Chapter 794: Abduction
Chapter 794: Abduction
Jasmine has had a talk with Pehry before, so she already prepares herself for the scandal about Pehry. But she doesn't expect that it comes so fast.
Seeing that the news that has been forgotten by the public goes viral on the internet again and it's about her boyfriend, Jasmine has a mixed feeling in her heart.
She could make a complaint before, but now she knows his intentions. If she still makes a fuss about it willfully, she will be the unreasonable one.
Jasmine's mind is in a turmoil and she notices that her mother calls more frequently than before.
She can't tell her mother the truth but only keeps silent or makes some excuses. In fact, even if she says the truth, her mother will not understand.
The situation seems a deadlock. Jasmine can’t find a way to blow off steam but only endures all of this. Pehry also becomes more careful when meeting her. They can’t go to public places or restaurants and each time they date secretly.
They tacitly avoid talking about the scandal because they knew it can't be solved but will only stirs up disputes and embarrassment between them when they mention it.
On the other side, Mr. Alfred is also worried about Pehry's increasing scandals.
Pehry doesn't like to expose his private life to the public. In the past, he had lots of fun but there was no picture or discussion about him on the media. Today's result is either acquiesced or arranged by him.
The more he tries to hide, the more it proves that he cares about that girl named Jasmine.
This is not a good omen.
Does he want to distract others' attention to protect Jasmine? He is afraid of her being in danger?
Every time there is a scandal about Pehry, Mr. Alfred will wear a sullen face and is in a bad mood all day. People around him are all frightened, blaming it for Mr. Pehry's self-indulgence.
Only Mr. Alfred and a few people know the real reason.
One day, Mr. Alfred calls his subordinate and finally says, "We can't let him go further like this."
"Mr. Alfred, what do you want to do?"
"Find someone to warn that unknown star and teach her a lesson."
"Yes."
After Mr. Alfred gives the order, Pehry quickly knows it. But he doesn't care as long as his father doesn't make trouble for Jasmine.
Therefore, Stella who is excited about getting close to Pehry, quickly pays for it.
That day, she gets off from work as usual. Her agent needs to talk about a few finishing touches with the publicist but she doesn't want to stay there, so she takes the elevator to the underground parking lot alone.
The black Mercedes-Benz nanny car is parked at the side. Ever since the scandal, her status has risen greatly and the company quickly arranges for her a new car, replacing the old one.
Stella pulls open the door and sits inside. She closes the door and then bows her head to read her own news on the phone without looking up.
Unexpectedly, the car suddenly starts.
Stella is startled and hurriedly holds the door handle beside her. She looks up at the driver's seat and says, "Wait, Mr. Catton! Mellie hasn't come down yet. Don't leave." Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
As the man drives the car, he slowly turns around. And Stella sees a completely strange face.
Stella screams in fright and instinctively retreats, "You! Who are you?"
The man smiles evilly and makes no response. Instead, he steps on the accelerator and drives faster.
The car tires rub against the ground, creating a squeaky sound, which gives Stella goose bumps. She has no idea what he is going to do and his face was fierce.
Stella musters up the courage to lean forward and pulls the man's arm. The man finds an opportunity and hits her on the neck. Stella immediately loses her consciousness.
The man looks at Stella who has fainted in the back seat, dials the phone, and reports respectfully, "I got her."
Twenty minutes later, Mellie and the publicist finish their work and walk together down to the underground garage. They don't see the car as expected and look around confusedly. Then they see Mr. Catton rushing over.
Mellie immediately asks, "Where's the car?"
"Car?" Mr. Catton was obviously at a loss. He casts a glance at the parking space and scratches the back of his head. "I got a call, asking me to get off the car and pick up Miss Stella at the east intersection. I have waited for a long time but nobody comes. Where's the car? I remember it parked here."
Mellie's heart skips a beat. "Where's Stella? Where is she?"
"I don't know. I don't see her either!"
Mellie and the publicist exchange a glance. Both of them have a bad premonition. They don't say anything and immediately run towards the security room.
"Excuse me, our artist is missing. I want to access the surveillance footage from earlier."
"Missing?" The security guard in charge of the surveillance asks curiously, "Who is missing?"
Mellie is so worried that she doesn't consider Stella’s identity and answers, "Stella Wagner! We're here to record a show today. Please let us see the surveillance."
The security guard also knows the name. In fact, everyone has heard this name after the scandal broke out.
He nods and quickly retrieves the surveillance video.
As soon as they see the video, they immediately realize what was going on. A man in black, who looks like Mr. Catton, got into the car. Not long after Stella got into the car, he drove away.
This is the first time Mellie faces such a thing as an agent. Does the man want to kill Stella or just want money?
Why does he choose Stella?
What should she do now?
Mellie is panicky. If Stella was an ordinary person, they could call the police at once. But she is an artist. Mellie immediately breaks out in cold sweat.
In the end, the security guard breaks the silence, "Shall we call the police?"
"No!" Mellie refuses, "We don't know what's going on. She is an artist. If someone else knows, it may get out hand! We can't call the police. "
"Mellie, I can't get through to Stella. What should I do?" The publicist hangs up her phone.
Mellie's face turns pale as she instructs, "I'll call Mr. Devon. We have to let the company know about it."
"But ... but will we be held accountable?"
"We have no alternative!" Mellie roars, "If something bad really happens to Stella, you and I won't be able to bear the consequences!"
She is Stella’s agent. Now Stella is kidnapped. She must take the responsibility for it and report it to the company.
But....
Who exactly does Stella provoke?
