?
Edison didn't reply. Instead, he took out the wallet from the drawer of the bedside table and put it in her hand. "Spend whatever you want."
Gwenyth didn't take the whole wallet, but took out 300 dollars from it, and returned the wallet to him. "I'll be back in about an hour." She took the money and walked out.
Just as she went downstairs, Edison followed behind her. He walked toward her, stuffing a key and an access card for the main entrance of the villa into her hand, saying nothing. Then, he turned back and got upstairs.
After putting on her canvas shoes, Gwenyth went out for the groceries.
There was a shopping mall near the Moonlight Villa, and the shopping mall is on the basement level. She pushed the shopping cart and walked slowly between the shelves. When she saw the plastic wrap, she took twenty rolls in one go and then went to the vegetable section. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Since the refrigerator in Edison's house was very large and had plenty of storage space, she bought more vegetables. And after paying the bill, she took the elevator to the first floor while carrying two big bags.
After leaving the shopping mall, she often paused while walking. It wasn't because the things were too heavy, just that the shopping bag's strap was painful to hold.
Soon, she had already walked half of the way back. The Moonlight Villa wasn't far ahead, so it wasn't worthwhile to take a taxi.
After taking a breath, she picked up the bags again, crossed the sidewalk, and continued walking along the side of the road.
All of a sudden, there was a screeching screech of the car brake. A black commercial vehicle suddenly stopped beside her, and before she could react, the door was pulled open, and two men jumped out of the vehicle, one grabbing her arm, while the other covered a black cloth bag onto her head.
Everything happened too fast. When she was dragged into the car, the two bags she was carrying fell on the side of the road.
"Who are you?" Her vision was dark and she couldn't see anything. Not to mention her arms were grabbed, her shoulders were pressed down, and she couldn't move even the slightest while sitting in the car.
However, no one responded to her question.
The car was accelerating. After driving for about twenty minutes, the car stopped.
She heard the door open, and then she was dragged down by two men. At this moment, her heart thumped frantically. She had no idea was being taken to.
Her surrounding was quiet at first. But, within a few seconds, she heard the blaring sound of the music, interspersed with the noises of people talking.
However, those sounds seemed a bit far apart from her.
She couldn't even touch the ground as she was carried onto someone's shoulder, like a bag.
Soon, she was taken to a room. As soon as the door was closed, the sound of music outside has been cut off.
The person who carried her suddenly let go of his grasp. Just when she placed her feet onto the ground, she was pushed behind, causing her to fall to her knees. The black cloth bag on her head was removed.
She squinted her eyes from the sudden light that hurt her eyes.
"Do you know who I am?" Someone spoke in front of her.
She looked up and focused her gaze on the person who was sitting on the couch. It was a young girl, about in her early twenties.
She had seen this person before. When she worked part-time in the fast food restaurant, she saw her, sitting with a boy who was in his eighteen in the restaurant for a long time.
"You are..."
"You don't know who I am?" The girl, with a high ponytail behind, her face covered in thick makeup, was dressed in black and wore exaggerated silver jewelry on her neck and wrists.
After staring at her for a while, Gwenyth recalled the boy who was beside her and understood everything. They were the same age as Martin's son and daughter.
"Are you Martin's daughter?" She remembered that her name should be Luna Engles.
"You're not too stupid, aren't you?"
Just when Gwenyth tried to stand up from the ground, the men behind pressed onto her shoulder hard, stopping her to get up.
"What do you want?" She threw glances at Luna, who was accompanied by two men who kidnapped her.
"Do you know what our relationship is?"
"I have nothing to do with you."
"I found information about your family from Dad's study." Luna frowned, picked up the cigarettes on the coffee table, and lit it up.
Leaning back while holding the cigarette between her fingers, Luna said in an indifferent tone, "Dad prepared a check for you guys. Did you take it?"
"I'd never take his dirty money."
"You're not going to recognize him, are you?"
"I have nothing to do with him, nor do I have anything to do with the Engles."
"Then why did you tell him that I wanted to run you over with my car?"
Because of this incident, Martin threw a big tantrum, locked her up, and made her repent for her actions.
She didn't really crash into Gwenyth and the accident didn't happen. How could she complain to Martin?
The more Luna thought about that incident, the angrier she felt. She wanted to get Gwenyth here to vent her anger.
