Chapter 22: You Don’t Understand Anything
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Hersha, who was sitting beside Sophia in a panic, saw that her precious daughter had woken up. She reached out and touched Sophia’s forehead, her face full of concern and love.
“Sophia, are you alright? Why did you faint in the elevator?”
At this moment, Sophia realized that the other party might have made a move. At the same time, she felt scared. She didn’t expect them to be so fast and efficient. However, there were surveillance cameras in the elevator. Wouldn’t they be caught easily?
“Mom, where’s Olivia? Is she in the hospital?”
Hersha was confused by her daughter’s concern for Olivia. Didn’t she hate that little b*tch the most? Why did she suddenly ask this?
“I didn’t see her. The hospital nurse found you unconscious.”
Sophia was secretly happy, but she looked very anxious on the surface. She held Hersha’s hand and acted coquettishly.
“Mom, I was thinking about Dad being in the hospital. She hadn’t been here all day, so I called and asked her to come and read a contract while I was there. We went into the elevator together, but now she’s gone. What are we going to do?”
Hersha smiled and replied in a fierce tone, “Silly girl, isn’t that good? That little b*tch deserves it. She got what she deserved for all her evil deeds. God is fair, but it’s all her fault. If it weren’t for her, you wouldn’t have fainted in the elevator.”
Her dissatisfaction with Olivia rose by another level.
“Mom, you should go out first. I have a headache.”
Sophia rubbed her brows and hesitated. Should she call Brian or not? She looked at her phone and saw that it was 20:30. In other words, only 30 minutes had passed.
It was possible that they had not gotten away yet, and the other number had not called her either. Sophia called Hersha in.
“Mom, I’ll sleep for a while. If anyone asks, just tell them that I am still unconscious. Don’t expose me.”
Hersha immediately understood that Olivia’s disappearance had something to do with her daughter. How could she be so foolish? Of course she wouldn’t expose her own daughter. She nodded and continued to stand guard beside the bed.
Perhaps because the drug was too strong, Sophia felt a little dizzy. She put down her phone and went back to sleep.
Olivia was woken up by a basin of water and found herself in a small space. Her body was tied up, and the surroundings were dark. In front of her was a man wearing a face mask.
“Where are we? Why did you capture me?”
Olivia wasn’t afraid in her heart. She knew that it was useless to be afraid now. Instead of acting like a naive little girl and begging for mercy, she might as well think about how to save herself.
Her eyes darted around as she surveyed her surroundings. She was searching for anything that could help her escape. There was a fruit knife on a small stool. What Olivia needed to do now was to buy time and also find out who had captured her.
“You don’t have to care where this is. You’ve offended someone you shouldn’t have. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have troubled me to capture you.”
The man reached out to help Olivia up and scrutinized her face.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, not a bad face. No wonder Mr. Ford made you his wife. There are so many women around him, but he only chose you. It’s your honor and misfortune.”
The man’s words made Olivia a little puzzled. Could it be that Brian was the one who had her kidnapped? What was going on today?
The gloominess in her eyes and the doubt on her face were not like the usual behavior of a rich lady.
The man was a little shocked. He felt that Olivia had the same emotions as him. Suddenly, he felt some sympathy for her. His heart softened, and he said a few more words. “Don’t worry about it. We won’t do anything to you. We just want you to lose the fetus.”
The man’s words were spoken very lightly. To Olivia, it was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. In this life, the first goal of her rebirth was Mia, and the second was revenge. But now, she absolutely wouldn’t allow herself to lose this child again.
Olivia clenched her fists tightly. It turned out that Brian had been nice recently just to make her lower her guard. They had gotten married because she was pregnant, but as Olivia thought about it, she realized that something was wrong. Even so, there was no need for Brian to lie to her and bring her to the hospital.
Instead, it was her stepmother and stepsister who had urged her. If Brian wanted her to miscarry, it would be too easy. There was no need to go through so much trouble. The ones who wanted to harm her would definitely be her stepmother and stepsister.
“That’s all? That’s easy to say, but you have to tell me who wants to harm me, right? Otherwise, if I provoke them again in the future, it might not be as simple as this. I might even lose my life.”
Olivia could only say this. After all, the only reason someone would kidnap a person was for money. Since they weren’t loyal, they could very well be used by her.
The man was a little moved. He had done this because he had no way out and wanted to treat his sick mother. He was only willing to let her miscarry and not harm her life.
“I haven’t seen the client. I only know that it’s Miss Smith.”
Miss Smith? Olivia quickly searched through her memories of her previous life.
‘Smith… Wait a minute, isn’t it that little girl, Laura Smith? I’ve only scolded her, and she’s already looking for someone to kidnap me?’
Seeing how indecisive the man was, Olivia had a foolproof plan.
“So it’s her? Then you really don’t understand. Such a person will only hurt others for her own benefit. Who knows, she might bring the police to accuse you later. When that time comes, who will believe your words when you say that you have no evidence?”
The man felt that Olivia’s words weren’t unreasonable. However, the client had been very straightforward when it came to transferring money. She had already transferred $300,000 into his account, so she shouldn’t be so ruthless, right?
“She already gave me $300,000. I don’t think that will happen. She’ll give me $700,000 after the task is completed. I’ve already received the initial payment. Could it be that she wants the $300,000 to go to waste?”
The man’s tone clearly lacked confidence. Olivia knew that her words had worked.
“Only $300,000? That’s nothing. Her net worth is beyond your imagination. Besides, if she calls the police and they catch you, she’ll have achieved her goal and saved $700,000. That’s killing two birds with one stone.”
Olivia deliberately acted as if she was very considerate of the man. She shot a glance at the man, who lowered his head as if he was thinking about something. Olivia decided to psych him once more to thoroughly convince the man.
“However, you really made a loss. You’re willing to kidnap me for just $1,000,000. Brian dotes on me so much that I’m sure there aren’t many people in New York City who don’t know about it. If Brian catches you, I really don’t know what he will do to you. You also know that he has the nickname of the Tyrant King…”
Olivia deliberately didn’t finish the sentence, leaving behind enough uncertainty for the man to think about. On the other hand, her face was full of worry, as if she was thinking about the poor man’s future.
